1) it's different
2) passive-cooling is inadequate with the Carrera. It requires 'supercharging', if you will, in order not to 'Chernobyl' the engine.
The provided link does not show how it is different, it appears to address alternator efficiency. I decided to answer my own question and got this far:

https://www.researchgate.net/publica...he_911_Carrera

Quote:
Inspite of the roughly 15% increase of the cooling-air flow through the radiators, it has even been possible to reduce the cooling drag level of the new 911 to below that of the predecessor model. The low cooling-air losses of the 911 are primarily due to the integrally designed cooling-air ducting from the inlet to the outlet openings, the large radiator areas, low internal pressure losses and mainly to the control of the cooling-air mass flow rate and cooling drag through the clearly reduced outlet cross-sections.
I just skimmed this but no mention of a blower?
