Also, new headlights and exhaust system are mentioned, with 20-in wheels in Sport Chrono package. Overall look will be attractive and aggressive, with some color palette refreshements. Interior should be packed with appropriate equipment for this sport-tuned vehicle.

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS Performance

Both Cayman GTS and Boxster will transfer its power from 3.4-liter 6-cylinder boxer-type engine. However, outputs will be different. The new Cayman GTS will be capable to produce 340 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque, while Boxster outputs are slightly under these marks. This engine is taken from Cayman S model, but GTS versions added few horsepower to it. However, it will be paired with Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) transmission. It is 7-speed auto transmission with system in which driver doesn’t have to push a clutch pedal with activated Sport Plus button.

2015 Porsche 911 GT2

Added 06:54, Under: 2015 Porsche 911 GT2 , Porsche

2015 Porsche 911 GT2: Like the previous 911 GT2, the new model will feature a similar spec to the contemporary 911 Turbo, the new 2014 911 Turbo, but to separate the two the 911 GT2 will stick to rear-wheel drive and have a higher output. This means it will feature a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine, four-wheel steering and engine stop-start technology.Peak output is expected to register at 560 horsepower, which is on par with the output of the latest 911 Turbo S and 30 horsepower more than the output of the previous 911 GT2.

As for the transmission, Porsche’s seven-speed PDK dual-clutch unit is likely to replace the previous 911 GT2’s six-speed manual. By 2015, a new generation of the ultimate 911, the infamous 911 GT2 RS, is expected to land. This model is expected to match the 620 horsepower of the outgoing model but benefit from a lighter curb weight, the quick-shifting PDK and the new four-wheel-steering setup. Source

2013 Porsche 911 Turbo

Added 14:45, Under: 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo , Porsche

2013 Porsche 911 Turbo: The new 911 Turbo will keep the same 3.8-liter horizontally opposed six cylinder engine as previous models, but it will have a new boost thanks to a complex tri-turbo setup similar to what BMW is using in the M550d xDrive and X5 M50d models, among others. The system employs one smaller turbocharger and two larger ones. The smaller spools up more quickly at lower rpms, delivering an initial power boost that carries smoothly into the second and third larger units.

Although the horsepower ratings aren’t certain yet, the new system is expected to boost the 911 Turbo from 495 to 525 horsepower, which is quite close to the 530 hp 911 Turbo S. Porsche is currently completing testing on the tri-turbo setup inside their 991, though further details can’t be that far off given that it’s slated for the 2013 model year. See Pictures of 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo below.

2012 Porsche Boxster

Added 10:50, Under: 2012 Porsche Boxster , Porsche

2012 Porsche Boxster: Porsche should be congratulated for lowering the weight across the board for the new 981 model. Even if they’re a bit shy about putting a number to that weight loss. As we’ve previously reported, though, it’s around 15kg. Other changes include a longer wheelbase, wider track and shorter overhangs. That’s right, this Boxster should be even more precise than the old 987 model. Following the proven path the Boxster is available in two models, a 2.7 litre flat six with 195kW, and the S model, featuring a 3.4 litre flat six with 232kW.

If you get the optional 7-speed PDK transmission you’ll reach 100km/h in 5.7 seconds in the entry level Boxster, while the S will do it in 5.0 seconds. The new sports car generation makes its debut in the classic Porsche pairing of Boxster and Boxster S. Both models are powered by flat-six engines with direct petrol injection, the efficiency of which is further enhanced by electrical system recuperation, thermal management and start/stop function. The base model’s new power unit delivers 265 hp (195 kW) from a 2.7 litre displacement ten hp more than its larger displacement predecessor.

The Porsche Carrera GT

Added 07:13, Under: Porsche , The Porsche Carrera GT

The Porsche Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7 litre V10 engine producing 612 PS (450 kW; 604 hp) , whereas the original concept car featured a 5.5 litre version rated at 558 hp (416 kW). Porsche claims it will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds and has a maximum speed of 330 km/h (205 mph), although road tests indicated that in reality the car can accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.5 seconds and 0-100 mph (160 km/h) in 6.8 seconds. The Carrera GT has a basic five colour paint scheme which includes Guards Red, Fayence Yellow, Basalt Black, GT Silver and Seal Grey. Custom colours were also available from the factory. A traditional six-speed manual transmission is the only available transmission. Attached to this gearbox is a beechwood gearknob which pays homage to the wooden gearknob used in the Porsche 917 Le Mans racers. In its second year of production, a limited edition carbon fibre knob was also made available.

The Carrera GT has large side inlets and air dams that help cool the large V10 engine framed by the carbon fibre rear bonnet. Fitted with Porsche's latest Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite brake system, the 15-inch (380 mm) SGL Carbon disc brakes make an impressive appearance underneath the 19 inch front and 20 inch rear wheels. Similar to other Porsche models, such as the 911, the GT includes an automated rear wing spoiler which deploys above 70 mph (110 km/h).
