保时捷GT生产项目负责人Andreas Preuninger近日表示,下一代GT高性能车和RS车型将更注重车身轻量化而非更强劲的功率。Preuninger表示，我并不赞同单纯的，一而再，再而三的提升功率。从我个人的体验看，372千瓦/500马力已经足够了。因为如果功率提升到522-596千瓦/700-800马力，就必须要求配备更大刹车盘，更坚固悬挂，这样车身将变得越来越重。而进一步提升功率重量比则显然更合理。不过他承认，下一代GT车型功率仍将超过上代车型，降低功率并不符合消费者口味。Preuninger暗示，下一代911 GT3将搭载自然进气引擎并标配手动变速器，同时也提供PDK双离合器变速器供消费者选择。

 

Porsche's next GT and RS models to be lighter

Porsche's Andreas Preuninger has suggested the next-generation of high-performance GT and RS model will focus on being lighter instead of more powerful.

 

Speaking to Car, Preuninger said "I’m not a believer in this horsepower monster, up, up, up, more, more, more. For my personal tastes, around 500 bhp (372 kW) is enough, because 700-800 bhp (522-596 kW) calls for bigger brakes, sturdier suspension, it gets heavier and heavier logically."

 

He went on to say a specific horsepower per kilo ratio "makes more sense" than trying to add 50 bhp (37 kW) in every new generation.   However, he conceded that the next-generation of high-performance models will likely have more power than their predecessors as a decrease in power wouldn't sit well with customers.

 

Preuninger also suggested the next 911 GT3 will have a naturally aspirated engine as well as a manual transmission. Speaking of the latter, he said "We just want to offer both [manual and PDK transmissions], so everybody should make up his mind and choose."
