the rs spyder's v8:
The 90-degree V8 racing engine with a displacement of 3.4 litres generated 478 bhp with the air-restrictor prescribed for 2008. The version used in the ALMS since mid-2008, which comes with direct fuel injection (DFI), generates as much as 503 bhp. Distinguishing features of the long-distance engine are its low weight and low centre of gravity.
I dont think anyone would complain if Porsche puts this in the next gen 911
woohoo!

"Action Express Porsche-powered Riley Wins Rolex 24
Porsche Power Succeeds at the Rolex 24 at Daytona as Action Express Racing Porsche Riley Wins Overall; TRG Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Entries Second and Third in GT
Mechanical problems, bad luck, and on-track incidents push Porsche 911 GT3 Cup teams off the top step of the Rolex GT podium; Broken driveshaft, engine ills ruin Brumos Porsche’s chance to repeat
Using a veteran driver line-up including Ryan Dalziel, Mike Rockenfeller, Joao Barbosa, and Terry Borcheller, and support from a veteran team, Brumos Racing, the Action Express Racing Porsche-powered Riley upset the pre-race favorites to win the 48th running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
The engine is a Porsche Cayenne-based V8 built as a independent project and mated to a Riley chassis."
