In the video Alois stated the weight of the V8 was significantly lighter then the Porsche H6. He didn't specify which H6 (3.8 or?) but clearly this was one of the engineering goals in designing this V8.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of a V8 in the 911 platform, however I like this design, the attention to detail in gear driving all the accessories, locating them as low as possible in the engine are just a few examples of the engineering prowess Alois and his team posses. I say let them run with it! One would believe Porsche pays attention to RUF's products
Who isn't looking forward to hearing that flat crank V8 scream to 8,500 rpms!
Now if he had made this a mid-engine design it would be hard to disagree with this package at any level, no?
