Exotic Cars - Storyboards

Porschephile or not, the Carrera GT is one car that requires little effort to seduce

Be it the evocative soundtrack from its 600-horsepower F1-derived V-10 engine

Or the 6-speed manual with that Beachwood shifter, the CGT remains one of the German automaker's most significant models of all time

However, in the two decades that it has been around, the CGT has developed a reputation of being a modern-day widowmaker with several high-profile crashes, resulting in lawsuits

One of the most effective ways to improve safety is with tires, and Porsche roped in Michelin to develop Pilot-cup Sport 2's for the CGT

Advancements in tire technology have come a long way in the past 20 years, and Porsche has decided to offer this new rubber to CGT owners, free of cost

But what better way to demonstrate the safety and capability of fresh rubber than at the 13-mile Nürburgring

Porsche entrusted this task to Works Driver Jörg Bergmeister

These Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are a straight swap for the old Pilot Super Sports from 2013 and even the original Pilot Sport PS2s from way back when the Carrera GT first hit the scene

With the fresh rubber, Bergmeister hit the track hard, with a nice burnout

And with that, it was on to the iconic start-stop line of the Nordschleife and explore the limits of grip in an old relic

Things looked a lot more civilized on the iconic Carousel, which is a blind left-hand corner, midway through the Nürburgring

On the final stretch, Bergmeister topped out at 187 mph with the Carrera GT's brand new shoes

He set a lap time of 7:12.69 minutes, a new record

This time is 16 seconds quicker than the Carrera GT's original lap time of 7:28, set by the legendary Walter Röhrl

The two-time world rally champion and Porsche Works driver was instrumental in the development of the Porsche Carrera GT back in the early 2000s

While several modern-day 911s are quicker around the Nürburgring today, none can offer the analog visceral feel of a Carrera GT

Are you a Porsche enthusiast who dreams of owning a supercar but finds the Carrera GT's seven-figure price tag daunting?

While the mid-engined Carrera GT, with its Formula 1-derived V10 engine and status as the last analog supercar,

The latest rear-engined 992 Turbo S also packs a lot of performance, all for a fraction of the cost

Stick around as we dive into five compelling reasons why the 911 Turbo S might just be the smarter choice

1. Performance: The 992 Turbo S is Quicker than the Carrera GT

911 Turbo S | 0-60 mph: 2.5 seconds (with Sport Chrono) | Top Speed: 205 mph

Carrera GT | 0-60 mph: 3.5 seconds | Top Speed: 205 mph

The official lap time for the Porsche Carrera GT at the Nürburgring is 7 minutes and 32 seconds

The Turbo S can lap the ring in 7 minutes 17 seconds | 992.2 GTS is quicker at 7:16

2. Everyday Usability: 992 Turbo S offers a lot more

Better Ergonomics | Modern-Tech Creature Comforts

Analog Touches | Manual Only

More Space | PDK Convenience

CGT Is Strictly A Two Seater

Turbo S Available As Both Coupe And Cabriolet

5 cubic-feet Vs 10 cubic-feet

Yes, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is standard on the Porsche 911 Turbo S

The Carrera GT has a fixed, stiffer suspension designed specifically for high-performance track driving, prioritizing handling over ride comfort

3. Rear-Axle Steering And AWD

Turbo S is nearly the same width as a CGT

Rear-axle steering comes as standard on 992 Turbo S

Year-round usability | Turbo S also features standard AWD compared to the RWD-only Carrera GT

No driver aids on the CGT | High-profile crashes

4. Maintenance & Insurance costs

Cheaper to Maintain A 911 Turbo S Compared to Carrera GT

Turbo S will set you back between $500 and $1000 depending on the intervals

Carrera GT’s clutch replacement can cost upwards of $20,000, and an oil change will set you back $3,000

Turbo S can be serviced nationwide

CGT may need to be taken to a specialist like Repasi Motorwerks to keep costs low

Parts won't be readily available and not all dealers may be qualified to work on the CGT

Turbo S Is Cheaper to Insure Compared to Carrera GT | $4,000 Vs. $5,000-$8,000

5. Steep Price, But Still Attainable

The 911 Turbo S Costs 250k, But Remains Attainable

Don’t Have to Worry About Putting Miles On A 911 Turbo S, unlike limited run CGT that could drastically affect its resale value

The average price of a 911 Turbo S hovers around $245k, whereas for the CGT it is $1.4 million.

Would you choose a 911 Turbo S over a Carrera GT?

When it comes to Halo supercars, Porsche is lagging behind its competition

Evolution of Halo Porsche, Ferrari and McLaren Halo Supercars

Porsche has a long-line of motorsports-derived super sportscars

So what do we know about the successor to the 918 Spyder?

We've seen several Porsche concept halo cars in the last decade

The most note-worthy of which is the all-electric Porsche Mission X

The space-age-looking all-electric concept broke cover in 2023 and Porsche called its first-ever hypercar

What could potentially become the 918 successor is not your regular EV

Compared to the 918 Spyder 608 horsepower, the Mission X is rumored to be twice as powerful

It sports an insane power-to-weight ratio of 1 hp per, 1kg (2.2 lbs) and produces more downforce than a GT3 RS

So if we assume Porsche hits the sweet spot with 1,500 kgs (3,300 pounds), that would equate to 1,500 horsepower

It also features a 900-volt charging architecture that can charge the battery pack to 80% in 20 minutes (twice as quick as a Taycan Turbo S)

But given the slow-down in the EV market, will Porsche still choose the electric route for its next halo hypercar?

There's a reason why Rimac (now-Bugatti-Rimac) to struggling to sell its Nevera hypercar which is destined for only 150 examples

Other exotic automakers including Bugatti feel customers aren't ready for electric hypercars yet which is why the new Tourbillion is a hybrid

Even McLaren and Ferrari are sticking to internal combustion power primarily (yes they are hybrids) with the W8 and F80 respectively

Porsche themselves have also scaled back on their ambitious 2030 EV ambitions

In an interview with the Drive, designer Michael Mauer said: “Porsche always had a good understanding of using the best solution for the time in order to create the best car.”

Mission X's project lead, Michael Behr, said earlier this year in March “only time will tell” if Mission X makes production.

What about Porsche also following suit with a Hybrid as well?

Several major automakers have taken the hybrid route

Porsche has showcased the 919 Street concept based on the LMP1 racecar back in 2017

It packs a 2.0-liter V4 gas engine coupled to a 400-horsepower electric motor for a combined 900 horsepower

We know the upcoming 992.2 Turbo will feature Porsche's T-Hybrid powertrain

Perhaps a beefed-up version of the T-Hybrid powertrain could serve as the basis?

Ultimately Euro 7 Emissions would dictate the future of Porsche's next-gen halo car

Porsche's high-volume production prevents it from qualifying for the exemption granted to ultra-low-volume manufacturers by the EU

So it begs the question, will a 918 Spyder successor be feasible at all?

The Ferrari F80 joins the McLaren W1 as the ultimate hypercar ever made by the Italian automaker

The F80 features a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and three e-motors. Combined, the hybrid powertrain cranks 1,184 hp

The F80 is an all-wheel drive hypercar and the V6 comes mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission

Ferrari says the F80 can reach 0-62 mph in 2.15 seconds and can reach a top speed of 217 mph

Do note that the Ferrari F80 isn't a plug-in hybrid hypercar. It's 2.3 kWh battery pack charges using the V6 and regen braking from the traction motors

The McLaren W1's hybrid powertrain includes a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and a single e-motor

Together the powertrain pushes out 1,258 hp and 988 lb-ft of through the rear wheels only. An 8-speed DCT takes care of the gear changes

The W1 is a plug-in hybrid hypercar and its 1.4 kWh battery pack can charge up to 80 percent in 22 minutes using the Level 2 charger

According to McLaren, the W1 can do 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds and can reach a top speed of 217 mph

The only contender left to complete the new-age holy trinity is Porsche and its hypercar

There's a strong chance that it will a fully electric hypercar, like the Mission X. However, only time will tell the real story

This is the RML P39, an upcoming 911-based hypercar, that was conceived to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the RML Group

The RML Group is a third-generation design, engineering and consutling firm based in the U.K.

They are a big name in the motorsport scene with multiple world and British Touring Car Championships, a World Sportscar Championship, European Le Mans, and class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans

They are also responsible for building the Nio EP9, which is one of the fastest EVs around the ring with a time of 6:45.9 seconds

They also build super limited, continuation models like the RML Short wheelbase based on the Ferrari 250 GTO

Coming back to the RML P39, it is based on the current 992.1 Porsche 911 Turbo S

The styling is heavily inspired by Le Mans racers like the 911 GT1 and features a widebody kit, roof scoop, and aggressive aero package

Available in two flavors, the standard P39 (seen here) and the P39 SE, RML's main aim was to create a track-bred daily usable hypercar with switchable drive modes

The P39 40 SE (Special Edition) will be available exclusively in the ruby red color and only 10 examples will be produced

The P39 is available with optional Track and Performance packs, which come as standard on the P39 40 SE

The P39 has a wider track and sits lower to the ground than the standard 911 Turbo S

While the wheelbase is also longer, it isn't as long as the 911 GT1 which is the only ever mid-engined 911

The side air intake is considerably bigger. You'll also notice a that the endplates on the wing are as big as the ones you find on the GT2

The rear-end draws a lot from the 911 GT1

Here's how it compares to the standard 911 Turbo S at the rear

The P39 delivers exceptional performance, with an estimated Nordschleife lap time of 6:45, surpassing the 992.1 GT3 RS

The RML P39 boasts a lightweight carbon fiber construction and an F1-style DRS system capable of more downforce (2,034 pounds) than a GT3 RS (1,896 pounds at 177 mph)

For reference, here are the current lap times of the current fastest production cars

The P39 offers a switchable driving mode system for both track-focused and everyday driving

The RML P39 costs $645,000 before taxes, not including the cost of the donor Porsche 992.1 Turbo S. Only 10 units of the P39 40SE will be built

The P39 joins a growing trend of resto-mod Porsche hypercars, including the Tutthill GT1, Kalmar 9x9, and Oilstainlab HF-11

The all-electric Mission X could potentially become Porsche's flagship supercar or hypercar, but it remains to be seen if it can capture the same level of excitement as previous legendary models

The Porsche Carrera GT doesn't need any introduction as it's gained its popularity for a few reasons

Including its highly symphonic V10 and unfortunately, a handful of deadly high-profile crashes

However, that doesn't mean it cemented the reputation of the Carrera GT

It's a highly sought after supercar that's worth millions of dollars today

It has been over 20 years since the Carrera GT hit the roads, but Porsche and Michelin collaborated to build a new set of tires for the CGT

These tires have modern rubber compounds that brings added grip in both wet and dry surfaces

With the new tires, the CGT's braking performance has significantly increased

It has a shortened braking distance than before by 8 feet

So, why Porsche is getting busy with the Carrera GT even after two decades after its discontinuation?

This could be because the older tires from 2013 aren't that great compared to modern standards

In a way, Porsche can improve the handling of the Carrera GT

This is maybe because of Porsche's way of getting in touch with these owners before its new hypercar, the Mission X debuts

Porsche also filed for a recall of all the Carrera GTs in the U.S. for a suspension failure issue

This was later confirmed that Porsche is offering a new set of tires completely for free

From a private event in California, Jonny Lieberman of MotorTrend.com shared some interesting teaser images on Instagram

California-based Oil Stain Lab is developing a limited-edition hypercar called the HF-11

The HF-11 is inspired by the Half 11, a previous project by Oil Stain Lab that combined a 1967 911 with a Le Mans-style racer

Here are some more renders, featuring a contrasting red and white color-scheme

The HF-11 is powered by a flat-six engine that revs up to 12,500 rpm, delivering exhilarating power and a unique sound

The engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, providing a direct and engaging driving experience

The cabin of the HF11 is minimalistic and stripped-down, featuring exposed carbon fiber, traditional instruments, and carbon tub seats

The HF-11 features a carbon-fiber tub, keeping its weight under 2,000 pounds, making it significantly lighter than many other hypercars

The hypercar generates 1,800 pounds of downforce, comparable to a 917k, ensuring exceptional stability and cornering performance

Oil Stain Lab is also developing an electric version of the HF11, claiming it's lighter than the gas-powered model

The electric HF11 will also have a six-speed manual transmission, a unique choice

Tuthill recently unveiled a 911 GT1-inspired limited-run model dubbed the GT One

It is a modern interpretation of Porsche's 911 GT1 Strassenversion from the late 90s

It looks deceivingly good with sharp silhouette. It features a fully carbon fiber body and those retro-inspired wheels

The original 911 GT1 Strassenversion features fried-egg style headlights from the 996 911

It's the first mid-engined 911 ever made. The rear part of its chassis is derived from the 962 race car

Unlike the 911 GT1 Strassenversion, the Tuthill GT One sports rounded headlights, like the early GT1 Strassenversions with those 993 911 headlights

The Tuthill GT One features carbon ceramic brakes with FIA grade rollover protection system

The original 911 GT1 Strassenversion features 8-piston front brakes, anti-roll bars, and robust chassis bracing

The Tuthill GT One is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six. In the nat-asp flavor, the engine can produce north of 500 hp and the numbers go beyond 600 hp with the "forced induction" engine option

The lump powering the 911 GT1 Strassenversion is a 3.2-liter twin-turbo flat-six, rated at 536 hp

Inside is where you can find some drastic differences between the GT One and the GT1 Strassenversion, because the former is more advanced and posh looking

Side-by-side, the 911 GT1 Strassenversion's cabin feels very late 90s, and that is acknowledged by the sleek steering wheel and the iconic 5 gauge analog instrumentation

A photograph of an unidentified Porsche 911 spotted at LAX surfaced online recently

It had a striking similarities to the iconic 911 GT1

Tuthill Porsche's recent Instagram teaser, strongly hints at their involvement in this enigmatic build

Amidst a field of potential builders Tuthill Porsche, a British firm celebrated for its work on classic 911s, has emerged as the prime suspect

They along with Flatau Design Inc. were also responsible for building the Singer A.C.S

The presence of distinctive orange accents on the roof scoop of both the mysterious Porsche and Tuthill's social media posts further strengthens the connection

The automotive world eagerly awaits the car's official reveal on August 16th at Monterey Car Week

Watch this space.

A mysterious Porsche was spotted on a transport trailer at LAX, that resembles a 911 GT1 Strassenversion

The 911 GT1 is a product of the GT1 class of the late 90s and the Strassenversion was a homologation special

The GT1 is one of Porsche's most iconic race cars and took on the likes of the McLaren F1 and Mercedes CLK GTR at Le Mans in the '90s

The car has a ducktail spoiler instead of the GT1's wing and other design differences

Compared to the original GT1, the side vents are larger, squarer, and sharper on the mystery car

A possibility is that the car is a modern homage to the original 911 GT1

Another theory suggests it could be the RML Group's upcoming Le Mans-inspired 911

However, the car doesn't fully match RML's teased P39 model

There are discrepancies in design details between the spotted car and the known models

The car's appearance in LA before Monterey Car Week hints at a major reveal. Swipe up to read more.

Bugatti's latest creation, the Tourbillon, is a giant leap forward compared to the Chiron

It keeps a combustion engine, an 8.3-liter nat-asp V16, and adds three e-motors

Combined, the hybrid powertrain pushes out an astonishing 1,775 horsepower

Before the Tourbillon's debut, there were many speculations about it being a full-fledged EV

With Mate Rimac now CEO of the company, it wasn't a wild guess, owing to the Rimac Nevera's success

However, Rimac didn't want to build a Bugatti hypercar with internal combustion, because it needed to be "emotional"

Bugatti is known for its combustion engine prowess, especially the 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 which powers the Veyron and the Chiron

Cars like the legendary Type 41 Royale featured a massive 12.8-liter straight 8 engine in the 1930s

The thrill of ICE-powered cars is incomparable. The vibrations, the exhaust, which, in case of the Tourbillon, sounds amazing at 9,000 RPM

BEVs suffer from power-to-weight ratio, and making the Tourbillon heavier than it already is would be blasphemy
