991.2 numbers & details
Discussion
Found this on Autobild.de by an author who sat on the passenger seat, not sure they were supposed to publish this already but who knows...
http://www.autobild.de/artikel/porsche-911-991-fac...
3.0L turbo flat six in all cars
C2: 370 PS @ 6500 rpm, 4,3 to 100 km/h
C2S: 420 PS @ 6600 rpm (450 with powerkit) 4,0 to 100 km/h
(+0,2 sec for manual with the same gearing)
max torque ~500 Nm @ 1700-? rpm
good surge until 5000 rpm, less urge from 5000 to the 7500 rpm redline.
38 mpg
1475kg (no mention of DIN or EG or PDK vs manual... safe to say it isn't much lighter than the current car)
Soundsymposer (yeeep, they went there)
918-style mode switch with "Sport", "Sport Plus", "Individual" settings instead of buttons. Red center button that shifts the PDK into the optimum gear, the turbos precharge electrically (!?) for perfect throttle response (no overboost). This lasts 120 seconds.
Active aero flaps in the front bumper for cooling and balance above 170 km/h
One of the settings lowers the ride height by 20mm - 50mm front lift standard on all cars.
C2S with ChronoPlus has RWS and an e-LSD. Not sure if all C2S get RWS or if it's a ChronoPlus option.
New PCM with multitouch and handwriting recognition
Optional lane change assistant and center console raised 15mm "to cater to the changing customer profile of the carrera"
Throttle response apparently less then optimal on mountain passes, unlike with the n/a cars you have to keep the boost and revs up for best throttle response.

Also on a not completely unrelated note, Röhrl appears to be leaving Porsche. Goes hand in hand with his comments on the turbo engines from a few months ago. He's certainly not afraid to speak his mind.

interview said:
SPOX: By now you are 68 years old and more than 40 years on the road with automobiles. Come as slow thoughts on the pension?
Röhrl: I believe that I am strong enough to stop the end of 2015. When Wiedeking was gone and the influence of VW grew larger, the relationship flattened. It is no longer the Porsche spirit from the past. With so many blue men running around with a tie, who have no clue. That I can take no more. The resistance is stronger than the joy of the brand. Those with whom I have to deal with every day, make me livid. On the other hand I have afraid to make only my garden. I have at least another hall with eight old cars. The need to be moved. (laughs)
