New 650HP 911 GT with room for 4 adults

Porsche has long been hinting about a car that will fit 4 adults, unlike the 2+2 911 Carrera model.



The car you see in the photo will be based on the VW Phaeton platform and it will be using the Cayenne AWD system and gearbox.

The engine will be placed at the front! And it will be V8 from the Cayenne only in the twin turbo mode it will make 650HP. Price will be at least $250K.

It will go against the new GT from Bentley and the Ferrari 456 M. So the price makes sense.

I am sure you will have difficulty reading it but here:

http://www.in.gr/auto/autoarticle.asp?arcode=6285

The info came from the Paris auto show from Porsche's president Wendelin Wiedeking.

The 360 is not a competitor here. Plust you can almost get 2 of them for that money.

I dont know. The 456 is getting way to old at this point. It's been out for ever with no major changes really.

sheiiiit baby, 650 hp?
i'd rock it, but i dunno, i couldnt justify dropping that much on a Porsche. i dunno why but 250k for a car that essentially looks like a base 966 but longer, just doesnt seem right, i mean, the bentley has a definite look and sound, the ferrari is so exotic its almost worth it. i know its kinda wierd but does anyone else feel this way?

Looks kinda weird. Too stretched out.
I like the Bentley GT better... Not that I'd ever have the $$ to spend on either one

Has Porsche ever tried to offer 4-door super high performance sedan? If not, it should at least tried one time, probably it would sell and not ruin its image, at least better than Cayenne.

By the way, all 911s seem the same to me, don't see any difference from the outside.

Yea, but with 650hp AWD this car is faster and more powerful than most of those planes

A 360 coupe is about $150K. This Porsche car is $100 more expesive than the 360.

Also, the Maserati Spyder is a 2+2, just like a 911 Carrera currently. The new Porsche car will be a true 4 seater (at least according to Porsche).

How soon we forget the 928 and the 944 and 944 turbo.
The 928 was the best Porsche in my opinion. Just my favorite I guess.

This new car looks cool. Can't wait to see one on the road.
