2005 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
For more details email me at: charleysauage@juno.com . Beautiful, fast, german sports car. Has Bi-Xenon lights which simply illuminates the road almost as well as the
sun. Comfortable for daily driving yet when pushed makes a perfect weekend cruiser. Communicative steering unlike
any car at this price. Sharp and precise. Revs to 7200 rpm through a six speed manual. Light clutch with sharp
gear changes. Grips the road beautifully. Never seen a track in my possession which I am the second owner at 48k.
Never seen snow, ice, or salt. Climate control works great or open the windows and sunroof and take all the
outdoors in. Comfortable hugging seats that are heated. Has a front trunk (frunk) for all the groceries you could
need. Has two rear seats thought the one behind driver only usable for a small child or car seat and the other
side a slightly bigger child but still probably under 100 lbs. Averaged about 25 mpg between usual 1 hr casual
drive and 3-5 hr sportier driving. On interstate managed 31mpg. Has rear automatic spoiler that is hidden under
60 to keep the classic beautiful lines. Brakes so powerful you have better of had a light lunch. Makes a
beautiful noise throughout the whole rpm range and she really starts pulling at 3k rpm. Since 60% of the weight is
over the rear wheels with the engine hanging out behind the wheels the driving style is a little different. It is
a slow in fast out car. So, enter the corner slow but can get on the power sooner. Rewards almost every sense
every time you turn your left hand clockwise to start the car and take off. Subtle enough to not get cops
attention with its dark grey metallic paint and soft curvy body. There is a reason why this car is so praised in
almost all circles of people have driven them, just ask Clarkson, Hammond, or May. Car comes in at 3100 lbs being
a light weight compared to other BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audis.
Had full service at 60k consisting of oil, oil filters, air filter, cabin filter, trans flush, sparkplugs. Full
service at independent german tech center cost $550 at 60k. Told by dealer Clutch was replaced before bought at
48k. New alternator at 48k. New water pump, Rear brake pads, discs, sensors at 48k. Will need new rear tires after
summer driving season. Has two keys though each have broken cases, both unlock and front trunk buttons stopped
working on key fob but key still locks and unlocks car. Small scratch on side in front of wheel well. Couple
interior buttons labels worn. Seats have slight wear. Front has multiple rock chips with a couple on the hood.
Passenger side front bumper has some spots with paint missing.

Porsche's former CEO Wiedeking to stand trial over VW-share manipulation
Wed, 27 Aug 2014Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (left in the above photo) could potentially be facing some time in the slammer after all. The last we had heard, he and former Chief Financial Officer Holger Haerter (right) had avoided a trial in April due to a lack of evidence. However, an appeals court in Stuttgart has looked at the case again and overruled the earlier decision, finding that the executives should be tried for share manipulation during Porsche's failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008, Bloomberg reports.
The judges in the appeal "list numerous indications that could suggest that there was a hidden decision to increase the stake as they could suggest the opposite evaluation by the lower court," said Stefan Schueler, a spokesperson for the court, in a statement cited by Bloomberg. Wiedeking and Haerter put out their own releases saying that there was no merit to the charges.
The prosecutors allege that Wiedeking and Haerter had a plan to buy up VW stock options in 2008 to take the automotive giant over but hid it from investors. The whole thing was a massive failure and eventually allowed VW the chance to acquire Porsche and forced the two execs to step down. In addition to the criminal investigation, hedge funds have attempted to sue the company multiple times in civil court for the same reason, but they have repeatedly failed.
Porsche Fire and Ice is chilling art born of flames
Wed, 01 Jan 2014Porsche held a contest inviting ten filmmakers to riff on the tagline for the Panamera, "Thrilling Contradictions," in a 60-second film. The winner was an entry called Fire and Ice by director Ross Cohen, a concept that uses just those two elements in a premise as simple as it is rewarding. For his efforts, Cohen will receive a trip to the Chicago International Film Festival, and you might see the short in the pre-movie advertisements in a theater served by Spotlight Cinema Networks.
Porsche did this kind of thing just two years ago, when it asked filmmakers to illustrate the idea of "Everyday Magic". The winner of that contest, Michael Korbel's It's a Magical Life, followed the journey of a young man to husband and father from the perspective of the trunk of a 911. You'll find that video as well as Fire and Ice below.
eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype
Fri, 12 Apr 2013"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.
