This is a US version 1999 Porsche Carrera (911) (VIN: WP0AA2996XS620638) with auto transmission (Tiptronic). This is a very clean, rust free, original and lower than average mile Carrera. I bought this car for my wife as a ‘weekend car’ and it had about 86,000 miles on it back in 2011.  The car performs superbly, the cornering, the acceleration, the handling, brakes etc – it is a true Porsche.  While it is a really fun car to drive, practically speaking, my wife does not have the time to drive (with work, kids stuff etc.)  at all.  The last year, she drove it maybe a half a dozen times.  The car now has 88,100 miles on it.  We are now wanting to trade her primary car and is selling this car to partially pay for it.  Though we hate to part with the car, we also now need the garage space.

 

Let me describe the car a bit.  My wife and I bought the car from Tennessee (we live in Texas).  The prior owner also was using the car as a fun weekend car and used it sparingly.  The car has been garage kept most of its time.  I believe we are the third owners with the original first owner being in Florida.

 

This car is in original condition and state except for the wheels and radio.  The prior owner had upgraded the wheels to a 18” rim size with very low profile tires (making the car ride height very nice. The radio is an Alpine.   The paint work is in very good condition.  There appears to be some prior paint work done on the front fender, at the same time, the car finish is very nice.

 

The interior is as nice as can be. No rips, no stains, not really even much wear on the driver seat and the driver side carpet.  All the little lights work, all the handles are there, the dash and gauges are clean as can be.  The door panels great etc.  The headliner is in nice shape. The dash does not have any cracks.

 

The body is very solid and rust-free, straight and clean and shows no signs of any kind of previous body work.  The color is Red, with beige interior.  The bumpers are straight and clean, the light lenses are clean etc. 

 

The car runs great, we have had the oil changed, new battery, new tires, wheel alignment/balance.   The AC blows cold air.  The transmission shifts very smoothly, with the ability to manually downshift.

 

While the car is in good condition, running very good, a few minor items needing attention are; driver sunvisor bracket cover is loose, a few small chips on front bumper, and there appears to be some prior paint work done on the front fender.  Other than this, we are not aware of any issues, at the same time, we are selling this car ‘as-is’ with no written or implied warranties.

 

This Porsche Carrera is the replacement for the older and iconic 911 series and you will not be disappointed at the original condition of this car.  It is a blast to drive, and built solid.  It took my wife and I a while to find this car and now we are quite sad to sell it, however, have to as we do not use it much and we need the garage space.   It has a clear title and I will provide the manuals and all that came with the car. 

 

Feel free to ask as many questions as you have.  If you need the car checked out, please feel free to send your mechanic over to see the car first before you bid.  Buyer will have to pay for the transport.   I can help arrange reasonable shipping about anywhere.  I am not familiar with overseas shipping, so please enquire first.  Full payment must be received within 7 days of auction end.  I am a long time ebayer and have a very good rating/score.   I am setting a very reasonable reserve on the car and happy bidding.   Please note that we must be able to close transaction in 7 days.

 

Thanks for looking (and reading) and let me know if you have any questions at all.

Porsche designer to head Lamborghini style department

Tue, Mar 1 2016

The winds of change are blowing through the front office in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Not only does Lamborghini have a new chief executive, but not it named a new chief designer as well. And he comes from Porsche. Mitja Borkert is his name, and he's been working in the Porsche design department since 1999. He headed up its advanced design office until 2014 when he was named head of exterior design for the company. The Macan, Cayenne, and the new 987 Boxster were all heavily influenced by his work, as were concepts like the Panamera Sport Turismo and Mission E. As the new director of the Centro Stile at Lamborghini, Borkert takes over from Felippo Perini, who's heading over to run Italdesign – a job that used to belong to Wolfgang Egger. The once-independent design firm was taken over by the Volkswagen Group in 2010, and recently saw its famous founder Giorgetto Giugiaro leave to start another office afresh. The shift in the design office follows hot on the heels of the announcement that longtime CEO Stephan Winkelmann is leaving for Audi's Quattro GmbH, and that former Scuderia Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali is moving in to take his place on the outskirts of Bologna. Considering how different their design approaches are, it will be interesting to see how a longtime Porsche designer applies his skills to Lamborghinis. Will future Raging Bulls go softer and more rounded, or will Borkert have to pull some new tricks out from his sleeve? We'll be watching to find out.

In his new role Mr. Borkert is responsible for the design of future Lamborghini models and the coordination of the design team, reporting to Maurizio Reggiani, Board Member for Research and Development. He succeeds Filippo Perini, who was appointed Design Director of Italdesign. Borkert is German, aged 42, and attended the Design University of Pforzheim where he graduated in Transportation Design. In 1999, he began work at Style Porsche, in Weissach, holding various positions, including General Manager Advanced Design until 2014, when he was appointed Director of Exterior Design. He contributed to the development of several Porsche models (Panamera Sport Turismo, Porsche Boxster 987 facelift, Cayenne, Macan, Mission e).

Porsche announces four flavors of updated Cayenne [w/video]

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

The new Macan may be getting all the attention lately, but Porsche hasn't forgotten about its larger crossover - the one that put it on the map in 2002 and on the road to profitability, with over half a million sold so far. So to keep the Cayenne at the top of its game, Porsche has announced several key upgrades for the 2015 model.
For starters, Porsche has updated the Cayenne's appearance with new front- and rear-end styling. The front bumper, fenders and hood are entirely new, with air fins flanking the nose to direct air into the intercoolers (each model now being artificially aspirated), and new bi-xenon headlamps and daytime running LEDs on every model but the Turbo, which goes all-LED. Around back there's also new taillights, tailgate handle, lower rear fascia and exhaust pipes. Meanwhile the interior has been upgraded with a 918-derived sport steering wheel and reformed rear seats with available ventilation.
The bigger news is under the engine bay, where Porsche is offering four choices. The base model is gone as the range starts with the Cayenne Diesel, followed by the Cayenne S, the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid and the top-of-the-line Cayenne Turbo. The Diesel model carries over the same 3.0-liter turbo diesel with 240 horsepower. The Cayenne S however packs a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 that's similar to the one found in the Macan Turbo and packs the same 406 lb-ft of torque but more power at 420 hp, 20 more than either its little brother or the model it replaces to reach 62 mph in 5.2 seconds.
