Rumors claim that a project team in the Porsche development center curently works on a successor based on the 2003 Carrera GT. The basic techical data that currently rumors.. *closed Coupe based on the Carrera GT chassie *weight reduction 8-12% goal are 1270kg *lower consuption 14% minimum by much higher power output *better drive performance *AWD *engine based on the old V10..6.0l V10 twinturbo with 750hp at 8200rpm and 740 Nm at 5800rpm *fuel direct injection *7 speed DSG *wheelbase 2730mm *length 4700mm *wide 1920mm *high 1250m *topspeed 370-400km/h (different gearing avaible) Anyone have more info if this is infact the replacement?
I think it would be cool if they did a Turbo AWD car, they already created perfection with the first one, I can't find any faults on the current car. The CGT2 would be a compliment to the current CGT, not a successor = Better for CGT resale. I look forward to sort of a Porsche version of the Veyron with PDK, more exotic looks, much lighter and slightly less power but with similar performance figures.
Thats a joke right? They have held their value SIGNIFICANTLY better than other cars within the same genre.
+1 Aside from the Enzo, Carrera GT values have totally outlasted like-priced contemporaries (SLR, Murcielago, 575). With that said, I was told in 2007 by a general manager at a Porsche dealership that he'd be extremely surprised to see a Carrera GT successor "any time soon" due to the effect it would have on Carrera GT values.
Those renderings were shown in Road&Track magazine either last year or the year before, I have the article but I don't remember what issue. The car has a slim chance to make it to production.
i was told this summer by a porsche dealer manager that if your not to picky about color you can still get a new CGT
No. Have you taken a look at values lately? There was a very good thread on their pricing not too long ago. The prediction was their price would start with a 2 by the end of this year. And it wasn't 2 mil.
They will also be 5 years old by then...Look at the other cars within the genre, they have been in the lower half of the 2's for over a year now....The only one that i can find currently under 330 has been salvaged and "upgraded". Relative to the MSRP, they have held their value significantly better than any competitor.
We did an In/Out on a nicely put together CGT , low miles, etc... sale price was upper $3xx,000.00 ( within last 30days ) FWIW S
DSG= VW invention awd= Porsche TT= First road car Porsche Lots Porsche power Rear drive and shifting in the hands of non-experienced drivers is a death sentence. For the purest there is no alternative then again most will hardly drive this thing on the road. Still does not come close to a 917 when we are talking perfection.
No way that gets the greenlight in the current economy. I just don't see it happening. Also, it sounds like it would basically abandon everything that makes the GT special IMHO
I don't think that this would be an accurate "leak" if nothing else, it is there to throw off the media. I wouldn't be surprised if PAG are working on something that is aimed at being released "shortly" after the market turn-around.... such things are hard to predict. The CGT was the perfect marriage between driver, chassis, and engine response. A next-gen PAG supercar would further the driving experience, with technological innovation. For example PDK would likely only be included if comparable manual boxes were "heavier." or at only slight disadvantage of weight and reliability. I'd expect more to come down the line from the LMP2 race car into a street vehicle. Rumors also exist that Audi are going to be heading out of LMS/ ALMS competition, where Porsche will fill the gap... conveniently... for the next decade. Porsche will not race against Audi, and visa-versa.
I think the 959 had PDK. On of the first, if not first, to use this concept. VW's name for it is DSG.
The 962 had PDK; which worked, but was unreliable for the course of an endurance race for several years. So much so, that only one factory car was run with PDK. The 959 never had PDK installed.
