I think your math … I think your math is backwards montels, that’d be 3 lbs for every horsepower
But I agree, the power:weight on these things is ridiculous. The GT1 cars have more horsepower but they can’t even begin to compete in the weight category.
I heard next year they’re gonna try to slow the LMP1/2’s down a little bit though, hope it doesn’t happen.
the brakes on the … the brakes on the 2005 - 2008 porsche rs spyder are a Two-circuit hydraulic braking system, six piston aluminum monobloc brake calipers, front and rear ventilated carbon brake discs, F: 380 mm diameter R: 355 mm diameter
I have seen this … I have seen this before but failed to hear that it is 500 HP and only 750 KG (about 1600lbs)! That would make it the weight of my VW Karmann Ghia, just a little faster….
Anyone know if the … Anyone know if the RS Spyder uses carbon brakes or ceramic composite? I saw it at Quail Lodge in Monterey, CA a week ago. Beautiful car.
guys guys guys…. … guys guys guys…. porsche bought vw 51%, audi belongs to vw with about 98%!!
als oto vw belongs bentley, bugatti, skoda, skania, and 30% of MAN
No,Dr. Porsche … No,Dr. Porsche developed the Beatle.
And in 1950’s he tuned VW cars.
But it doesn’t matter.
Perhaps they will have any battles on race track in future, too.
Porsche AG bought last year VW AG.
And a part of VW is Audi.
Perhaps you can say there was an influence of Porsche before.
But now Porsche is the biggest owner of Audi and whole VW AG.
I think we’ll see … I think we’ll see Porsche back in Le Mans some day… battling for the overall win. The new rules ACO are planning to be used from 2010 sounds interesting, and it’s not only closed pits (like 908), it will be a completely revamped class. Most likely something like the mid/late 90’s GTP/LMGT1 class. Porsche should start making some Carrera GT blueprints…
Chris Harris tests the RS Spyder at Weissach.
