The m3 I completely understand as clearly there is a significanat departure on many fronts for the new m3.
On top of having EPS, the engine will also be different. it will no longer be a Mezger engine (google it if you want more info), which was derived from the GT1 race car. Race proven, bullet proof, and unfortunately, history.

Thus why my one and only Porsche car will be a 997.1 Turbo. The last of its kind.
Mezger lives on. The 991 GT3 RSR carries the Mezger engine rather than the tweaked 9A1 in the new GT3. What does that say? Other than the infamous RMS leak, Mezger is bullet proof.

It's def an end of an era. Turbo M3 and GT3 w/ PDK and electric steering.
