More reports regarding the Porsche 960 supercar keep emerging and some of the latest ones from Automobile Mag indicate that the “FeFi” or Ferrari-Fighter will feature a boxer eight engine as opposed to earlier rumors of a flat six. The news is justified by the need to compete with the hefty V12 of the F12 Berlinetta.

The mid-mounted quad-turbocharged powerhouse will then be mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and an all-wheel-drive system. Porsche is aiming for a zero-60mph sprint time of just 2.5 seconds. The development of this new engine has allegedly already been granted by VW Group chief Ferdinand Piech who is not new to this set up as he once drove a boxer eight one off Porsche 914 and a flat eight Cayman.

The 3.9 liter engine is expected to dispense 650 hp and Porsche is expecting to sell 3000-4000 of these cars in a period of six years when production begins in 2017.

Am already on the waiting list. (Writing this from my shink's office)

This will probably be fast tracked after the Rolex 24 With Audi taking 1-2 and Ferrari 3rd after the third place Audi ran out of gas on the last lap.

That car looks GOOOD. IMO.

At what projected price? I am sure it will beyond most people's affordability

Too much McLaren & Ferrari in the Design for me

It better look more original than that in production.

I think it's going to be a $250-300K car.
It will look better than that pic

Agreed. That's just an artist's conception, what he thinks the car might look like.

Yep, not much in the design to call it a porsche.

Maybe more like this. More based of the 918 Spyder design I would suspect.

x2 That photo is not from Porsche.

An artists interpretation of what it might look like? That is crazy - why have the picture at all, then?

That first pic is just an MP4 with a porsche badge....

I'd be shocked if they went flat 8....I thought it was always planned to be a non hybrid version of the 918, right?

The rumors I have heard for a while is that it will be a flat 8 mid engine. No hybrid system. And probably AWD.
Like most everything Porsche does, It'll take a while to grow on us.
