All-wheel drive Carrera models used to be wider than their rear-driven siblings, but since the arrival of the , all models share the same shell. Historically available with a removable roof panel, modern versions have a clever folding mechanism. These days, Porsche uses it across multiple models. The strategy almost always involved taking an S-badged car and giving it some styling tweaks, a power-boost and standard-fit equipment like PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management.
Porsche has deviated from this strategy with the likes of the Cayman, Boxster and Panamera GTS models, which enjoy a greater degree of differentiation from their S siblings thanks to the fitting of new engines. The s, for instance, have ditched the 2. As with the GTS, the model will be available as a coupe, Cabriolet or Targa, in rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and with either a seven-speed manual or eight-speed automatic PDK gearbox.
Choice is king! A name first used in , the Carrera T Touring was reintroduced for the It was based on a standard Carrera but included various pieces of equipment normally reserved for the Carrera S. It was available only with a manual gearbox and included various light-weighting measures including thinner rear and side glass, less sound-proofing and an infotainment system delete.
This is where the waters muddy a little. Or turbos. However, the whole Carrera range is now turbocharged, and confusing matters further, the fully electric Taycan has Turbo and Turbo S derivatives. The Turbo S a standard Turbo will be joining the range soon develops bhp and will do mph in 2. The GT2 recipe is simple. Take the engine from a Turbo, leave behind the all-wheel drive system, and up the track focus.
GT2s were made from the generation through to the , with the also having the option of an even more focused, even more powerful GT2 RS. For the , there was no base GT2 model - high-power, rear-drive turbo heroics were available only via the hardcore GT2 RS pictured.
The GT3 badge first appeared on the generation The GT3 has been made more distinct from the Carrera range than ever, due to the retention of a naturally-aspirated engine. The time now is AM. All rights reserved. Digital Point modules: Sphinx-based search.

The displacement increased to cc in , with an additional 15hp. The engine went from a two, to three cylinder, which I understand is quieter, smoother, with more torque, and noticeably better gas mileage.
The also has the "new and improved" Since out here blended is almost all you can get that is what I use. There are a few stations that have pure fuel at 88 Octane and I use those when I find one. I don't notice any difference in how the feels and there is no difference in mpg for me. Now that I can read a good explanation, I would say that Bob is right on. Glad to see the information put up for all of us.
Did you have this stuff in your head, or did you have to do a little research? RE: Octane: There are many threads about it and the reading is mostly interesting. I have been a owner since they first came out. See my signature below if interested. Since day one, I have always put the highest octane available in my rides. Here, the choices are usually 87, 89, and We do not have ethanol added to our gas. The lightweight coupe finally had the pace it deserved and can be identified by vents in the nose and a NACA duct in the bonnet.
The Concept didn't really set hearts and minds racing, so never went further. Only 16 were made by the factory, but you could buy a kit of parts from Porsche to convert your own The won LeMans outright, and of the races entered, s won Powered by a twin-turbo 3. It raced until the FIA rules changed in To celebrate the nameplate, a new , based on the GT2 RS was launched in — only 77 were made.
It won both. A more potent version of the Turbo, the Carrera GT received an intercooler and change to compression ratio for kW. Wider bodywork and an intake scoop on the bonnet made it unique — just were made for the road, plus a further 59 GTS variants. It's… something. There' a bit of a story behind the design over at sel.
Powered by a single-turbo version of the flat-six, the car smashed the Ontario oval track record in testing, which caused Indy officials to request at the behest of some of the sport's well-known players that Porsche lower the boost pressure to 1.
Things soured from there with the relationship between Porsche, Interscope Racing and Indycar dissolving so much that Porsche pulled out before the event and the Type never raced. Think of it as a precursor to the Panamera Sport Turismo. The car resides in the Porsche Museum. And you get a type code! The is simply a as right-hand-drive.

It changed the performance SUV game and gave Porsche a renewed lease on life. Fun fact — the Cayenne was the first four-door production Porsche. Finished at LeMans in , and positions 1-through-8 and 10 at LeMans The lineup included the first GTS model, as well as the Transsyberia racing version of which 26 were made. The also served as the development base for the first Cayenne Hybrid, which would launch as a second-generation model.
Just road cars were built. At launch, it was the fastest street-legal production car and set the technology base for all Porsches to follow. I only understand as a successor. Rugbyman 1, posts months. I thought it used to be the case that they were named after design drawing numbers - ie was the th design drawing - then , , but I believe that stopped with Ady posts months.
