A few more brand-new novelties from the motor show in Frankfurt: Alpina B6s (on the base of BMW M6), Porsche GT2 and Ople Flextreme Concept

Porsche officially unveiled the new and most powerful in the 911 line – Porsche GT2.

Only a few months ago all we could wee were spy shots. But now everything has come into reality. The new Porsche GT2 was demonstrated as a complete car ready to take all the possible positive and negative comments.

The car us equipped with a bi-turbo 3.6-liter engine and a special titan exhaust system, which enables 530 hp and 680 Nm. Porsche GT2 is back wheel driven with 19-inch rims with front 325/30 tires. All these features allow the car to accelerate to 100 k.p.h. in 3.7 seconds and the max speed is 329 k.p.h. The fuel consumption is 12.5 per 100 km.

As for the dynamics of the novelty, there are elements typical for the GT series: huge front bumper with air-intakes, wide wheel arches with “gills” and a gigantic rear anti-wing with special openings for cooling the engine.

The serial version of the car will be equipped with electric 2-grade suspension system PASM, braking system PCCB with carbon-ceramic plates, sport seats of coal-plastic and all-leather interior. The basic price for Porsche GT2 in Germany will make 159.100 euro (189.496 euro with the 19% tax.)

The novelty will be available for the drivers in October.

The tuning manufacture Alpina showed the loaded version of BMW M6 – B6s in Frankfurt.

The novelty has even higher indexes than the previous hit model – B6.

Alpina showed 2 variants of the modification – for Coupe and Cabrio. Both the bundles include power increase from the basic 500 hp to 530 hp (the basic engine is 4.4-liter V8 compressor) and from 700 Nm to 724 Nm.

Alongside the filling the exterior of B6s was also refreshed. The major difference from the previous generation is the ultra-light cowling cover with 2 huge air-intakes.

Opel showed the green novelty Opel Flextreme in Frankfurt.

In a few years the automotive market will be stuffed with hybrids, which are likely to develop into full-scale comfortable vehicles.

The first steps were made long ago, but the material concepts and prototypes appeared comparatively recently. For instance GM showed 161-hp hybrid concept Chevrolet Volt Concept working on Li-ion batteries and 1-liter supercharged engine. Today the European division of GM – Opel – is unveiling the alternative hybrid vehicle -  Opel Flextreme Concept.

The car has been designed for the European market only and some kind of hatchback-crossover with a transparent top.

Flextreme is equipped with a 1.3-liter turbodiesel and an electric engine placed in the front part of the body. The electric engine works on Li-ion batteries with the power reserve of 65 km. After this distance you have 2 possible variants: recharge the engine from an average socket or continue driving on the diesel, which will automatically recharge the batteries.
