VIDEO: Carrera GT Owners Invited to Silverstone for Porsche Experience

On a lunch break? Then you've got enough time to watch a couple videos about the recent Carrera GT celebration at Silverstone, where Porsche invited some owners out for a day at the track.

Fair warning: they're videos showcasing the Porsche Experience at Silvestone Circuit, meaning they're a little one-sided (not that I can see anything wrong with the car).

In the videos you'll get a brief history and overview of the car, an interview with Tony Hatter (one of the Carrera GT's designers), a close-up look at the chassis, and owners' opinions on their cars.

More Than 900 Buyers Express Interest in Porsche's 918 Spyder Hybrid

Porsche's 918 hybrid super car may have as many as 900 serious fans, a number which will likely be used to help executives make a decision on putting the green Carrera GT successor into production, according to a report from Bloomberg news.

The Porsche 918 concept, which made its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, is powered by a 500-horsepower 3.4 liter V8 hooked up to electric motors which should return 78 mpg (3 liters / 100km), hit 100km/h (62mph) in 3.2 seconds, and speed around the 'Ring faster than its predecessor, the Carrera GT

It would need at least 1,000 committed parties to create a "sound business case", according to Wolfgang Dürheimer, Porsche development head.

During the auto show in Beijing, Dürheimer said, "I'm confident that we will soon reach the threshold of 1,000." Me, too.
