700 hp Porsche 980 to be Unveiled? Sources have recently confirmed reports that Porsche is preparing a limited edition supercar that will be a direct rival to McLaren's F1 and Ferrari's F50. Our sources report that the Porsche 980 (as it will most likely be named) will be powered by a twin turbo V8 that will produce around 700hp. Top speed
is set to be as high as 360km/h (220mph) !
The photo on the left is a first look on what is set to be one of the fastest cars of all times and certainly the
fastest Porsche of all times. Production date will most probably be sometime in 2003.The war of the supercars seems to really be heating up as by 2003 we are also expecting Ferrari's F60 (successor of the F50),
Mercedes/McLaren's SLR and Audi's 16 Cylinder supercar.
Stay tuned to FantasyCars.com as we will be reporting more details on all these amazing new projects as soon as we get them. |
