215? Are you having extra work done to the engine? I thought they were 194ish standard, maybe im wrong in that case welcome to team N/A 210+

It's from a special edition 406 coupé, Porsche took the standard engine and tuned the engine for the better and named the engine d9. There is still room for future improvements

people say the d9 engine has variable valve timing which accounts for the increase in power over the older d8 engine.
but i think it also has a variable length inlet manifold, it definitely has sequential injection and electronic throttle. and the d8 doesn't have any of that. but the d8 is easier (and cheaper) to find and fit.
you may be thinking now about future tuning . . . . but once you get to the redline in third gear, you will forget all of that
. . . . for a little while anyway
