    the 911 turbo motor needs the side vents to help cool the motor. that would not be ideal on a car kicking up dirt everywhere. the sport classic gets away without having side vents probably from some clever rerouting of intake air through the floor. someone can correct me if i’m wrong. the smaller turbos of gts give a quicker spool up as well, at the cost of top end power.

    the gt3 4.0 is a relatively low torque motor. not ideal for climbing hills and sand dunes. especially with the dakar weighing like 500 pounds more than the gt3.

      Those side intakes you speak of in a turbo aren’t for cooling, those are for combustion. 911 stopped being air cooled in 1998. Lol
