I believe he also oversaw design of the water cooled 996 motor. Interesting life’s work. RIP

I believe he also oversaw design of the water cooled 996 motor. Interesting life’s work. RIP The GT engine only, known as the Mezger engine. Many owners wish he had worked on the standard 996 engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I have a 2001 996 TT with his motor, outside of the cooling pipes the motor is bullet proof and feels like more than 415HP. No IMS issues either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
