This isn't a special edition. This model will continue to be apart of the family until the 911 finally dies, which will be when the world ends.

Porsche: "Integrated dry-sump lubrication ensures a reliable supply of oil even when a sporty driving style is adopted. It also has additional cooling functions.

The oil tank is located in the engine, thereby eliminating the need for an external oil tank. Four oil pumps remove the oil from the cylinder heads directly into the oil sump. A fifth pump in the oil sump directly supplies the lubricating points in the engine.

To prevent foaming, the oil is channeled through cylinders known as swirlpots. In this way, optimum lubrication is guaranteed at all times.

To reduce drive losses and increase efficiency, an electronic on-demand oil pump is used. This means that the oil pump is operated at high power when there is high demand and at low power when there is low demand.

The result is an optimized oil supply appropriate to requirements, lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions.

Single-jet piston spray nozzles cool the piston crowns with oil from the main lubrication circuit – another detailed solution that helps to reduce the thermal load on the engine.

For the engine, these detailed solutions mean a consistent supply of oil regardless of gravitational loads, even in the most demanding track conditions."

This i like. I have always wondered why they didn't do a 2wd with a wide body before? C4s for the Winter and GTS for the summer!

That's a bunch of BS. Integrated dry sump is an oxymoron.

If it was so good, they would have used the A91 in GT cars.

Or the RSR.

But they won't, because it is not dry sump.
