What will the 997/998 get from the Carrera GT?

The specs and technology on the Carrera GT are just fantastic, so I was wondering which bits of technology might get transfered to 997 and 998? The ceramic clutch? Wheels? Interior pieces?

What do you think?

My $.02...

Ceramic clutch would be my first bet. The wheels are centerlock magnesium alloy, so I would not be waiting for those... though anything is possible. Interior pieces... I am sure that some will make it, but it is hard to tell without knowing what the interior of future 911 models will look like.

IMHO maybe to the GT2/GT3 versions of the 997 like the special differential, ceramic brakes improvements, wheels, transmision, etc but I'm not to optimistic about anything making it to the mass production regular n/a and turbo versions directed to the broad market, except maybe some aesthetical clues to capitalize on the CGT's prestige
