Porsche 911 GT2 RS Muscle Play by Wimmer

Wimmer RS has introduced a modified Porsche 911 GT2 RS called the Muscle Play.

There's also a new crankshaft, sports camshafts and upgraded timing chains. The engine also has new manifolds, machined cylinder heads and improved pistons and connecting rods. Thanks to these modifications, the engine develops 1,020 HP (750 kW) and 1,108 Nm (817 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 8.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 389 km/h (242 mph).

Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet by Gemballa

Gemballa has revealed a new aerodynamic package for the Porsche 911 (991) Carrera S Cabriolet that includes a new front bumper / spoiler section with three big cooling air intakes, as well as large lip spoilers. We also notice the deep side skirts, the new rear bumper that has a recessed panel, while between the triple outlet pipes of the custom stainless steel exhaust system sits a new diffuser. All of the new aerodynamic components are made from carbon fiber.
The entire package is offered for 19,860 Euros (VAT included) with paintwork and installation included. For an extra 9,895 Euros, Gemballa can offer 21-inch GForged-one alloys in either a gunmetal or a diamond cut finish which are actually lighter than the standard 20-inch wheels. This new set of alloys comes with 245/30ZR21 front tires and 305/25ZR21 rear tires.
Motivation comes from the 3.8-liter engine with 400 hp (298 kW) at 7,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 324 lb-ft (440 Nm) at 5,600 rpm. When fitted with the PDK transmission, it completes the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 4.7 seconds, en route to a top speed of 185 mph (299 km/h).

Switzer Performance F900f

Switzer has unveiled their Porsche 911 Turbo-based F900. Described as a "flex-fuel fire-breather," the 900 hp (671 kW / 912 PS) model was specially designed for a customer who wanted "A real, usable, daily-drivable street machine that, at a moment's notice, could pull up to an E85 station and rip off a pass in the low 10s. Or 9s, ideally." While the car feels like a standard P800 when it's running on petrol, Tym Switzer says "Once you get it on the ethanol, though, it really takes off. Just like the race gas cars." Detailed specifications were not released, but the model has been equipped with "monster" intercoolers, a CNC-machined Y-pipe and Switzer turbochargers. There's also a "series of specialized sensors feeding data back to a stand-alone ECU solution that adjusts injection and timing on the fly, ensuring an appropriate tune for whatever fuel is handy."
