The key to the all-wheel drive in The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS is in the multiple plate clutches, which delivers an optimal torque to the front wheels.

New 2012 Porsche 911 Specs Hit the Web Early

5573567633_7ccc25797f_z.jpg

This internet is tricky business when it comes to things like embargos. It's all well and good that you've got something set for your August issue (publishes around early July) that matches the pre-set date. It's when you've got downloadable content that things get tricky. Just ask Car and Driver who just smashed through an embargo with their downloadable August issue. The embargo? 2012 Porsche 911.

And leave it to TeamSpeed.com to not only find the article and rip it to their website ASAP. Bless those boys. The article in question gives us almost all we need to know on the next gen 911 like horsepower: The 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S will have 400 hp from a 3.8 while the Carrera will have 350 and share the same 3.4-liter engine as the Boxster S. The two transmissions offered will be a seven-speed PDK and a seven-speed manual with launch control being available on both. 0-60 takes 4.5 seconds according to Porsche in part thanks to the car being 55 pounds lighter than the 997.

The car is 2.5 inches longer than before with a 4 inch longer wheelbase to accommodate a hybrid drivetrain starting with the 2016 model refresh. Front and rear overhangs are 1.3 and 0.5 inches shorter and with the sport suspension, the car sits 0.7 inches lower.

The car will also feature an electronic parking brake (boooo), full-length sunroof, 19-inch wheels on the Carrera / 20s on the Carrera S.

An odd thing that struck is from the review posted was this "Of course, this new 911 comes with separate buttons for damper adjustment and dynamic driving modes, as well as the special "journalist button" to fully deactivate stability control, or as Porsche calls it, PSM (Porsche Stability Management). The system stays idle as long as the driver doesn't touch the brake pedal, at which point PSM kicks in again."

That means you can't really drive this car on a track without the interference of PASM. Sure you'll go off less frequently, but shouldn't a Porsche, of all cars, have a fully defeatable nanny?

More to come as the story keeps on breaking.

New Porsche Returning to Le Mans in 2014 With Hybrid LMP1 Prototype

Porsche le Mans.jpg

Porsche announced today that they will be returning Le Mans with a works-run LMP1 prototype in 2014. Porsche has claimed 16 overall victories the last of which was in 1998 with the 911 GT1. Porsche also had the factory-backed-Penske-run RS Spyder sports prototype from 2006 - 2008.

"Motorsport was always an essential part of the Porsche brand, so for us it was only a matter of time before we returned as a factory to the top league of racing. Porsche's successes in Le Mans are unrivalled. We want to follow up on this with the 17th outright victory." said Matthias Muller, President of the Executive Board at Porsche AG.

And in the footsteps of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid, Porsche is hoping that this new car will use hybrid power. That technology, however, is dependent upon the rules and regulations of the class come 2014.

Audi, of course, has something to say about kissing-cousin Porsche playing in the territory they've dominated lately and they've done it via twitter: "Audi's statement on Porsche's Le Mans return: This is the decision of Porsche company, a decision in which Audi is not involved. Audi relishes the prospect of every strong new opponent at Le Mans and in the new FIA World Endurance Championship. Porsche’s entry into the LMP1 class is evidence of the high level of attraction of sport prototypes "

New F1 engines and Porsche back in Le Mans? 2014 is going to be a good year for racing.
