2012 Porsche 911 Targa Spied

Spy cam images of the forthcoming 2012 Porsche 911 Targa have surfaced. Though the car has been spotted wearing thick camouflage, we guess the impending Targa model would be equipped with a characteristic retractable roof that backs over the rear glass.

Frankly, we are confused as to whether this exactly is some form of a standard Carrera with the panoramic sunroof option. We would have to wait till we get more clues on that.

We also get to know that the next-generation 2012 Porsche 911 will come with a 7-speed manual gearbox. Let’s wait to hear more on the car from the makers.

Konigseder Tunes Up a Porsche Carrera GT

It’s a fact that although it has been discontinued, Porsche Carrera GT (the fastest Porsche ever) doesn’t need any more “upgrades”. But who are we to argue with the wicked folks from Konigseder? The Austrian tuner developed a body kit that includes a set of new wheels, a deeper exhaust, a new front end with a redesigned front bumper, and some chunky side skirts, the new orange GT is much wider which adds to its aggressiveness. Featuring the factory 5.7-litre naturally aspirated V10 engine that outputs some 612bhp (457kW) and 590Nm of torque, Konigseder managed to send it 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and to achieve a max speed of 330 km/h. Doesn’t sound bad at all, don’t you think? [via carscoop]
