Don't know if this info is accurate, but worth reading. http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=103796

If correct, I'm glad to hear they will continue to use the GT1-derived engine.

If they really come out with a $120,000 turbo with only 450 hp then they are really crazy!

The variable turbine geometry sounds awesome, I cant wait to take apart one of those turbos.

120,000? Are you kidding me? Did anyone here pick up a brand new 996tt for 120? I'll bet the 997TT will be much closer to 150k.

My reasonably optioned 2001 996tt was stickered at 124k. This is going to be a lot of money, for a car that still doesnt have 500hp.

Variable turbo It ought to be quite the lady's car. Either Porsche has reinvented the VT or the 997tt will become a very domesticated car.
