Last year we achieved 12th place overall and 3rd place in the SP7 class and put our performance to the test at the highest level,� adds Ushida.

The 2011 race will take place on the unique Nordschleife on June 25th-26th. With 33 left-hand and 40 right-hand curves, the famous strip of asphalt snakes through the hilly Eifel landscape. In the 2010 Long-Distance Championship (VLN) held at the track, nine out of the ten races were won by the Porsche 911 GT3 R.

The 911 GT3 R is powered by a six-cylinder, naturally-aspirated boxer engine with four litres of displacement, which generates 480 horsepower (353 kW) at 7,250 rpm. Through a six-speed sequential dog-type gearbox, the power is transmitted to the rear axle. Traction control, the electronically controlled double de-clutching function and a specially tuned racing ABS make the 911 GT3 R a highly competitive vehicle.
Wheels: Front axle: One-piece, forged, lightweight alloy wheels (11J x 18 ET 35) and 290/660R18 tyres.
Rear axle: One-piece, forged, lightweight alloy wheels (13J x 18 ET 12.5) and 330/710R18 tyres.

About the ADAC Zurich 24-Hour Race:
The ADAC Zurich 24-Hour Race at the N�rburgring has been held on the approximately 25km long combination of the Nordschleife and Grand-Prix track since 1970. The long lap length makes a field of more than two hundred vehicles possible, which are driven by up to approximately 700 drivers. Due to the large starting field and more than 200,000 fans that line the track, the race is regarded by some as the largest motorsports event in the world. In 2011, it will be held from the 23rd to 26th June.

Welcome to the family

I would like to welcome two collectables that were recently acquired, to the garage... These two models hold their value well, pretty much a collectable if you find a mint condition one.

The F355 GTS. What's a GTS? Well, it's the ones with the "targa-style" roof and boy are these hard to come by.

Don't worry about the 550M and F430 next to you, I'll make sure you get driven too...

The 993 911 Turbo. This car is still being priced more than the newer 996 that replaced her. Why? Well, the type 993 911 Turbo's were the final air-cooled 911's.


"993 Turbo models, because of raw power, reliability and their nature as the final air-cooled 911 Turbo cars still command a massive premium."


She's back! Some shots of the Nur with the Instagram app on the iPhone 4...

CKD sport utility vehicle Ceyenne


India was lucky. Porsche will assemble CKD Ceyenne sport utility vehicle with a Volkswagen factory ride in the "State Extract" it. Other purposes, other than import duty tax extenuate, second most populous country in the world it is a potential market and accounted for 65 percent of global sales.

Sources who know the project, said the Indian vote is the most moderate decisions than to have to build new plants. CKD will cut the import tax burden to 40 percent rather than CBU which reached 113 percent. Ends, would be more competitive price and the sale could be improved. Last year, the Cayenne successfully negoitable 138 units and sales in 2010 increased to 250 units.

However, Porsche's party denies the existence of the plan. Production activities otherwise remain in Germany. Currently Cayenne is produced at the factory in Zuffenhausen and Leipzig Germany.

"Porsche will still have a German production standards and there are no plans Porsche assemble or manufacture in India," said Ashish Chordia, CEO of Porsche India, as reported by Autoevolution, yesterday.

This tax reduction measures such as the manufacturer is not the first time. In China, Cayenne engine capacity is derived from a standard 3.6 L V6 3.0 L V6. This is to reduce the tax burden alone. So, nothing's impossible.

MAISTO 1/18 PORSCHE 550A SPYDER DIECAST MODEL



Surely one of the most aesthetically pleasing cars ever built, the Porsche 550 A Spyder looks great in black with red upholstery. This detailed 1:18-scale replica has an exceptionally solid metal body. Although the detailing is plastic, there's not much of it on this pared-down fun machine. The steering wheel actually turns the front wheels, and the doors, hood, and rear compartment can be opened, the latter revealing engine, leather tool bag, and spare wheel. All four wheels have independent suspension springs. The car comes on a black, fake-wood display stand, but you can easily remove the two screws for some stylish, open-air motoring around your floor or desktop. --Richard Farr

2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR


Porsche has unveiled the 2011 911 GT3 RSR,which will debut on Dec. 11 at the Porsche R&D center in Weissach, Germany.

The new 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR comes with a 4.0-litre, 6-cylinder boxer engine that now develops 455 hp (355 kW) at 7,800 rpm and 450 Nm of torque. The maximum rev range of the 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR continues to be 9,400 rpm.

The transmission is a six-speed manual with sequential jaw-type shifting, a single-mass flywheel, hydraulic disengagement lever, a three-plate carbon-fiber clutch and a limited slip differential. The body consists mostly of steel but thanks to a series of weight saving modifications, the whole car tips the scales at just 2,689 pounds.

The 911 GT3 RSR also includes aero modifications, including a new front lip to increase downforce. The German automaker increased the size of the front wheels from 11 inches to 12 inches for better grip and less understeer.

The 911 GT3 RSR joins the 911 GT3 R and the 911 GT3 Cup at the very top of Porsche Motorsport�s lineup and costs a mere EUR 410,000 plus country-specific value added tax. If you already own a GT3 RSR and want the extra power and aerodynamic mods, but don�t want to spend almost half a million euros on a new car, the modifications are available as a kit for GT3 RSR cars from the 2010 season.
