Let me introduce to you the
Porsche Carrera GT :drool:
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.
