New details are starting to emerge about the Porsche 960, which is a direct competitor for the Ferrari 458 Italia, Lamborghini Aventador and the McLaren MP4-12C.
According to GTspirit, this sports car, which sits above the 911 but below the 918 Spyder, won’t hit the production line and this certainly is sad news for all Porsche's automotive enthusiasts.
"We have always a lot of ideas, at the moment I think this is a good idea but it’s not the near future. We’ve just launched a new 991. Now we have Boxster and Cayman, then we have 911 variants, turbo, GT3 and so on, then the 918 next year. I think we have so many sports cars now that we don’t have any need for a model above the 911 GT2 though", as Porsche’s Research and Development Chief, Wolfgang Hatz told Drive contributor, Chris Harris.
Initial rumors say that the Porsche 960 will ride on the same platform as the new Audi R8 and is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine that produces 600 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque.
