Porsche 911 GT3 996 Gets Stretched

A Porsche 911 is a Porsche 911, regardless of the generation it belongs to and we’re here to give you an example of that. We are talking about a 996 generation 911 GT3, which has recently received some tuning attention and now looks extremely fresh.

The vehicle has been gifted with a set of Work rims, that come in a 20-inch size and use 305/25/ tires for the rear axle and 255/30 tires for the front one. As for the stretching mentioned in the title of the article, those fat rear tires required the rear fenders to be rolled.

The 911 GT3 also received 997 headlights, as well as a tweaked 997 front fascia and thus has become even more tempting. The black centers of the rims match the dark tint of the windows, offering a bad boy image to the rear-engined coupe.

Spyshots: 2013 Porsche 911 Targa 991

We’ll quote Bob Marley for the start of this article: “Don’t worry, be happy”, Porsche isn’t going to turn the next 911 Targa into a car that requires the owner to manually remove the glass top. This rumor was the first that came to our minds when we saw the adjacent spyshots of the car. If you take a close look, you’ll notice that the canvas and the composite material rear window are fake, being used just to hide the true details of the car.

However, the 991 generation of the 911 Targa will bring back the central roll bar, borrowed from the original 1960s’ Targa, but the massive glass panel in front of it is expected to fold electrically behind the roll bar. Porsche has done a great job reinventing the soft top for the Cabrio versions of the new 991 generation, so we’re expecting the new Targa roof to also be a technical masterpiece.

The should borrow its tech side from the Carrera and Carrera S versions, which means that if you go for the standard one, you’ll get a 3.4-liter flat six delivering 350 hp, while the sportier model will be powered by a 3.8-liter flat six with 400 hp. Porsche is expected to launch the four-wheel drive versions of the Carrera and Carrera S by the end of the year and thus there will also be Targa incarnations of these ones.

Porsche 911 (997) Carrera 4S Wrap: Graphite Metallic

 

You know how Porsche design is a game of millimeters? You move the lights closer by 12 mm, add 22 mm of LEDs and you have a completely new car for people to spend their hundreds of thousands on.

That’s because the 911 is the sort of car that has really made history. Thus, the shape has not drastically changed in half a century, and most people instantly recognize one when they see it.

That’s why changing the color of the 911 has to be changed only a bit to make it more modern. Today, we bring you a car wrap project from Russian tuners Re-Styling, who have covered a 997 generation Porsche 911 Carrera 4S in “Graphite Metallic”.

This is a color we normally associate with previous generation BMW 3-Series, but they clearly made it work on a Porsche.

To get the vinyl foil on the car, they had to to completely strip the car, taking off the chrome, the lights and even the reflective bar at the back that’s known as the 3S’ trademark.

Champion Motorsport: Porsche 911 RSR Becomes Street-Legal

Champion Motorsport has taken its obsession for the Porsche 911 to the next level with its latest project, which aims to offer the world a road-going version of the 911 RSR racer.

The aftermarket developer used a 2011 911 Turbo S as a starting point, with the vehicle receiving 68 mm variable turbine geometry turbochargers (along with a long list of engine mods), an adjustable Ohlins coilover suspension, as well as Champion Motorsport wheels, which use a concave multi-spoke design that seems to be able to mix form with function in a perfect way.

The car has been dressed in a carbon fiber body kit, with the aerodynamics being extremely well taken care of - the tuner used items such as a flat underbody and a generously-sized rear wing.

Champion Motorsport hasn’t released the full details for the 911 RSR, but we can tell you that the vehicle comes with a financial burden of $399,000 (EUR318,000 at the current exchange rates).

Car Crash: Lindsay Lohan Wrecks Rented Porsche 911

One of the biggest stories currently doing the rounds on the internet celebrity gossip sites involves Lindsay Lohan and a brand new Porsche (991) 911. It appears that Lohan has had yet another accident during the week, writing off the brand new Porsche by crashing into the back of a truck. TMZ reports that Lohan was temporarily hospitalised by the incident, however, we are told that she was not injured.

Reports suggest that Lohan was driving the Porsche at the time with her assistant in the passenger seat. There is some suggestion that the car was a rental. The entire front was wrecked as the car clearly hit the back of an 18-wheel truck. Lohan reportedly blamed the accident on the truck driver changing lanes without any indication. The truck driver appears to be claiming the opposite, that Lohan simply drove into the back of trailer.

Following the incident, Lohan was bundled into the back of a Cadillac Escalade and taken to hospital while her assistant was taken in an Ambulance. Police are investigating the incident and have confirmed so far that neither of the drivers were intoxicated.

Lindsay Lohan Crashes Porsche 911

We’ve just learned that actress and socialite Lindsey Lohan saw the bad end of an eighteen wheeler. Yes, 25 year old just can’t seem to catch a break and has crashed a Porsche 911 into a truck.

Was she distracted because she was thinking how long it’s been since her last media scandal? According to a TMZ report we can at least take alcohol off the list since law enforcers reportedly tested both her and the truck driver, and both weren’t driving under the influence.

The 911 loops a mangled, with the whole front section of the car being completely crumpled up. Witnesses at the scene of the accident say Lindsey was bleeding and bruised, as was her passenger, a personal assistant.

The Hollywood star says she was not to blame for the accident, which took place on he Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica, California, as the eighteen wheeler cut her off. However, as the accident took place on a straight piece of road and the Porsche hit the back of the other vehicle, it doesn’t sound that good of an explanation.

What’s more, it wasn’t really her Porsche 911, as it was actually a rental car. Yes, it’s the brand new 911that just came out at the beginning of the year, and it’s a Carrera S, so it wasn’t cheap. Oh dear Lindsey, we hope you get better, but you need a driver and a slower car!

Porsche 911 GT2 R Sportec In Action

Youtube Mikesupercars filmed this very unique Porsche GT2 R Sportec at Gran Turismo Events Nurburgring. The green monster used to be just a regular 2008 997-generation GT2, until the guys at Sportec kitted it out with all the bells and whistles and tuned it into a real track monster.

For the road, this setup would be utterly ridiculous, but for the track you won’t be able to say this doesn’t stand out in the right sort of way. The car is also incredibly fast, as you’re about to see in this video. The sound this car makes is intense and the flybys are pretty fast!

“I've had the car for a while now, it initially started out as a totally stock '08 997 GT2 and has been modified step by step over the past two years. Last winter I decided to give it a try and went a step further. The idea was to build something special which would fully correspond to what I see as the perfect track toy. The complete project only took around three and a half months. All the work has been done by the guys at Sportec in Switzerland,” the owner of the car says.

Stock Aventador vs Switzer Porsche 911 Turbo

American tuner Switzer Performance has a number of power kits for the Porsche 911 Turbo ,and apparently, one of them offers you 900 horepower. That should be enough for any drag racer to go under 10 seconds on the quarter mile, but they do thing differently in Russia.

This footage taken by DragTimesInfo shows the awesome 950 horsepower Porsche 911 Turbo taking one the fastest of the Italian exotics at the Moscow Mile. The Aventador puts in a respectable time but is actually made to look slow by the Aventador.

At the mile finish line, the Aventador which is 250 horsepower down on its German rival is almost two seconds behind and we’d be raging at our bull if that happened to us. Fortunately, Underground Racing has just developed a turbo kit for the mighty V12, which reportedly pushes the output all the way to 1200 horsepower, more than enough to fight off the nippy German.
