I am putting up my 1999 Porsche Carrera 4 Cabriolet ,for your consideration. I am Running out of garage space and I have to decide what must go if I am to add anything else. This Superb Carrera 4 Cabriolet is finished in Guards Red with Black Supple full leather interior. The full Leather interior means almost everything is covered in leather, doors, dash, console ,side panels, even air vents ,in other words full leather interior. The car has a black fully automated and fully lined power convertible top. This is one of the best and most desirable color combos for this car and the overall look is further enhanced by the beautiful Porsche sport classic 3 piece 18” alloy wheels, toped off by the Chrome exhaust tips. The interior is also highlighted by Porsche design carbon fiber center tunnel ,steering wheel, shift knob and hand brake lever. The car has the full power seat package ,with drivers side memory, factory cd changer, Sport touring package as well as the factory Hard top. That mostly takes care of how the car is equipped ,and now for the much more important description on the cars overall condition. That can be summed up in one word really, Superb. This is without a doubt one of if not the nicest 99 Carrera 4 cabs out there period. Not only condition and mechanical wise but service wise as well. I bought the car from the family of the second owner who had purchased it from Baker Porsche in SC. A little over 10 years ago, as a fully certified Porsche. I purchased it from his family after he had passed away. This car has spent it’s whole life in the south. The car has NO paint work except for minor touch up’s of little rock chips and small scratches ,that need very close inspection to even find. The paint looks stunning and has maintained it’s gloss and shine just like it did when it left the factory 15 years ago. There has been NO body work NOR has this car been in any accidents what so ever. The top works perfectly and is also in excellent condition. No rip’s ,tears, frays or weak spots at all. The rear plastic window was replaced, due to clouding( a common problem)right before I bought it. So that is in perfect condition as well. The Hard top matches the rest of the car, which means it looks perfect as well. The leather interior is excellent as well. There are no tears, rips ,drying or cracking, no shrinking or pulling at the seems or any other blemish. The interior really does look superb, especially compared to most other 996 interiors, which usually don’t wear that well. Everything works as it should, including the climate control, as well as all the LED displays( another problem area with some 996’s). I have had 9 other 911’s over the years and I bought this car just to use as a daily driver. I looked for 6 months to find the best 996 I could ( they are a very underrated Porsche and if maintained properly makes great drivers). Since owning this low mileage beauty I have done what anyone looking at any 911 from 1999 to 2008 should do, which is Replace the IMS bearing with an updated part as well as replacing the RMS with an updated seal as well. While I was having that done I also had a New Clutch put in . I also had my shop go over the car and fix any other little thing that was needed as well as flush all fluids, including the gearbox and differentials. I have changed the oil twice in the past year and approximately 3000 miles I have put on the car. When not driven the car is always garaged and covered in a car capsule, which is how I keep all my cars, hence the need for space. This car needs absolutely nothing and can be driven with supreme confidence anywhere in the country for many miles and years to come. Now you can find some cheaper Carrera 4 cabs out there, but if they aren’t in the same condition or have not been as fully serviced ,including resolving the IMS and RMS issues ,then how good a buy are they? If you buy one that has not had the updated IMS and RMS parts then you WILL have to do that service, because even if the IMS bearing is in good condition(as mine was) they will eventually fail especially 2001 to 2004 models using the single row bearing. With this car there is no worries at all , it’s already done and done right with the right parts. With this issues addressed you can enjoy the 996 for what it is, a truly great driving 911. This was the first of the more civilized 911’s and is great on the highway for high speed cruising compared to the older air cooled cars, which were much more high stung and noisy and the highway. Not only that but with all the so called 996 engine problems addressed they are actually a lot more reliable then the old Metzger designed air cooled engines( as great as they were). I’ve had them all and can attest to that. Please keep my description of this Carrera 4 Cab in mind, as well a looking at all the pictures I have of this car(over 150 on the link),when making an offer or a bid. This isn’t a fire sale or anything like it ,in fact I just might keep the car and deal with my garage space issue another way. There is an old saying you get what you pay for and in this case you will be getting a worry free superb 1999 Carrera 4 cab, definitely one of the best ones you will find. Thank you for looking at my posting and you will not be disappointed in this beauty.

Next Porsche Cayman and Boxster to be called 718?

Wed, Dec 24 2014

Porsche has spent a few years sorting out its strategy away from the 911 and its crossovers, among the moving targets being the now-moribund Ferrari-fighting 960, the still-very-much-alive variant(s) coming with the next-generation Panamera, and what appears to be a puissant Cayman that could be called the GT4. Earlier this year there were rumors that a flat-four engine would join the Stuttgart maker's lineup, and that it could go into a roadster called the 718 that would undercut the current $51,400 price of the Boxster, and the Boxster would go upscale, leapfrogging the $52,600 price of the Cayman. Then Porsche turned out the lights on the 718 project, its R&D head telling Autocar, "We have a very good entry point to the range with the Boxster, and we see no reason to go below that." But Automobile reports that while the 718 roadster is dead, the 718 name will live: a la the 911, a new 718 range will encompass coupes and convertibles spanning a wide performance envelope. The suggestion is that the Boxster and Cayman names will be retired. According to Automobile, this will give Porsche a place to put its flat-four engine, into entry level models that – countering Porsche's earlier statement – "come in at a significantly lower price than" the present Boxster. Two displacements are expected, in three outputs: a 2.0-liter with 285 horsepower, a 2.5-liter with 360 hp and a turbocharged version with 400 hp. It's also been speculated that the engine could power an entry-level Macan. It's been reported before that Porsche wants to make use of the 718 name to promote its motorsport heritage, that model having carried Stirling Moss to victory among its many racing triumphs. If it happens, even though Automobile calls it part of "a slight perspective shift," we think it'll be a big shift for the two popular models, but it's not like we haven't had time to get ready. We're told the new moniker will be introduced in 2016 as a 2017 model. News Source: Automobile via World Car Fans Porsche Convertible Coupe porsche 718

Magnus Walker and Alex Ross stop by Leno's garage with their 997 GT2

Mon, Feb 9 2015

The market is littered with Porsche 911 tuners, with names like 9ff, Gemballa and TechArt leading the field. Seldom do any two ever collaborate on a joint project, but that's just the kind of match that was made at Jay Leno's Garage. That's where Alex Ross of SharkWerks and restomodder Magnus Walker first met, sparking a collaboration that yielded the car you see here. And fittingly, they've brought it back to the garage to show off what resulted. Though Walker usually deals with older Elfens, this time he applied his eye for style on a more contemporary 2008 997 GT2, decking it out with grey stripes, orange bumpers, gold wheels and decals and a tartan-upholstered interior. He left the mechanical bits to Ross and company, who dropped the suspension and increased output to 650 horsepower at the wheels (775 at the crank), surpassing the stock GT2 and even the later GT2 RS. The result is pretty hard-core and old-school, but you'll want to watch the video above to see for yourself.

Ken Block's Gymkhana 8 to feature Dubai Police cars?

Tue, Feb 23 2016

Yesterday we showed you the shiny Ford Fiesta that Ken Block will slide, spin, and hoon through the next Gymkhana video. In case the image above isn't clear, that video will drop at midnight EST on February 30th on the Ford Performance YouTube channel. We don't know all the entire premise of the video yet, but this Tweet from the man himself reveals that the video will be set in Dubai. Block is standing on the Fiesta we saw yesterday, and arrayed behind him are a handful of those famous Dubai Police cars you're probably familiar with. The force has a fleet of sportscars and supercars, and the purpose is outreach and goodwill among its citizenry, not necessarily the pursuit of criminals. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. From left to right, we can see a Maserati GranTurismo, Porsche 911, what looks to be a Nissan GT-R obscured by Block's Fiesta, a McLaren (likely a 650S), Ford Mustang, and a Ferrari 599 of some ilk. Will they take part? Maybe Block will try and run from what might be the most horsepower-intensive police fleet in the world. We'll have answers (and a few minutes of pure Block hooniganism) in a few days. Related Video:
