Well, there it is. I wonder if the numbers are accurate or expected to change in the next 4 months

Horsepower = 525
Torque = ~530
Curb weight = ~3,267 lbs. - 1485 kg
Power to weight = Less than a Ferrari 599

Hmmm, STILL I cant get over the "gills" in the rear. Maybe in person they will be a little more appealing........ at least i hope they will be.

0 - 60 in 4.5 seconds? Doesn't sound right to me. So far they have only gotten the Gt3 and RS right.

Car prices rarely follow direct exchange rates.

But, Im sure this car will hold its own to the 599. If not, A little exhaust and ECU upgrade will be in store.

997 Turbo already has 620-680 Nm of torque. That is why I thinck that this info is pure speculation

Buddy... you know Porsche's HP is always known to be very under rated... 525 its more like 600... and i doubt anything less than a 599 or CGT will out accelerated...

I would take a TT over that and chip it. 525 HP without AWD means alot cars will be end up meeting poles, curbes, ditches or other cars.
