Porsche rumored to work on a faster car than the Porsche 911 GT2

Porsche is tired of Ferrari and Lamborghini having their own way. Now that McLaren joined the game with the MP4-12C the Germans feel a disarmed.

Rumor has it that they are now planning on making a new car, one that should compete with the Italian and British heroes while still making financial sense.

2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

That would mean the new Porsche would make a new car that’s faster and more powerful than the already impressive Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

It would mean that Porsche is making a really serious road car, possibly mid-engined, with a price tag somewhere between 250.000 dollars and the $845.000 one would do without in order to buy a Porsche 918 Spyder.

As you’d imagine, Porsche isn’t yet ready to give us any details on something of the likes but there is one slight concern to be seen in this new model’s idea.

2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

The new rumor speaks nothing of a model that’s genuinely faster than the Porsche 911 GT2 RS but just more expensive.

Speculation planes are endless and while I’d love to see a Porsche Carrera GT successor it is more likely that the Germans will make a totally different animal.

I’m thinking something along the lines of the Mercedes SLR McLaren. Incredibly fast in a straight line, decent on the twisty bits and very luxurious.

2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

It could even be the new V8 powered Porsche we’ve been hearing about lately. If that is the case, and my idea turns out to be true, we could be looking at one of the finest yet most controversial cars Porsche ever made.

We’re talking about a possible updated version of the Porsche 968 or even the mighty 959.

Sounds awfully interesting but it would be much more fun if the high performance company actually made a piece of mid-engined exotica that was aimed at speed and nothing more.

2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

Between this “better than the 911 GT2 RS” model, the baby Porsche and the racer they plan to make by 2014 it would seem like VW’s best company won’t have too much spare time on their hands.

Bernhard Maier, Porsche’s sales boss is the man behind the new program and apparently the company is still examining the sort of car that could come out of the process and it’s going to be a tricky situation to sort out.

Apparently the biggest concern of Porsche’s representative isn’t how fast to make the new car it’s just to know how to least affect the image of their iconic 911.

Moreover, the new Peugeot 508 RXH is also able to use only the electric motor which means that you get zero emissions out of the exhaust.

Peuegeot 508 RXH

The European market will meet the new 508 RXH in early 2012 and promises to be placed in the world of top-of-the-range all road vehicles, as Peugeot claims. “Diesel-electric hybrid and distinctive high end appeal combine to offer an original view of the world of all-road vehicles and enhanced driving pleasure: the new Peugeot 508 RXH.

2012 Nissan Versa price announced – officially low

Thank you for using rssforward.com! This service has been made possible by all our customers.

Supercars and all are very interesting, yet we know that the world is actually full of cheap, slow and practical cars so the Nissan Versa is quite the important car.

For quite some time now it was America’s cheapest car and further more, it made for a great milestone as a sub 10.000 dollar car.

2012 Nissan Versa

With the 2012 model year however, that trait of the Nissan Versa’s personality has disappeared because it now gets a MSRP that starts at 10.990 dollars.

Forget about how that doesn’t even include the destination charge, the costs are, respectable to say the least.

Nissan is still offering the cheapest car on the United States market and it is still a great low cost transport solution.

2012 Nissan Versa

The new, higher price, is justified however since the basic $11.000 2012 Nissan Versa offers all one needs for decent mobility nowadays.

Sure the drivetrain only offers a 5 speed manual gearbox and a 1.6 liter gasoline engine with just 109 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque but the rest of the setup is more fun than that.

Standard equipment for the boggo 1.6 S 5MT version includes air conditioning, a 6 way adjustable driver's seat, and a multimedia system with AM/FM/CD/Aux-in audio.

For those of a more luxurious disposition the 2012 Nissan Versa lineup includes a CVT gearbox for the 1.6 liter at a more commendable $12.760.

2012 Nissan Versa

Further still there’s a 1.6 SV CVT version which spices up the equipment even more in return for a $14.560 price tag with the top of the line model being a more powerful 1.8 liter.

That version of the 2012 Nissan Versa also delivers its power through a CVT gearbox and you’ll need at least $15.560 to get it. Come to think of it, that is still a bargain of a price.

Also in the low cost section is the fuel economy level which, according to the EPA, in the case of the Versa Sedan is set to be 30/38/33 mpg (city/highway/combined) for the CVT transmission and 27/36/30 mpg for the manual cog swap.

Added optional extras come at a bit of a price but they also mean that you can equip a 2012 Nissan Versa Sedan with stuff like Bluetooth/USB/iPod connectivity, XM satellite radio and a touch-screen nav system.

2012 Nissan Versa

The competition’s lowest priced cars only reach as far as the 13.000 mark. For that sort of cash the Japanese at Nissan will offer you a basic sedan with all the kit you may want.

As for the hatchback’s pricing it’s supposed to turn up later in the month.

World Premiere: The BMW Art Car Collection on the Internet.

World Premiere: The BMW Art Car Collection on the Internet. Legendary collection as a virtual video tour.

11.07.2011

Munich. Just in time to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the BMW Group's international cultural commitment, the legendary BMW Art Car Collection can now be seen for the first time within a virtual video tour on the Internet. For the first time, an extensive virtual overview of the origin, history and development of the collection is available on the Internet. In addition to extensive photographic material, a film has been devoted to every single one of the 17 "works of art on wheels", each of which was designed by an internationally well-known artist. Historic racing footage and artists' statements as well as renowned representatives from art and culture are to be seen. The BMW Art Cars can be viewed at www.bmw-artcartour.com.

"After four decades and a total of 17 BMW Art Cars, they can now all be admired by everyone. The interactive website pays homage to the collection, unique in the history of the automobile and the arts. Whilst the originals are often exhibited individually at the BMW Museum in Munich or at significant cultural institutions throughout the world, people are now able to discover for the BMW Art Cars in their entirety. A comprehensive online tour is now available anywhere and anytime," says Bill McAndrews, head of BMW Group Corporate Strategy and Communications," says Bill McAndrews, Vice President Communications Strategy and Corporate Communications.

The BMW Art Car Collection.

Since 1975 renowned artists from all four corners of the world have made their contribution to the series with the creation of contemporary vehicles. In 2010, BMW celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Art Car series. For this occasion, the internationally acclaimed artist Jeff Koons created the 17th vehicle of the collection. All BMW Art Cars will be showcased until 25 September within the first comprehensive overall exhibition at the BMW Museum in Munich to demonstrate a chapter of exciting automobile, design and art history. The works of art are racing and production saloons, coupés and roadsters and are all contemporary witnesses of a mobile lifestyle. The exhibition covers everything from Pop Art of the 70's to the "idea of the continents", right down to new 21st century concepts.

The initial idea of the collection – to have a car designed by an artist – was a product of the imagination of the French auctioneer and passionate racing car driver Hervé Poulain. On his initiative, the American Alexander Calder designed his BMW racing car – the BMW 3.0. CSL – at the beginning of the 1970s. The first vehicle to bring together the worlds of art and motor sport took part in the 24-hour race of Le Mans. The enthusiastic reception of the rolling sculpture was the spark of inspiration that led BMW to create the Art Car Collection.

Hervé Poulain about his vision: "One day, I said to myself, now is the time to do something grandly communicative and heroic and unite my two passions, by having my racing cars painted by the leading artists of the time."

A total of 17 male and female artists from 9 countries and all 5 continents have contributed towards the special diversity and aesthetics of the collection, artists such as Alexander Calder, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, A.R. Penck, David Hockney, Jenny Holzer and Olafur Eliasson. The collection attracts interest all over the world: at the Louvre in Paris, the New York Whitney Museum, the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney and at the Guggenheim Museums in New York and Bilbao. During the years 2006 to 2010, the BMW Art Car Collection completed a world tour, taking it, inter alia, to museums in Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, Australia, India, Taiwan, China, Russia, Africa, the United States and Mexico. The Arts Cars – symbols of the interconnection between art, design and technology – will also in future continue to be on show at international museums.

Comments by the art car artists

"My design is like a blueprint transferred onto the bodywork." Frank Stella
"I pondered on it for a long time and put as much into it as I possibly could." Roy Lichtenstein
"I love that car. It has turned out better than the artwork." Andy Warhol
"I think mobile museums would be a good idea. This car is the fulfilment of my dream." Robert Rauschenberg
"Ndebele art has, in an entirely natural way, something slightly formal but very majestic about it; through my work I have added the idea of movement." Esther Mahlangu
"The car has wonderful lines which I followed." David Hockney
"By bringing together art, design, social and environmental issues, I hope to contribute to a different way of thinking-feeling-experiencing cars and seeing them in relation to the time and space in which we live." Olafur Eliasson
"These race cars are like life, they are powerful and there is a lot of energy," said Koons. "You can participate with it, add to it and let yourself transcend with its energy. There is a lot of power under that hood and I want to let my ideas transcend with the car – it's really to connect with that power." Jeff Koons

The BMW Group

The BMW Group is one of the most successful manufacturers of automobiles and motorcycles in the world with its BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brands.

The company has also commissioned famous architects such as Karl Schwanzer, Zaha Hadid and Coop Himmelb(l)au to design important corporate buildings and plants. The BMW Group guarantees absolute creative freedom in all the cultural activities it is involved in – as this is just as essential for groundbreaking artistic work as it is for major innovations in a successful business.
