(Old news for those lucky Pelicans who get their copies of Excellence sooner than I do)
4.5 liter, 32 valve, 4 cam V8 rated at 550hp@8500rpm(redline)(!)/367 lb.ft of torque@5400rpm. (Nothing in the article about the vee angle)
Here's the kicker, it weighs 485 lbs, compared to the current GT3 engine that weighs 584. Plus it will sit two inches lower in the rear of the 911 than the flat six.
Interesting fun fact: direct drive for the water pump, generator, and AC compressor - no accessory belts needed.
Production begins in late 2011.
