There are a slew of new models that Porsche has in line for the New Year. They have announced the beginning of their show to be held at the American International Auto Show in Detroit which is scheduled from January 10 to 23. Their website www.porsche.com/detroit would also display these events live as per their announcement. No details have been forthcoming from the company on these cars but the first one to debut at the Detroit show would be a supercar with a twin-turbo engine delivering over 600 hp as per German Magazine AutoBild.

The car is to be an all wheel drive model and light by weight. This has been achieved by using carbon fiber. The acceleration factor of the car reads 0 to 100 kmph that is 62 mph in less than 4 seconds. Top speed of the car is listed at 300 kmph or 186 mph. There is also the possibility of Porsche coming out with their 918 Spyder concept at the same Detroit show.

A V8 engine capable of delivering 500 hp was used on the concept and it had two electric motors also. The motors could deliver 218 hp or 160 Kw and are mounted one each on the front and rear axle. Acceleration factor of the Spyder is 3.2 seconds for the zero to 100 kmph sprint. Top speed of the car is controlled electronically at 320 kmph or 198 mph.
