More Porsche 998 Speculation
Posted 2nd January, 2007 in Porsche | Leave a comment
Some time ago, we brought you this rendering of a futuristic 998, but according to Wikipedia, the Porsche 998 could be with us by 2009 and could feature an all-new 3.8 or 4L powerplant.
Even though Porsche has always said they’d never deviate from a rear engine layout, it’s rumoured that some of the Stuttgart engineers would love to see a mid-engined configuration.
The body of the 998 could be constructed using aluminium, and according to the speculation, the next GT2 and GT3 models could even be wearing optional carbon fibre wheels!
It sounds like a massive jump in development for a car that’s evolved so gradually over the past forty years, and could be 100 percent speculation, but it still makes for an interesting read.
Time will tell what’s fact and what’s fiction.
