Porsches and supermarkets

Number 2 in an occasional series of pictures of Porsches with personalised numberplates parking outside supermarkets. Once again, there is nobody else parked in the vicinity, and we can only assume that this is out of respect for the Porsche's paintwork.


Our previous example was outside Waitrose (naturally) on the Triangle, but here we see T5OOC has parked outside TESCO in Clifton village - they obviously didn't realise that Waitrose is only 2 minutes drive away. It's good to see them following the advice given in the Porsche owner's handbook of not parking too close to the kerb to avoid scuffing the tyres.

Spy shot supercar,Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The new GT3 RS with the coupe, cabrio, targa and turbo variants of the latest Porsche 911 already out on the road .This new monster GT3 RS was snapped in the French mountains area were it was testing alongside the current model.

There are a few cosmetic changes, in typical Zuffenhausen fashion.However,this supercar will retain its “GT3 RS” side decals, coloured wheels, decorative strip and side mirrors finished in contrasting paint.

To make this supercar more light,the new RS will include a polycarbonate rear window, and carbon fibre bonnet and rear wing.

Once again, the 3.6-litre flat-six, which it shares with the GT3, will be required to pound out 410hp. This will propel the car to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds before it goes on to hit a top speed of 310 km/h.
