    Well, according to the mire of rumours spread by the world of automotive journalism, because of the limited capacity increases available in the Flat-6 arrangement, Porsche will, at some point in the future, switch to a rear-mid V8.
    Thanks for all the fish

    at least in that shape we do not stand the risk that the car will be homologated as a touring car, as happened in the mid sixties....

    Although I'm not saying that's impossible, I think it's pure speculation.
    Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.

    That wouldn't be a 911 anymore. And more appropiately it should be a flat-8.

    That was a clever move by Porsche, which homologated the car in groups 1, 2, 3 and 4. But FIA realised and quickly banned it from touring car racing...

    Don't get me wrong, I love the 911! Who was it that said something like "A woman would just put the engine in the middle, but ..." . I wonder how the sentence ends, I forgot

    "A woman would've put the engine in the front. But because Porsche is run by men, they stubbornly tried to engineer their way round the problem for the last 40 years." (It went something like this, and it was Clarkson on the 911 996 Turbo).

    well , Porsches are all about performance and usabilty .the new 911 turbo will take on the gallardo and it has rear seats ..
    the turbo is the car that demands your respect rather than love while the gallardo is a stunning car that u will love it .
    can Desire be engineered ?

    The forthcoming GT2 will probably be a much better car to compare directly with the Gallardo, and may well prove to be faster.
    They better believe it!

    Who cares? I'll take both in white, please.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Lambo and Porsche. Nucing or Global Warming. Both have the same end result except one is more fun, i'd take the Lambo. Now, i'm not much of a fan of the Gallardo, but compared with a 911, tch! But its the Lambo's sounds that seal the deal for me.
