By introducing a completely new 911 this year's Frankfurt Motor Show and the launch of next-generation Boxster and Cayman sports cars, set in 2012, Porsche is now considering its options for a more direct competitor for the Ferrari 458 Italy.
It will not be another variant of the 911, but a new model of central motor located between 911 and 918 Spyder to come. Porsche, with the exception of the Cayenne, use custom parts, does not share any of its components with their cousins in the VW group.
But a new car, it makes sense in economic terms - that is, to develop a new platform, it seems highly unlikely, when it is already available in a range bin VW Group shares.
As reported by Autocar, Volkswagen leaders have so far ruled out as a chassis - even if it is the preferred option by Porsche engineers, by the carbon fiber structure to be used by the next generation R8 Audi and Lamborghini Gallardo.
This forum is very similar to that used by the Audi R8 and-Tron concept. Approval of the Porsche would substantially reduce development costs and production time for that production.
However, Porsche could put his plans for a rival mid-engine Ferrari on the ice and wait to join or even lead to the development of a new platform to be used in the third generation of the Audi R8 and Lamborghini Gallardo, expected after 2020.
