Ending all speculation, Porsche has confirmed that it will debut a new supercar concept at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show that starts in January. Though the company refrained from providing more details, the vehicle is expected to have a twin-turbo V8-powered engine capable of producing 600 hp.
In addition, the supercar is to be a mid-engined machine with an AWD system. Also, the body can be expected to incorporate a considerable amount of carbon fiber for lightness.
In fact, suggestions are abound as to what kind of a vehicle Porsche will present at the show ranging from a production-ready version of the 918 Spyder Hybrid concept, the Cayman CS or a coupe version of the Panamera dubbed 928. Other rumors indicate a new model between the 911 and 918.
It was reported earlier in December that Porsche's new supercar concept will share key components from the 918 Spyder concept that made its debut at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show.
Porsche spokesman Hans- Gerd Bode stated that the company will make a comeback with a 'spectacular new concept that points towards a future road going model.
'We'll have something spectacular to show there. You'll have to wait and be surprised." Bode added.
According to AutoZeitung, the new model will be called the 929. Similar to the 918 Spyder, the new concept is expected to have a hybrid drivetrain that will combine a 4.8 liter V8 Biturbo engine with three electric motors.
Incidentally, this is Porsche's first official presence at the Detroit show since 2007 and the return is part of the ever-expanding Volkswagen Group line-up.
