:bowdown: We just got ours in at the dealership. :bowdown:
Let me introduce to you the Porsche Carrera GT :drool: http://www2.us.porsche.com/english/u...n3_384x280.jpg http://www2.us.porsche.com/english/u...n1_384x280.jpg http://www2.us.porsche.com/english/u...n2_384x280.jpg http://www2.us.porsche.com/english/u...n4_384x280.jpg http://www2.us.porsche.com/english/u...n6_384x280.jpg http://www2.us.porsche.com/english/u...n5_384x280.jpg http://www2.us.porsche.com/english/u...n7_384x280.jpg http://www2.us.porsche.com/english/u...n8_384x280.jpg Here are some specs for you "need to know" guys. Copied from Porsche's info. One of the most uncompromising vehicles ever created for the road, this latest generation of Porsche offers breathtaking performance in every respect. From a standing start, it reaches 124 mph (200 km/h) in just 9.9 seconds en route to a top track speed of 205 mph (330 km/h). To achieve that performance, we've applied a powerful V10 engine - developing 605 hp (SAE) - to an unladen weight of just 3,042 lbs (1,380 kg). The main chassis structure - monocoque, windscreen surround and supplemental safety system - is made from carbon-fiber composites with a honeycomb core. The technologies involved are state-of-the-art in Formula One and offer exceptional flexural and torsional strength. To the rear of the monocoque is a highly robust yet lightweight carbon-fiber structure which supports the engine and gearbox unit. This structure - known as the engine carrier - is bolted to the monocoque with which it forms the main stressed members on the car. The resulting chassis is extremely light, yet considerably stronger than the pressed metal shell on a conventional car. The braking system features one of the latest advances in Porsche race engineering: the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). This remarkable technology consists of a lightweight ceramic disc with involute cooling channels and a specially developed composite pad. Each of the front and rear discs has an impressive diameter of 14.96 inches (380-mm). Cross-drilled and internally vented for optimum dispersal of moisture and heat, the finished PCCB disc offers an approximate 50% weight saving over conventional metal equivalents. Since all of that weight is entirely 'unsprung' - i.e., not supported by the car's suspension - the PCCB system delivers immediate benefits in terms of handling, agility and fuel economy. Each disc is gripped by a powerful six-piston caliper with specially formulated composite pads. Engine No. of cylinders 10 Displacement 5.7 liters Maximum power (SAE) 605 hp @ 8,000 rpm Maximum torque 435 lb-ft @ 5,750 rpm Maximum engine speed (revs) 8,400 rpm Compression ratio 12.0 : 1 Transmission Layout Rear-wheel drive Gearbox Six-speed manual Clutch Two-plate ceramic dry clutch (Porsche Ceramic Composite Clutch) Limited-slip differential Multi-plate with locking under power and on overrun Running Gear Front suspension Double wishbones with inboard spring-and-damper units Rear suspension Double wishbones with inboard spring-and-damper units Steering Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering Brake Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) with 14.96 in (380-mm) ceramic discs internally vented and cross-drilled, six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed calipers front and rear Traction control/ABS Traction control with ABD and ASR; ABS 5.7 (four-channel system) Wheels Front: 19 x 9.5 Rear: 20 x 12.5 Tires Front: 265/35 ZR 19 Rear: 335/30 ZR 20 Weights Unladen weight (DIN) 3,042 lbs (1,380 kg) Performance Top track speed 205 mph (330 km/h) 0-60 mph 3.8 secs 0-62 mph 3.9 secs 0-124 mph 9.9 secs 50-75 mph 4.0 secs (in fifth gear) Quarter mile 11.4 secs Fuel economy Not available at time of publishing Dimensions Length 181.61 in (4,613 mm) Width 75.63 in (1,921 mm) Height 45.91 in (1,166 mm) Wheelbase 107.48 in (2,730 mm) Luggage compartment volume (VDA) 2.2 cu ft (63 liters) 72 liters non US markets Tank capacity (refill volume) 24 US gallons (92 liters) Engine Water-cooled, naturally-aspirated V10 with 68-degree angle and four valve heads; engine mid-mounted with longitudinal layout Specific output: 105.5 hp (SAE) per liter Dry-sump lubrication with nine-fold oil pickup for optimum performance under all load conditions Titanium connecting rods for smoother and more immediate engine response VarioCamŽ variable valve control on intake camshafts Electronic engine management (2x Motronic ME7.1.1) Aluminium twin-flow resonance intake manifold On-board diagnostics for monitoring the emission control system Stereo lambda control Transmission Rear-wheel drive Six-speed manual gearbox; transverse layout with transmission oil cooler Limited-slip differential with locking under power and on overrun Two-plate ceramic dry clutch: Porsche Ceramic Composite Clutch (PCCC) Chassis Double wishbones with pushrod actuated spring-and-damper units on front and rear axle Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering Forged magnesium wheels with high-speed Michelin tires (front: 19 x 9.5 with 265/35 ZR 19, rear: 20 x 12.5 with 335/30 ZR 20), central locking system and tire pressure monitoring Body Open-top two-seater layout with two-piece detachable hardtop in carbon fiber Carbon-fiber chassis (consisting of monocoque, windscreen surround and supplemental safety system) Carbon-fiber carrier for engine, gearbox and rear suspension with a honeycomb core Engine carrier bolted to rear of monocoque as second fully stressed member Frameless doors in carbon fiber with integrated side-impact protection Front/rear lids, rear side panels and sill panels in carbon fiber Front and rear aprons in plastic Automatically extending rear wing Underbody panelling with rear diffuser Electrical systems Remote central locking Electric windows with door-seal protection Power release lids Electrically adjusted mirrors with internal heating Single-blade windscreen wiper Safety Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) with 14.96 inches (380-mm) ceramic discs internally vented and cross-drilled, six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed calipers front and rear Traction control with ABD and ASR; ABS 5.7 (four channel system) Driver and passenger airbags, side airbags Bi-xenon lighting system with halogen auxiliary lights and integrated headlight cleaning system LED tail-light technology Anti-theft protection system with infrared interior surveillance Electronic engine immobilizer Comfort Bucket seats in leather with a carbon fiber and Kevlar shell Center console with magnesium surround and raised gear lever Aluminium gear lever with laminated wood gearshift knob Five-piece travel set |

Have you seen the Top Gear episode with that car in it? Just plain jaw dropping. I think it lapped their test course the fastest (1:19 I think).
I can't wait for Bergstrom Porsche of Appleton to open. Shouldn't be too long before our store (Bergstrom Chevy/Caddy/Sabb of Appleton) starts getting Porsches for body work. |
Very nice, my desks all wet I didnt take your advice and put on a drool bib :(
