Porsche Carrera GT's farewell

Porsche has announced that after manufacture it for three years, has put an end to the production of the Porsche Carrera GT with the dispatch of the last unit to a buyer in the United Arab Emirates. The last Porsche Carrera GT was the number 1111 which left the assembly line, leaving a Porsche below the target initially planned to produce 1,500 units of the model. Inside Line reports that more than half of the cars were sold in North America.

Although it was in production for only three years, the Porsche Carrera has christened as the "most successful sports car of all time." We do not know on which they are based for the Porsche Carrera worthy of such a title (Porsche never sent us one to test it) but still, we believe that the Porsche Carrera GT has earned its place within the elite of the cars.

Presents the new Porsche Carrera 4 and 4S

Immediately after announcing the renewal of the range 997, Porsche has now given a little face washing their Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and Porsche Carrera 4S. Visually, the Porsche Carrera C4 and Porsche Carrera C4S are immediately distinguishable from the rest of the family through the reflector that extends between the rear, which will surely arouse fond memories among porschistas. The rear of the body is 44 mm wider than on the models of rear traction, and before we have the same front already seen a couple of weeks ago.

The redesign of the model also incorporates mechanical innovations, represented by two direct injection engines and transmission, and optional seven-speed dual-clutch Porsche Doppelkupplung (KDP). Both models are more powerful but also more efficient. The 3.6 liter engine six-cylinder in-line can draw a maximum of 345 hp, while the Carrera 4S extracted 385 hp from its 3.8 Block L; consumption officers are 10.1 and 10.7 L to 100 km.


The old system of traction, moreover, has been replaced by the new Porsche Traction Management, and the carrier is now equipped with a new browser-center multimedia touch screen, compatible with Bluetooth phones and MP3 players USB.

The new Porsche 911 Carrera 4 will go on sale on October 25 in Germany, just in time to prove what may be carrying their new integrated traction on wet roads in the country.

Porsche reduces the production of the Carrera GT

One of our favorite supercoches, the Porsche Carrera GT, will be even more exclusive.

Porsche has announced it will cut production of the Porsche Carrera GR 1,500 to 1,250 units, with the United States the country most affected by the change in plans. While this decision means we will have fewer opportunities to see live a Porsche Carrera GT, possibly serve to increase the residual value of the car, something that will make sure happy to vendors and landlords.

TechArt Porsche Carrera GT improves

The Porsche Carrera GT is nothing short of a magic carpet with wheels, you can not say that there is an urgent need to modify it extensively. Already one of the world's fastest sports, and just out of the factory and looks spectacular. The engineers of the German TechArt, however, believe they can improve it, so we have created a series of discrete aerodynamic improvements that do not negatively affect the good inherent aspect of the car.

At the front of the Porsche Carrera GT we can find a new, small spoiler, accompanied by an equally small air inlet to the Porsche911 GT3. Looking back, we see an almost imperceptible rate Gurney flap. All pieces are made of carbon fiber, a material that TechArt has preferred to leave without paint. Tires and wheels remain unchanged compared to the original, and in what appears to be an exercise in self-control, the coach has left the engine of the Porsche Carrera GT and its suspension came as standard.

But we talk about TechArt, so that does not mean that the sport has not been enhanced in some way. In this case the Porsche Carrera GT gets new entry and exhaust systems, which together manage to raise the power of the car from 612 to 635 horses. Because after all, what can be done with only 612 horses?

As in other of his projects, the interior has been customized with leather details and carbon fiber. The options for the carrier are essentially unlimited, given that TechArt creates the comfortable cabins of the buyer, and the same can be said of the painting, something grateful, because not everyone likes the metallic orange of the photographs (even if send us a wrapped him we will not Ascos).

Promotional video of the Porsche Carrera GT

A car of the features of the Porsche Carrera GT speaks for itself in terms of quality, and you do not need to invest in advertising to convince us of its attributes. Even so, people from Stuttgart felt at the time that the sport deserved its own promotional video. In the piece, which lasts nearly four minutes, Porsche tells us about the history of the brand, technological innovations of the company, its competitive experience and certainly presents us with the Porsche Carrera GT, counting on a lightweight V10 engine and its brake and clutch pottery.

Video: Porsche Carrera GT vs BMW E30 M3 biturbo in the "Ring"

We have already seen good videos of cars running around Nürburgring and we have another chemical that is loud in our ranking. The sequence begins in an innocent way with a E30 M3 biturbo moves that worried for their field, when suddenly see a Porsche Carrera GT yellow outstrip the BMW on the left. Thereafter, the battle has no truce.

The M3 performs quite well against a faster Porsche, but even with its two peat, in the Porsche Carrera GT you straight out quite advantage to BMW. Note the quantity of insects die crushed against the windscreen of the M3, were perhaps attracted by the noise as a toy that seems to ring every time the BMW passes changes.
