1957 PORSCHE SPEEDSTER CARRERA GT REPRODUCTION
-Mild Widebody-
'TIMELESS RACED INSPIRED TRIBUTE'
You are looking at one of the most sorted out, well designed and attention-grabbing German Tribute cars ever
fabricated. This gorgeous sports car began it's life as a "FiberFab Californian" and was recently completed
restored and improved. A fresh (5000 miles) 1835 with single TURBO motor, custom exhaust and oval tip propel this
charming little beast (190 HP estimated). A new DAN MILLER custom interior ($10K to reproduce) with custom luggage
front and rear duffle, race peddles, original style wood wheel, sound deadening, piped loop carpet, fully
upholstered trunk & lid, 914 gauges, functional roll bar with meticulous hand stitched seams and extreme attention
to every detail make it an up-close stunner and a show winner.
Package trays, storage pockets, drink pockets, custom seats with ultra comfortable bottom webbing, top of the line
faux-leather (more costly than real leather with 10x the durability and moisture resistance) , 4x 12volt accessory
plugs and a crystal clear, LOUD & MASSIVE dual amp, 1000 watt sound system complete with blue tooth, concealed 6
speakers (2x 6x9"s with coved upholstered scoops to keep with retro vibe + 2x full spectrum 6"s + 10" under
dash/down firing subwoofers) complete the practicality and drivability checklist!
All Halogen and LED lighting (bright as you'd want!), vintage amber fog lights, front buckles, stone guards, custom
3m vinyl stripping, matching satin olive green/gold wheels, new tires (205/50 front 225/50 rear), racing style
front stabilizer/sway bar, new brakes (front disc, rear drum)
I have had many of these "replicas"...this is unique among the pack. Recently we took a 1200 mile trip to
Rennsport Reunion 2015, Laguna Seca Raceway for the largest Porsche meet possibly in the world; the president of
the Vintage Speedster Owners' club put our car in the very front and said ...QUOTE:
"This is what a true enthusiast's reproduction should look and sound like....not everyone can afford a real
speedster nor would they drive it on the street...you hit the nail on the head, man!!"
Did I mention that hard on the throttle it sounds like an enraged banshee, yet soft on the peddle and she purrs
like a kitten...literally.
You can buy some cookie cutter version of this car, a cheaper replica for $25K BUT YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE BADDEST
SPEEDSTER TRIBUTE EVER BUILT!!!
A perfect fusion of a classic 356 tourer, Le Mans race car, classic muscle car, James Dean era icon and daily
driver.......

Porsche announces plan to replace 911 GT3 engines

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

About a month back, we reported that Porsche was suspending delivery of its 911 GT3 due to reported incidents of the engine bursting into flames. A few days later, Porsche told owners of the new track-ready models not to drive their cars and had their local dealers pick up the cars in question. Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Porsche was working on a fix, and now we have the official details.
Following an internal investigation prompted by two such incidents, Porsche has confirmed that is has identified the problem as resulting "from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod." The loose connecting rod, Porsche found, damaged the crankcase, which in turn resulted in oil leaking and then - in at least two cases - igniting.
Our source is unaware of Porsche being contacted by GT3 owners concerned about the impact of a replacement engine on their car's collectibility or resale value.

Porsche Macan sales may push brand past 200K unit goal early

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

In late 2010, Volkswagen announced that it would spend the equivalent of $71 billion through 2015 to beef up its product lineup, determined to overtake Toyota in overall sales and profitability by 2018. Each of VW's many brands, in turn, would play its part contributing to a goal of 10 million sales per year. VW-owned Porsche was expected to sell 200,000 vehicles per year by 2018, but with the imminent arrival of the Macan small sport utility vehicle in 2014, the automaker is poised to meet that goal years ahead of schedule, Automotive News reports.
Porsche sold 143,096 cars in 2012, and IHS Automotive predicts Porsche will sell 63,000 Macans in 2014, according to Automotive News, which would make it the brand's best-selling vehicle. Do the math and you can see how Porsche could easily beat original expectations ahead of schedule. But Porsche's sales and marketing boss Bernhard Maier says not so fast: "We will not offer [63,000 Macans] in 2014 as we will still be ramping up production and introducing models top down," he told Automotive News Europe. Whether Porsche surpasses the 200,000 mark early or not, he said, the company will not set a new sales target and will remain committed to its business model.
The Macan shares its architecture with the Audi Q5, but Porsche will be able to charge more for its SUV. Tim Urquhart, a senior analyst at IHS Autmotive, told Automotive News that Porsche can charge 10 to 20 percent more, for what is basically the same SUV, than other VW Group brands. How's that for brand value?
