Based off of Stoppies "OMG the 458 is insane" thread......and off his comment of "Porsche needs to come out with something to compete with the 458".......i give you this question:

What would the car be - in your mind - that Porsche would/could build that would fight the 458???

Ill go first.


Cayman Platform. 4.0 GT3 RS motor. PDK Trans from Turbo S with updated software. 3 RS suspension. GT2RS interior bits mixed with Turbo S interior bits. PCCB standard. Carbon Fiber everything. Special front bumper (integrated LED's) --- CF bonnet --- side exit exhaust (ala SLR) --- complete carbon undertray (CGT).

There, that should do it. But will they do it for under/around 300k???

 

^sounds like you just spec'ed out a RUF CTR3.

 

Sounds like a parts bin exercise.

 

That sounds like one hell of a fun car to drive!

I bet a few Porsche engineers have a few crazy projects like that in their garages.

 

Gents , Porsche is working on a " mid engined supercar to sit above the gt2rs and below the 918 . This will be a mid engined 458 and Maclaren rival ".
It will have a carbon tub and will cost around 200 000 GBP
Currently being developed under the 961 name .

Lock up your daughters

 

So nobody else has a dream Porsche that they want to share?




I sorta did. And i love that car. But they arent PDK (from what i know) and obv it isnt a Porsche - its a RUF


Well, due to my lack of skills and resources i used what i had available to me - and isnt every car in a way, a "parts bin exercise" by the company that creates it?


Can you imagine what they have sitting around that place?!

 

^^I have a dream Porsche I want to share!

Heres my wishlist:

• Manual Transmission
• (or cup car style sequential adapted for street use)
• 500hp (or more) NA FLAT 6 (or flat 8)
• RWD
• Carrera GT based tub
• Leather/Alcantara interior
• Ultra light sport buckets that comply with U.S regs.
• light weight everything
• Sub 2,900 lbs gross weight
• Centerlocking Wheels
• Iron brakes standard
• 12 o'clock ring
• PCM delete (optional)
• Carrera GT style center console
• short wheelbase
• Coupe/Spyder models available
• Spyder model with Boxster Spyder style top
• loud, visceral and forceful exhaust
• carbon fiber undertrays
• Nordschleife tuned everything
• carbon fiber everywhere
• 918/Carrera GT inspired styling, but more aggressive
• minimal standard equipment
• optional ascot brown driving leather
• a Porsche crest

I'm sure theres more...

 

I'd be fine with a GT2RS in my garage.

 

Just throw the CGT back into production...

 

^ you'd be mistaken if you think the CGT beats the 458. They're pretty close in straight line too.
