New Porsche is blistering fast! 0-200km/h in 10sek is as fast or faster then an enzo

Its funny how the Jaguar is much cheaper than the V12 Vantage and is faster by 0.5 of a second to 200kmh. Speeds 120kmh and above the XKR shows how Forced induction rules, look at the torque of that thing.

I think the new XKR is understimated when it comes to straight lie performance, it is really fast!

just take a look at this

Yes I saw this video, I've got a Pre-facelift 2007 model XKR..Its an amazing car. It supposed to be limited but I had it de-limited and instead of 250 it does 275kmh now bone stock. I am not a fan of the changes outside on the facelift, It looks too much what is nice the XKR-S kit for the exterior on the previous model.

I can modify it and make it 510hp like the new XKR but instead I modified my SLK.

Nice to see that even in a german magazine the new Turbo wasn't able to beat the Nissan GT-R which has been on the market for quite a while now. Apart from the acceleration the TT has nothing on the GT-R, even on the handling course. Porsche still struggling to beat the japanese, even with cars that cost pretty much the double.

Sorry buddy but you are wrong.

Put the same sticky Dunlop Tyres on the Turbo instead of the Bridgstones, and
the the GTR wouldn't see what way the Turbo went !!!

Tyres make a huge difference.

911 TT = win

even though the R8 V10 and the V12 Vantage look way better

the GTR may be the best when considered from a scientific POV,but when it comes to emotions it does not much for me...
