This is the Porsche:

But, won't be out until 2003, and I'm sure the projected cost will be way into the six figure range. Looks like an awfully sleek, low-slung coupe, with 700 horsepower to back up its appearance.

The car has seen the light of day. It sports a v10 instead of V8, and it has 550 BHP. Top speed is 205 mph. It is called the Porsche Carrera GT. The 980 is just a rumor, that Porsche made to possibly cover up the Carrera GT project. That car will probably reach production in 2003 if nothing goes wrong.

The GT is still just a show car/prototype at this point, yes? I had some kid babbling to me just yesterday that a buddy of his that works at an import dealership had gotten to drive one. I thought "yeah right," but didn't say anything to vocalize my disbelief.

But there are no GT's that people can get this hands on yet, even for a test drive, unless they have connections in very high places in Porsche's hierarchy.. or am I incorrect?

there's already a thread about 980 :D

the 980 & the "new" 914 were all covers & will never be priduced. The pictures were put out to get everyonesattention from the Surprise Carrera GT.

Yea they where never made and never will be made but the 980 sure looks good.

I'd heard that the 980 will be produced in a few years. I'm sure I heard wrong, but that's what I heard.

What's the new 914? Any links for me, or any pictures?

enzo@af go to http://www.flat-6.net will you be able to find out what it looks like there. It is a smaller verison of the Boxster cheaper, less power,and a lot smaller.

I think Porsche actually had it/let it published in R&T.

I went to flat6.net and they didn't have anything under concepts or under production 914's.

Here is the link. http://www.flat-6.net/new_another.html

Sorry
It was on the side of the webpage.

We can only wish for the 980.
But it is only a design venture at the moment. Porsche has to watch the market and see if there is a demand. There is a working prototype but that is all there is...

Unless that mentioned person works at the Stuttgard test facility in Germany...no one has driven the 980.

Lets's see what happens in a few years though...the Viper was a hit!
