Porsche 961 (Notizie)

[sarge]

Ad ogni modo è stato il caro buon vecchio Net a dare la definizione definitiva della 911: «L'auto che si vantava d'avere il raffreddamento del Garelli.»

Confermo.

Cosa non sei andato a tirare fuori?:lol:

Quella definizione è rimasta scolpita nella mia mente poiché è quasi uguale alla mia definizione delle Harley: «Le moto che si vantano di avere la trasmissione del Ciao.»

Though Porsche controls the rear-engine sports car market, it apparently wants in on Ferrari’s slice of the supercar pie. As we previously reported, the Stuttgart-based brand is planning a new model, codenamed 960 or “FeFi” for “Ferrari Fighter,” to challenge its exotic sports car rivals. Now, Automobile reports that changes have been made to the car’s original recipe, which formerly included a midship twin-turbo 4.0-liter flat-six.

That engine has reportedly been replaced by a quad-turbo 3.9-liter flat-eight, expected to pump out around 650 hp. Porsche decided to abandon its venerable six-cylinder boxer engine after realizing the car would likely cost as much as twelve-cylinder offerings like the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Lamborghini Aventador. Development of the new boxer-eight was approved by Volkswagen Group chief Ferdinand Piech, who is said to have previously owned one-off Porsche 914 and Cayman models equipped with flat-eight engines.

In addition to its four turbochargers, the 960’s engine will also boast twin intercoolers, four adjustable camshafts, a multistage intake manifold, and dual-stage exhaust system. The 3.9-liter engine will still be midship-mounted, and will sit low in the chassis for a lower center of gravity. The 960’s chassis architecture will be shared with other sporty VW group vehicles, including the next-gen Boxster and Lamborghini Aventador successor, and is said to be made up primarily of aluminum supported by steel, carbon fiber, magnesium, and titanium to achieve a curb weight around 3000 pounds. Power will be transmitted to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Automobile estimates the Porsche 960 will hit 60 mph from a standstill in 2.5 seconds. A rear-drive GT edition may also be in the works, though there are currently no plans for a convertible model.

As we previously reported, the 960 could resemble the Porsche 918 RSR coupe concept of 2011 (pictured above), but will have little else in common with Porsche’s upcoming 918 hybrid halo car. Porsche estimates it can sell between 3000 and 4000 960 models a year over its six-year lifecycle. Production could begin at Porsche’s Zuffenhausen facility in early 2017.

quindi un boxer 8 cilindri quadriturbo costa meno che un 6 cilindri bi-turbo che costa più o meno come un 12cilindri aspirato?
