New 911 Takes Center Stage at Porsche's Frankfurt Motor Show Stand



While Porsche brought along a variety of cars to the 2011 edition of Frankfurt Motor Show such as the 500-horsepower strong 911 GT3 RS 4.0, the Cayman S Black Edition and Panamera V6 Diesel, the model that is receiving all the attention is of course the brand new 911.

Codenamed 991, the latest generation of the world's longest running sports car series looks a lot like the outgoing model though it does get a modified rear end design featuring newly shaped tail lamps. But then again, evolution is the name of the game when it comes to Porsche and its 911 series.

Bypassing the exterior styling, the latest 911 also features a revamped interior heavily inspired from the Panamera, as well as a new chassis with a 100mm longer wheelbase than the soon to be phased out 997.

The 991 has already launched in Europe where it is currently available in two forms, the basic Carrera with a 350HP 3.4-liter flat-six, and the Carrera S with a 400HP 3.8-liter flat-six.

2014 Ford Focus RS Dreamed up as Three-Door Hot Hatch



Earlier this month, Ford's global boss for small cars, Gunnar Herrmann, confirmed the development of a next generation Focus RS. The news motivated Carscoop reader Lil-k Amaru to create a computer generated version of the future hot hatch.

While Herrmann shared several juicy details, revealing for example that Ford is working on a highly tuned 2.0-liter turbo engine driving the front wheels, he didn't say if the Focus RS will be based on the 5-door hatch or the rumored three door version (keep in mind, it's not clear yet if the 3door Focus will be designed more on the coupe side like the Opel Astra GTC or more on the traditional side like the previous model).

Nevertheless, Lil-k Amaru opted for the second choice blending a whole lot from the body of the older RS with select styling elements from the newer generation of the Focus like the headlamps, tail lamps and the kink over the rear wheel arches.

H/T to Lil-k Amaru for the renderings!
