Porsche 960 To Challenge Ferrari’s 458 Italia
New Porsche chairman Matthias Muller has ambitious plans to grow Porsche’s volume with a brand-new mid-engine sports car designed to take on the Ferrari 458 Italia.
The new project, codenamed 960 will start a new platform to be shared by a number of variants. Earmarked to go into production in just over four years, the Porsche 960 will share components with the next 911 due in 2018. Power will come from a twin-turbo 3.8-liter boxer six, which should be good for 600 hp and 555 pound-feet of torque. Porsche will not use a V8 as originally intended as the flat six is more compact, helps to lower the center of gravity, is more efficient as well as slightly cheaper to build, and it offers that unique Porsche touch. It will likely be offered in both coupe and roadster guise and we should see it’s unveiling by 2015.
