Dead simple.

No targa 2 or 2s?

Also that spreadsheet looks so much like a fake.

I'm at a loss as to how cars in this price bracket (which include the mew McLaren) only have carbon brakes as an option.

written in english and priced in euros

Hmmm all very dubious.. That a the typos, this maybe the work of someone other than porsche methinks.

Absolutely.


I would imagine pricing is largely correct though!

not fake - car exists - friend of mine will get one - he already owns a 2010 GT3 RS.

I don't think the car's existence is in doubt here - It's whether or not the leaked spec sheet is genuine!

Oh look, another 911 variant. Any sad PH'r that can tell how many versions of the '911' there's been?

Because the standard steel brakes are better in 90% of the time. Carbon brakes are only superior under extreme conditions (track/mountain). When I worked at Porsche, none of the colleagues (engineers) had ceramic brakes. They all went for the red series (steel) for a reason...

The only way in which standard steel brakes are better is in terms of cost.

Really, have you owned/driven cars with both then?

I had both ceramics and steels on my GT2s and after replacing several sets of both type of discs, I can tell you that the steels are just as good on track, better on the road and the only advantage for ceramic is they keep the wheels clean.

I would not choose to spec ceramic, but both my last two Porsches came with them as standard.

Jay Leno mentioned in a column recently that he specced his McLaren MP4-12C with steel brakes amongst other reasons because they are lighter and cheaper than carbon.

It's carbon breaks (sic) which are old-fashioned trousers hereabouts!

Luckily the Golf GTi range is much simpler!

Well I disagree. Ceramics are lighter, last longer and I found pedal feel just as good if not better. I don't see how steels are better other than the fact that they don't cost a fortune to replace.

Yes but there is only one real Porsche 911 , and that was build in 80s

The problem is that there do seem to be a few troublesome points in the spec sheet: the word 'brake' is spelled 'break'...

Not sure if this one rules it out as fake, as according to the Porsche and poor grammar thread, one PH'er has first hand experience of seeing this mistake used by Porsche:

No there isn't/wasn't but they do the 911 TurboS "918 spyder" edition.

Which is where it should have stayed.

Who would be so sad as to "invent" a spec sheet?

[Wills2]

Mike

So the ones built in 60' and 70's aren't real?

Nah, they were modified VW Beetles

I'll get my coat.

[spikem1977]

In my opinion its a fake. Germans dont even call tax VAT they call it MWST mehrwertsteuer. Why would a leaked spec list be priced for the UK market. they get their porches at least 2-6 months before RHD models are released.

Theres some sad people out there...
