Credits should go to somebody else for posting this, but of course he didn't post in the correct place.

I acknowledge that for us "French-speaking" it's difficult to learn German language. But, that's too practical for German car fans like me to watch videos from Motorvision and to read articles from Auto Motor und Sport...

I'm not "totally" french, I'm living in an area which was German 65 years ago and the people here keep on speaking a "half-german" language
Fortunatly I've got a lot of german channels so I can watch AMS (yesterday : new Boxster S )

^^^^^^ I suppose you live in Alsace/Lorraine "Elsass and Lothringen" ?
My mastery director at University is originating from there. He is also a fanatic of Porsche. He went lately to "Mondial de l'Automobile Paris 2004" and he brought me back a Porsche brochure's featuring the new 997 Carrera S and the new Boxter S.

Further EUR 3,000 bonus payment for each Porsche AG employee
Stuttgart. Against the backdrop of the positive earnings situation at Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart in the 2003/2004 financial year, the Executive Board and Group Works Council have again decided to issue a bonus payment. Accordingly, each full-time Porsche AG employee who joined the company before August 1, 2003 will receive a sum of EUR 3,000, in addition to the Christmas bonus which exceeds the level agreed in collective bargaining. This is the same amount that was paid in the last financial year. A figure of EUR 520 has been agreed for trainees and apprentices. Employees will receive their bonuses with the next payment of their wages/salaries. A company agreement to this effect will be signed in the next few days. About the figures for the employees of Porsche subsidiaries (such as Porsche Leipzig GmbH) has not been made a decision yet.
Furthermore, the Executive Board and the Group Works Council have agreed that Porsche will continue to invest in its successful partial retirement model, which currently is limited to July 31, 2005. Both sides will take up negotiations to extend the Porsche partial retirement program over the coming weeks.
Harro Harmel, Personnel Director at Porsche AG commented, "With the bonus payment that has now been agreed, the Executive Board would like to express its thanks and recognition for the outstanding performance of all employees and their flexibility in respect of change. At the same time, management anticipates that the work force will continue to display a high level of flexibility in the future."

Uau... impressive figures!!
Never thought that the difference between a prepared GT3 and the race car would result in such a difference while lapping in "the Ring".

Very nice comparison there. The 8 second difference between the M410 and the standard GT3 is quite impressive. But the 7'01" time of the GT3 race car is just fan-bleeding-tastic. That time is so damn fast. Impressive stuff.

im must agree, those are very impressive times at NS... i wonder if the race driver is kicking himself for not hitting 6:59 8)
on the dyno:
392,3hp for the std GT3
|
|
Maximum output is up from 265 kW or 360 bhp at 7200 rpm to 280 kW or 381 bhp at 7400 rpm
|

***first award for the Porsche 997***
in their latest issue "CAR Magazine" pitches the 997 against The Ford GT, AM DB9, Noble M400, BMW 1 series, Lamborghini Gallardo, 911 GT3 RS, Lotus Exige, SLK 350, Impreza WR1, TVR T350, VXR Monaro, CL65 AMG, Audi RS6 Plus, and others....
"the 997 wins because it has the best engine: musical, powerful, fantastically elastic. It wins because its key controls - gearchange, steering, all three pedals - have a fluidity that no car here can match. It wins because you can use it for commuting or competition.. It wins because it feels small yet offers huge performance. It also feels indestructible, one of the finest-built cars in the world, a machine sure to offer just as much pleasure in 10 years as it will today...
after more than 40 years, Porsche - which probably has a greater understanding of the performance art than any other car maker save perhaps Ferrari - has honed its 911 to a level nearing perfection. The greatest ever version of what is probably the world's greatest supercar is surely a worthy Performance Car of the Year".
