Thank emissions and consumption regulations for that. There"s now piezo injection, an all-new intake system, an exhaust with a particulate filter, re-positioned intercooling, revised turbo housings, and more. It"s all gathered around much the same 3.0-litre turbocharged flat-six block, which was introduced with the second-generation 991 that this car replaces.They haven"t moved it that"d be a story in itself but they have changed how it"s attached to the body, making it stiffer. That"ll be hugely beneficial when the drop-top arrives next year.There have been some big changes in the chassis, too. The wheels have staggered sizes now; in the Carrera S that means 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels. The front track has been widened by 40mm and all Carreras will have the same wide booty of the GTS. Yes, no more narrow-bodied Carreras, all of them looking the same whether they"re rear- or four-wheel drive.
