For super-car enthusiasts out there, watch out for the new car Porsche will be releasing this year 2012, the 928. Well the car model isn’t that new since Porsche produced the 928 in an 18-year run that ended in 1995. But this year, the German automobile company is developing a direct rival for the front engine GTs against other automakers.
This new Porsche vehicle was built on a platform that will add force to Porsche’s ’09 Panamera 4-door sports sedan, unnamed 2-door will ride on a short wheelbase but will at least share 60% of its Porsche parts with the said sports sedan. The smaller wheelbase will lessen the coupe’s weight and thus improving its handling. However the said reduction will come at the cost of rear seat space.
Consumers of such coupe will be given an option to choose of Porsche’s next generation direct injected equipped V8 engines. Cayenne SUV will now get the new V8s. Expectedly, power is to be about 350 horse upward and with turbo version that would make it in excess of 500. It was also announced that there are no apparent plans for an all-wheel drive version this year. The new coupe will be rear-wheel drive, like what the 928 that headed it, with a transaxle assisting to stabilize weight distribution.
So for the price of the Porsche 928 will begin for about $100,000, of course with prices of higher-horsepower versions expanding into the exceptional $150,000 with additional stratosphere.
