2007 Porsche Rinspeed 911 Turbo Le Mans 600 The Swiss Porsche specialist Rinspeed launches its new and exclusive "Le Mans" line for the latest Porsche 997 Turbo models. Aerodynamic Accessories The "Le Mans" front skirt with integrated carbon splitters appears eye-catching and produces a higher aerodynamic down force at the front axle. This increase results in a better road handling. The bigger and re-shaped air intakes for the radiators and the brakes improve the cooling of them considerably. Additional headlights with day light driving lights and the inboard moved fog lights guarantee a sporty yet elegant appearance. The newly - especially for the Turbo developed - side skirts connect optically the front and rear fenders in a maximal way. It follows the new body lines harmonically. Further appearance improvement is achieved by the Carbon covers for the rear view mirrors. The "Le Mans" rear skirt with integrated exhaust tips also increases the down force on the rear axle and esthetically supports the high performance exhaust system with integrated metal catalytic converters. Eye-catching yet not separable element is the rear wing which sits tightly above the rear hatch. The wing profile is also available in a Carbon finish. More Power For the first time the Swiss tuner has also addressed the engine output. The 3.6-liter power pack produces in the "Le Mans" breathtaking 600 bhp (441 kW) at 6700 rpm, the torque is increased to almost unbelievable 590 lb-ft at 4000 rpm. The engine conversion includes two special VTG turbo chargers, a new carbon air intake ram-air system with sport air filters, improved intercoolers as well as a high performance exhaust system with metal catalytic converters. These modifications allow the Rinspeed "Le Mans" to be accounted amongst one of the fastest street legal sports cars. The sprint from 0-62 mph is achieved by the super sportsman in just 3.3 seconds, the 124 mph mark is reached in 10.9 seconds and the top speed is clocked at 213 mph. Further equipment of the "Le Mans" consists in an adjustable suspension which is based on the original PASM damper system. It has been developed in cooperation with Bilstein and assures a precise road handling in the top class. Maximum braking is achieved by an efficient and stable high performance brake kit with 8 pistons aluminum calipers and 380 mm x 34 mm at the front axle and 6 pistons calipers with 360 mm x 32 mm at the rear axle. A close contact to the road is ensured by the typical and well sold Rinspeed 20 inch aluminum wheels in the C5/1 design. The rear wheels have been widened to the size of 12 x 20" especially for the Turbo. The tires sizes of 245/30 R20 at the front axle and 325/25 R20 at the rear axle hug the road for sufficient grip for the Swiss super sportsman. rsportscars.com

Lots of infomations have been floating around of the exact specs. As far as I know, Tremendous amount of torque ->YES. 4 litre engine -> NO. More likely 3.7l-3.8l. An 4.0 Litre six cylinder engine is plain silly for efficiency. The biggest capacity "efficient" six cylinder engine today is of Porsche 911 Carrera S, 3.8 Litre horizontal six. Note this is an N/A engine. Ford's straight sixes are in a different league. Any larger displacement you would go V8 i.e. RS4 4.2FSI, F430 4.3l V8, NEW M3's 4.0L V8 and etc...

Recommend Bodyshop/painter On North Shore
BaysideBlue replied to BaysideBlue's topic in New South Wales
Thanks for the replies. Heard a lot about Vision. How're their prices? Would prefer a small business though. -
Hello Everyone, Need to find a Bodyshop/Painter that does a good job fitting and painting bodykits in Lane Cove or North Sydney areas. I've got a set of front bar and side skirts sending from Queensland, made of fibre glass so might need modifying before fitting. Prefer someone who's experienced and are willing to work with fibre glass parts. Regards

What Not To Do When Trying To Avoid A Kangaroo
BaysideBlue replied to ProphetR33's topic in General Automotive Discussion
good to know everyone survived. bad luck with car. next time try to look further ahead when driving on country road. if see a kangaroo, brake as hard as possible without losing control and if lucky you would be able to stop just before hitting it. otherwise take it home and chuck it on the barbie -
the first one does look like a soarer from the side. awesome job they did on the r34 conversion. i like.

Thinking Of Buying A Porsche Boxster
BaysideBlue replied to Smurf's topic in General Automotive Discussion
A tuned 997 GT3RS will eat your worked R34 GTR around most race tracks. Do you know GT3 is faster than 911 turbo? except on the straight. Porsche makes a lot more great cars than just 911 turbo, try GT3s, GT2s, RSs, etc. -
