911 GT2

From eGMCarTech:
The Porsche 911 GT2, which is lighter and faster than the Turbo, is expected to make its debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September. With a 3.6 liter boxter twin-turbo engine, the Porsche 911 GT2 produces 525 horsepower, giving it the ability to do 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 200 mph.

From the images you can see that the Porsche 911 GT2 has a huge rear wing, cooling ducts on the rear bumper and large air intakes in the front.

The car is expected to arrive in Europe in early 2008 with a price tag of £120,000.

That looks very agressive, I like it! Somewhat of a mix between the Turbo and GT3 lookwise.

0-60mph in 4.5 seconds? yeah right, more like 3.5s.

So if the turbo manages 3.7 secs to 62mph with 483bhp this must be faster, maybe without 4wheel drive it's slower.

From eGMCarTech:
As we reported earlier in March, Porsche may be considering a hybrid variant of the Cayenne. Well now, according to Detroit Free Press, Porsche is going to start offering gasoline-electric hybrid systems starting in 2009, with the Cayenne SUV being the first to go green.

Porsche will be relying on its relationship with Germany’s largest auto maker, Volkswagen, since it gives the tiny sports car maker the volume to produce hybrids. In a recent interview with Mark Phelan, Porsche executive, Bernd Harling, said “Going forward, Volkswagen is the key. Porsche’s low volume means we’re limited in our research and development. We must focus on what we can do best.”

The relationship could even spawn Porsche diesel cars in the future. Not many are aware, but Porsche did most of the engineering for Volkswagen’s upcoming Audi Q7 hybrid SUV.
