Anyone read German? http://www.auto-motor-sport.de:/d/57733

 

It's an '08 model with 8 and 10 cylinder versions available potentially. The price won't be under (or about) 220,000 Euro's and that it will be a front engined GT car. Motors from Cayenne and Carerra GT at 340, 450, and 612 PS. It looks like they're saying production of about 20,000 per year in Leipzig. There is something about a production partner (with o without?) I cannot make out in my limited German.

Perhaps one of our friends from Duetschland can translate better for us?

They harken back to the cancelled model 989 of the late 80's and early 90's in evocation of this potential car. They say it will be about 4.9 meters long and have steel body work and lighter weight chassis materials. The motor is guessed to be 4.5 liters or so.

It looks pretty cool to me for when I'm too annuated to push a clutch around all day. Which should happen any day now!

 

Not the best translation, but should get the point across..


Porsche: Four-door GT Coupé as the fourth series
The signs concretize themselves that 2008 a fourth model row of Porsche come. Planned is a Coupé with four moving in opposite directions opening doors. As motorizing eight and ten-cylinders are intended.
Porsche presses further powerfully on the gas. 2008 are to go fourth series to the start, which are produced in the work Leipzig. A four-door GT Coupé concerns with front engine and rear-wheel drive. A all-wheel-driven version is to follow later. As power transmission switching and automatic transmissions with in each case six courses are intended. Special Gag: The doors open moving in opposite directions.
20,000 units annually - unit price starting from 220.000 euro
Pointed-confined of this, which is to be equipped with eight and ten-cylinder engines (340, 450 and 612 HP) from the Cayenne and the Carrera GT, Porsche wants to set the ambitionierte number of items off from 20.000 units per year. Purchase price: not under 220.000 euro.

Possibly Porsche for the realization of the project still another co-operation partner looks for itself - allegedly the GT counts itself in addition, in self-direction.

The new development possesses one about 4.90 meters long steel body also lightweight construction-added, which is not only to offer four persons place, but also a trunk volume of 450 litres.



Large Porsche Titelstory now in car engine and sport number 9
1993 had geliebaeugelt Porsche already once with a Viertuerer (project 989), by which even three 1:1-Modelle were built. For lack of sales prospects the 989 never one realized.

Read everything over the GT Coupé and the further Porsche plans with 911, Boxster and Cayenne in car engine and sport number 9, which is starting from Wednesday (14 April) in the trade.

 

The front looks really hot

 

220,000 Euros = +/- $270,000 =

 

Why is this car called a coupe if it has four doors? Did anyone else notice the placement of the rear door handle? That would be pretty neat having suicide doors on a production car.
