This Carrera Cabriolet is referred to as the 996 series made from 1998 to 2004, the first of the water cooled 911s.
It comes with a removable hard top with rollable stand which is rare at it gives the car a totally different look
with the hard top. Two cars in one. Note some pictures have the top and some do not. This is one of the cleanest
Porches you have ever seen. Interior, exterior and engine look as if it has just come off the show room floor. Just
18,946 miles. As some may know this year’s 996 had a problem with the intermediate shaft bearing. This car had
the $2,200 fix and I can provide a copy of the paid invoice showing it was fixed as well as all servicing records.
If anyone has heard of this problem I suggest they read a certain article titled, "How To Own A Ridiculously Cheap
And Reliable Porsche 911". To find it google the entire title and it is the first article that shows up. It is
about how these cars are a “ridiculously” good deal especially when the fixes when done early like this one.
The color is also a rare one - pastel yellow. Pictures aren’t doing it justice. It has all leather seats.
Attached a copy of the spec sheet showing all the extras that went along with it as well as the window sticker.
I am selling this for my dad who was the third owner of it. He is 80 and it is just too hard for him to get in and
out of it so he hardly drove it the last 2.5 years he owned it. It is one of four cars he owns. My brother and I
joke this was his favorite son as it got better care than we did. There are no issues, no accidents. Current on all
service.
Comes with too many features to mention them all. Zoom in the spec picture if you can to see the details. Not shown
in the spec sheet is the aftermarket phone system called Parrot my dad had installed. Also, comes with $2,000 worth
of fitted Porsche luggage as seen in one of the pictures as well as all the service records. The air is ice cold.
Clean Carfax, comes with all the keys, manuals, heated seats. Wheels are mint. Comes with an indoor AND an outdoor
cover. Always garaged. If you want me to take pictures from a certain angle or underneath car, just let me know.
This is a truly rare special car and whoever gets it will be getting a bargain.

Porsche responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events

Tue, 13 May 2014

Porsche has found itself in the good graces of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is pretty odd considering it's the only brand we know of that offers leather-lined vents. The activist group is praising the sports car manufacturer's handling of reports that some of its dealerships were set to feature tigers or tiger cubs at the local launch events for the Macan. Apparently, "macan" is the Malay word for tiger, which explains the connection between a highly touted crossover and a jungle cat.
A Tampa, FL dealership already displayed some three-week-old cubs, with PETA saying tigers for display should be at least eight to 12 weeks old. Even then, the group argues that the animals can suffer due to stress, malnourishment, neglect and a lack of veterinary care. The group brings up legal concerns, as well, arguing that if one of the cubs bit a customer, the dealership could be held liable (we're no big cat experts, but it seems unlikely a three-week-old cub could do that much damage).
Porsche's PR department quickly reacted to PETA's claims, with Vice President of Marketing Andre Oosthuizen, telling the group that Porsche is concerned about the "welfare of any animal, large or small, wild or domesticated." Oosthuizen's statements were reported in an official PETA blog.

Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]

Sun, 07 Apr 2013

Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.

Porsche Panamera Turbo S vs Ariel Atom Supercharged in unlikely drag battle

Thu, 01 May 2014

David versus Goliath battles are always an enticing proposition, because they offer the chance to watch scrappy underdogs take on their bigger rivals. Evo has set up just such a battle with its latest drag race between the minimalist Ariel Atom 3.5 Supercharged (Ariel Atom 3 pictured below) and the plush Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
The two cars couldn't be more different. The Atom personifies Lotus founder Colin Chapman's well-known axiom: "Simplify, then add lightness." Most of the car doesn't even have a body; it's just an exposed frame with a 310 horsepower supercharged Honda four-cylinder mounted behind the driver. On the other side, there's the Panamera Turbo S. In the latest version, it packs 570 hp and 553 pound-feet from its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and it features all-wheel drive. Of course, all of that comes with a significant weight penalty.
Off the line, the differences are even more apparent. The Atom doesn't have any of the Porsche's technological wizardry, so launching it challenges the driver to build the revs and let out the clutch just right. The car screams like a banshee as it goes, though. The Porsche is the exact opposite. Its launch control system lets the driver hold down the brake, get on the throttle and accelerate away in just the right way.
