This is for all you Porsche Lovers!

[GatorS14]

they kinda look like a super mr2 spyder

definately bad@$$

[Snoboarder793]

haha wow they do but i think its more like mr2 spyders look like them i dunno im crazytalkin.!

[Nismo_Freak]

The cars have insane-o performance.

[toki]

Porsche still doesn't know whats up. They are supposed to take a civic chasis and make it RWD, give it a body kit and some spoilers, then give it 1400 N/A HP...THAT would be cool!

hah no.

[Megaseth]

i think Nissans next big car should be something that looks like a mini 240HB, RWD, the QR with some fixed stuff, making around 200 n/a HP. then give it a body kit and some spoilers. not as cool as your Porsche Civic, but close....somewhat...

[Tino]

I would so do them in the tail pipe

you like that sort of thing don't you.

(chances he'll reply something about my mother)

[UncleBen]

Um, that looks alot like Porsche's new production car, the Carrera GT. I think that is what it is called. Got a v-10, mid-mounted I think, insanely fast, yea.

[Megaseth]

yep, thats what it is. carbon stuff through out the car, like 215mph, and wicked cool suspension.

[zinkie13]

personally i would go for the Bugatti Veyron with a W16 engine 1001 hp 1001 torque....254 MPH

[Snoboarder793]

hell yea represent! the veyron is the best car ever made.

[Ricer240sx]

can't forget to mention the quad-turbos when talking about the Bugatti

[SWIFT_DRIFT]

Well let's see the Carrera GT is an NA v-10...compared to a w-16 quad turbo. The GT's top speed is something like 205 drag limited, but the car is running a 2 piece all carbon fibre frame and carbon body panels (i think). Not to mention the biggest brakes ever put on a production car, the GT is supposed to challenge and break all stopping records. We'll see. But either way if I could afford a Carrera GT, I would definitely buy it.

[Megaseth]

yeah, it wasnt meant for a top speed record, but rather a handling and stopping record. the car is just amazing. someone should find a llink with a picture of the rear suspension. maybe i'll look for one.

[zinkie13]

Hey! I have an even better IDEA....Skip getting the the Porsche...Buy a 1996 Supra....or a Skyline or something put 1/4 the money into it that you would spend on the porsche and have a car with 1500 HP!

[nomuken]

those pics suck

here's the real hi-res sh1t:http://www.ferfolia.net/james/porsches/large/

Yes, but this car is not aimed at that market at all. More novelty than anything, plus I would think that a 1500hp GTR/Supra would not be very streetable and have an extremely short powerband. But yes it would be cheaper

[zinkie13]

Yeah! and it would be crazy fun! haha

[Repo Man]

the rear is kind of ugly.

That's ok, because that's all you would see of that car. And not for long.

Porsche is actually putting 1500 of those into production. Base price? $410,000. Faster than the Enzo too.

Evo issue #491, July '03 compared numbers as follows:

Carrera GT price: EUR 461,058 (you do the conversion)

Carrera GT: 0-62mph in 3.9sec, 205mphEnzo: 0-62mph in 3.65sec, 218mph

"on paper, in a straight line, the Carrera GT is neither quicker nor faster than the Enzo."

...we all know that Porsche has always been about a total package driving experience, with an emphasis on handling dynamics....making what some would call the a true "driver's car"...not a drag racer.

Why the Carrera GT is a racing car for the road:1. Wheels: The center-locking wheels are magnesium. 25% lighter than conventional aluminum alloy wheels, and significantly stronger, too.2. Suspension: The push-rod suspension is almost identical to that used on the 1998 Le Mans winning 911 GT1. Wishbones are forged aluminum, push-rods are stainless steel.3. Engine layout: Dry sump, 169mm diameter ceramic composite clutch and all-new transverse six speed manual transmission allows the V10 engine to be placed very low in the car--lower than would be possible with a boxer engine--and keeps the wheelbase as short as possible. Engine is mounted to the unique carbon reinforced plastic cradle frame which uses an aluminum honeycomb core.4. Engine: Originally developed for the LMP2000 Le Mans car, the 68degree V10 displaces 5.7 liters; developes 612bhp at 8000rpm and 435lb/ft at 5750rpm. The center of the forged steel crank is just 98.5mm from the bottom of the engine, titanium conrods cope with high revs and intake valves feature Variocam valiable timing; Engine meets '05 emission regs.(UK regs?)5. Brakes: Carrera GT brakes are a development of the ceramic carbon fiber composite units used in the GT2. Each vented and cross drilled 380mm rotor takes one week to make. 50% lighter than conventional rotors, they are also longer lasting and offer better feel and performance at high temperatures. All-new six pot aluminum monobloc calipers are fitted all around.

"The Carrera GT is the first road car to have it's chassis and engine and transmission mount made entirely from carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP).....The Carrera GT chassis weighs 100KG and is made of 1000 pieces each taking a week to hand-build." --EVOmagazine July'03
