Panamera Moby Dick by Edo Competition

If there was ever an appropriate name for an over-juiced tuner model it's 'Moby Dick'.

German tuner Edo Competition touts the Panamera Moby Dick as the most powerful Panamera Turbo around, and there is no evidence to doubt that.

The Moby Dick comes in a 750 PS (740 bhp / 552 kW) with the twin-turbo V8 dialed up 50 percent from its standard 500 PS (493 bhp / 368 kW). 0 to 100 km/h acceleration clocks in at under 4 seconds and top speed, depending on tires, can reach 340 km/h (211 mph).

The Ahlen (Westphalia), Germany-based tuner also provides a revised exhaust system with quad stainless steel exhaust pipes and butterfly valves fitted into a carbon rear diffuser. Edo Competition also provides a lowering module and 22-inch wheels.

An aerodynamics package from Mansory is also part of this unique Moby Dick, installed upon customer request.

For the inside, Edo Competition offers a highly-personalized finish with customers choosing their own leather and fabrics and trims in fine wood, lacquer, metal or carbon fiber.

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).

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 Singer Porsche 911

We started stained conception Singer 911 class at the airstreams near Monterey at Laguna Seca history. By far, they hardly appeared as though different from the classic Porsche 911, just take a closer look reveals more fitting, more. We are united crowded with Singer and a spare car in Los Angeles as a shooting and composed wonder of creativity, attention to detail and remain about the big things automatically. American singer assured that they hoped to anatomy version outputs, but with a price target of just below $ 200,000, we were concerned that the concept may be alone nonpareil always gathered.

Thankfully, it turns out, in a place that at least one premium car enthusiast who has several awards as, hand-built vintage 911th with carbon fiber bodywork, interior custom modern and Porsche flat-six power. Singer has achieved first production close to 911 calendar weeks late and delivered to new owners good luck in their proficiency in Sunland, CA on collecting diminished by the people who helped make bechance car.

The car finished in Singer’s disposal together valium cats by obtaining the Green and Terra Cotta striping and hardware package optioned the 410-horsepower 3.82-liter flat-six, Brembo brake package, Bilstein coilover suspension, wheels RSR, Heuer chronograph hours, and many inducts leatherweave again. Automatically building a second output after passing began early this month with a third in October. Automatic cat valium agree well on average and orange models capture the lagoon Seca in our high-res gallery in the lower places.

2012 Porsche Cayman R

One year after unveiling the stripped-down, purist-oriented Boxster Spyder at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show, Porsche is back in L.A. again with its newest mid-engined offering – the Cayman R.

Essentially a more extreme version of the Cayman S, the Cayman R loses 121 pounds and gains 10 horsepower. Curb weight is down to a manufacturer-claimed 2849 pounds, while the 3.4-liter flat-six engine boasts 330 horsepower, good for a power-to-weight ratio of 8.5:1. The result is a 0-60 mph sprint that is claimed to take just 4.4 seconds with the optional PDK dual-clutch gearbox and 4.7 seconds for those who still prefer the involvement of a conventional manual transmission. Those opting for the latter will see an additional mph at the top end, with a maximum speed of 175 mph – 4 mph more than the current Cayman S.

To make the Cayman R feel a little more at home on the track, a limited-slip differential is added (an item also introduced to the Boxster Spyder) and a lower, stiffer sports suspension is fitted. The front and rear spoilers from the factory Cayman Aerokit are lended to the R version, and unique 19-inch wheels sit at all four corners.
The Cayman R’s diet involved several old Porsche tricks – namely, ditching unnecessary components (those “not associated with driving performance,” as Porsche puts it) and substituting lightweight materials in the place of heavier ones. In the process, the Cayman R loses its air conditioning and stereo systems, gets a 2.6-gallon-smaller fuel tank, trades the standard steel door skins for aluminum units with simpler 911 GT3 RS interior panels, and gains carbon-fiber-backed seats.

Further cosmetic revisions include black-framed halogen headlights, contrasting side mirrors, and “Porsche” side stripes in the vein of the Boxster Spyder, GT3 RS and classic Carrera 2.7 RS. The Cayman R will hit showrooms as a 2012 model in February 2011 with a U.S. price of $66,300. It is currently unclear whether that price includes standard destination fees.

Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Racing Coupe rumors in Dekroit

The German automaker has made a science out of making its racing division profitable. Porsche first and foremost provides factory-built racing machines to privateer customers. That’s how the 911 dominates GT racing grids around the world with such variants as the recently unveiled GT3 RSR. And if the latest reports from Germany are anything to go on, Porsche could be preparing a new racer at the rapidly approaching Detroit Auto Show.

We already know that Porsche plans to debut a new model at the rapidly approaching North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit next week, but the problem is that the German sports car maker is keeping its cards close to its chest about the type of vehicle it will unveil.

The reports further suggest that the car will be a two-seater concept coupe featuring a 600-horsepower V8. We’ll remind you that the 918 Spyder, which was recently approved for a limited production run, gets a 500HP 3.4 liter V8 electro-enhanced by way of motors that add another 160 kW (218 hp).
