Porsche Carrera GT1


This is an idea of what the supposed upcoming Bugatti Veyron beating Porsche GT1 might look like. If it gets the green light it expect to see it around 2009. The GT1 is expected to be a 950bhp street legal version of Porsche's future Le Mans racer. The beast is expected to use the Carrera GT's carbon fiber frame with a new nose and tail. The GT1's top speed should be about 254 mph, 2 mph more than the Veyron.

No one except people at Porsche knows whether the GT1's powerplant will be a turbocharged version of the Carrera GT's V10 or a bored out, twin turbo version of the Cayenne S's V8, or something else. It seems likely that Porsche wants to take the podium of fastest car from the Bugatti Veyron. I wait the outcome.

I've never ever been partial to Porche. But I have to say that if i ever got one that it would definately be a carerra GT as they don't look anything like the typical Porsche shape and design. Porsche always seem to say that their new versions have a new body but where only talking milimetres where to the naked eye there's not much at all. The Carerra Gt's are on a mark of their own. This latest version has style over the predecesor which was more gutsy looking

Between this Porsche and the Veyron, I'll take the Porsche anytime. At least it looks like a car (and a rather good looking one) without a front that might scare pedestrians into the nearest bush.

Oh Tony, having seen the Bugatti in the flesh, I can tell you it is a good looking car.....
