The 2022 Porsche 911 Sport Classic is coming soon

Porsche will soon present a new generation 911 Sport Classic that will be produced in a limited edition. Like the previous model which was made in 250 units and sold before the official presentation, the same is expected from the new 911 Sport Classic.

The Porsche 911 Sport Classic will be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo direct-injected flat-six engine with 473 hp (352 kW) at 6500 rpm and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque at 2300 rpm. The same engine uses the Porsche 911 GTS. Reaches 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 7-speed manual or 8-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission. It is mounted on slightly larger wheels with five-spoke aluminum rims.

Spy photos show that the new 911 Sport Classic has a design similar to the 911 Turbo. At the front there is a new grill, while at the back there is a duck tail spoiler with a light bar. Although there is no information about the interior yet, it is expected that there will be no major changes. The brown leather-covered sports seats, which can also be seen on the daschboard, adorn the current generation 911 Sport Classic.

2022 Ferrari Purosangue

Four years ago, Ferrari announced its first SUV, the Purosangue, and it is now finally known when this model could hit the market. After the competitors presented their SUVs, it seems that even the Italian brand could not withstand the pressure.

Following the success of other manufacturers and the need for fresh capital, it obviously had a big impact on Ferrari, which in its financial report hinted at entering the SUV market. The first Ferrari SUV should arrive on the market this year, and the first deliveries can be expected in 2023.

Last year was very successful for Ferrari. According to a report recently released, Ferrari has achieved a historic result when it comes to sales. 11,155 cars were delivered worldwide, which is 22 percent more than in 2020. The highest sales were recorded in the largest Ferrari market (Europe, Africa, Middle East), 49.2 percent. Also, sales growth was achieved in the markets of Asia and North America.

This is impressive considering that Ferrari did not have SUVs on offer.

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS On Ice

Late last year, Porsche introduced the fastest and most powerful Cayman, the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS. After showing its potential at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, this model did the same at the recently held GP Ice Race in Austria.

It is made of lightweight materials, which reduces the weight by 28 lbs compared to the GT4 model on which it is based. It is equipped with improved adjustable suspension, and optimized adaptive aerodynamics.

The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS is powered by a 4.0-liter flat six engine with 493 hp (368 kW) and 331 lb-ft (449 Nm) of torque. With a weight of 3,227-pound (1,464-kilogram) it reaches 62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph (316 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed double – clutch automatic transmission (PDK).

The fact that GT4 RS uses synthetic fuels, which reduced CO2 emissions, attracted the most attention of visitors. Porsche Board Member for Research and Development Michael Steiner said: “Different regions of the world are adopting electric mobility at varying speeds, meaning vehicles with combustion engines will remain on the road for decades to come.” For that reason, Porsche started building a factory for the production of eFuels. The factory will be built in Chile and is expected to produce around 130,000 liters of eFuels by the end of this year, which Porsche will primarily use in motorsport racing.
