stanski Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Interesting? But tell me how a 500bhp v8 can had sod all emmisions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5259 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 priuses (priae? prii? ) are bloody dangerous - 1 nearly killed me in yokohama cos you can't hear the buggers coming They should be fitted with a noise emitter to sound like there's a lorry reversing all the time on grounds of pedestrian safety and it might stop all the idiots from buying them for totally flawed "green" reasons I'm sure the real engine in the porker will be loud enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty78 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I want one Can't afford the hefty price tag though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The thing I'm most shocked about is Porsche have actually managed to design something sexy! The alloys play tricks on my eyes though, are they clear?? By the time it reaches production it'll probably just look like a 911 again though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 It looks okay. it might stop all the idiots from buying them for totally flawed "green" reasons At least you guys are a bit closer to France when the electric batteries reach the end of their life. Unless there's somewhere else now recycling them? And just think we're all supposed to use less power, so go plug in your electric car now.

srobrien Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 78mpg? Fair enough if you are pottering around town maybe but if you have a car with 500bhp then your gonna be well over the rev band that the v8 takes over pretty much the whole time. More like 15mpg if that R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Looks like a mildly tweaked Carrera GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
