Character

M28.70/M28.80

"Brute force V8TT. 550-630hp. Reliable but maintenance costs are eye-watering. Turbo oil lines need watching."

MA3

"992 GT3/GT3 RS. 9,000 rpm redline. Derived from RSR race engine. No IMS. No bore scoring. Individual throttle bodies. Most exotic production flat-6 ever. Track-ready but street reliable."
