Ah, when you talk about the fast and the furious, you can’t go without mentioning the Porsche supercars. And now enter the 997 Turbo-based Le Mans 600 by Swiss Porsche Specialist Rinspeed – which ups the numbers to 600 hp and 590 lb-ft into the already fiercely fast Porsche sports car.
The Rinspeed "Le Mans 600" is equipped with new and exclusive auto body parts such as the front skirt with integrated Carbon splitters that produces a higher aerodynamic down force at the front axle. The bigger and re-shaped air intakes for the radiators and the brakes are a big help in keeping things cool, while the additional headlights with day light driving lights and the inboard moved fog lights guarantee a sporty yet elegant appearance.
And what about the numbers? For the first time the Swiss tuners have also addressed the engine output. According to the company press releases the car’s 3.6 liter power pack produces in the "Le Mans" breathtaking 600 hp (441 kW) at 6'700 rpm, the torque is increased to a whopping 800 Nm at 4'000 Nm. The engine conversion includes two special VTG turbo chargers, a new Carbon air intake ram-air system with sport air filters, improved intercoolers as well as a high performance exhaust system with metal catalytic converters.
These upgrades make the Rinspeed "Le Mans" as one of the fastest street legal sports cars around, with its sprint from 0-100 km/h achieved by the super sportsman in just 3.3 seconds, and the 200 km/h mark reached in 10.9 seconds with the top speed clocking in at 343 km/h.
To bring this beast to a halt, Rinspeed gives the Le Mans 600 8 pistons aluminum calipers and 380 mm x 34 mm at the front axle and 6 pistons calipers with 360 mm x 32 mm at the rear axle.
Meanwhile, close contact to the road is ensured by the typical and well sold Rinspeed 20 inch aluminum wheels in the C5/1 design. The rear wheels have been widened to the size of 12 x 20" especially for the Turbo. The tires sizes of 245/30-20 at the front axle and 325/25-20 at the rear axle hug the road for sufficient grip for the Swiss super sportsman.
