2001 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe 2-door 3.6l on 2040-cars
Wake Forest, North Carolina, United States
Words barely give justice to the condition of my car. The photos bring you closer. However, this car really needs to be scene in person to realize it's condition and experience the love it's been given. Unfortunately, unless you are in North Carolina that's hard to do. I'll do my best to describe this car, and if you are a serious buyer, you will obviously want to call me. The turbo was a car that I had a chance to drive when it was new. It left an impression that I never forgot. Years later, I began my search to find the perfect pre-owned turbo. It took me over a year to find this car. I'm beyond compulsive about my cars, and that created the challenge to find this particular car. It was purchased new by one of Chicago's wealthiest families. It was then purchased with 11,692 miles on 3//22/1010 buy an owner that's as fanatical as me. I purchased it 6/28/2012 with 13,993 miles. It currently has 17,376 miles. The ownership and mileage history verifies that this car has only been taken out for special events. What's more impressive than the mileage and ownership history is the service history. The car has always been maintained to the fullest. A 30,000 mileage service was performed on 3/25/11 with 12,047 mileage on the odometer. This included plugs and coil packs, etc. I have all records since day one including the original purchase paper work. The one thing that I do not have is the original window sticker. Black is my favorite color and that ruled out several low mileage turbos because of less than perfect paint. The paint on the car is perfect. There are no webbings or blemishes on it. I can verify that neither I nor the previous owner has never taken it through a car wash. I personally, am the only one that details the car. I use Zymol wax, P21s wheel cleaner, Lexol leather food, and Rain-X for the glass. I've never applied Armor-all type products to any exterior or interior surface. 12/3/13, (17,179 miles) I had new Hankook tires installed, nitrogen filled, with a complete alignment. The car is always garage kept, on a car lift, and is covered. The color combination takes your breath away. It's rare to find a perfectly kept black car. The Savannah Leather really sets it off. The Seal grey and Silver cars are so common and somehow create less of a visual impact. I know that there are two camps out there on the transmission. I obviously love the Tip. The power is linear, it's easy to drive in traffic, and it will hold a gear in a turn. My personal driving style is NOT spirited. I think it's condition speaks for itself, but this car has never been tracked or abused. Because I'm looking for a very fanatical buyer I want to fully disclose everything about the car. There is a small nick by the ignition key that has been touched up. I have a photo of that. There is a "spot" not a dent or ding on the driver's side rear wheel well. You would not see it, if I didn't point it out, and even then you have to strain your eye. I took a macro photo of it as well. On the macro photo you will notice some pollen on the paint. I live in NC and we have a lot of it this time of year. You can see the pollen grains on the paint. The third thing is that that spoiler does not operate at speed. I rarely drive the car over 75mph and decided not replace the hydraulic rams. These three items are the only thing that I know to be less than 100%. The items would not have been noticed, but I don't want to hide anything. This is a very rare, immaculate car. The only reason that I'm selling the car is because it so nice. I can't take it out to enjoy it, because I don't want anything to happen to it. I'm hoping to find someone that will realize what this car has to offer and enjoy "looking" at it as I have. The car also comes with a factory Porsche car cover and a battery tender. You really have to drive and see this car!! |

Auto journalist ordered to pay big money for blowing up Porsche 917 engine [UPDATE]
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Racecars blow engines all the time, but a Porsche 917 isn't just a run-of-the-mill racecar. British automotive writer Mark Hales reportedly borrowed a 917 from 82-year-old former Formula One racer David Piper for a magazine article, and mechanical tragedy ensued. Nobody is arguing that the engine failed after being spun to 8,200 rpm. However, Hales was warned not to exceed 7,000 rpm, says owner Piper, and the affair landed in English courts with Piper seeking £50,000 - over $79,000 US - in reimbursement funds for an engine rebuild and loss of use of the car while it was being repaired. Judge Simon Brown ruled in favor of car owner Piper, putting Hales on the hook for £110,000 ($174,000) including legal fees - a whole lot of money in any language.
Hales says the Porsche suffered a mechanical fault while lapping that allowed it to slip out of gear and over-rev. Piper wasn't convinced, and sought to have the repair paid for by the guy who broke the racer, saying "If you bend it, you mend it." It's not like Hales is a novice driver, having seat time in both professional and amateur races over 30 years, notching about 150 wins, but even the best drivers sometimes miss a shift, and that's what Piper contended happened to his car.
According to reports, Hales has had to sell most of his valuables to pay his lawyers and is now facing bankruptcy with the ruling against him. Members of the Pistonheads website are trying to coordinate a collection to help him out, as well.
Top Gear teases Porsche 918 vs McLaren P1 vs LaFerrari showdown
Mon, Jan 5 2015It's the comparison test we've been waiting over a year to come together: the hybrid hypercar showdown of the century between the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari. They've each got hybrid powertrains pairing eight or more cylinders with an electric motor to drive around 900 horsepower through seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions. They come from exotic automakers with rich racing pedigrees, and each costs around a million bucks. Leave it to the guys from Top Gear, then, to finally put it together. The story adorns the cover of this month's issue of Top Gear magazine, which arranged the showdown – not the television program that started it all. Fortunately, they didn't miss the opportunity to capture the action on video, which will be available to iPad subscribers – but whether you've got access or not, you can catch a short clip of the seven-figure hybrid hypercars right here.

Porsche patent sketches show removable headrest wind deflector
Mon, 21 Oct 2013While driving around in a convertible might seem glamorous, ask anyone with long hair and they'll likely tell you how it really is: the wind buffets, your hair goes everywhere and it's anything but glamorous. That's why you see so many convertibles driving with their tops up, their windows up or wind deflectors in place. But Porsche is apparently preparing to kick it up to the next level.
These patent drawings have leaked out, demonstrating what appears to be some new kind of wind-deflecting device being developed by Porsche. The mechanism is apparently fitted to the headrest itself and designed to keep the wind buffeting specifically around the head down to a minimum while allowing the car's occupants to enjoy the top-down driving experience.
No word on when it might hit the market, but we won't be surprised to see this kind of device appear on a future version of the Boxster or 911 Cabriolet. But nowhere else: despite the apparent leak, the patent drawings suggest that Porsche will be keeping this technology proprietary. Whether sister brands like Volkswagen, Bentley or Lamborghini will get their hands on it remains to be seen.
