Incrível acidente na Porsche Cup em Imola

Acidente envolvendo Marco Mapelli em imola, ele até tentou desviar, mas não deu muito certo e acabou sendo arremessado em direção do moro. O mais incrível neste acidente é que mesmo depois de varias capotagens o piloto sai andando de seu carro destruído. Se fosse comigo no mínimo estaria bem tonto.

Fotos e vídeo do Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

A Porsche divulgou o novo modelo do 911 GT3 RS, o 911 GT3 RS 4.0 que deve ser o modelo de despedida do 911.

O 911 GT3 RS 4.0 será uma serie limitada em 600 unidades. Ele vem com motor seis cilindros de 4 litros e 500cv (o 911 GT3 RS tem motor 3.8 de 450cv).

Com apenas 1360 kg ele vai de 0 a 100 km/h em 3,9 segundos, e atinge os 200 km/h em menos de 12 segundos.

Na parte externa ele se destaca pela utilização de fibra de carbono, novas rodas de liga, vidros de plástico nas janelas traseiras e um grande aerofólio.

Veja as fotos e vídeo do 911 GT3 RS 4.0:




Porsche Panamera S

A Porsche revela imagens do Panamera S que fará sua primeira aparição no Salão de Nova York.

Ele continua com o mesmo motor o 4.8 V8 do Turbo, mas com mudanças nas 2 turbinas e também modificações no sistema de controle do motor que o deixam com 550 cv. E mesmo com tudo isso sua autonomia ainda fica com a média de 9,7 km/l.

O Panamera S vai de 0 a 100 km/h em 3,8 segundos chegando a máxima de 306 km/h.


Porsche Cajun confirmado

A Porsche confirmou oficialmente a fabricação do Cajun, na linha da Porche ele fica abaixo do Cayenne. O Cajun será produzido em Leipzig, na Alemanha, junto com o Cayenne e o Panamera.

O Porsche Cajun tem previsão de lançamento em 2012. E provavelmente sua versão S terá o novo motor 3.0 TFSi a gasolina da Audi

Gemballa Porsche Carrera GT Mirage GT White and Gold Edition

porsche-carrera-gt-mirage-gt-white-gold-edition-frontThe Mirage GT White and Gold Edition is the latest work from the car tuning company Gemballa, and the car is their model based on the Porsche Carrera GT. Take the Porsche 980 Carrera GT, Gemballa modifies the exterior with an aerodynamic body kit, custom paint job gold, gold and carbon fiber accents.

porsche-carrera-gt-mirage-gt-white-gold-edition-side In the shop car tuning receive performance upgrades to boost the number to 670 hp engine, with a peak speed of 335 km / h. At the track was able to run 0-100 km / h in just 3.7 seconds, and for curves Gemballa install a complete suspension package for the GT Porsche Carrera Mirage GT White and Gold Edition. New suspension kit including hydraulic height adjustable coilovers that drastically lower the vehicle while improving handling.

Porsche 911 Turbo S unveiled with 530 HP of goodness

F1 Live Streaming

The wunderkinds in Wiessach have wrought a new head of the family in the form of the 2011 911 Turbo S, the first 911 S model in five years and the first for the 997. In Porsche parlance, the S suffix generally means more power and better handling, and this car appears ready to live up to the badge.

As we surmised last August, the twin-turbo flat-six is boosted to 530 horsepower, though it sips fuel at the same rate as the "base" Turbo's with its 500-horsepower engine. All that power and 516 pound-feet of torque are transferred to all four wheels – now 19 inches in diameter with center locking nuts – through Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual clutch gearbox, and a torque vectoring system helps point the car directly where the driver wants it. 0-62 miles per hour should arrive in 3.3 seconds and top speed is pegged at 196 mph. For comparison's sake, the almighty 911 GT2 makes the same amount of horsepower (530), is slower to 62 mph at 3.7 seconds, but beats the new 911 S at the top end with a 204-mph terminal velocity.

Both fixed and folding roof versions of the Turbo S will officially debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month and go on sale in Europe in May. The coupe will cost €173,241 including 19 percent VAT (the actual base price is €145,400), while the Cabriolet goes €184,546, also including the 19 percent VAT (base price €154,900). U.S. market models should follow soon after.

RUF Developing Electric Test Vehicles Based on the Porsche 911 Carrera


Porsche tuner RUF Automobile is developing ten electric vehicles with three different powertrains based on the 911 Carrera (997), which will be put to the test in “real life situations”. The prototypes are being manufactured in cooperation with German electronics giant Siemens AG and are going to be presented in the first half of 2011. The three eRUF variants feature a single motor concept, twin motor concept with 2-speed gearbox and twin motor concept with torque vectoring.

The first powertrain comprises a 180 kW (241HP) electric motor, 29 kWh lithium-ion battery and standard Porsche gearbox used for speed reduction. The setup offers an estimated driving range of 150 km (93 miles) and decent performance: 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7 seconds and a top speed of 220 km/h (137 mph).

The prototypes using the twin motor concept are even faster, reaching 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 5 seconds, while also maxing out at 220 km/h or 137 mph. Two synchronous electric motors deliver 250 kW (335HP) and are coupled to a 2-speed automatic transmission. The more potent battery pack (36,6 kWh) extends the driving range to 200 km (124 mph).

Last but not least, the third variant uses the same twin motor setup, while adding torque vectoring into the mix as well. Engineers mounted two separate gearboxes into the car, each powering a rear wheel. Acceleration and driving range are the same, however estimated top speed decreases to about 180 km/h (112 mph).

The field test are expected to provide important data on the different battery and powertrain setups, which will be handed over to the German Federal Ministry of the Environment, also involved in the project.
