next carrera s is said to be getting 421ps (autocar)

combine it with PDK &sport+ and my estimations would be

Max speed 310 km/h
0-100 km/h 3.7 seconds
0-160 km/h 7.9 seconds
0-200 km/h 12.1 seconds
0-300 km/h 48.6 seconds (better Aerodynamic's)
Quarter mile 11.5 seconds

and as usual they will be claiming a conservative 4.1 seconds to 62mph (for pdk with sport+)when the car first hit the show..

BUT being light as a 09 gt3 (1370kg) & only 14ps down the 2011 carrera s with PDK combined with SPORT+ will smoke the 09 gt3 in strait line..

Interesting that this car with Steve Sutcliffe at the wheel was slower around Millbrook than a 2.9 basic Porsche Boxter with Jason Plato at the wheel! Plato is a professional driver but Sutcliffe is pretty handy, so it just shows that you cant use the extra power on a winding circuit - Millbrook is a good approximation of an english b road..

The Porsche 911 is far more enjoyable to drive than the Nissan GTR. Hell the Porsche Cayman is more fun to drive. The G37?? LMFAO!!!!!!!! I think I\'d have more fun playing PS3 vs. driving a GTR. It\'s a freakin none driver involvement, robotic, passionless, driving appliance that makes grandma look like a hero. No thanks! Porsche all the way!!!
