For sale is my beautiful and well-loved 1997 Carrera C2S with Tiptronic S transmission. It’s an ultra rare
wide-body 993 finished in special-ordered Forest Green over Cashmere interior. This C2S
shows extremely well. I shudder to even call this a driver. It is a very clean car from the inside out. It was
never abused, no rain, and absolutely no salty roads as evidenced by the corrosion/rust free undercarriage.

Interior
The interior is easily 9/10. The instruments and dash are clean, and no fading or cracking. The tan carpet is
excellent with no stains or dirty spots anywhere (Yes, even the driver side carpeting). The optional draped
leather seating is soft and in overall excellent shape. The driver’s seat has minor outboard bolster wear, not
unusual after 60k miles of driving pleasure. Two sets of floor mats come with the car- the original tan mats in
very good condition, and new black mats should you prefer some darker contrast. Headliner is clean. All electricals
are functional as they should. Driver’s door check-strap repaired prior to my ownership- no issues or odd noises.
Heat works great and A/C blows cold.
Exterior
The body and paint are in excellent condition. I meticulously performed paint-correction on the car about 1 year
ago to address some minor swirling. To this day, the paint still glistens with deep wet clarity you can only
achieve with dark paints. I would rate the exterior 8.5 to 9/10. The car has some paint scratches during removal of
the old stone guards. This didn’t bother me enough to warrant repainting the rear fenders. The windshield has no
stone damage/crack. All glass are as new. This is a no accident car. All panels are original to the car. The
front bumper, hood, and fenders were resprayed prior to my ownership for rock chips. Paint match is perfect! Expel
clear bra protects the front end from any future chipping. Seals and trim pieces are in excellent condition. This
car was obviously garaged and covered its entire life. Both headlight glass lenses are in great shape. Fog lamps
like new. Tail lamps look as new. Wheels are factory original 17” Cup 2s with 225/45 fronts and 255/40 rears,
with 80% tread depth remaining. All wheels are in excellent condition with no curb marks. Brake pads and rotors are
in great shape. All 4 calipers recently refinished to correct some clear coat peeling so commonly seen at this age.
The worn out original suspension was replaced with Bilstein HD and H&R spring combo. Front lower control arm
bushings replaced with red Walrods. The handling is fantastic!

Porsche Cayenne GTS, base models revealed ahead of LA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Porsche unveiled a slew of refreshed Cayennes just a few months ago, but the base model (right) and high-performance GTS trim (above) were conspicuously absent from that list. There's no more reason to wonder about them, though, because the German brand plans to unveil both at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19.
Sitting below the Turbo in the lineup, the latest GTS still offers plenty of performance. It drops the previous version's naturally aspirated V8 in favor of a tuned version of the twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 from the Cayenne S for some added oomph. The tweaks bring power up to 440 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to rocket the model to 62 miles per hour in an estimated 5.2 seconds. The bump also equates to 20 hp and 39 lb-ft more than the current S and more importantly 20 hp and 62 lb-ft more than the previous GTS, according to Porsche.
In addition to the extra muscle, Porsche also decks the GTS out with some added features. It comes with a standard sport exhaust and Porsche Active Suspension Management system with an air suspension lets the chassis sit about three-quarters of an inch lower (20 millimeters). To bring things to a halt, the high-performance models also takes its brakes from the Turbo model.
VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
Porsche Cayenne diesel V8 may not be long for this world
Fri, Jan 23 2015Goodbye, Porsche Cayenne V8 Diesel. We hardly knew ye. Nor did the Europeans, apparently. Porsche's V8 oil burner is still on the European model list for the Cayenne SUV, but the mill won't go through the likely pricey process of being updated to adhere to new and stricter European emissions standards, Just-Auto says. A Porsche spokesman confirmed to the publication that it's a fairly complicated process to update the diesel V8 to be so-called "Euro-6 compliant." With Cayenne diesels selling in relatively low volumes anyways, the German automaker might just dump the V8 diesel altogether, as it'd be quite cost-ineffective to make the necessary upgrades. The V8 diesel was a 4.1-liter engine that delivered 385 horsepower in addition to what sounds like a little too much exhaust for European clean-air regulators. While that's a pretty powerful profile, the most recent gas-powered V8 for the Cayenne delivers about 570 horsepower, so the diesel engine won't likely be missed by European auto enthusiasts. Besides, there's still the V6 diesel that's also sold in the US. That's a 4,800-pound beast that moves from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds and gets a relatively (for diesels) modest 20 miles per gallon city. For those who are curious, Autoblog's First Drive review of that model can be found here.
