Porsche Cayman S Black Edition

Porsche has recently upgraded their lineup with the addition of the Cayman S Black Edition. This is a car with a limited production of 500 cars, costing 67,807 euros.

A 3.4 liter six-cylinder boxer engine is under the hood, with the power output increased by 10hp to 330hp at 7,400rpm, an additional 200rpm. The maximum torque remains unchanged at 370 Newton meters at 4,750rpm.

19 inch wheels are inserted on the vehicle with 235/35 ZR 19s on the front axle and 265/35 ZR 19s on the rear axle. Also, Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights and LED daytime running lights have been added. To complete to the fanciness, the door entry guards are marked with the lettering “Black Edition” made of stainless steel; the glove compartment lid has a badge stating the limited edition status. Porsche Communication Management (PCM) is also integrated in the interior.

With the six-gear manual transmission gearbox, the Cayman can reach 60mph in 5.1 seconds, 5 with the optional Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) gearbox, and 4.8 seconds if the Launch Control is activated on the Sport Chrono package, available as an option. 279km/h with the manual transmission and 277km/h with the PDK are the car's top speeds.

Leaked Pics of Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Limited Edition

Two photos of the Porsche 911 GT RS 4.0 Limited Edition have been leaked via TeamSpeed.com. The photos show the front and side of the not yet released car.

What we know now is that the car will have a wider body, made of mostly carbon fiber. New paint jobs will be applied to the exterior, ones we have never seen on the GT3 itself before. Ceramic brakes will also be inserted. Weight should be the same as the GT3 RS Mk2. A newly developed aerodynamic package, a two-tone interior setup and some suspension tweaks will also be added.

The car should be powered by 4.0 liter engine reving an estimated 8,500rpm. This engine will probably be coupled to a manual six-speed gearbox, the only of it's kind on the option list.

The car will sell with a price tag of about $ 185,000. If you include the carbon fiber package it will cross the $ 200,000 boundary. The limited edition will be delivered to the US in August and September. But, the official release will probably be in the upcoming weeks.

Top speed is hit at 282 km/h (175mph), but with PDK, you get 28o km/h (174mph) as your maximum. As you might have guessed, the main focus of this car was to reduce weight.

Germany's Future; PART 1

Part 1; Porsche

In the past year, German car companies Porsche, Audi and BMW have came up with three cars that will change he way we think, design and engineer cars, forever. All three hybrids have electric engines, and can still be considered as true sports cars. I'm sure you will not be surprised you hear the mystery men's names. Porsche 918 Spyder, BMW Vision and Audi E-Tron.

The Porsche 918 Spyder is probably the most exotic, most exclusive and beautiful of the three. Porsche surprised the automobile world in Geneva after revealing the car. It's the next Carrera GT, but Porsche has magnificently kept the car as green as possible. The car's 8-cylinder 3.4liter engine (500hp) is neighbors with an electric motor that produces 218hp (160kW). The car also consumes only 3 liters per 100 km and only 70 g of C02 emissions. Porsche has integrated four driving modes into the car. The first is called E-Drive and make the car go 25 km only using electricity. The second is Hybrid, which helps the vehicle use it's electric motors to lower carbonates. Now for performance. 0-100 km-h in 3.2 seconds. Top Speed; 320km-h. Yeah, it's a super-sports-hybrid car alright!

Finally, to complete the aerodynamic package, we have the rear bumper with the Mark II LED fitment, the aero deck lid and spoiler. So that's all we know about the V-RT, but what can we expect. A design with wicked aerodynamics, or a speed machine, or even a car with a huge engine. Well, we will have to just wait...

2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet Rendered

Teamspeed member Wild-Speed has already came up with some renderings for the future 2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet. He used design specs from spyshots, patents and the 918 spyder. here is what he says about his design:

''As you can see the lights will be much like the ones used on the 918. The wing is much like the one on the Panamera. It is still not really clear if this car will get a folding hardtop. The patents, the bigger boot and taller wheelbase could be reasons to say that it will. It will have to be a very innovative roof though. We do not want it to get much heavier than it is.''

2011 Porsche 911 Speedster Rendered

We will see a new Porsche 911 Speedster before the end of this year. The car will be limited to 100 examples while colours will be limited to white or blue initially but it seems that Porsche will also “colour to sample”. A member at Teamspeed rendered the car and gives us a pretty good look at what it will look like. Enjoy!

2011 Porsche 997 GT2 RS Official!

Porsche revealed this week the most powerful of their cars. What is it called; the 997 GT2 RS. And you may think that the car is pretty much similar to the GT3 RS, but both cars have quite the differences.

First of all, the car was spied, then preview photos were found on the Internet. But we now have the real specs and photos. The car features a 3.6 liter 6-cylinder boxer engine capable of producing 620 horsepower; the most a Porsche has ever been able to do. This engine is linked to a 6-speed manual transmission gearbox. The car has improved since the previous GT2 model. The German Automaker has increased the horsepower by 90hp and has reduced the kerb-weight by 70kg This means that the new 997 has a very good power to weight ratio of just 2.21kg. Porsche has set new tires on the car that measure 245/35 ZR 19 at the front and 325/30 ZR 19 at the rear. Other options like the Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management (PASM), anti-roll bars, specific engine mounts and recalibrated Porsche Stability Management (PSM) make this Porsche very fun to drive. Performance wise, the car has a capable top speed of 330km/h (205mph) and reaches 100km/h (62mph) in 3.4 seconds. The car goes around the Nordschleife racetrack in just 7 minutes and 18 seconds. Well, that's all today for the 997 GT2 RS. But we do have a few more things to tell you. The car will have a limited production of only 500 cars. The car will get to the USA by October of 2010 and will be selling for $245,000. While in Europe, we could expect it in September for a price of €190,000 at today's exchange rates. Finally, the 2011 Porsche 997 GT2 RS will make its world debut on August 25th 2010 at the Moscow Auto Show.
