A mysterious new Porsche 911 has been spied
undergoing testing in Germany. Based on the 911 GT3, the prototype
has a familiar design but lacks the GT3's massive rear wing. This suggests the
car could be a special edition in the same vein as the 911 R.
While it's unlikely the model will be an updated
version of the 911 R, as that was a special edition which was limited to 911
units, Porsche Exclusive Director of Special Vehicles Boris Apenbrink has
previously teased plans to introduce a new special edition later this year.
There's no word on what will power the car, but the
911 GT3 has a naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine that develops
500 hp and 459 Nm of torque. It enables the model to
accelerate from 0-96 km/h in as little as 3.2 seconds before hitting at top
speed of up to 317 km/h.
If the car is indeed a new special edition, expect
to cost more than the 911 GT3 which starts at US$ 143,600.
