Porsche 911 Turbo by Sportec

The German model has the six-cylinder boxer unit of 3.6 liters. With the Swiss tuners changes it can produce 858 horsepower at a speed of 8200 rpm and can develop a torque of 869 Nm at a speed of 4800 rpm. In addition of SPR1, the new package proposed by Sportec reduces by 50 kg the weight of the model. This weight reduction was possible thanks to the car body panels of composite material.

Also the German model received a set of carbon ceramic disc brakes and a roll cage. With SPR1R kit the model of the manufacturer from Stuttgart sprints from 0-100 km/h in 3.0 seconds and achieve a maximum speed of 380 km/h.

Possible Porsche 928 sketch

That doesn’t stop speculators from thinking this may actually be more than just a webdesign gimmick and according to most this could highlight an eventual new Porsche 928.

Couple this image with some rumors that just won’t go away about Porsche and their pipeline including a two-door GT and an enthusiast can only hope for the future lineup from Stuttgart’s sportiest German car manufacturer.

Then there’s the recent announcement that leaked from a dealer meeting with new products and variations from the guys at Porsche and hope gets stronger and stronger.

Sorry, but I’m gonna have to break it down for you nice and easy. While I would love to see a modern day 928 kill the Ferrari 599 just for the fun of it, this isn’t it. I’m not saying it’s not going to be made but rather that this is nothing other than a sketch of the future generation of 911s.

If you actually take a closer look you will find the styling cues of the 911 shape everywhere, then again, most products from Porsche have those cues don’t they? Well, the 928 never did, it had a more “mainstream” approach. Remember the trapezoidal side windows? Remember the long bonnet due to a front mounted engine? These are big things to consider when talking about a future 928 and this sketch doesn’t have them.

Nice looking though.

Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid

After having placed sixth in the debut race the factory team running a 911 GT3 R Hybrid has just scored a podium finish in this weekend race at the Nurburgring Long Distance Championship.

The drivers, Joerg Bergmeister and Wolf Henzler, have praised the car after the trouble free four hour race they ran in the flywheel hybrid car. They are very pleased with the extra 120 kilowatts (160 horsepower) that was available in the car which came from the electric motors and was very handy when accelerating out of the corners.

Another important aspect in this sort of race, and probably only in this sort of race (endurance) is that the car has better fuel economy as it was able to complete the race with one less pit stop then all the other 911s that participated in this particular race. This electro-mechanical drive system might be quite a bit of an advantage if they can keep their current rate of climb in the ranks.

As the title says, we got a rendering photo and as usual, in this time of a car namely before it would be released, we got few details and also few images or spy photos. This rendering photo is based on the spy photos that were taken until this moment but most of those car were camouflaged so the designer made few modifications at this car comparing it to the 997 and 998.

Two months ago, we talked about some spy photos so if you’re interested about further details, you can look on this blog for those spy shots and read the article.

Comparing this rendered 2011 Porsche 991 to the Porsche 997 and Porsche 998, the front lights are placed more upright and the side mirrors are not placed anymore on the side window corner, they are sitting on the side of the door. Talking about this aspect of the mirrors, I have to say that I prefer to be sitting better on the side window corner.

Germans from RUF, specialized in Porsche models change, have made a V8 conversion for the Porsche 911. It offers 550 hp and 500 Nm and goes into production in early 2011.

German tuners from RUF have created a V8 conversion for the Porsche 911, they called it RGT-8. It is based on 997 generation of the Porsche 911 and is equipped with a V8 engine developed in-house by those from RUF. The engine have the V at an angle of 180 degrees and benefits of four valves per cylinder, the combustion chamber having a spherical profile. The engine have a capacity of 4.5 liters and develops 550 hp and 500 Nm.

The maximum engine power is supplied at 8500 rpm, while the maximum engine moment is offered at 5400 rpm. The V8 unit of 4.5-liter is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, which transmits all the power to the rear wheels. The front wheels have 19 inch size and have a width of 9 inches, while the rear wheels have 19 inch size and a width of 12 inches. They are equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires of 245/35, and 325/30.

Yes, another post talking about a very fast and powerful dream car and as you can see in the title, we talk about the new 2011 Porsche 911 Convertible. I mean what would be greater than a fast and powerful car? Of course, a fast and powerful convertible car like this one.

Anyway, I think that the place where they tested this 2011 Porsche 911 Convertible is a bit inappropriate for that weather or road, it would fit much perfectly in a city like Miami or somewhere where the weather is very hot and you would like to cool a little bit in a fast and powerful car like this 2011 Porsche 911 Convertible.

People are saying that this 2011 Porsche 911 Convertible is going to come with a 3.6 liter engine and also another 3.8 liter engine which are as powered as I was expecting because this is how Porsche is doing the things.

TechArt has unveiled few pictures of their package for Porsche 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S, which will be presented at the Motor Show in Geneva.

Tuners from TechArt will present the package of changes for Porsche 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S at the Geneva Motor Show. The changes start with two aerodynamic packages, which both have the ability to increase the press force and improve the air tightness around the two versions of the 911 Turbo. The couple of packages are called Aerokit I and Aerokit II.

TechArt also offers a range of alloy wheels for 911 Turbo made by forging, which are available in sizes up to 20 inches. To avoid problems caused by elements mounted on the road to reduce speed of cars in high traffic areas of pedestrians. The system that we are talking about will raise the front by 60 mm in a hydraulic mode, then back down when it exceeds 40 km/h.

We have here the popular Porsche 911 in a hybrid version which will be presented at Geneva Auto Show 2010. Just think about it, Porsche is from now on friend with the nature providing a 911 coupe hybrid version. That version is not ready yet, for now we have present at Geneva Auto Show 2010 a hybrid version of the racing car Porsche 911 GT3 R.

Beside that monster engine with the capacity of 4.0 liter which develops 480 horsepower they added two electric engines which move the front deck. The electric engines of the Porsche 911 GT3 R cannot be used permanently, but for maximum 8 seconds. The drive can power on the engines with a push of the button, those provide an extra 120 kW (160 horsepower) to the front wheels.

I don’t have to tell you what advantage that energy can give you on the track. For now there are no plans or rumors about putting this kind of technology in the series models, but I’m sure that in a couple of years even the 911 models will be equipped with that technology.

Porsche engineers may develop a competition version of the 911 GT3-RSR equipped with a hybrid powertrain. This will start in the 24 hours race at Nurburgring.

Germans from Porsche will compete in the 24 hours race at Nurburgring this year with a hybrid version of Porsche 911 GT3-RSR. The model will use a hybrid propulsion system that will work in the style of the KERS system from Formula 1. Hybrid version of Porsche 911 GT3-RSR will keep the engine fueled with gasoline and will be equipped with an electric motor powered by a set of batteries. Most likely, the model will focus on capturing kinetic energy lost in braking and this will provide more power at the exit of corners.

Porsche has already announced hybrid versions of Cayenne and Panamera models. For now, the German manufacturer has not made any statement on a street hybrid version of the 911. Those from Porsche are expected to make a statement on the hybrid version of 911 GT3-RSR during the week.

On the internet are available new spy photos with the new Porsche 911 unofficial named, probably by the fans, Porsche 991 (this is how I’ll call it from now) or Porsche 998. This time, the 2011 Porsche 911 have been captured while being tested in winter condition.

Porsche may give you the impression of a really cool and also very powerful car but it doesn’t touch dirty roads but as you see from these spy photos, the 2011 Porsche 911 got really dirty so you should not think like this anymore. You should notice if you’re a fan of this auto maker that it looks a little bit similar to the Porsche Panarema because they have the same door mirrors.

Right now, this 2011 Porsche 911 really surprised me because it will be available with the rear wheel drive but also with the all wheel drive and I would expect to be available only the first option.
