The Panamera is a diesel engine to a long-distance champion. With a 80-liter tank, the sports car is far according to the manufacturer for 1,200 kilometers - enough for a trip from Berlin to Bologna without refueling. The consumption is combined with the optional low-resistance tires at 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers are that corresponds to CO2 emissions of 167 grams per kilometer. If the standard tires used, the consumption is higher by 0.2 liter diesel, the CO2 level rises by five grams...
The new Panamera is the "diesel" logo visible on the front doors. For the price of 80 183 € you can buy the standard version. By comparison, the second fuel-saving models in the Cayenne family, the Panamera Hybrid S, is not due for at least 106 185 €. The Vebrauch in this case is 7.1 liters of fuel.

There’s a lot to like about the new GT3 RS including the fact that it is fitted with the largest engine ever to be mounted on a factory-approved 911; a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six unit that develops 500 horsepower at 8,250 rpm, 50 horses more than the standard GT3 RS. It is also the most powerful 911 naturally aspirated engine with 125 horsepower per liter. The engine carries the crankshaft from the 911 GT3 RSR racing car, while the forged pistons' connecting rods are made from titanium.
The impressive output and peak torque of 460 Nm (339 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm help the sports car achieve stunning performance, such as the Nürburgring-Nordschleife lap time of 7 minutes 27 seconds, 1.7 seconds faster than the Carrera GT and 6 seconds faster than the GT3 RS. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a six-speed sports transmission with gearing designed for the circuit. Porsche says the car sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and to 200 km/h (124 mph) in under 12 seconds.
The 911 GT3 RS 4.0 uses motor racing suspension components and weight-saving materials such as carbon fiber for the bonnet and front wings, plastic for the rear windows, light bucket seats and even weight-optimized carpets. As a result, the car tips the scales at just 1,360 kilograms (2,998 lbs) with a full tank of fuel. The power-to-weight ratio is an amazing 2.72 kg/hp, as very few production cars drop under the threshold of 3 kilograms per horsepower.
On the outside, the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 is finished in white as standard and comes with optional “RS 4.0” decals. It is also distinguished by the wide track and low stance, a large rear wing with adapted side plates and central twin tailpipes. The front bumper sports lateral air deflection vanes, which make their appearance for the first time on a production Porsche. They increase downforce on the front axle and in combination with the rear wing push the car onto the road with an additional 190 kg (426 lbs) of aerodynamic force at top speed.
The car will launch in Germany in July 2011 with a starting price of €178,596, taxes included. In the U.S., the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 will cost $185,000 (excluding destination charges) and will go on sale in late 2011. Production will be limited to just 600 units worldwide.

A few hours after the official announcement, here's the video of the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS 500-hp 4.0. It seems yet another refrain of every new model, but Porsche ensures that this version in a limited edition of 600 copies (and 180,000 euros) and 911 closer to a road racing car that has ever been proposed on the market thanks to the close relationship with the 911 GT3 RSR. If the crankshaft is derived from the RSR and some components of the 4-liter boxer, derived from the GT2 RS Road widened wheel arches, front fenders and carbon fiber glass and Perspex, to hold the weight of 1360 kg quota. The GT3 RS 4.0 touches 100 km / h acceleration in 3.9 seconds and 200 km / h in less than 12 seconds and clocked a time of 7 minutes and 27 seconds at the Nurburgring.

Limited to 918 copies
Production is the future athletes in a factory-like production at Porsche's main plant in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. Will start production at 18 September 2013 - in the American date notation that is 9 / 18. For too long, should potential customers with the purchase but have not time. To increase even more exclusivity, limited production of hybrid Porsche racer to 918 copies.
Very similar to the study
The roots lie in the 918 Spyder and Carrera GT race car 917 and the RS Spyder. The design of the hybrid car is very closely based on the concept car at the Geneva Motor Show 2010th The two-seater is built in the serial version on a monocoque carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Unlike the study has the super sports car with a manual roof system. The removable roof halves can be placed in the trunk forward.

We may be more than two years ahead of the production launch of Porsche’s new 918 Spyder, but that isn’t stopping the Stuttgart automaker from putting up a price tag and at the same time, begin accepting orders on its upcoming plug-in hybrid supercar.
The 918 Spyder will be Porsche’s most expensive model ever with prices in the USA, excluding destination and handling chargeς, starting at $845,000 (€598,000), and in Europe from €645,000 ($911,400) subject to VAT and country-specific charges.
As an extra treat, those who place an order for the 918 Spyder will also be eligible to buy a new special edition version of the 911 Turbo S series, more of which we’ll tell you about in our next post.
Production of the 918 Spyder will take place at Porsche’s Zuffenhausen plant in Germany starting from September 18, 2013, with delivery of the first vehicles to commence in November 2013. Porsche plans to limit production of the two-seater model to no more than 918 units worldwide. According to Porsche, “the earlier a customer orders his vehicle, the earlier it will be delivered, as production is initialized in the same sequence in which orders are received”.
The 918 Spyder is closely modeled after the concept study seen at last year’s Geneva Motor Show. However, the production version of the two-seater ditches the full open-top treatment for a manual roof system with removable roof panels that can be stowed in the front luggage compartment. Other changes visible from the official sketches include the addition of exterior mirrors and the elimination of the side exhaust tail pipes.
The flagship Porsche supercar is built around a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic monocoque and features a plug-in hybrid drivetrain that comprises of a V8 gasoline engine with a displacement exceeding four liters and output of more than 500HP plus two electric motors – one each on the front and rear axle – with a joint output of at least 218HP.
The V8 engine transfers its power to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual clutch transmission.
The electric motors are fed via a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery that can be charged from a conventional domestic power socket, delivering a range in excess of 25 km (16 miles) in the NEDC on purely electric power. Porsche said the charging time depends on the country-specific mains network, being approximately three hours in Germany. The automaker added that a quick charging option is planned to reduce charging time yet further.
According to Porsche, the 918 Spyder’s combined total fuel consumption in the European driving cycle is estimated at 3.0 lt/100 km (94 mpg UK / 78.4 mpg US.), equating to CO2 emissions of 70 g/km (112 g/mile). Porsche said official EPA fuel economy figures for the US model will be announced just before the first customer cars begin arriving near the end of 2013.
The 918 Spyder can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of more than 320 km/h (199 mph). Porsche said the Spyder will be able to manage a lap of the Nürburgring in “less than seven minutes and 30 seconds”, compared to the Carrera GT which needs seven minutes and 32 seconds. The top speed on purely electric power is 150 km/h (94 mph).
