It is normal for sales to be down at the end of the model cycle. Let's see how wrong or right PCNA gauged the market with the sales figures of the new 987. The 300 hp engine is not that far away. With a tweak here and there I am sure that the figure is achievable quite easy. Right now the new 0-100 km is 5.2 sec. in the 987 with 5.7 sec on the 986. A 300 hp will bring that down to 4.9 perhaps. Is it necessary? NO but whowould not want that performance
