Classic Motoring is pleased to offer this very attractive 2001 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 2 Cabriolet. This low mileage 911 looks great in Orient Red (L8A3) with Savannah Beige interior, black convertible top and highly desirable matching factory hard top. Original options include:

139/340 Heated Seats
413 18” Turbo Look Wheels
446 Colored Crest center caps
476 PSM Stability Management

This documented two-owner car was purchased by the 2nd owner from a Porsche dealer as a CPO car. Since he passed away the car remained within the same family. It has seen very light use in the last two years, the current keepers taking it on occasional light drives to keep everything working well. The car drives well with no issues - brakes and clutch are strong and the car performs exceptionally well. It is totally stock and has never been modified.

This 996 is in great cosmetic and mechanical condition with nice paint all around and a very clean interior. There has been no accident damage, though the front bumper was professionally resprayed (by a concours restoration shop) to correct some scuffs. The bumper, front decklid and mirrors are protected with clear laminate. Inside, the leather interior is in very good condition. Only a few scratches on the center console and a GPS mount on the dash detract from the otherwise tidy and well-kept cockpit. The convertible top is in excellent condition as is the factory hard top. Wheels, tires and trim are excellent and there are no leaks or drips from the engine. Books/Tools/Manuals included in the sale.

Pluses:

Beautiful Orient Red Paint
Desirable Factory Hard top
2-family owner car, previously purchased via Porsche CPO program
No Winters
Clean carfax
6-speed manual gearbox
Excellent Continental tires
Only 32,861 Miles

Minuses:

Light recent use, would benefit from a full fluid service
Touched up scratch on rear deck lid
Center console compartment latch needs repair
Some scuffs in the finish on the center console

Overall this is a very fine #2 condition car that is ready to find a new home. The addition of the hard top makes this a great all-weather GT car ready for you to stack on the miles as you wish. It is currently located in Vermont and will be sold with a current VT registration and title.

Watch the Safari 911 do its thing off road

Thu, Dec 17 2015

American racing driver Leh Keen spends his working hours in the No. 22 Alex Job Racing WeatherTech Porsche 911 GT America campaigning in the United SportsCar Championship. From the looks of this video, he spends his free time off-roading in a Porsche of his own specification: a 1981 Porsche 911 SC modded into an homage to the rallying 911s of the 1970s. Privateers began rallying the 911 not long after it went on sale 50 years ago, winning European events and the European Rally Championship as soon as 1967. After some good showings in the early 70s the carmaker took a 1978 911 SC to the Safari Rally in Africa going for the overall victory, but an encounter with a rock meant the team could only claim second place. Keen's Guards Red coupe channels that ancestor with a lift kit from Elephant Racing and a light rack and mud flaps shipped over from Europe. The engine gets a little more power thanks to intake modifications, some SSI heat exchangers, and a Danske exhaust. To help keep it together on the trail, the bumpers get pulled in and use steel bash bars for protection, and the side mirrors are aero numbers tucked into the A-pillar angle. The interior has been entirely redone. Keen apparently said "he wanted a 911 he could 'go anywhere' with," and the video above shows him doing just that. You can read more about the car in this month's Porsche Club of America magazine, check out Fatlace for the short story and a few pictures, or head to photographer Clint Davis' site for an eyefull of high-res shots of the beast.

This is how the new turbo Porsche 911 Carrera sounds

Sun, Sep 13 2015

We have our first audio sample of the turbocharged flat-six engine in the standard Porsche 911 Carrera. By way of reminder, the boosted 3.0-liter engines will put out 370 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque in entry-level guise, 420 ponies and 368 lb-ft in the S models. To our ears, it sounds good. Yes, it's a commercial, true, we don't know what audio trickery the agency whipped up during post-production. But the sound in the commercial is good. Besides, Porsche knows what it's doing. Every time the brand breaks one of the purist's laws, the 911 accelerates through the wailing and gnashing of teeth to sell better than ever. Heck, the company's own engineers tried to beat the 911 with the introduction of the arguably much better 928, and we see how that turned out. So no matter what we think of the commercial, we have a feeling the sound of the turbocharged standard 911 will remain the same mythical siren to enthusiast ears around the world. On top of that, the new coupe and convertible are quicker, faster, more powerful, and still come with a seven-speed manual transmission if you choose. Porsche might taketh away, but to make up for it they giveth and giveth and giveth. Check out the noises in the video above, and some more of the advanced features on the new 911 in the video below.

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week. For more information, visit Robb Report online or check out the full press release from Porsche below.
