Yeah, being rear-engined, a V-10 with 741hp may be a little hard to squeeze into one, but maybe not. we'll see.

It's mid engined not rear mounted, but yes 600 in my mind would be enough..however that would blow pretty much anything that ever had a chance out of the water (in the hands of the correct driver). I also would like to hear what st-anger has to say about this...I'm surprised he has not said anything unless he was not able to inform us.

I really dont like this move. It looks like Porsche is just trying to make more money. Leave it as is. By doing this I think they are killing the special unique image of the CGT.
It's like Ferrari offering the Enzo with a Turbo with 900bhp.....wtf
by doing this they are killing the CGTs image...like they got something else to prove. I saw this coming from a Tuner but not Porsche....

You son of a bitch! You got me. I thought it was fishy when you said it would be made in a 100 production run. That seemed too much for such a car.
