Next 911 Race Car Mid-Engine? What?

Dr. Frank Walliser, the head of Porsche's motorsports division, told Sportscar365 ​that the new car "must be ready for '17, so we must work like hell." But when Sportscar365 asked if the car's engine would be a variant of the Carrera's turbocharged flat-six, he would not comment.
