Interesting interview here with Frank-Steffen Walliser, essentially the guy in charge on future 911s. Essentially:

1// New EU restrictions in 2026 will be measured on putting a max power per displacement (a crazy, counter-intuitive paradox if you're trying to reduce emissions)
2// Since you can only have X power per litre, manufactures will likely need to go larger displacement vs. squeezing more power out of smaller engines
3// This means the 911 engine will likely need to get bigger, but still need turbos to meet emissions standards
4// I think this means we can expect the 992.1 or 992.2 to truly be the last NA GT3. Yes, he talks about the possibility of different engines in different markets but I don't honestly see that happening.

On the bright side, I do love that he says he'd love to somehow make the 911 smaller...
