1986 Porsche 911 Factory Wide Body Cabriolet, Code M470. The Factory M470 option is a ''Turbo Look'' body but deletes the front and rear spoilers. Only 36 cabriolets were built in 1986 with the Factory M470 making it one of the rarest versions of the Carrera built and it produced a roadster look that set the stage for the 1989 Speedster.

 28,548 mile example offered here is presented in Grand Prix White over two tone red interior, black convertible top and color keyed Fuchs.

 It was delivered new in the great state of Massachusetts optioned with Turbo Look, Spoiler Delete, Tonneau Cover, Heated Seats, Blaupunkt Radio, Central Locking System, Full Power Seat, Cruise Control, Alarm System, US Standard Emissions, Power Top, and Dunlop Tires. Circa 1989, the car was sold to an enthusiast in Tennessee where it remained for next 11 years then to California where it has remained until our recent acquisition. The car sits in excellent running and driving condition and is powered by its original 3.2 liter engine.

I have receipts from 2013 for $1,684.83 with most notable things being all new wheel bearings and shift linkage adjusted and repaired for proper shifting. This is all the records I have. What you see is what you get. I don't know anything else about the car and why the color change was done.

COA on hand showing numbers matching and factory colors. Clean and free title in hand. Clean CarFax!

This Porsche has had a color change some 15 years ago for the taste of the owner at that time from the original Crystal Green metallic over blue leather. This car has not been serviced in years and should be gone through top to bottom. Car does run and drive good with no smoke. AC does not work. This is being sold as a project car to bring back to life. 

This car is sold AS-IS where is. I am a licensed and bonded dealer in the state of Michigan. $199 Doc fee will be added to cost of the car.

Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach package does 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

Porsche marketers are having a field day with the 918 Spyder after some last-minute tuning improved the car's performance. They now say that it's so fast it's already beaten itself. Let us explain: Using a Weissach package-equipped 918 as an example (which reduces the plug-in hybrid supercar's weight through the deletion of some interior items, more generous use of carbon fiber and magnesium wheels), the car's previous official 0-62 miles-per-hour time of 2.8 seconds has been cut to 2.6. Additionally, 0-124 mph takes 7.2 seconds and 0-186 mph is dispatched in 19.9 seconds, times that were reduced by half a second and 2.1 seconds, respectively.
In all-electric mode, a non-Weissach pack 918 does 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds (with the package, 6.1 seconds), down from 6.9 seconds. Efficiency is also improved thanks to the final tuning. The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) rating of a Weissach pack-equipped car equates to 94 miles per gallon, up three mpg compared to before. That's pretty good for a car with 887 horsepower!
Check out the press release below for more details on how Porsche's final tuning measures improved its flagship supercar.

Muffler Man gets racing suit to mark progress on Porsche Experience Center

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

In a dramatic change of careers, a fiberglass Muffler Man statue on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway, formerly known as "Golf Guy," traded in his clubs for a Porsche driver's suit a couple days ago. It's no coincidence, as he's standing on land that the German automaker bought from the Dominguez Hills Golf Course a couple years ago to build its west coast Porsche Experience Center - which will be complete with a test track, restoration and maintenance facilities, a cafe and restaurant, a home for Porsche Motorsports North America and more, when it's finished in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Porsche Muffler Man will serve as the gatekeeper to the 53-acre center and overlook the test track on the side of the 405 freeway. We can't think of a better job for a fiberglass giant that used to watch golf all day than to watch Porsche road cars and racecars getting wrung out on a test track in the middle of LA. Since Muffler Men are quite adaptable, we're sure this one will fit into his new role in no time - just as easily as he can double as Paul Bunyan.
Check out the press release below for more information on the Muffler Man and the experience center, which could be the ultimate adult playground when it's finished.

The 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S brings 50 extra ponies to Detroit

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Porsche has announced a new version of its popular SUV today at the Detroit Auto Show: the 550-horsepower 2014 Cayenne Turbo S.
This newly minted "flagship" of the Cayenne lineup is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine, and offers 50 hp more than the Cayenne Turbo. Performance figures are impressive for the sleek utility vehicle: 0-60 miles per hour can be dashed off in 4.3 seconds, while maximum speed is rated at 175 mph. The Turbo S also gets dynamic chassis control, torque vectoring and Porsche's Sport Chrono package - all standard equipment.
Visually the Cayenne Turbo S differentiates itself from the lesser models in pretty subtle ways. Gloss black trim decorates the gawping front air intakes, as well as rear-view mirror trim panel. The SUV also wears 21-inch Turbo II wheels, a la the 911 Turbo.
