Porsche 960

Porsche 960 specifications

porsche 960 back view
Some specifications :
Featuring four turbochargers, two intercoolers, four adjustable camshafts, a complex multistage intake manifold, and dual-stage exhaust, the 3.9-liter engine is expected to deliver 650 hp and shoot the machine from a standstill to 100 km/h in an estimated 2.5 seconds.
With a mid engine design that’s very low mounted and connecting a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The Porsche 960 relies on an aluminum-intensive architecture supported by steel, carbon fiber, magnesium, titanium, and other composite elements to keep weight to about 3000 pounds.
All-wheel drive made the cut and adds close to 200 pounds but earns its keep by getting the power to the ground — 0 to 62 mph allegedly takes only 2.5 seconds.
Some new info from Georg Kacher :

- 3,9l flat-8, quad turbo, 650hp
- AWD, 7-speed PDK
- 1400kg
- 0-100 km/h ~ 2,5s
- 250 000+ EUR
- reveal in 2016

Pretty impressive, if true. No longer a car for purists, but it will be a monster. However, by that time there will already be a 458 successor (most likely turbocharged V8 as well) and MP4-12C in its 5th version already. The rumoured price is on a high side as well, in comparison with current prices in this segment.

Mid-engined, 4wd, eight-cylinder boxer engines: Georg Kacher reveals how the new 960 slots in above

Project 960 sits neatly between the forthcoming 580bhp 991 Turbo S and the 918 Spyder, complete with 583 V8-supplied bhp and 240 electric ponies.

It’s the first time Porsche has dabbled in this supercar sector: previously it’s stuck with racier 911s or proper top-end exotica such as the 959 and Carrera GT. And there are further reasons why we should all start salivating. Such as its eight-cylinder boxer engine. Or its four-wheel drivetrain and seven-speed PDK twin-clutch transmission. Not to mention its 2.5sec dash from 0-60mph.

It’s a brave move by Porsche, plugging a gap in its range which has let traditional supercar makers, and the likes of Bentley, make hay in the ?200k-plus marketplace. Not for much longer.

The model of the brand series is P13 will be sporty entry-level model with inferior performance of MP4-12C ,as well as ,of McLaren P1. This is a point which includes confirmed itself Mike Flewitt ,the executive director of the brand. The idea of the responsibles from the brand of Woking is to create a direct rival for your almighty Porsche 911 and they also already have it enought advanced ,because they plan to present it in the Geneva Show in 2015. They explained the strating price of the item will likely be 145.000 Euros. The sales team leader of McLaren Automotive Europe ,David Brimson ,describes the new model as “a sport car with high performance with the exact same DNA of 12C and P1”. In fact ,The McLaren P13 uses a chassis created from Carbon fiber because others two cars with the brand. After the very first image also has spoken about the engine :a block V8 of 3.8 l twin-turbo in a position to perform 450 and 500 HP.It is possible to couple automatic gearbox of double clutch and 7 velocities that can allow accelerate of 0-100 km/h for under 4 seconds and achieve maximal speed of about 300 km/h. Also ,last week was caught in circuit as well as in these pictures you can observe it.This is the first time when McLaren was disturbed to set an extensive camouflage in a test model, that will reveal the definitive shape of its body.This has a significant drawback :it doesn’t allow to view a big volume of details but it’s true that the car will have very sport style with lateral air intakes and back part making echoes like 12C. The new sport supercar of McLaren will be smaller and thinner compared to the models which can be in sale now , so its weight won’t surpass the 1400 kg with the 12C. There are others options for confirming but true - the functional on a convertible variant then one version sportier of Porsche GT 3. Read More http://mclarenp13.com
