Porsche GT1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article contains information about a scheduled or anticipated future automobile. It may contain preliminary or speculative information, and may not reflect the final version of the vehicle.

The Porsche GT1 is the successor to Porsche Carrera GT rumoured to be released in 2009 [1][2]. As originally reported by Autocar the GT1 will feature new technologies as well as previously developed ones for the Porsche Carrera GT. Testing of engines for the GT1 have already begun, although it is unclear whether Porsche will decide to use a modified version of the Carrera GT or Cayenne S's V8 powerplant.

The vehicle had been dubbed the 'Bugatti Beater' by many websites due to the rumour that it would be in direct competition for title of the World's fastest production car against the 254mph Bugatti Veyron, however, the Shelby SSC Aero beat this top speed with 256mph.
