The GT-R will be targetted at 911T buyers ...

...and if you read the small print it will have "blembo" brakes... or is that "blembo blakes"?

It's nice to know that the GTR is supposed to be a sub 4 sec. car.

0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds is what I hope it turns out to be or even 3.5....

:lol Maybe if I just take out the spare tire....

Sweet, except for the "integrated turbine-manifold." The turbo and manifold are becoming one? Good luck upgrading! LOL

Just replace the manifold with the turbo.

They must be doing it for more efficient packaging and lower cost.

Besides... Isn't 473 factory-warrantied BHP isn't enough for you?

I would think it would be especially with AWD.

Ya, a 3.8L TT V6 isn't a tiny package, and they also need to effectively cram a FWD transaxle under the hood too.

Interesting that they made a comment in the article about how short, compact and light the engine is. At this level all that stuff is critically important.

I think they're partially justifying going the 3.8L V6 TT route instead of a modified 4.5L V8 NA.

I'm glad they didn't go with the V8, because you just know the 'Vette and Rustang mulletboys would be saying pointless things like "A 4.5L V8??? LOL!!!!11111!!!!!111 My 'Vette wud eat dat in a drag rase all day!!!!!!111111"
