Porsche 911 Turbo S

Porsche will show off the new supersized, beefcake 911 Turbo S at the 2010 Geneva motor show. It’s the 911 Turbo aimed at that greedy niche who think the standard car isn’t fast enough. Which presumably consists of one Herr Rohrl.

We’ve never for one moment thought the regular 911 Turbo was shy of a few ponies, but someone in Stuttgart obviously thinks so. Hence the new Turbo S model, sporting a faintly ludicrous 523bhp and 516lb ft of torque. Thank goodness for four-wheel drive, we say.

Does Porsche always build a 911 Turbo S?

They have done in recent years. There’s a small band of buyers for whom having the top car is everything, and Porsche has serviced this niche in 1998 and 2004.

The extra power comes from the regular 911 Turbo’s pair of variable geometry turbos, cranked up to 11. The Turbo S is available only with the seven-speed PDK twin-clutch ’box and 19in RS Spyder wheels.

Considering the extra oomph on tap, combined economy of 24.8mpg isn’t too bad. In fact, it’s identical to the standard 911 Turbo.

And the 911 Turbo S is fast: 0-62mph takes a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it-and-let’s-face-it-probably-crash 3.3 seconds. Even 124mph passes in just 10.8sec, while top speed hits 196mph.

How much will the new Porsche 911 Turbo S cost?

Hold on tight. The 911 Turbo S lands in May 2010 and will cost £123,263 for the coupé and £130,791 for the Cabriolet. You’d have to really want the top-dog 911 to pay that kind of price…

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton...

Maserati Ghibli vs BMW 6 Series : Which Will You Buy?

When considering vehicles like Maserati Ghibli and the BWM 6 Series Gran Coupe, both reflect an effort toward blending dignified luxury with exhilarating performance. Though beholding vehicles of this caliber is always an exercise most fruitfully left to the natural eye, the image above serves as a simple example of each sedan’s inherent dignity. In lieu of experiencing each vehicle’s performance profile from behind the wheel, the table provided similarly works to demonstrate what both Ghibli and BMW’s 6 series have been engineered to accomplish. Comparing the Maserati Ghibli vs. BMW 6 Series in this regard yields a number of important emphases. Local clients will notice that both vehicles develop their identity around six-cylinder engines with a pair of strategic turbochargers. Yet regardless of identical displacement and analogous induction technology, Maserati serves its Ghibli clients with significantly greater quantities of horsepower and torque. In addition to t...

Lamborghini Estoque

The Lamborghini Estoque (Spanish pronunciation: [esˈtoke]) is a concept car built by Lamborghini. Unlike current production Lamborghini cars, which are mid-engine two-seat sports cars, the Estoque is a four-door sedan. The Estoque was introduced at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The Estoque is the first front-engine vehicle by Lamborghini since the LM002 utility vehicle. It is described as a "concept for a $230,000 four-door sedan". It currently houses a 5.2 litre V10 engine, although there has been speculation that this could be replaced by a V12, V8, or possibly even a hybrid or turbo-diesel engine, as suggested by Lamborghini's Brand Director, Manfred Fitzgerald. As with other Lamborghinis, the Estoque derives its name from the sport and tradition of bullfighting: An estoque is a type of sword traditionally used by matadors. Speculation regarding production It was reported on 22 March 2009 that production plans for the Lamborghini Estoque were cancelled. Lamborghini ex...
