A popular german car-mag rumours about porsche's next generation supercar,
the "porsche carrera gt II".
It may be based on the famous porsche carrera gt and will possibly be presented in 2010 and raced in the issue of the legendary 24h le mans race in the same year.

supposed specifications:

- drivetrain: 4WD (thouhg i rather believe that it is going to have rear-wheel drive)
- transmission: 7-gear-DSG
- weight: 1270kg
- acceleration 0 - 60mp/h / 0 - 100km/h: 3,4s

Looks like Porsche's designers have been busy designing reading glasses because clearly they all left the project after designing the taillights. I'm guessing the engineers took it upon themselves to "finish" the car.

Which begs a bigger question: if you're gonna create a pchop of a car, why not at least make it look good?

Dang that looks bad ass.

I'm guessing this is just photoshopped but that back...HAHAHAHAHA images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I believe the specs, but not the design.
[joke] Unless they plan on redesigning the upcoming GTs like they do with the 911[/joke]

This is 2008, not 1998 right? First that dodge, and now this, which looks like a CLK-GTR and a Gt1 mated.

^I was thinking about that... Even the name, classic Porsche thing! Don't change almost anything from one gen to the other. images/smilies/lol.gif

But seriously, that thing'd be badass. If it really runs in Le Mans then... oh, God! C'mon Porsche, bring it!

Necx0 · January 24th, 2008, 01:56 AM

Can't see it happening for a lot of reasons. Racing regulations, world economy being two of them.

No Boss · January 24th, 2008, 02:55 AM

Hey I don't care what it looks like, as long as it still sounds amazing (possibly the greatest engine noise on the market today) it's great by me.

Actually that asks the question, begging the question means something else entirely.

off course the pictures are made by photoshop, but in most cases they are made on the basis of insider information! i bet, porsches next supercar won't look like the one on the photos und it won't be named "porsche carrera gt II", either!
but the fact that this thing is going to be realized can be assumed surely, because every sportscarmanufacturer needs to develop a technologically outstanding supercar every couple of years, which pushes the limits in order to consolidate their corporate identity und therefore it is most likely that this thing is going to be raced at le mans, too.
if it hadn't been vw's wish, that audi / bentley raced their r8 / speed 8 at le mans, even the "old" carrera gt would have been a LMP I racecar instead of becoming an road versoin, but they wanted to avoid a corporate internal competition.
after audi retired from racing their diesel r10 it is going to be porsche's turn to race and win at le mans, again.

didn't someone die testing a Carrera GT race car before it became a production car?

also, Porsche has already confirmed there will be a replacement for the CGT. it won't even be named the Carrera is what i heard. it'll have a totally different name.

powah · January 24th, 2008, 07:42 AM

Sooo... this looks like a Cayman with a massive spoiler on the back. Nice.

You're thinking about the LMP1. (more about that here) They only ran it a couple of times before it was shelved to make way for the Audi R8.
