Private owner selling my stunning black w/rare factory optioned camel color, all-leather interior, low mileage, 911 Carrera 4S . This car looks like new, inside and out and is exquisitely maintained by a non-smoker and is well cared for.  

For those not familiar with the model 4S, it features all-wheel drive and everything from the Turbo Model but the engine, substituting a very powerful normally aspirated  3.6L, 315HP motor in its place. (Claimed 0-60 in 4.2 to 4.6 sec depending on the article.) Besides the engine, the 4S and the Turbo are the same car. Differentiating from the other Carrera models, the 4S also features the more attractive wide-body, like the Turbo, the larger Turbo brakes, the firmer and lower Turbo suspension, the bigger Turbo internal side radiators, a composite deck lid and a spoiler that pops-up (at about 70mph) and an all-leather interior (seems like every surface is covered in this beautiful leather). BTW: The seats look new. This car features a manual 6 speed transmission.

This 911 4S features many factory options, including: Leather Power Sport Seats with the Memory Package for Driver & Passenger, Bose Sound System, Xenon Headlights, Porsche Crest Wheel Center Caps and many other options standard on a 4S, but only available as adders/expensive options on lessor Carrera models.

I just (less than 75 miles ago) outfitted the car with new, high-speed, Sumitomo performance tires and a new Bosch battery. The A/C is ice cold. I have all the service records. It's been driven mostly highway miles and has never seen snow or rain. My wife says I take care of my Porsche better than her... maybe she's right! Selling because I m going to the dark side and buying a new 2014 Corvette Stingray, for a change of pace, after owning my 3rd Porsche. 

Update 09/29/13: I have had several inquires concerning the Intermediate Shaft Bearing (IMS) on my 996 series Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. In order to alleviate this concern, I have dropped the car off at Michael Stead Porsche, Walnut Creek, CA to have the IMS bearing replaced. They will update it with a Ceramic Hybrid Ball-Bearing Replacement. While the engine is out-of-the car for this, I have instructed them to replace the clutch (even though it probably doesn't need a new clutch) and the main rear seals. I'll need my list price for the car, otherwise I'm keeping it! :) The car will be ready Monday, September 30, 2013. Also, while at the dealer, they will provide a full written "Pre-Purchase Inspection" of the car. 

This is probably one of the best 2003 911 4S Carrera's in the country. It's not going to last and I might change my mind about selling after I get it back from the Dealer's service, you never know...

2015 Porsche 918 Spyder: Touring the factory

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Willy Wonka granted just five lucky Golden Ticket holders access to his incredible chocolate factory, yet we consider ourselves just as fortunate, as Porsche invited us to be among the first of just four American journalists to see behind the closed doors of its 918 Spyder assembly plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany. Of course, there were no Oompa Loompas or flowing chocolate rivers, but the vast white hall tasked with producing only 918 examples of the automaker's limited-production flagship revealed details that make Wonka's Golden Egg sorting room seem rather mundane in comparison. Unlike a traditional automobile manufacturing plant, which often encompass all processes of making a vehicle (e.g., stamping steel panels, welding components and painting), the 918 Spyder is built in an assembly plant. This means that hundreds of already manufactured parts, each crafted by Porsche offsite suppliers, are brought under one roof to be assembled into a perfectly finished product that is much sweeter – and far more expensive – than any candy delicacy. Our tour guide was Michael Drolshagen, Porsche's Director of Production, Logistics and Quality - a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the engineering and assembly of the 918 Spyder. Drolshagen generously offered us unrestricted access to walk among the factory's 110 workers – and a couple-dozen vehicles in process – to photograph everything. This is a story best told with pictures, so we've put together a raft of our best images in a high-resolution gallery and captioned each with a detailed description. If you've still got questions, please voice them in Comments section and we'll do our best to answer.

Here are this year's top 5 automaker April Fools’ jokes

Mon, Apr 2 2018

April 1 is the wonderful day when PR departments really push themselves to top the zany jokes they came up with the previous year. And it's not just fast-food chains competing with each other, or breweries announcing they have released stuff like a fermented herring flavored beer: carmakers' media teams rarely miss out on the opportunity to play a little joke on their audience. Here are a few of our favorites from this year:1) Porsche Porsche announced that it's launching a Mission E tractor, styled to resemble its 1950s tractor models. "With a power output in excess of 700hp, the Mission E Tractor will be the fastest accelerating agricultural vehicle in the world, enabling farmers to harvest crops in record time with the added environmental benefits of zero emissions at source and significantly reduced operating noise."2) Lexus Lexus actually jumped the gun, telling us on March 28 that it's combining cars and drivers using DNA matching. The kicker was that with DNA-matched cars, owners would be able to start their Lexuses by licking the steering wheel.3) McLaren Automotive McLaren said it's boosting efficiency by quite eccentric measures, such as measuring the technology center's lake and floor tiles daily, and by synchronizing the staff's tea breaks.4) BMW Motorrad BMW's motorcycle arm is solving parts availability issues in remote locations by offering a 3D printer mounted permanently on the bike's rack: If you need to replace a broken-off gear lever, you can just print one. "The new system will mean that even very rarely required parts not generally stocked by BMW Motorrad sales partners can be supplied on a just-in-time basis." BMW even went to the lengths of announcing that the "BMW Motorrad iPart 3D Mobile Printer" was tested on the Antarctic, by erecting a tent whose poles were produced onsite.5) Honda Last but not least, Honda UK purportedly cut the roof off a new CR-V, calling it the CR-V Roadster. Tellingly, no convertible top was even offered for the concept, "making it a no-top rather than a drop-top. This innovative design makes it a vehicle purely for sunnier climates and therefore completely useless for the two-day British summer which traditionally occurs in May."Related Video: Featured Gallery Top 5 April Fools 2018 Image Credit: Porsche Green Humor Weird Car News BMW Honda Lexus McLaren Porsche bmw motorrad mclaren automotive

The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet

Tue, Oct 2 2018

The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.
