Porsche is a name in the automotive world that needs no special introduction. There is probably no person in this world who has not heard of him. He produced a series of iconic models that are among the most sought-after collector's items. Although to the eye of the uninitiated it will seem that every Porsche is almost the same as any other, but for car lovers, this German manufacturer from Stuttgart has signed many engineering excesses. So many that it was hard to choose just 10! Here are the 10 most legendary Porsches of all time.
Porsche
The Porsche Mission E concept car is the result of thinking that if we had endless money and all the knowledge at our disposal, we would... German engineers were in this skin, so this is a luxury sports sedan with 600 horses, which powered by electricity, armed to the teeth with the best they have. They pushed the drive to the 919 Hybrid race car, while for the construction they looked to the production hybrid Spyder 918 and its version for the Le Mans endurance race, and they also removed the battery. Two built-in electric motors produce 600 horsepower, and it accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. Oh, and it charges faster than a Tesla!
The legendary Porsche 911 Carrera has gone under the knife again, but the changes have to be looked for almost in broad daylight to discover them. Well, all of you who follow the 911 Carrera in a little more detail will still quickly notice the details that indicate that in front of you is the 2016 Porsche Carrera 911. Under the hood, on the other hand, the Carrera has not only undergone cosmetic revisions, but tectonic shifts took place there, at least as far as engines are concerned. Also, this super sports car is no longer a "paraplegic", as it will now be able to steer with all four wheels.
Car brands often use carbon fibers in concept vehicles, but in practice they reduce the weight of athletes, improve driving characteristics and reduce fuel consumption. The boutique company Vitesse | is also engaged in this type of business AuDessus, which transforms the most prestigious cars in the world into carbon fiber. And from head to toe. His "creation" is already worn by Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and McLaren models.
You may think that it is difficult to compile a slightly more extensive list of super sports cars, the price of which is counted in hundreds of thousands, if not millions of euros. Well, not really. The list could easily be much longer, and considering the number of millionaires today, which are historically high, this segment of cars has never been more prosperous. It is therefore more difficult to compile a list of cars that are actually worth their price. We have collected 30 of the best of all time.
Think of all the dream cars you can own and you get just an approximation of The Pinnacle Portfolio, a collection of cars the world has never seen. In it we find the Ferrari Enzo, which was given to Pope John Paul II as a gift, the very first Bugatti Veyron produced and the Saleen S7 from the movie Iron Man. But this is only the tip of the iceberg of the cars that were auctioned at RM Sotheby's.
In the ecstasy of presenting special versions of the models, Porsche stopped and offered a special version of the boxster, where it pulled the name spyder out of mothballs. This name already adorned the cult model 718 Spyder, which in the 60s of the last century turned the heads of visitors to the most prestigious fashionable resorts.
With the 911 GT3 RS, Porsche has completely blurred the line between racing car and road car, which it has achieved through a combination of power, improved aerodynamics and a reduction in weight, thus walking the fine line of legal but still usable on public roads. It was presented at the 85th Geneva Motor Show, where it moved from the Nürburgring track, where it set Porsche's best time of 7 minutes 29 seconds.
For a long time, the Porsche Cayman lived in the shadow of its big brother - the 911 model. At Porsche, they realized that the Cayman's mid-engine design and small dimensions were the ideal recipe for an extremely fast supercar. Since it is difficult to have two champions in the same house, they delayed the introduction of the most toxic model for an extremely long time. The GT4 model with which the Cayman becomes a serious competitor to the big brother 911.
For those who find the Porsche 918 spyder too expensive, but still want an exclusive "Porsche", then the limited edition Porsche 911 GTS club coupe is perfect for them. The version was prepared by the Germans to mark the 60th anniversary of its involvement in the "new continent", where 59 examples (plus one reserved for porsche club america - PCA) of this exclusive sports coupe will also be sold.
Porsche decided to show off its red version of the Cayenne GTS even before its official presentation at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2014. The abbreviation GTS comes from the famous 904 Carrera GTS model from way back in 1963 and for the brand since then it represents distinctly sporty model derivatives. Since the Cayenne in Slovenia represents the vehicle that we often meet on the roads, we allow ourselves to dream in red.
Porsche is synonymous with speed and tradition. His 911 is considered the best sports car of all time, and if we dig into the history books of motoring for achievements, it would be like hitting a golden vein. The history of motoring is imbued with the successes of this German car manufacturer, which grew out of a design bureau. Despite its reputation, we bet you don't know everything about it yet.
