Porsche Carrera GT

People say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A video of the remarkable Turquoise Green Metallic Porsche Carrera GT has appeared on TheTFJJ YouTube channel.

The Porsche Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7-liter V10 engine with 603 hp (450 kW) and 435 lb-ft (590 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of more than 205 mph (330 kph).

It is equipped with large engine cooling vents located in the middle of the rear axle, electronically operated rear wing and 19 and 20 inch 5-spoke alloy wheels with 380 mm SGL Carbon brake discs.

The car was driven on wet British country roads, and some parts of the interior can be seen in the video, such as a dashboard trimmed in soft leather. Due to the weather, the removable roof was in place.
The car is made of lightweight carbon materials, and the design is based on Le Mans race cars, so the ignition is on the left.

At the Nürburgring Nordschleife the Porsche Carrera GT set a lap time of 7 minutes and 28 seconds.

Porsche 911 Safari

For a long time now, Porsche has been intensively testing the new 911 Safari model, which is based on the Carrera S. It is a legal-road rally model with off-road capabilities.

Spy photos show that the suspension is slightly higher than the Carrera S. After testing in the snow, the car is currently being tested near the Nürburgring.

Under the hood will be a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged boxer 6 engine with 443 hp (326 kW) and 390 lb-ft (529 Nm) of torque. According to some information, the Safari will have all-wheel drive, and power will be transmitted via a 7-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed dual-clutch PDK. It reaches 60 mph in just over 3 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 km / h). It is equipped with 20-inch rims wrapped in 295/40 Pirelli tires.

There are still many questions about the specifications of the Porsche 911 Safari. Will it enter mass production and when? Will it be a limited edition? How much will it cost? So far, we only have rumors without official confirmation.

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo from the movie “Bad Boys” at auction

Auction house Mecum has announced the sale of the 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo from the movie “Bad Boys”. The car was driven by actor Will Smith, and comes with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and a Movie Certificate of Authenticity.

It is equipped with a rear spoiler, air conditioning, radio cassette player, sunroof, 5-spoke speedline aluminum wheels, and it is finished in Black with Black leather interior. Director Michael Bay, who owned the car, sold it to producer Pat Sandstone, and then in 2005 it was bought by the current owner. Also, Porsche was part of the Matthew Drendel collection between 2008 and 2014.

It is powered by a turbocharged 3.6L 6-cylinder engine with 355 hp (265 kW) and 384 lb-ft (520 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. It is equipped with 17-inch rims wrapped in 205 / 50R17 (front) and 225 / 45R17 (rear) tires. The car is in excellent condition with 34,396 miles (55,355 kilometers).

The car is expected to reach a high price, especially due to the fact that a similar unit (without any certificates) was sold last year for 275,000 euros. The extremely rare Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 X88 has been sold for $ 439,099.
