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!! |

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Porsche planning Cayman GT4, 700-hp Turbo S e-Hybrids
Fri, May 9 2014The old wisdom when it came to the Porsche lineup was that the Boxster and Cayman needed to be kept in line so as not to encroach on even the lower end of the 911 range. But with the latest versions of the compact roadster and coupe, that logic has gone out the window. Especially with the introduction of the latest GTS models (pictured above). But that's not the end of the story. According to Motor Trend, Porsche is working on an even more powerful version of the Cayman that could carry the GT4 badge, positioning itself along the same lines as the 911 GT3 and GT2 – only, you know, smaller. Although our sources at Porsche would, predictably, neither confirm nor deny the report, MT has it that power could come from either a turbo-four or a more powerful flat-six, mated to the beefed-up DCT from the latest 911 GT3. A similar version of the Boxster could bring back the RS Spyder designation. That's not all Porsche is said to have in store, though. Based on the engineering that went into the 918 Spyder, Porsche could roll out a new range-topping model for the 911, Panamera and maybe even the Cayenne, packing a version of the 918's PHEV powertrain. Slotting in above the existing Turbo S variants of each model line, the new flagship models could pack 700 horsepower or more and be designated e-Hybrid in similar fashion as the 918.
Meet Buster, this 1968 Porsche racecar transporter from Mercedes
Thu, Dec 11 2014If you're thinking about Porsche and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to motorsports, your first thought is probably on the two German brands battling on the track. However, for decades, whenever Porsche's factory team went to compete, a custom Mercedes was right along with them hauling the racecars. These days the truck lives in the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, FL, and goes by the nickname Buster. However, its story goes back to 1968 when Porsche ordered two commercial vehicles from Mercedes and then handed them over to a Stuttgart-based outfitter for customization. The results were these racing transporters that hauled models like the 917 and 956 until the '80s. The other survived, too, with a place in Porsche's collection. Well-known racers in their own right, Brumos scooped up the transporter in 2003 and have kept driving it to vintage racing events. The interior now boasts the signatures of many of the great drivers from the era of this historic truck. Watch the video for the whole story on the Mercedes with a whole lot of Porsche inside.
