Next week, during the Paris Salon de l'Automobile (Mondial de l'Automobile for Francophiles), Porsche will pull the veil that covers their new models, some sports that are more authentic review of redesign.

The minority always desirable but Porsche 911 Targa will be offered exclusively with four-wheel-drive variant and its respective S. In the latter case, its engine generates 355 hp, while the standard model will have to settle for a block of "only" 325 horses. Apart from its roof, one of his personal traits bodywork will be a 44 mm wider at the rear.

In addition, Porsche also exhibited version of the gloriously brutal GT3 RS. This Porsche 911 ready for the races will benefit from a clearly racing equipment, although the star is its engine, a 3.6 6-cylinder boxer and 415 horses capable of climbing up the 8,400 laps before the rev limiter put the brakes on madness.

Porsche calls for review more than 18,000 units of the model 911

Porsche has called for revision to 18,627 units of its Porsche 911 model to solve a problem with the exhaust pipe, specifically with solder that connects the tail to exhaust pipe itself. There is no risk to drivers, but the union could break and cause noise or even drop the piece.

The cars produced between April 20, 2004 and October 1, 2005 may be affected by this problem and asking their owners to bring them to dealers to proceed with repairs, according to Porsche, barely takes 25 minutes.

So far only 30 drivers have been affected by this problem.

Update the Porsche 911 for 2008

The Porsche 911 is the icon of sports cars, so when Stuttgart announced an amendment on it, however small, is headlines. Recent reports indicate that Porsche 911 of 2008 will have some minor changes regarding the current configuration which has been running for four years on the market.

We should not expect anything drastic, because the design of the Porsche 911 has fallen into the category of evolution rather than revolution in, in fact it is likely that only connoisseurs and fans noticed small differences. So as you will see a larger air intake on the front and new taillights. Since Porsche has been fussy when it comes to hand to put the well-known appearance of the model, they seem to be the only changes visible on the outside.

A mechanical level there will also be some novelties. Derived from technology used in the latest Cayenne, new direct injection engines reach the sport. Porsche said that this will improve fuel economy between 10 to 15% and power between 5 to 25 horsepower depending on the model. The big announcement is the replacement of the box Tiptronic automatic transmission by a double-clutch, similar to that used by their cousins of the Volkswagen Group. That should help reduce the gap between the versions with and without clutch, bringing an increase in sales for versions Automatic / Tiptronic / DSG compared to their counterparts with manual box.

With all these changes, it will be new Carreras, convertible, Targa, Turbo, GT3s and demos.

Porsche calls for revision to the 911 GT3 RS and GT3

No, Porsche is not immune to the defects that normally plague cars from other manufacturers much larger. What Car? tells us that 43 units and Porsche 911 GT3 RS versions suffer from a problem with seatbelts. The mechanism for desabrochar belts optional six-pointed apparently not working as it should, and concerned that in the event of an accident, the occupants could escape only by cutting the vehicle harnesses, something extremely difficult.

Porsche will contact owners of affected sports to be at a date to review them. Unfortunately there is no further information, but we assume that Porsche will take all precautions so that no more problems and solve existing ones in line. After all is not that the GT3 is a lot of sports, and their owners will want to keep the most faithful to the mark as possible.

This means that the additional power Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe can reach a maximum speed of 300 km / h. The new seven-gear transmission KDP improves acceleration, thus leading to Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds, two tenths faster than a box of six mechanical speeds. This same box dual clutch also reduces consumption, which again taking as an example Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, lies in the range of 9.8 litres/100 km, with CO2 emissions by 15% lower.

Those wanting to go even faster may decide to combine the transmission KDP with the Sport Chrono Plus with launch control, a system that helps the model cut to two tenths extra time aceleració (leaving from 0 to 100 in 4.3 seconds).

TechArt Porsche 911 Turbo will premiere at the Essen Hall

The TechArt 911 Turbo, the work of "tuners" business TechArt, will make its debut next month in the Hall of Essen. The vehicle used in 3.6 liter boxer engine with an output of 580 horses, this is an improvement of 100 horses over the standard version of the 997 Turbo. Such a leap in power was achieved through the incorporation of two turbo, air filters and a sport exhaust system made of stainless steel that includes new collectors and catalysts for high performance. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Porsche 911 was recalibrated to achieve the best possible performance.

The torque (torque) is 700 Nm at 4,850 rpm, can go from 0 to 100 in 3.46 seconds and reach a maximum of 339 km / h. The transmission is mechanical six-speed changes with shorter and cooling oil. The traction, permanent all four wheels.

The aerodynamics were improved in a wind tunnel, thereby reducing the resistance by 4%. The vertical thrust won thanks to added a front wing, while in the rear introduced a wing and a diffuser. The suspension of TechArt Porsche 911 Turbo is electronically adjustable in up to 25 mm in height (normal mode and Sport) and the tires are 20 inches.

Porsche 911 suspended production temporarily by an explosion

Although it has not so far been realized that the time will stop the assembly line of Porsche 911, Porsche estimates that over the next two or three days may resume the manufacture of this legendary sports.

Apparently, a gas explosion registered at the Zuffenhausen factory has been the cause. Despite the damage that only affect the paint shop, as the signature is still early to quantify the economic damage. Two of the employees of the German company were injured slightly.

In the coming days Porsche will try to recover the time lost in repairing facilities by adding a new shift on Saturdays. The production of the Cayenne, in Leipzig and the Boxster and Cayman (Finland) will not be affected.

Geneva Motor Show: Porsche 911 Turbo

For those who think that there is a good replacement for the manual transmission, Porsche is once again making changes extremists think the manual again. The new transmission Tiptronic S five-speed automatic helps propel the vehicle at 100 kph in 3.4 seconds, 0.3 seconds faster than the six-speed manual transmission. Because of the close relationship between Stuttgart and the Volkswagen group, we were surprised not to see a version of DSG double clutch with change at the wheel making their appearance.

Spy Photos: Porsche 911 Turbo

The new Porsche 911 Turbo totally naked has been surprised and devoid of camouflage on the road. You can not add much to the photographs, just in case that the redesign of the bottom of the vehicle has been designed to improve their aerodynamic performance.

The new sports will be put up for sale in spring and may assume a powerful mechanical system that integrates a comprehensive intelligent and a traction engine that yields 460 hp and 624 Nm of torque.

The price of the new Porsche 911 Turbo around 130,000 euros / dollars.

Porsche launches the website of 911

The Masterpiece known for Porsche 911 has a new page where you can find their full specifications, the history of the automobile and a comprehensive and yet simple descriptions of the technology that is under its corrugated metal skin. Oh, and let us have no talk of the gallery ... just assure you that you are near the bib.

9FF plays with the new Porsche 911 Turbo

9FF, known for creating some of the fastest Porsches of the world, thinks opening the bottle of essences with the new Porsche 997 Turbo. After entering through the door with his big Porsche 996 GT2 (which briefly occupied the throne of the world's fastest car before they arrived Koenigsegg and Bugatti), 9FF drew your attention to the attractive but less radical Cayman S, which added 125 horses. But with the debut of the new Porsche 997 Turbo, was a matter of time before their technicians came running to their tool boxes to tighten the nuts based on well, creating a machine geared to devour the road, and not merely to surprise passers TechArt as the Porsche 997 Turbo.

Take a car already exceptional and turn it into a machine even faster is not an easy task (or the result is suitable for all drivers), but was 9FF has managed to provide three different preparations capable of stopping the heart over a porschista. The first of these air filters replaced by new ones, changing catalysts and reprogram the PBX, to achieve an output of 535 horses, thanks to which gets the 0 to 100 in about 3.7 seconds and 1.2 seconds cuts to 0 to 200 km / h. The second phase of preparation and mete hand directly into the engine, among other things changing the camshafts. The yield is reached in 560 horses. Finally, drivers can choose a more demanding for a 997 that adds on previous versions of two new peat and huge Intercoolers aluminum, which pumped 640 horses and makes the 0 to 100 in about 3.5 seconds.

We have no price, but once again, if you have to ask for them possibly fall outside of your fingertips.

Porsche 911 improves with direct injection and dual-clutch box

Porsche is preperando an update for its 911 range and improvements will be quite substantial, at least under the bodywork. In addition to the revised optical groups, CAR magazine reports that Porsche will change the boxer engine of 3.6 litres per one 3.8 liter direct injection. The technology, which was first used in Cayenne 2007, increased horsepower and torque in the SUV between 10 and 15%, so we expect a profit similar to the iconic German model.

Even more impressive, but not completely unexpected, is the rumor that Porsche integrated into the Porsche 911 its first dual-clutch transmission or Porsche Doppel Kupplung (KDP). This transmission will be available in Porsche 911 shortly after its official launch, which will take place in mid-year. It is still unknown whether other models will benefit from the KDP or box like this will be implemented in models with traction comprehensive permanent. Inside the model is basically known, but there will be improvements in the center console and integrated GPS navigation system.

Externally, the new Targa displays of the latest cosmetic changes implemented in the range Porsche 911, emphasizing, of course, because of their high glass ceiling of 1.54 square meters. The part incorporates a bumper electric slide to increase the privacy of their occupants. As for the sunroof, is stored under the moon back, and it needs to collected seven seconds.

The range mechanics is exactly the same as in the rest of the models. We are talking about a 3.6 L engine from 345 hp in the base model and a 3.8 L 385 hp version for the Porsche 911 Targa 4S. The benefits of the new 911 Targa are as high as one might expect: 284 mph maximum speed and an acceleration of 0 to 100 set at 5.2 seconds using the six-speed manual shift. The Porsche 911 Targa 4S, meanwhile, reached 297 km / h and needs 4.9 seconds to reach 100 km / h. Equipped with the new gearbox Doppelkupplung Porsche, its acceleration values are reduced to 5.0 and 4.7 seconds respectively.

Agárrate the quiff - 9FF introduced the Porsche 911 Turbo TRC 91

We can not imagine what it must feel to have 780 horses by the reins and nothing on his head, but 9FF not know what it is fear, and have created perhaps the world's fastest convertible. The German coach wants to seduce her with Porsche 911 TRC 91 to customers more extreme, and this has taken the brilliant 997 Turbo Cabriolet as a basis for its latest creation, expanding its engine from 3.6 to 4 liters and adjusting to the last nut to to achieve the 392 km / h.

The best thing about 91 is that its TRC 4.0 engine is actually a less tight version of the model that assembles the fixed roof, a mechanical barbarity of 910 Nm many horses and other grazing than 100 km / h in just 3.1 seconds. It is crazy, but it might be all well.

Video: A Porsche 911 was "thrilled"

It is not rare that the mere presence of a Porsche encourage some of our senses, being difficult to not react excelsa mixture of design, sound and textures. What we did not know was that Porsche also react to certain stimuli, but of course, in this case we can not blame him.

Spy Photo: Porsche 911 GT2 Type 997

We had already published information on this car a couple of months ago, but now World Car Fans has new photos of 997 GT2 running around with "ring" of Nürburgring. Probably, this will be the first Porsche 911 production exceeding 320 km / h and that according to Porsche, this car does not officially exist.

With the 997 Turbo reaching an output of 480 hp, GT2 is expected to total at least 500 horsepower. Although it is said that the final figure will be between 520 to 540 hp. While closely resembles the Turbo, the Porsche 911 GT2 has its own details, such as the absence of pockets of fog and a large rear spoiler. If we lower the weight and changing permanently to pull back, that sports should become another superPorsche. According to the boys of World Car Fans, is the sound emitted by this bolide that what separates the other Porsche 911. According to them, Porsche 911 GT2 could be heard from nearly half the circuit. That definitely is music to our ears.

Perhaps Jaguar is preparing to change hands soon, but while in England are to the idea that the future lies between the arms of Tata (at least not turn things), have begun to circulate rumors about A new Supercar much more aggressive than the XK.

If you ask what the image above belongs to the F-Type, a concept roadster introduced between applause in the Hall of Detroit in 2000. In due course and seeing the excellent reception they had, Ford was raised to authorize its production, but poor sales of the company eventually bury him. Now, almost selling Tata approved, Jaguar seems to be interested in resurrecting the project, putting in its look at the Porsche 911.

The Porsche 911 voted best high-performance car by Auto Express

The British magazine Auto Express has appointed Porsche 911 best high performance car of all time from a group consisting of 60 cars produced in the past 50 years. The publication states that the latest version produced from 2000 to 2005 is "the result of a thorough and continuous development since the launch of the first model in 1963." After weighing the selection for a while we rightly magazine in its choice of Porsche 911. No car is manufactured and continuously improved over time but has retained the same identity and benefits that this Porsche, and somehow the engineers of the brand continues to improve with each new revision. The other five finalists were the Lotus Seven of 1950-59, the Jaguar E-Type 1960-69, the Lotus Esprit 1970-79, the Ford Sierra Cosworth 1980-89 and 1990-99 McLaren F1. The McLaren also would have been a great choice, but their low production cost and make it more desorbitado in a large footnote in the history of high-performance cars before a player consolidated in the segment that has passed over time.

New Porsche 911 Targa

Porsche just show the first images of the new Porsche 911 Targa, a model for many years has been very well received, thanks to large panoramic glass roof-sliding earlier, the Porsche 911 Targa wore removable panels.

With an aesthetic side slightly changed regarding the Porsche 911 Coupe, with the rear side windows and a newly designed banda chrome that runs the contour of the car. In general, this Porsche 997 does not differ much from Porsche 996.

Arrive at year end to major world markets, although at first only be sold in four-wheel drive version, with a cast that can vary between 5 and 40% of a shaft to another.

Therefore, new models are the Porsche 911 Targa 4 and Porsche 911 Targa 4 S. Returning to the roof, you can drive up and maneuver of opening and closing needed only seven seconds. The new system that moves the roof is now 1.9 kilos lighter than the previous generation and consists of two electric motors. He also has worked hard in the aspect of sound, improved materials, and glue together to reduce the sound.

Improving the unbeatable: New KW suspensions for the Porsche 911 GT3

The new Porsche 911 GT3 is probably the best version of the iconic coupe has ever come out of Stuttgart. Components lightweight, very powerful and a suspension of Porsche 911 luxury make this a perfect blend that may well planted on the tracks or in the streets. Despite this, KW thinks that there is still room for improvement.

These magicians of the suspension, developed three configurations coilovers to be used in conjunction with the Porsche model: V1, V2 and V3. Ok, nothing original names, but never mind. The suspension V1 can adjust the height of Porsche 911 GT3 creating a balance between sport driving, comfort and safety. The V2 is ideal for those who want a totally driving sports, but with the freedom to add some changes to the configuration to be left entirely to their liking. The V3 by his side allows lowering the height of GT3 in up to 20 mm and allows more adjustments to the V2, and may even customized pressure and rebound. In short, the ideal solution for the more technically demanding.

Spy Photos: Porsche 911 2009

A Porsche is a Porsche, so nor should we expect a revolutionary design. There are only a few changes to the iconic front, so keep it fresh and maintain the flow of tickets to Stuttgart. Anyway you can see new outbreaks front Xenon HID, which are placed above the big air intakes. Also integrated into the pockets you can see lights viraje.Una subtle line runs through the bottom of Porsche 911, leaving from the front spoiler and finishing back in defense, which underwent a redesign and incorporates two LED groups.

Also expected to geniecillos Porsche metan their hands in designing the new interior. As previously anticipated, changes to the mechanics would also be in the plans. The direct injection technology of the Cayenne should reach the rank of Porsche 911, and we also expect to see in this sport, the first application of the new DSG transmission of the mark. Not for nothing Porsche is part of the family Audi / BMW, the first to have dual clutch boxes.

Video: Porsche 911 GT3 RS at Spa

And now we're going purely entertaining as to what is absolutely sublime. Why can the Panda 100 HP has its spark, but the Porsche 911 GT3 RS words are older.

You can not say that the star of Stuttgart need more promotion, although this has not seemed to hinder his team of engineers and publicists have created a nice video starring the sport in their natural surroundings. If the sound of its engine of 3.6 litres and 6-cylinder boxer is not enough to shake the defenceless Panda, its 415 horses at 7,600 rpm that will surely leave the kid terrified of the track leaving behind a trail of antifreeze.

Spy Photos: Porsche 911 Turbo 2007

We doubt whether or not to publish these spy photos. That due to excess prototypes derived from the Porsche 997 which we have already reported, including Porsche 911 Turbo. But The Car Connection claims that these are the first exclusive pictures with accessories, spoiler, rear bumper, tailpipe and several other details. After a more thorough inspection, we realized that the air intakes on the rear wheels are different to those seen in earlier photographs.

BMW M10 to challenge Audi R8 and Porsche 911

Legend has it that BMW and Mercedes-Benz had a gentleman's agreement not to go after the Porsche 911. For whatever reason, building a two-seater sports the same style has never been in the plans of companies, this despite the fact that both machines built heavier and comfortable around that segment of Porsche 911.

Then came the Audi R8. Being trapped in third place in this race three brands, Audi has had to attack new segments and the R8 is a statement strong enough to cause someone to look for a Porsche 911, so think twice. This fact has opened the door for BMW considers its own sports two seats fact and law. The M6 has sufficient power in its V10 of 507 horses to leave behind the R8, but also is sufficiently rechoncho as to carry four passengers.

The German publication Auto Zeitung, reported that BMW started to work on a competitor's R8 and Porsche 911. With the name of M10, this coupe with front engine and rear traction could be the spiritual successor of M1 and the Z8. While BMW has used carbon fibre in some recent designs, the M10 might be completely covered with this material in order to keep a weight of 1,400 kilograms. The power would be delivered by the 4.2 L V8 engine of 420 horses M3 or the V10 5.0 L 550 hp. We could also expect that both engines were part of the bid, may well face against BMW and Audi R8/RS8 Porsche Turbo 911/ Porsche 911.

If BMW is actually working on a car of this kind, its development is being carried out after many doors and any information will be very difficult to achieve. Anyway, the idea does not sound anything preposterous.

The latest variant of the legendary Porsche 911 Targa arrives in format. From 1,966 in the Porsche 911 family has always enjoyed a version halfway between the exciting and beautiful coupé convertible. Now, alongside the superlative Porsche 911 GT3, Porsche introduced the world Targa as a four-wheel drive.

Who chooses this option, you can enjoy a huge panoramic glass roof, power-operated. It has a bumper to avoid the sun between the hottest days.

A feature of this roof is the capacity to overlap with the later moon, so it does not interfere in the beautiful line of the vehicle. All other details are equal to that of Porsche 911 traditional roof.

Following its world debut at the Salon de l'Automobile in Paris, was put up for sale in major international markets.

Open the pages of the new Porsche 911 Targa

How can promote the boys in Stuttgart his last Porsche 911 Targa without having to send some keys to the office of Autoblog? Well, launching a mini with which tempt via the Internet, for example.

Although the Porsche 911 Targa 4 may be the model with projected sales of more discrete Porsche catalogue, offers a glorious experience in combining a road chassis rear traction with the undeniable attraction of circular opencast without sensations are adversely affected by a depauperada structural rigidity for the loss of the roof. Y. .. Well, enough of chatter, click on the image to access the site in Spanish for the new Porsche 911 Targa 4. That is what they see after reading the owner, right?

Spy Photos: Porsche 911 Targa

The partial picture on the right is the result of taking a blurry photo captured and running quickly and pass it on Photoshop to do a good cleaning. The Porsche 911 Targa in question was seen by Daniel and Edward Allen, father and son, while travelling along a road in California, although tuition German sports might indicate otherwise. After realizing that the car had before was not a Porsche either, rushed to the camera and pulled out a couple of snapshots before losing sight, photos that WCF is clean and in high resolution.

We were waiting for: Nissan GT-R vs. Porsche 911 Turbo

The marketing department Nissan has not had empacho in reminding us again and again that the reference to develop the new GT-R was not one that the Porsche 911 Turbo. In fact, Nissan even issued its superiority in Nürburgring launching a press release with his best time. Of course, it is also true that nobody should think juntillas feet to everything they say manufacturers, so what better way to check these assertions through the empirical method? Inside Line has not been walked about the bush, and after getting a GT-R and a Porsche 911 Turbo, has placed face to face to see what was really in official figures.

The scenario chosen for the analysis has been the German road network, especially one of his legs without speed limit. The test was a persecution: the Porsche 911 behind, and the GT-R trying to escape. The Japanese confidence in cornering him on several occasions to let the Porsche 911 Turbo in the distance, and works as well as the Porsche managed to give some shock to test pilot, the GT-R slipped on the asphalt as if it were on rails. His incredible softness is due to the suspension and a careful system of comprehensive attesa traction, which allows you to get out of accelerating curves before it would be possible with the Porsche 911 Turbo.

And even here the experience on the road, because Inside Line also tested the GT-R circuit in Sendai, where once again demonstrated that it can cope with his great rival and leave with their heads held high. Spartans affordable and, yes, but also forceful. It seems that advertising Nissan was more than mere words.

The result is what they see is not up and work of an artist's Photoshop or anything. This is a completely transformed Fiat 500 to emulate the best possible way to a Porsche 911 Type 996. Although probably the driving force behind this Cinquecento is not water-cooled as his alter ego, at least it back.
