If you ask any Porsche enthusiast, what is the best 911 ever built? Most agree: the 1987-89 Carrera. Why? It's simple, really. It is the last 911 to feature a body style now considered "classic" and the first to incorporate technological advancements such as the vaunted GETRAG G-50 transmission. The Carrera struck the perfect balance between old school and jet age. It is a far cry from the hyper-complex, bloated, electronically regulated, heavyweight 4-seater offered up by Zuffenhausen today. No, this Carrera is the last user friendly Porsche that can be worked on with hand tools instead of plug-and-play computers. Thusly, 26 years later, the last 3.2 Carreras are eminently collectible sports cars. "Buy The Best original example of the Classic you desire, and you'll never be sorry!" is certainly great advice. But finding a pristine example of the 1987-89 G-50 Carrera is not that easy. After 25+ years, these cars are so good that many have logged over 200,000 miles; and are finally showing their age, needing everything. Not surprisingly, perhaps, resale values for the coveted "G-50 Carreras" are strong; typically, higher-mileage examples with questionable repair history carry $20-30K price tags. Finding an immaculate 911, one of the top 1% of survivors, is like winning the lottery. One of just 2,232 Carrera Targas made for the 1988 model year, VIN *WP0EB0916JS160255* comes with only 71,425 miles (hardly broken in) and a clean Vehicle History Report to prove it. Living a sheltered life among a private Porsche collection owned by a mature, prominent businessman in Monterey, the car has never left the Golden State. Hence, a unique opportunity arises to obtain a coveted 3.2 liter Carrera, one that spent all its life in a most beneficial climate, pampered beyond belief by an owner with big pockets and the willingness to pay up for the best service money can buy. Let's check out this dream find now, inside and out. We start our inspection with the trunk, since this area can deliver valuable clues about a Porsche's true condition.
The featherlight, folding Targa top can be stowed inside the trunk to facilitate unrestricted open-air pleasures. Complete tool roll is still present.
Below the perfect gray felt mat, everything looks pristinely original.
The naked trunk reveals the naked truth. Looking forward, from the untouched VREDESTEIN Space Master spare to the corrosion free battery area; everything is as virginal as it gets.
With or without the top, this black Carrera looks striking.
And yes, the finish is 100% original!
To call the paint "well preserved" would be a gross understatement; the truly marvelous finish has retained its magical luster over the years and still appears stunningly beautiful today.
Euro side markers are a nice addition This Targa has never suffered any damage; there are no door dings, only few blems and rock chips to report.
Hood and door gaps are in perfect alignment; confirming the Carrera's pampered existence for the past 26 years.
Porsche rolls on the 16-inch FUCHS wheels with Toyo Proxes tires of the size 205/55R16 front and 245/50R16 rear. While we’re down on one knee, let’s have a look underneath. Area below trunk, including the front suspension pan, looks marvelous as well. It's damage free, clean as a whistle, with all factory finishes preserved in reference quality. More important than shiny paint is a healthy undercarriage. This original chassis presents itself free of any kind of damage or corrosion. Perfectly undisturbed, the undercarriage displays all the factory-applied coatings, including some Zuffenhausen-generated paint overspray. There's no rust, no flaking, no damage, just the all-original finishes.
Most importantly, there is absolutely NO evidence of corrosion, collision damage or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights.
How about a quick peek under the deck lid?
Engine compartment looks bone stock and clean as a whistle. Even the factory decals are still in place.
The indestructible 3.2-Liter engine featuring BOSCH MOTRONIC runs excellent, delivering 217 strong Teutonic horses at 5,900rpm. Woo-Hoo!!
Please, note that this matching numbers engine is completely stock and unmodified; even the emissions equipment is still present and fully operational.
Frog's eye view: Notice stainless steel exhaust system. Engine's bottom end. Dry and clean, there's not a single oil leak to note. Recently serviced, no wear item has been left unattended; as a result, this Carrera is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically.
Speaking of cosmetics, let us stress how immaculate the body is, how perfect the bumpers, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at a 6-year-old, not a 26-year-old car. This one is that clean!
Let's have a look inside now!
The inviting, 6-way power front seats exude a fantastic aroma; let's investigate!
Classic black 911 interior provides plenty of space, even for 6'6"-tall NBA players.
Leather rear seats; "Pristine" is the only way to describe them properly. Car is fully optioned with ice cold A/C, power disc brakes, seats, mirrors, windows, and even cruise control. Everything works perfectly, of course.
The iconic 911 cockpit featuring five large, circular, white-on-black dials with bright orange pointers, a timeless design. You can't improve upon perfection!
Note the new-for-'88 steering wheel.
And the 071,423 miles shown on the 6-digit odometer are original!
From the Cruise Control to the Blaupunkt AM/FM Cassette audio system; everything still works and sounds great..
Books, manuals, and documents found inside the red vinyl pouch include the owner's manual, maintenance book, dealer directory, accessories brochure and radio instruction manual. And there's also a spare key set. The condition of this leather interior is consistent only with a cherished, low-mileage car that's been garaged all its life.
Drivability: Driving such a low-mileage Carrera is a pure delight; praised be the German engineers. The car starts, runs, drives, shifts, corners, and stops perfectly.
Naturally, a super clean Porsche like this one is a prime attention getter, garnering excited comments wherever you go. From the air conditioner to the clock, everything works as intended. Recently serviced, (receipts included) there's nothing left to do but to drive and enjoy!
The GETRAG G-50 5-speed transmission with its BORG WARNER synchromesh system certainly can handle the Carrera motor's torque; the hydraulic clutch ensures ease of operation. Be it as a daily driver or a cherished collectible, this 911 provides unequalled driving enjoyment, free of depreciation.
You will not see another '87-'89 Carrera coming even close to this particular low-mileage specimen. It's a pristine car, inside and out, with full documentation and no stories. A true heirloom quality 911, with proper care it can be driven forever, until you are ready to pass it on to the next generation. Final words of wisdom: Presently, we have a clear, CA Title.

Porsche updates 919 Hybrid racer for 2015 season
Sun, Jan 18 2015Porsche's grand return to the elite level of global endurance racing showed mixed success in its first year. The company did score one victory in the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship season during the race in Brazil but finished in third place overall among the three factory manufacturers. Porsche is hoping for a few more wins in 2015 and is releasing its first shots of the updated car to achieve those triumphs when things kick off in April. The team's racer is still called the 919 Hybrid, but Porsche promises this second-generation version is a "comprehensive evolution" compared to last year. The most obvious change is the redesigned front end where the styling now features a simple horizontal intake running across the front (compare to 2014, below). The nose area also now flares out to the windshield. The side grows a more complicated look, though, with a series of fins just behind the driver compartment. Porsche isn't divulging many details about anything different under the skin. The 2015 919 is still propelled by a 2.0-liter turbocharged V4, and an electric motor powers the front wheels. There are also two energy recovery systems. In addition to the previous challengers from Audi and Toyota, Porsche has one more competitor in the factory ranks this season. The Nissan GT-R LM Nismo is rumored to be a radical departure from the rest of the field with an engine possibly located in front of the driver. Read the German brand's very brief release about the updated 919 Hybrid below and click through the gallery to see how it looks. Track debut for 2015 Porsche 919 Hybrid Stuttgart. Extensive testing with the second generation of Porsche's Le Mans prototype will begin on January 18, on Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit. As scheduled, this marks the start of the 2015 motorsport season for the Porsche Team. The new Porsche 919 Hybrid has already had its roll-out on the Weissach test track. As a next step, there will be several performance and endurance tests before the WEC season opener on April 12 in Silverstone, Great Britain. The new Porsche 919 Hybrid is a comprehensive evolution of the successful car that made its debut in 2014. It will feature the same innovative drivetrain concept consisting of a 2-litre V4 turbocharged petrol engine, an electric motor powering the front wheels, and two energy recovery systems. The new generation car had its first roll-out on December 15, 2014.
Audi RS7 vs. Porsche Panamera Turbo, which would you pick? [w/poll]
Wed, 08 Jan 2014We live in a blessed time - a time when you can buy not just one, but two (or three, or four) monstrously powerful, blazingly fast four-doors that can't only keep up with modern supercars, but in some instances, will outperform them as well. Two of the finest are the Audi RS7 and the refreshed Porsche Panamera Turbo, and Motor Trend has been messing around with the both of them in this comparison video.
MT provides a comprehensive and entertaining look at the RS7 and the turbocharged Panamera as they go through a battery of tests, before getting tossed about on both the road and the track. Starring flip-flop aficionado Jonny Lieberman, it's a must-watch, whether you're in the market for one of the two super sedans or merely want to see the former Autoblog editor again.
After having a look at the video, register a vote for the car you'd park in your driveway in our poll. Hop below for the full video from the team at Motor Trend.
Porsche 918 Spyder to birth stretched 2+2 version?
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Porsche is known for its ability to spin off a litter of variants from a single model, and according to a report in Automobile the 918 Spyder (pictured here) might not be spared the house trick. Having taken too many brains and too much money for too much time, company chiefs are said to be examining ways to get more for their development euro out of the supercar, and Plan A is apparently otherwise known as Plan 984. That would be a four-seater, rear-wheel drive supercar that uses a stretched mold of the 918's carbon fiber tub, keeping the V8 in the same mid-mounted place and costing around 350,000 euro.
That would be less than half the MSRP of its inspiration, but the details don't sketch out a car that's just half as good. Automobile speculates it would get something like 700 horsepower in order to best the coming 911 GT2, and about 440 pound-feet of torque. The 984 is quite a ways short of being confirmed; even though a full-size study is said to exist, it's like the 918 would need to become a bigger sales hit for the 984 to happen.
The 984's fortunes don't change those of the 960, the supercoupe Porsche is building to challenge Ferrari. Its potential specs haven't changed since the last report in January, power coming from a 5.0-liter, twin-turbo, eight-cylinder boxer engine with something like 650 hp pushing a curb weight of roughly 3,100 pounds. The means a suspected 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of 2.5 seconds.
