A German Muscle Car With Speed

2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
If you enjoy fine sports cars as I do you will love to hear , Porsche will show a new limited edition 911 GT2 RS at the Moscow Auto Show. The limited edition is restricted to five hundred cars. The new RS will be the fastest and most powerful road car Porsche has ever produced. In comparison to the existing 911 GT2, the RS has 90 bhp more horsepower and weighs 70 kilograms (154 lb) less, consumes 5% less fuel at 11.9 ltr/100 km or about 23.7 mpg and emits 5% less CO2 at 284 g/km. It's the blistering performance which will pull the punters though ring and on the street tracks. The 620 horsepower pushing a curb weight of 1370 kg makes for awesome acceleration. This baby will get and go, 0 to 100 kmh in 3.5 seconds, 0 to 200 kmh in just 9.8 seconds, and 0 to 300 kmh in 28.9 seconds. Top speed is 330 kmh and the car has already lapped the fabled Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit in seven minutes and 18 seconds. This baby is not cheap. The 911 GT2 RS base price is 7,710,000 baht. This beauty hits European showrooms in September and will be in the USA showroom in time for the October 2010 new model year.
The engine in the new RS is the traditional 3.6 liter six-cylinder boxer. A horizontally opposed engine force fed by two turbochargers with variable turbine geometry running through a six-speed manual gearbox. All of this power will be put to the ground through 325/30 ZR 19 tires developed specifically for the car.
Equally supreme stopping power on this ultra-high-performance sports car comes from PCCB composite ceramic brakes. She will ride well too with appropriate longitudinal and crosswise dynamics are ensured by the sporting RS set-up of the springs, PASM Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management, anti-roll bars, as well as the dynamic engine mounts and PSM Porsche Stability Management.
In its looks the new 911 GT2 RS stands out clearly from the 911 GT2, above all through the lavish use of carbon-fiber-reinforced (CFR) components in a matt-black surface finish. Even wider wheels and flared wheel arches at the front, make the new 911 GT2 stand out to even the most NON observing eye. When they add the light-alloy wheels and the "GT2 RS" model logo designations on the doors and rear lid does this baby really stand out to everyone. The upgraded front spoiler lip and the rear spoiler lip made of CFR are now 10 millimeters or almost 0.4 inches higher, again in surface carbon finish. The new spoiler will ensure the right aerodynamic precision as well as extra down force.
The interior also exudes the flair of sporting performance in virtually every detail, featuring lightweight bucket seats made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic in carbon surface finish. Lightweight door panels with door opening straps. The basic interior color is black, contrasting attractively with features such as the seat center sections and the roof lining as well as segments on the steering wheel rim. The gearshift and handbrake lever are both finished in red alcantara. Boy my mouth is watering and I can hardly wait.
