Yep, another Porsche post. Porsche Introduces Exclusive 911 Sport Classic

Just ahead of the Frankfurt Autoshow, Porsche drops a dime on their latest creation, the 911 Sport Classic. With only 250 iterations slated for production, the Sport Classic certainly is a rare breed. Taking cues from the Carrera S, the 911 Sport Classic is powered by a 3.8-liter six cranking out 408 ponies, 23 more than cousin Carrera. This is mainly thanks to a modified intake manifold which boasts “six vacuum-controlled switching flaps.” The Sport Classic boogies from 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 187 mph.

The retro 911 comes with all the goodies you would expect from Porsche including ceramic composite brakes, a PASM sport tuned suspension (which lowers the ride height 20mm), a mechanical rear axle differential and custom 19-inch wheels with high performance tires. The SC speaks loudly to classic Porsche fans with its retro styling Sport Classic Grey paint scheme, double dome roof, 44mm wider rear end, a “Sport Design” front splitter, clear lens taillights and large ducktail rear spoiler paying homage to the classic 1973 Carrera RS 2.7. Inside, you will notice the brown woven leather sport seats, “Espresso Nature” leather christened dashboard, a beautiful Alcantara roof lining and eye popping detail on six-speed only shifter and handbrake.

You can pick up your 911 Sport Classic starting in January 2010 for $241k. Who said exclusivity was cheap!?! With only 250 being made I would suggest go to your nearest Porsche dealership starting NOWISH! Source

The Oakley Design Porsche Panamera is a Toned Beast

Oakley Design is a British tuning house that know their way with Porsche cars and to prove that, their latest work is a heavily toned down model of the Porsche Panamera. With a carbon fiber construction, the tuning house had managed to reduce the overall weight of the car by 75kg. Integrations like a tweaked rear spoiler, front splitter and 20-inch wheels, all in carbon, are responsible for this weight reduction. Performance wise the little beast has been tweaked with Turbo assistance and now outpus 680 horses. But in case you do not prefer a Turbo upgrade, even a slight adjustment to the exhaust and ECU will get you 580hp which is not meager by any figment of imagination. We’d like to get behind the wheel to push the pedal … [via gtspirit.com]

Hell of a pimped Ferrari comes in gold -

When you combine the ravenous demand for luxury goods with the squandered riches of Middle East, there’s simply no end to the potential for outright hysteria. Replacing everything that is luxurious, cocooned right in the land of the luxury cars, Golden Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano by Hamann sets the road ablaze. Finished in gold, the Ferrari features a new bodykit, subtle Hamann spoilers, an extra 53 HP, new wheels and hp.

Indeed, this highly pimped gilded Ferrari would have been a miss where the royals roam. Check out the pics after the jump:

Alligator-themed Ferrari 430 is for croc lovers.

“So, you have got a Ferrari, I own a Porsche too.” For those uber-rich socialites who desire to stand out amongst their elite circles, personalization is becoming a big differentiation. It’s just a question of how far you can take it. If a gold touch is too blingy for your taste like this Golden Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, then this Ferrari F430 with plush crocodile leather interiors can never go wrong. The entire interior from the dashboard to even the roll bars have been decked up in crocodile leather. No word on who this discerning car owner is or who is responsible for this tasteful customization, but if Hermes is ever to take a plunge in to customizing autos, this is what we expect from them.

Peta would be all over this! Red paint and all !! LOL

P800 911 Twin-Turbo by Switzer Performance - Ugh, they just keep coming!

The first Switzer car we featured, an 800bhp GT2, was so popular among Porsche owners that regular (if you could call them that) 911 Turbo owners requested a similar package. Now aided not only by all-wheel-drive but also 800bhp, the P800 screams through the quarter mile in only 10.5 seconds, and hits 60 in less than 3 seconds. Familiar upgrades to the turbos and intercooler, as well as to the ECU, exhaust, and clutch help create and transfer all 800 ponies to all four wheels. Oh, and it looks good, too.

Porsche 911 2010 GT3 RS - DOPE!!!

You all know the Porsche is my unicorn. But peep this new MOSTER they have released.

Coming on the heels of the latest presentation of the Porsche 911 Turbo for 2010 comes a more performance-minded creation in the form of the 911 GT3 RS. The smooth linear power delivery courtesy of a naturally-aspirated 3.8 L engine brings to the table more power than its regular GT3 counterpart with a 15 horsepower boost resulting in a total of 450 ponies. In addition comes an updated gearbox with shorter shifts and improved handling, all expected with a more performance-minded update to a present day classic. The full press-release can be seen below.

Delivering even more engine power, lower weight and shorter transmission ratios, as well as upgraded body and suspension components than all previous GT3s, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS sets the foundation for homologating the race version of the 911 GT3 and will be introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show September 17-27, 2009.

The heart of the new, uncompromising GT3 RS is the power unit. Like the engine featured in the 911 GT3, the naturally-aspirated RS power unit now displaces 3.8 liters and delivers even more power, while revving up even faster to its 8500 rpm redline. It now delivers 450 horsepower, 15 more horsepower than its 911 GT3 counterpart. Even with a specific output of more than 118 hp per liter from the six-cylinder boxer engine, the power unit in the new GT3 RS remains fully suitable for everyday use.

The new 911 GT3 RS comes exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox optimized for short gearshift travel, low weight and high efficiency. To enhance the level of performance throughout the entire range of engine and road speed, the transmission comes with shorter ratios than found in the 911 GT3, deliberately conceding an even higher potential top track speed.

Dynamic engine mounts are standard and serve to improve the car’s handling to an even higher level. Depending on driving conditions, the mounts change in their stiffness and damping effect, improving the connection between the engine and the body when driving under very lively conditions, yet allow for more comfortable conditions during everyday street use.

Porsche is also introducing another new option in 2010 for the GT3 RS, a lithium-ion battery. Delivered with the car and, when replacing the conventional lead-acid battery, it reduces the weight by more than 10 kg or 22 lb and is mainly intended for the track.

To further improve its sporting behavior, the new 911 GT3 RS comes with a purpose-built and specially set up PASM suspension, a wider front and rear track and corresponding bodywork.

The front axle comes with nine-inch-wide wheels running on 245/35 ZR 19 sports tires while the rear axle features twelve-inch-wide wheels incorporating 325/30 ZR 19 sports tires.

The new 911 GT3 RS shows its close connection to motorsport through its dynamic looks, in particular by its low ride height, the new, extra large carbon-fiber rear wing and titanium exhaust system.

The 2010 911 GT3 RS goes on sale in the U.S. in early spring of 2010 and will be priced at $132,800.
