For the past few years the mantra has been ‘green, greener, greenest’ and this refrain will surely echo through the halls of the IAA, the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011. But the spirit of green cannot completely eradicate the traditional big horsepower engines. We take a look at a couple of the new sports car models to be unveiled this year at the IAA.
Not familiar with ‘Reil Performance’? Hardly surprising since they have not been around very long. But with their Porsche 911 GT3 they could become soon much better known, particularly with a very famous name in the tuning business behind them.
996 and 997? They were not real 911s! At least that’s what die-hard Porsche fans tend to say. But help is at hand. Singer Vehicle Design builds a 911 with retro styling and an air cooled motor but also packed with the most modern technology.
The new Porsche 911 Carrera has not yet turned up in dealers’ showrooms but already the Stuttgart car maker is presenting the open version. Just after the Geneva motor show in March 2012 the Cabriolet will join the new Coupé of the type 991 series.
Thirty-eight years old but more lively than ever… DP Motorsport has turned this 1973 Porsche 911 into an ultra-light carbon fibre racer and with a whole lot of power on board.
