<p>Here is the latest Porsche 911 GT2 RS. The Porsche 911 GT2 RS has the great carbon-fiver hood with the sleek Porsche 911 style.</p>
<p>It’s  the most hardcore GT2 yet, expected to produce 620 hp via twin turbos  and weigh nearly 200 lbs less than the standard GT2, with a run to 60 a  matter of three seconds and very few tenths. Reports indicate Porsche  will build only 300 GT2 RS models, priced somewhere in the twos. That’s  with five zeros attached, of course. Expect more details from the  Zuffenhausen mothership later this week.</p>

<p>Porsche CEO Michael Macht told reporters Tuesday at the automaker&#8217;s  factory in Leipzig, Germany, where Porsche builds the Cayenne as well  as the new Panamera, that orders are exceeding expectations, but he  didn&#8217;t provide figures.</p>
<p>Porsche recently gave U.S. consumers their first close-up look  of the 2011  Porsche Cayenne, at the New York auto show. Porsche said then that  the North American model range will include four models: the 2011  Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo and Cayenne S Hybrid &#8212; Porsche&#8217;s  first hybrid. The S and Turbo models go on sale in July, with the  Cayenne and Cayenne S Hybrid in showrooms this fall.The Cayenne lineup  made its world debut earlier at the Geneva auto show.</p>
<p>The Cayenne needs a boost. Sales of the model have been dismal in  the past year. In 2009, Porsche sold only 19,696 Cayennes in the U.S.,  compared with its high of 34,693 in 2007, according to <a onclick="s_objectID=&quot;http://www.edmunds.com/_1&quot;;return  this.s_oc?this.s_oc(e):true" href="http://www.edmunds.com/">Edmunds.com.</a> In the first quarter of this year, Porsche sold a mere 1,586 Cayennes,  the lowest number since its launch year of 2009 and a fraction of the  4,035 sold in the first quarter of 2004 &#8211; the vehicle&#8217;s best first  quarter.</p>

<p>Hybrid cars are going to become more prevalent in the coming years, and thats why this Porsche 918 Spyder Concept is just amazing.</p>
<p>Specs:</p>
<ul>
<li>500 horsepower</li>
<li>mid-mounted hybrid V8</li>
<li>Carrera GT fused with a 914 and Jaguar XJ 220</li>
</ul>
<p>Performance does not suffer <em>at all</em> from that ridiculous gas mileage: 0-60 in 3.2 secs. with a top speed of 198 mph and maybe the most important of all, a Ring lap time of under 7:30. Of course you have to take all this with a grain of salt considering this is all just estimated.</p>

<p>Its been reported that Porsche plans on sending a Porsche 911 racing car to both Geneva and the Nurburgring 24 hour race.</p>
<p>The key here is that in the press release from Porsche they stated that &#8220;the focus is not on&#8230; winning the race.&#8221;. Then what is the real point here?</p>
<p>The Porsche 911 GT3 R is a racing car which is supposed to aim at winning every race they enter. However, its like this is just a publicity stunt from Porsche that seems to be a little misguided.</p>
<p>Like all 911s, the hybrid GT3 R sports a horizontally opposed six-cylinder mounted behind, and driving, the rear wheels. Unlike all 911s, however, it has electrically powered front wheels. Two electric motors live underneath the hybrid GT3&#8242;s nose; they are paired with a 40,000-rpm &#8220;electric flywheel power generator&#8221; mounted inside the cockpit. Surprisingly, there is no large battery pack. The hybrid system can be used, at the driver&#8217;s discretion, to provide extra power or fuel efficiency on demand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="socialize-in-content" style="float:left;"></div><p>Its been announced that Porsche is trying to cancel their Manga production contract for the Boxster and Cayman. The new Porsche contract was written up in 2008 and the cancelation seems to have occured because Porsche is being added to the Volkswagen portfolio. Volkswagen has purchased the remains of Karmann, the Boxster and Cayman are now expected be built at the coachbuilder&#8217;s factory in Osnabrueck, Germany.</p>
<p>Magna claims it has already invested a significant amount of money on development to prepare for production. As a result Magna is seeking €400 million in compensation from Porsche. There&#8217;s no word from Stuttgart on its plans to repay Magna, but with VW&#8217;s legal arm exercised and ready to go, the battle is sure to be drawn out over the coming months and years.</p>

Designed as a daily-driver-turned-track-tool, the 987 S underwent a major exterior overhaul, with a detachable CFRP front splitter, fenders, side skirts, carbon fiber exterior mirrors and an adjustable rear spoiler, along with a set of three-piece, central locking 18-inch BBS RS wheels wrapped in Pirelli rubber.</p>
<p>Inside, the stock stereo and air conditioning remain, but a set of Recaro GT3 seats with six-point Schroth harnesses and a roll cage make it ready for a late night assault on Hockenheim.</p>
<p>Somewhat disappointingly, the only modifications to the engine are a Super Sprint Magnum cat-back exhaust and an ECU tune which boosts output to 310 horsepower and brings a top speed of 177 mph. However, XTR isn&#8217;t stopping there &#8212; they&#8217;re working on a twin-turbocharged version that will reportedly put out around 850 hp when it arrives next spring.</p>
