By the late fifties, Porsche’s four-camshaft 356 Carrera was losing ground to more specialised machinery from Alfa Romeo and Abarth. To remain competitive, the firm understood that a lighter, more aerodynamic version would be required. Facts surrounding these rare cars are murky, but it's generally agreed that Porsche’s first port of call for their new racer was Carlo Abarth. Abarth was approached in late 1959 with a view to his outfit working the same magic on the German marques Carrera GT as they had so successfully done with Fiat-based machines bearing the famed Scorpion logo.

After assurances from Carlo Abarth, Porsche initially thought Zagato would be responsible for executing bodywork. However, the Milanese carrozzeria's contribution never materialised and Abarth eventually commissioned ex-Bertone designer, Franco Scaglione, to design the re-profiled bodywork. Rocco Motto in Turin would fabricate it. But Rocco's contribution was merely a fleeting one as, having manufactured the first three shells and received part payment for the entire run, he disappeared on what was described at the time as 'an unplanned holiday'. Production quickly got switched to another Turinese body builder, the little Viarengo & Filipponi firm moving heaven and earth to complete the last 18 aluminium shells. After all the logistical problems of working with the Italian's was over, the GTL was able to do its talking on the track, securing a hat-trick of of Le Mans 24 Hour class victories between 1960 and '62. The first example was completed in late February 1960 and would have been finished sooner if only there had been sufficient space for the engine - its dimensions not having been taken into consideration when the prototype was designed back in Italy! All 21 were built on chassis's and floorpans taken directly from Porsche's 356 B Carrera GT, this car featuring all-round independent suspension and hydrualically operated drum brakes. Discs were quickly introduced though, the factory using an experimental set on their works entry in 1960's Le Mans 24 Hours - the GTL's third race.

No less than five different types of engine were used in these cars between 1960 and '64, 1.6-litre motors initially with 115bhp being fitted but soon afterwards, both 128 and 135bhp units saw service, both with straight-through competition exhausts. Even hotter two-litre versions with 155 and 180bhp were also plumbed in, but quite amazingly, even with the intermediate 128bhp 1.6 installed, Herbert Linge and Paul-Ernst Strahle were timed at 150.2mph down the Mulsanne Straight in 1960's Le Mans. The only existing body parts carried over from the regular 356 were the headlamps although these were now set well back into the front wings and could later be fitted with Plexiglas covers.

Scaglione's elongated nose housed a prominent radiator duct flanked by two distinctive pods that were either used as brake-cooling channels or supplementary light bays. Another interesting detail was the heavily louvred engine lid that in true Abarth style could be propped wide open. Some cars even featured cockpit-controlled scoops located between the two highest banks of vents on the rear lid. But although Scaglione was able to reduce the GTL's frontal area by an impressive 16% compared to the regular 356, instantly acquitting it with a far more drag resistant profile, it certainly wasn't the prettiest thing on the track. Inside, cockpits were spartanly finished as you would expect, identical aluminium bucket seats to those of the GT normally being trimmed in black leatherette with velour centres. Porsche instruments were housed in a new lightweight aluminium dash. Binnacles of early GTL's featured two main dials, later models housing three, but all were fronted by an exquisite triple aluminium spoked, wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel. Pretty uncomfotable for most tall drivers though, the GTL's cut-down windscreen meant headroom was at a premium. Various weight-saving measures ensured the Porsche-Abarth tipped the scales around 50kg lighter than a regular Carrera GT, but the German marque were unhappy for a number of reasons. Poor build quality, leaking seals and an insufficient steering radius convinced them that the collaboration with Abarth should go no further.

However, Porsche couldn't have been disappointed with the GTL's record in the World Manufacturers Championship. They would go on to take three consecutive class victories at Le Mans and no less than four in the Targa Florio. Porsche also secured a hat-trick of class wins in the Nurburgring 1000km, Germay's highest profile endurance race. There were three class wins at Sebring and two at Montlhery, GTL's also triumphing at Daytona, Bridgehampton and the Rossfeld Hillclimb. There has always been some disagreement with regard to exactly how many were originally built, but we believe 21 cars were eventually manufactured with chassis numbers ranging from 1001 to 1021.

"Многабукав" для этого форума.

так заведено на этом форуме, что пздболов не спрашивают, ты против?
балаболка форумная)

Пока только твои сообщения не несут никакой информационной нагрузки.

Из разряда мечты. Молодой американский паренек Matt не только мечтал о viper'e, но и сделал это своей целью (думаю, что промежуточной). Он честно заработал на него и купил его. Рад за парня.
Мечты сбываются!

твои дофига несут :-D пздеть не мешки ворочать :-) чего на автоспорте язык в опу засунул? :-)иди расскажи нам на чем ты поедешь на асфальтовую гонку :-)

Молодой! Молодец однако!
Хорошенько видать потрудился...

С их ценниками на американ кары, и вообще автомобили , б.у. вайпер себе может позволить фактически каждый работающий человек.

Скажите а какие расходники предполагаются к применению на этой гадюке? Например, какое моторное масло будет использоваться?

какую еще асфальтовую гонку? Ты че бредишь?

Больше чем твои, его хоть читать интересно, тебя - противно, разбирайся на автоспорте с ним или в личке.

если б я жил в пиндосии, то наверное тоже бы мечтал о вайпере, там цены у них сладкие, да и зарплаты нормальные :-)

какие-то общие направления в дизайне все же прослеживаются ИМХО

ага, лотус Севен, щас найду ссылку ... скину

ну с мечтой я погорячился, просто подумал было бы интересно собрать такой машин у себя в гараже своими руками, а потом ездить, здесь несколько плюсов: 1) цена не очень большая 2) собирать можно постепенно, не обязательно выкладывать всю сумму сразу... это как дом строить, можно год, можно два и тд
;-)

После этой покупки, у Мэта закончились деньги,банк отказал в кредите,и теперь Мэт может только любоваться на свой автомобиль изредка протирая его от пыли :lol: :lol: :lol: С уважением Мак

Если там жить то онли NY, остальное - колхоз и убожество, а там с вайпером на тебя посмотрят как на дауна, вроде как в МСК, где авто начинается с последнего CL/конти/6-er/S

Кравсавчик!

Какие???.... Дверь? :-D.... Тогда все машины 60-х - это одна хрень :-D


давай)

Ты в натуре пздбол!... Скока ты времени провел в NY и других городах США? :-D

чувак покажи свою фотку))

Построй вместо лотуса дом, сдавай его или продай сразу и купи 500сильный катэрхэм :-D

Нисколько, че я дебил трахаться с посольством и визами чтобы поехать в эту деревню.

уже выкладывал, и не одну, пошукай поиском :super:

:-D... :vis:
