A Porsche 911 with seven-speed manual gearbox … rumor or reality?
The Internet rumors are quite tiring me, but when the rumor comes from the U.S. edition of Car and Driver the thing has a good chance of being true.
So far several automatic gearboxes have been offered for sale with seven, eight or even nine relations , but manual changes have stalled the six speeds. Apparently the manual gearbox Porsche seven-speed is directly derived from the dual-clutch automatic gearbox Porsche PDK is not a new development or anything like that.
Thus, Porsche offers its range of dual-clutch automatic transmission, automatic traditional torque converter and manual six or seven speeds. Almost anything…
Why seven speeds now? Apparently the only function of this “overdrive” modern is to save fuel and make the new Porsche more comfortable (less noise, less vibration, less fuel stops) on long journeys by road and highway.
The Porsche purists can now start pulling their hair go … times change and who is not board the train stays on the ground. Now Porsche addition to freak us convey feelings and also must travel at 110 km/h on the motorway at 2,000 RPM consuming 8 liters and in absolute silence. Who cares if it makes a few extra pounds to the car?
Finally, data are official slip spectacular Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 LImited Edition. This impressive ashbeast be built to around 600 units at a modest price of 200,000 euros for Spain. If you have some loose pocket change and you can sign up.
This car is the peak of 997, and it takes many components. Most impressive, the engine is the same flat-six cylinder and four liters atmospheric, but this time developing a brutal power of 500 hp at 8,250 rpm and 460Nm at 5,750 rpm. Curra Porsche really much atmospheric engines, get stratospheric figures of 0-100 km / h in 3.9 seconds and a time of 7:27 Nurburgring (unofficial figure yet, I guess that will fall)
To achieve these figures, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS Limited Edition 4.0 is using a severe thinning process. The needle of the scale stops at the 1,360 kg although this has to make some concessions such as plastic windows and moon, carpeted floor mats and testimonial, etc. As usual, the carbon fiber also makes its appearance in Replacement of metal parts like the hood.
Backet racing , rainbow roll, tires Michelin slick … kind of doubt which is the natural habitat of this Porsche ?
Do not miss the sound emanating from its twin exhaust pipes in the video!
Maserati makes fantastic cars, but the vast majority with a touch complacent and bourgeois obviously necessitated the emergence of a beast to take out the wildest of the Italian brand, and that car is the MC12.
With a superb base
To make a good car is a must have a solid base, either new or existing. The MC12 is the Ferrari Enzo as a chassis is concerned, something that gives a large percentage of the success of this car at the time marked in different circuits.
No less important is the six-liter engine and twelve-cylinder engine that develops 632 horsepower, achieving a maximum speed up short for the type of car it is: 330 km / h.
Many buts
At least in Top Gear, the Maserati MC12 was superior to the Ferrari Enzo in spite of having a lower top speed, although the difference was clearly a negligible 0.1 second.
So, it’s fast … but something is wrong. Is a car that was manufactured to compete with him for approval, “not a car which has competed after being manufactured, and that brings some problems: lack of rear window, no luggage, limited interior comfort a little too sharp reactions.
Sibling
I have not even remotely more than half a million euros it costs, but if I did I tell you something: I do not buy the MC12 before the Enzo, you lose too much to gain 0.1 seconds in one lap.
Buy an object for the simple fact that once belonged to a famous person does not make much sense, especially if it costs a bundle object. In some cases, even less sense, especially if the purchase is a relatively common car will depreciate over time.
The above is the supercar Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder by Jeremy Clarkson, and is on sale for $ 150,000. Clarkson has not said why he gets rid of his Lambo, but probably will not take too much less, since in his garage is still a Ford GT and a Mercedes CLK 63 AMG Black Series.

This was accomplished by low revs this engine gives us, as it has up to 980 rpm The price will be high of 75,000 pounds (139,500 euros) but worth it.
