1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible This is a 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera that is in the process of undergoing a custom wide body transformation. This car just needs a little bit more time and it can be finished into a gorgeous show car. The car comes with a clean history report and clean NYS Title. I have posted with this listing a picture of the car in its original state prior to modifications. As you can see the car was an original non damaged car to start with. The convertible top operates perfectly, the car runs and drives 100%. The only modifications made are to the body. The car has its original hood (with proper Porsche stickers adhered by factory). The interior of the car is immaculate and all original. I have some miscellaneous parts that will come with the car as well for the completion of the project. The bumper has mesh inserts that can me painted the same color as the car or a contrasting color. I have a lot of pictures of the car as it went thru the upgrade process that I will include with the sale of the car. The following upgrades have been made: BODY KIT: The Body Kit came from Better Bodies Motor Sport in San Diego CA. betterbodiesmotorsport.com This kit is the 996 GTR 750 Wide Body Kit Kit includes: front bumper, front and rear flares, side rockers, GTR rear bumper with an MSRP of $3200.00 996 Twin Turbo style rear quarter air ducts w/splitters custom designed for the Stock 996 with an MSRP of $350.00 The body kit has been installed on the car. Original front and rear fenders cut and body kit epoxied onto the original body. Rockers have been installed and custom brackets made for support. Rear custom air ducts have been measured and put in place. Custom brackets were made for the bumpers and the bumpers have been sanded and adjusted for custom fit so that body lines match. The hardest part and most time consuming part of the the installation of a body kit has already been done. DOORS: These lambo vertical doors are a labor and pocket book of love! The hinges are from LSD-Doors Part #50071002 MSRP $3988.99 This gull wing door kit allows you to open your original doors in Lamborghini Style. In the course of installation the factory hinges have been replaced with vehicle specific LSD fittings. These doors operate perfectly, they have been professionally installed and the doors have been rewired so that all door options operate as they were meant to (power windows, power locks etc.) During the installation process a replacement washer reservoir is needed and has been installed on this car as well. Part #68520006 MSRP 132.00 WHEELS: The rims are 19" Porsche Wheels in Black and Chrome finish. Made from strong aircraft quality aluminum. USA RIM MSRP: $1495.00 TIRES: Front: Falken FK-452 235/35/19 Rear: Falken FK-452 315/25/19 MSRP: $1400.00 These tires are brand new! Spacers were bought from Better Bodies Motorsport for the upgraded wider wheels and tires. We put 1 inch spacers on the front of the car and 1.5 inch spacers in the rear. MSRP $99.00 each Total of $496.00 CALIPERS: All 4 Calipers have been professionally powder coated in Red paint. Porsche Decal placed on them and then clear coated. Cost: $1200.00 EXHAUST: Custom dual Stainless Steel Exhaust The doors and the hood are factory. They have been prepped and primed due to having some minor stone chips in the original paint. This car is a great way to have a project car but not have to start from scratch. The most expensive portions have been completed already! Just a little more labor and paint and it will be good to go! More than $50,000 invested so far, between car, parts and labor. I reserve the right to advertise and sell the car locally and end auction early if necessary. The car is being sold "as is". Please view pictures and ask questions prior to bidding. |

Porsche Panamera Turbo S vs Ariel Atom Supercharged in unlikely drag battle
Thu, 01 May 2014David 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.
2014 Porsche Cayman promo video hits the web
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Don't know how we missed this, but you don't have to play around with the 2014 Porsche Cayman configurator to see the new coupe in action; Porsche has given us more than two beautiful minutes of Cayman footage to enjoy.
The partners in the on-screen tango are the 275-horsepower base Cayman and the 325-hp Cayman S. If you like to keep track of such things, the former starts at $52,600, the latter at $63,800, plus $950 destination for each. Watching a video like the one below, however, is free.
2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 24 Feb 2014I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.
