1960 Porsche D'ieteren Roadster, Last Single Grill Roadster Made, Needs Nothing on 2040-cars
Fairfax, Virginia, United States
|
1961 D'Ieteren Roadster. It is the last single grill example made, Nr 89483. The engine is built on a 1960 Normal case, number P604667. A very strong engine, it was rebuilt with Solex carbs, Mahle Ps and Cs, and a mild cam. There was a info sheet with details of the build but at the time of listing it has not been located. MSD distributor and ignition system. 12 Volt electricals, small diameter generator. Painted silver, it was originally finished in Ivory 6004. Gray square weave carpet with binding to match the Lobster leather.
The metal work, body, and mechanicals were done to a very high standard by Lowell Sivey approximately 10 years ago. No rust. It drives beautifully, and honestly needs nothing other than to be driven and maintained. It has been stored in a climate controlled garage, and driven less than 4000 miles since the work was completed. The odometer reads the miles driven since the restoration was completed, not the actual mileage, Routine maintenance was performed as needed. It was restored some years ago, and It is nicer in most ways than many freshly restored examples. The car is available for inspection by appointment in Northern Virginia. The buyer is responsible for timely pickup and shipment of the vehicle, we can suggest a reliable carrier. |

Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
Mon, 13 Jan 2014With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.
Porsche kicks off Macan production at revamped Leipzig plant
Sun, 16 Feb 2014After over two years of construction and roughly 500 million euros ($684 million at current rates) invested, Porsche finally opened its Leipzig, Germany, factory expansion on February 11. The improvements to the plant are dedicated to building the Macan and include a new body shop, paint shop and assembly line that are advancing Porsche's goal to sell 50,000 Macan's per year. The company believes that the new model is going to push it to over 200,000 annual sales 3 years ahead of schedule, and the enlarged branch can support even more Macan production, if there is demand.
"We are totally convinced in the qualities of this location and that the Macan will be a marketing success," said Porsche Chairman Matthias Müller during the opening celebration. The company opened its Leipzig factory in 2002 to build the Cayenne and added Panamera production in 2009.
The Macan models are due to launch in the US this summer with prices starting at $49,900. Scroll down to learn all of the details about the Macan's Leipzig assembly plant.
Porsche Cayman GT4 spot has us reaching for our driving gloves
Wed, Feb 4 2015We've got to hand it to Porsche for finally unleashing the potential of the Cayman, and not worrying about it infringing on 911 territory. The latest Cayman is, by all accounts, a superb sports car in its own right, gets even better as the Cayman S and that much more so in GTS spec. But the new Cayman GT4 takes things to a whole other level with a 3.8-liter flat six driving 385 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. Old school is what it is, and certifiably off the leash. We brought you the full skinny on the new GT4 late last night when it surfaced, but now Porsche has released a video clip highlighting what makes its new pocket rocket look so great. It's got Nurburgring graffiti, intimidated neighbors, barking fluffy dogs, gape-jawed children, and of course footage of the Cayman GT4 itself doing what it was designed to do. All we need now is to get our driving gloves on its Alcantara steering wheel and ball-shaped shifter.
