The 3,020-pound Porsche GT2 RS gets 620 twin-turbocharged horses from its 3.6-liter engine, making it the most powerful Porsche you can legally put on the roads. That’s 90 more horses pushing 154 pounds less weight than in the previous version, and it gets five percent better Read the rest of this entry »
The German sports car maker Porsche will unveil the most powerful version of the 911 Turbo in March at the Geneva Motor Show. The 2011 911 Turbo S Coupe and Cabriolet will be available in May, 2010 with an MSRP of $159,100 and $170,200 respectively.
The 911 Turbo S comes with an increase of 30 HP, for a total of 530 HP, thanks to a six cylinder boxer boosted by a pair of turbochargers complete with Porsche’s variable turbine geometry that reduces lag and increases performance. As a result the Turbo S will sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.3 seconds and go from 0 to 200 km/h (124 MPH) in only 10.8 seconds and will reach a top speed of 195 MPH.
Wow! More images and press release after the break:
This is a car that debuted earlier this year at the Shanghai Auto Convention, which has been sending shockwaves throughout the European car market for the past year and a half. This is the second four-door venture for the minds at Porsche, but this time they decided to go a little bit more sporty with the sedan idea. Said to cost $89000, the Panamera will also come in the all-wheel drive 4S ($93800) and the infamous Turbo ($132600, which is slightly more than the Cayenne Turbo).
US Sales on the models mentioned will begin in October and just like everything else made by Porsche, these cars will be fast. This is NOT a Honda Accord people, although those are good too. This is German engineering at its finest finally built as a family-style sedan. I’m not gonna talk cars like i know them tht well, but what I do know is that this car is sexyyyyyyyyy!!! Kids would never be embarrassed to get picked up from school in one of these, so if anything do it for the kids!!
