    That's a cool story, but I really hope it isnt closely related to the Veyron. Or even share alot of parts with it.

    A hard top, stripped down, CGT with 950hp would be the best car in the world, PERIOD. They will have to use turbos to reach this level of out put, but hopefully the beautiful CGT sound will not be diminished.

    looks like recycled pictures of the gemballa porsche concept. none have been made to my knowledge.

    not even the guys in dubai/Hk are crazy enough to do that to their CGTs

    Porsche is working on a rival to the Bugatti Veyron, according to the latest issue of the U.K.'s Autocar magazine. The car will use the GT1 moniker, and offer around 950 horsepower, the report says. Top speed should be right around Veyron at approximately 254 mph. The GT1 will pick up where the now-discontinued Porsche Carrera GT left off. It will share many components and design elements with the car, as well as technology from the automaker's forthcoming Le Mans competitor. Unlike the Carrera GT, the new GT1 will have a full roof, despite carrying over the chassis from the über roadster. The car will likely be offered as a 2009 model.



    The question is, would Porsche get that radical ?

    porsche was talking about getting back into LMP1 racing also, a new GT1 would make that transition very easy
