Thanks to "Boxtser Coupe GTS" over at rennteam for scanning this in from Christophorus!



It seems Frankfurt 2013 is the official reveal date.

 

i'll add as of yesterday :

4.6 liter V8 with 550hp
2 electric motors with a total of 230hp
Total :740hp+
7 speed PDK
dry weight is lower than 1675 kilos
4643mm long
1940mm wide

costs US$1.35 mil (all tax and plates paid) in my country, likely US$ 650-700k in the states.
i'll have detailed specs later.
besides the $$$, it isnt that exclusive to get, i mean i can get one by 2015, start delivering by late 2014.

 

Hi John,

Thanks for the Info..sound great - but what Im a bit puzzled is the dry weight...in normal specification that would probably add up to 1700Kg - or in best case 1675 (as you mention "lower than 1675)..what Im trying to say that the 918 will be about 300Kg heavier than a GT2RS or similiar 997 GT variant. 300Kg is a hell of a lot...

Just for comparison, an Italian Magazine did a test of the new aventador..it couldnt be really faster than a stock 997 GT2 (no RS)...simply because its so heavy..1800Kg..

 

Seen this vid?

Lamborghini Aventador vs 911 GT2 RS vs Mercedes SLS - YouTube

 

I spoke in depth to them at Weissach on a recent trip there . I will not be buying this vehicle , it is too heavy and underpowered for the price . The new F70 and the Maclaren f1 replacement will eat this alive .
It hurts me to say it but facts are facts

 

Hi wtdoom,

If I had the money I wouldnt buy it either,the weight has shocked me a bit too..

Besides, the C-GT - is raw and basic - and very beautiful..more beautiful then the 918..so I would always opt for the C-GT.

Congratulations for your black beauty..I wouldnt mind if you could ever take me for a little ride in it..I have a GT2 and GT3, I have drivn the GT2RS, I know other Porsche supercars too..but never have I been able to sit in a C-GT..

 

YES - but I was talking track time...not straight line speed..

We should maybe google this test..I havent had the time so far...

 

Get to SPA in 21 or 22 of May If you are not too far . Im there in the CGT and 993 rsr as well as a race prepared 964 be my pleasure to drive you around .

 

I was in Weissach last August for the same reason and I came to the same conclusion. I did not order the the 918 Spyder. I do not know about the new F70 but the fact is that 2103/14 horizon is to far for me and God knows what's the technology will be then!

 

Yes we were there for the launch and show events too . They were so nice it was a pity the car isnt more exciting .

I hear the F70 will be 1200 (ish) kg and 800+bhp .
Thats considerably faster than 918 . You can bet Ron wont allow the F1/2 to be slower than that .
Porsche cocked up , who wants a 4wd uber Prius ?
