OK Folks,...here it is, the first test drive!
Quickie article from C&D.
Enjoy....

 

Great article.... but it wasnt a "test drive" they just gathered info and wrote the article....

 

This is the first picture of the engine bay I have seen!

The second picture is just awesome in the pure snow!

 

Not enough to move. GT2 is the way to go...I wonder how far off that is.

eh 473. That number is just kinda low for my liking. I like the 502 torque.

 

Is this accurate? Wasn't the number supposed to be 480?

 

I read the article. I do not understand this "moments of boost" thing where the torque jumps to 502. How can we determine when it will be in the high boost and when it wont. 50lb/ft makes a big difference in the torque department.

 

Thanks for the scan.

 

well they said they clocked the car at 3.6 seconds and that is hella impressive!!!

 

Nothing like a Speed Yellow 911 in the snow,...then again, I might be biased!

 

Well When mine hits shores, I am sure the first thing I will do is try and mod it...Looks good and I cant wait, I gotta tell ya tho when I saw some other spy pics, I wasnt sure I made the right choice..Now I know I did

 

473 bhp
457-502 tq (don't really understand this too much in regards to the boost)
3400 lbs
.31 cd

Not bad, but, will it be enough to compete or beat the other markets? ( F430, Gallardo SE, C6 Z06)

 

Thanks for posting the article. The most impressive thing about the article is the 90lbs weight reduction. Quite a pleasant surprise.

BTW, Don't forget that Porsche is notorious for under estimating their power figures. Once this car officially comes out and is tested, it will definitely be the leader of the pack once again.

Thanks for the scan, good read!

 

That's exactly what I was thinking.
