Interestingly, the model Porsche 911 Speedster, was released after 25 years of division Porsche Exclusive, released a limited edition of 356 cars. So all atvo series, coming off the assembly line will be collectible.

2011 Porsche 911 Speedster: Flat, with limited

Porsche puts on a new 911 Speedster in a small series. As a tribute to the first Porsche Speedster with the name - the 356 Speedster - the new model is limited to 356 copies. World premiere of new 911 Speedster of 2 until October 17, 2010 at the Auto Salon in Paris.

The 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine of the Speedster makes 408 hp. They are just as much horsepower as in the new 911 Carrera GTS, which is also presented in Paris, and 23 hp more than the 911 Carrera S. With an average consumption of 10.3 liters per 100 kilometers, the Speedster is not, however, thirstier than the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. The power transmission to the rear axle with limited slip differential as standard assumes the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox PDK. Similarly, there is the standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and a ceramic brake system.

Porsche 911 GTS 2011: It will play on Paris video and photos

As commonly in the GTS Porsche announces end of life of a model and it appears that this is still the case with the 911 GTS to be unveiled in October at the World Cup.

The 911 GTS (coupe and cabriolet) is a 2WD version but has the "wide hips" versions of RM or more sports. It is developed around the Carrera S in 3.6 L H6 engine, but in a version that took 23 horses. So the GTS has an output of 408 horsepower (385 hp and 420 Nm on the Carrera s) and always sufficient torque of 420 Nm which allows it to reach 302 km / h and 0 to shoot 100 km / h in only 4.2 seconds or 0.5 seconds faster than a Carrera S.

Great Expectations _ 2011 Porsche 911

Porsche is one of the most recognized automotive sports car brands that touts some of the most subtle changes over the longest period of time for its iconic 911. The Porsche 911’s history will tell us not to expect much to be changed on the upcoming 2011 Porsche 911 but according to various sources such as Automobile Magazine, we may see a “big” change.

Over the past couple years Porsche has seen a decline in sales numbers for the 911 in-part due to the new Panamera and Cayenne sales. Other reasons for these numbers are rather obvious when look at the current economic conditions. A new fresh product for any automaker is a gamble but what if the ‘new’ product carries almost 50 years successful of history in the sports car market?

The newest Porsche 911, codenamed 991, will be ‘all-new’ incorporating new advancements such as a redesigned suspension, electrically-assisted power steering, push-button handbrake, optional twenty-inch wheels, seven-speed manual transmission and the obvious… more powerful engine availability. The new 911 will be about 100 pounds lighter and 10 percent more efficient than the current model.


Porsche 911 rendering (not an actual representation)

The rear-engine layout will remain the same with the rear axle pushed back about 3 inches. After all, this is a Porsche 911 we are talking about here. The efficiency of the new 911 will be mainly due to refined aerodynamics, battery management technology that incorporates start-stop technology with brake energy regeneration.

What else should we expect from the 2011 Porsche 911? How about 20-inch wheels, larger brake discs and six-piston front brake calipers for the Carrera S? Depending on the model, the 911 will be sitting about .4 to .8 inches lower. The base Carrera will have dual oval exhausts, 19-inch wheels, black brake calipers and the typical motorized tail spoiler that automatically extends at 60mph.

The 911’s evolution remains to be restrained from any drastic changes. As such, the Carrera will get a 3.4-liter 350hp direct-injection flat-six. If you are not taking notice, that is 5hp more than the current 3.8-liter. The Carrera S will get a 400hp 3.8-liter. Can’t wait to see what the Carrera S will do with 400 horsepower sent through a 7-speed manual tranny!

Expect to see a cabriolet version of the 911 a year after the coupe debuts. Supposedly the traditional canvas top is gone in place of a man-made fabric covered hard-top retractable roof. This only adds to our excitement… Can’t Wait!

TechArt Widebody Based on The Porsche Boxster

Athletic Beauty: TechArt Widebody based on the Porsche Boxster (987)

The Athletic beauty: The TechArt Widebody based on the Porsche Boxster of the 987 model range doesn't only offer spectacular design but also extra driving fun and agility. After the huge success of the Widebody concept for the first Boxster generation, TechArt Automobildesign ( www.techart.de ) developed a wide body version for the current version of the roadster.

With the add-on fender flarings on front and rear axle the TechArt Widebody is eight centimeters wider than the standard car. The front extensions don't only provide extra room inside the wheel houses but also improve the deventilation of the heated up air with their integrated wheel-house ventilation. The rear flarings are equipped with largely dimensioned air ducts to bring fresh air to the centrally placed engine.

Apart from spectacular, sporty design the TechArt designers of course paid attention to optimal aerodynamic efficiency. The TechArt front spoiler bumper reduces the lift at the front axle and improves the cooling of the front brakes with large air ducts. The TechArt rear apron with integrated diffuser rounds out the conversion.

Extremely broad wheels and tires make the TechArt Widebody concept for the Boxster complete: Specially for this wide body version they developed custom-made versions of the one-piece TechArt Formula five spoke wheel. The front axle is equipped with wheels in size 8.5Jx20, the rear axle is equipped with 11Jx20 wheels.

TechArt Automobildesign recommends ContiSportContact 2 high performance tires in sizes 235/30 ZR 20 front and 305/25 ZR 20 rear for the Widebody based on the Porsche Boxster. The height-adjustable TechArt sport suspension is specially set-up for these ultra-wide wheels and tires and the wider track of the car. The coil-over suspension doesn't only provide an individual damping of the roadster but also lowers the two-seater car by some 25 millimeters. Boxster models with PASM system can be updated with the sporty set up TechArt coil over sport suspension.

TechArt also offers engine tuning for the Widebody. The two watercooled six-cylinder boxer engines can be upgraded with the TechArt power kits. They each consist of a sport air filter and newly programmed engine electronics. The result: 15 hp / 11 kW extra power and optimized road performance.


Being world-wide renowned specialists for exclusive interiors, TechArt provides individual full leather trims in all colors and designs. The range reaches from completing the ex-works leather trims up to a completely redesigned cockpit with special sports seats and ergonomically shaped airbag sports steering wheel.

2013 Porsche Sports Cars 918 RSR Race Car

13-year-old WCF member and Porschephile, porschecarreragtmay6, has created some renderings of a Porsche 918 RSR race car. Based on the 918 Spyder concept, the pictures show a hardcore coupe, wearing some classic Porsche liveries, designed to compete in the GT1 class.

2013 Porsche Sports Cars 918 RSR Race Car

Although these renderings were created back in March, shortly after the 918 Spyder's surprise unveiling in Geneva, they provide a potential glimpse of a race spec 918 in the wake of recent reports that Porsche will field the 918 Spyder at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring in 2011.

The 2013 Porsche 918 RSR Race Car comes with 2 electric motors and a 500hp V8 from the “RS Spyder” LMP-2 car. The 918 RSR Race Car will drop the electric motors, but will retain the KERs and 500 hp V8. Since GT1 regulated no more than 600 hp, Porsche may remove air-restrictors from the engine to boost the output to 600hp.

As a refresher, the 918 Spyder concept featured a 368 kW (500 PS / 493 hp) V8 engine and three electric motors with a total of 160 kW (218 PS / 215 hp). Packing a combined 528 kW (718 PS / 708 hp), the Spyder sent power through a PDK dual-clutch gearbox (with an electric boost function) to an electric all-wheel drive system.

The 918 RSR model will race the same competitions as the classical 917 race car. It will drop the electric motors, but will retain the KERS and the 500hp V8. Since the GT1 regulates no more than 600hp, Porsche may remove air-restrictors from the engine to boost the output to 600hp. The "918 RSR" will be able to hit a top speed of 200mph and will make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in than 3.0 seconds.

It will feature a wider track, redesigned front and rear diffusers, as well as a fixed hard-top roof and a huge rear wing. The liveries on these images were created based off of the classic Porsche liveries and designed to compete in the GT1 class.

The Porsche 918 RSR Race Car will top in the 200mph range and will reach 62mph in less than 3.0 seconds, possibly 2.8 seconds. The weight will be around 1,240 kilos, 2,730 lbs.

The weight loss will comes from the loss of the batteries stripped interior and loss of amenities even more extensive use of carbon fiber and a reconstruction of body work.

2010 New Porsche Sports Cars 911 GT3 at The Geneva

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is adding yet another new model to the second generation of the 911 model series: the new GT3 even more powerful, faster, and refined than its predecessor. In developing the most sporting and dynamic road-going 911 with a normal-aspiration power unit, Porsche has applied a wide range of know-how gained in motorsport. Indeed, this is precisely why the 2010 new Porsche 911 GT3 is truly impressive not only on the road, but also on the race track.

2010 Porsche Sports Cars 911 GT3

The 2010 new Porsche 911 GT3 is the latest evolution of an iconic sports car. Embodying the essence of more than 23,000 Porsche racing victories, the 911 GT3 is the ultimate integration of driver and car and arrives in the UK this autumn. The new 911 GT3 is making its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show on 3 March, with Europe-wide sales starting in May.

The Porsche 911 GT3 offers an even higher standard above all in two key areas: performance and driving dynamics. The proven six-cylinder naturally aspirated power unit now develops a maximum output of 435 hp (320 kW), up 20 hp over its predecessor. This results first and foremost from an increase in engine capacity by 200 cc to 3.8-litres and from improved cylinder head gas flow: now not only the intake, but for the first time also the exhaust camshafts, are adjusted by VarioCam.

A further important point is that, through its upgraded power and performance, the flat six 'boxer' engine also offers a significant increase in torque at medium engine speeds, a benefit of particular significance in everyday motoring. Clearly, this also means a further improvement in performance; the new Porsche 911 GT3 accelerates from a standstill to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.1 seconds and reaches 99 mph (160 km/h) in 8.2 seconds. Top speed is 194 mph.

The second emphasis in developing the Porsche 911 GT3 to an even higher standard was to further improve the car's driving dynamics. For the first time, the Porsche 911 GT3 comes with a particularly sporting variant of Porsche Stability Management (PSM), offering the facility to deactivate both Stability Control (SC) and Traction Control (TC) in separate steps. And to give the driver unrestricted, individual control over the driving dynamics of his car, these functions are not reactivated automatically even under the most extreme driving conditions, but only at the touch of a button.

The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) fitted to the 911 GT3 has enabled Porsche engineers to make the springs and anti-roll bars stiffer yet again, thus ensuring even more precise handling in the PASM 'sports' mode. However, the PASM ensures appropriate ride comfort suitable for everyday use when in the 'normal' PASM mode. The Porsche 911 GT3 rides on new, lighter wheels in a racing-inspired design - with a centre locking nut - fitted with ultra-high performance (UHP) tyres. Tyre pressure monitoring is fitted as standard.

Making the car even more suitable for the race track, the new Porsche 911 GT3 will be available with the option of new and highly innovative Porsche Active Drivetrain Mount (PADM) engine mountings. These special engine mounts recognise a particularly sporting, race-like style of driving, making the normally 'elastic' engine mounts harder and particularly resistant. This retains all the motoring comfort of the GT3 in everyday traffic, while on the race track the effect of the mass forces coming from the engine is much reduced, particularly in fast bends and on winding tracks. Yet a further advantage is improved traction when accelerating from a standstill.

Another new feature is the optional lift system for the front axle which is able to increase the ground clearance of the car, at the touch of a button, for driving on bumpy surfaces or steep gradients - for example into an underground garage - by 30 millimetres (approx 1.2 inches).

The Euro base price of the new GT3 is Euro 98,100, in Germany the retail price including value-added tax and specific national features is Euro 116,947. In the USA the GT3 will be at the dealership in October at a price of USD 112,200 (MSRP without taxes).
