Porsche 960 (458 and McL MP4-12C rival) - EVO mag

[anniesdad]

An artists impression and a few details about the anticipated spec and performance for this 458 and McL rival are in the latest EVO magazine.

600+bhp, rear/mid engined, twin turbo V8 built on the new MSB platform that will underpin a number of the VW group products in the coming years including R8 and Gallardo.

Expected price of £160k+ and also expected to give the 918 Spyder a run for its money in the performance stakes. If the artists impression is anything to go by, it'll be the usual Porsche teutonic beauty, favouring functionality over form. To my uninitiated eyes it looks great!

I hope that four door statement was a mistake. Maybe RX8 doors?

"Said to be due in 2015, the 960 is the supercar discussed last year as a bridge model between the 911 and 918, but Kacher has it listed with the MSB-M platform cars like the Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Lamborghini Aventador, not the front-engined MSB-F or rear-engined MSB-H cars. Yet the 960 is said to be a Ferrari-fighting "four-door coupe" powered by a twin-turbo flat-six. We'll wait for clarification on the number of doors, since in September of last year, Kacher's scoop for Car posited the 960 as a mid-engined coupe priced "on the creepy side of €200,000." "
