NEW 'TURBO-LOOK' 911 ON THE WAY?
Limited edition 911 'Supersport' rumoured to arrive in 2010
A limited-edition throwback to the classic 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Supersport is on its way, at least if a rumour circulating the web proves well-founded.

The original '80s 911 Supersport was also known as the Turbo-look (or option M491 as any 'Wikipedia-enabled' expert will tell you), and was a "˜grand touring' 911 featuring uprated suspension, brakes and the whale-tail bespoilered body from the then current Turbo model.
The Supersport reportedly under development today will be a Carrera 2S under the skin, but with Carrera 4S wide arches, front and rear bumpers modelled on the 911 GT3, a "˜double-bubble' roof (spy-shots have been circulating for some time showing this roof on what are supposed to be "˜next gen' 911 prototypes), and even a ducktail spoiler like the one on the old 2.7 RS. The car will get a factory power kit to bump up the horsepower, and the supposedly leaked details also extend to the interior, which is said to be trimmed in brown leather with a "˜retro' feel. There's even a price being mooted of £135k.
So plenty of details in the rumour mill then, but we'll have to wait a while to see whether this particular 911 edition turns from rumour into reality. The story goes that the new Supersport arrives some time next year "" if it does we think we'll like it!
