2006 - Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Temple, Texas, United States
Beyond Rare Factory Equipped Carrera Power Kit (X51) 911 C2S. It’s kind of like finding a unicorn. With only 28,500 miles. This is as close as you can get to a GT3/GTS from factory without paying GT3 money. Not to mention, you can keep the comforts of the standard S. Please note, the price of this is higher than a typical Carrera S, because it's not just a Carrera S. It's one of only a handful Carrera Power Kit equipped cars. And, it was equipped when built at the Porsche Factory, not completed by a tuner or a shop. I've only seen two X51 equipped cars on the market this year, grab it while you can. Year: 2006 Mileage: 28,500* (Still being driven) Exclusive Options: Custom order from factory with the following 1. Carrera S Power Kit (16,900) Cylinder heads with flow-optimized intake and exhaust ports Intake Manifold & Throttle Body - Increases inlet size from 76 mm to 82 mm X51 Headers - larger cross-section and optimized flow behavior Carbon Fiber Airbox with two intake channels Modified maps for the DME control unit Sport Exhaust with Chrome Tips & Dash Switch Third Radiator Kit Increased Engine Speed 2. Instrument Dials - Guards Red (860) 3. Seat Belts - Guards Red (540) Options: Black Mats - Porsche Lettering (115) Power Seat Package (1,550) Heated Front Seats (480) Bose High End Sound Package (1,390) Additional Extras: Upgraded Fabspeed Exhaust (Crossover Sports Cats and Headers). Mufflers were retained, which still enables the Porsche Sport Exhaust to operate. Ridiculously amazing sound, at the switch of a button. Condition and Care: Vehicle is in outstanding condition. Some Service history is included in documentation, as well as original window sticker, and all books (manuals, etc.) and 2 sets of keys. Full Service on 12/2013 (22,745 miles) the following services were completed: Oil Change, Spark Plugs replaced, Belts replaced, Cabin Air Filter replaced, Intake Air Filter replaced, Wipers replaced, Brake Fluid changed. Oil change was also completed again on 08/2014. Overall, this vehicle is in outstanding mechanical and cosmetic condition. Having the x51 Power Kit definitely sets this apart from standard 911 S’s. The sound that the x51 Sport Exhaust puts out is intoxicating to say the least. And the Power and handling will speak for themselves. Invoice on this vehicle was 104,000, easily making this the most expensive non-turbo, GT3 997 I have ever seen. The options were tastefully selected, and worth every penny.

Porsche Cayman GTS in track battle with 996 GT3
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Here's your tough question of the day: Would you rather drive a new Porsche Cayman GTS or a slightly older, 996-era Porsche 911 GT3? Certainly, both cars have their plusses. The Cayman is the more modern proposition, sure, but the GT3 is, well, a GT3. So yes, it's a tough decision.
If you're one of the lucky souls that have to make that choice, then this video from Evo should prove pretty helpful. It's a track battle, starring Jethro Bovingdon with a new GTS and an old GT3.
Calling the GTS "fantastically agile" and "fast, but it's also hilariously good fun," Bovingdon bangs home a solid lap time of 1:05.2 before switching to the GT3. It's remarkable to see just how dated the 996-generation 911 looks after viewing the newer Porsche, and from where we sit, it's further proof that the old car's headlights are something that's best forgotten. Styling qualms aside, though, can the GT3 keep up with its racy younger cousin?
Audi outlasts rivals to win 13th Le Mans title
Sun, 15 Jun 2014As is so often the case, the 2014 Le Mans was a war of attrition, and Audi managed to prevail once again after all 24 hours had been recorded in the history books, with its Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro claiming first and second places, followed by Toyota in third. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer inherited the lead in their No. 2 Audi after the No. 7 Toyota, driven by pole-sitter Kazuki Nakajima, was forced to retire with electrical problems in the 15th hour.
The No. 2 Audi led the race until it was forced to the pits to replace a turbocharger in the 17th hour, allowing the No. 1 Audi, driven by Lucas di Grassi, Marc Gene (who was a last-minute replacement for Loic Duval, who crashed hard during practice) and defending champion Tom Kristensen, led the race until the 21st hour, when it too had to pit with turbocharger issues. This gave the No. 20 Porsche of Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley, and Mark Webber the lead until it was forced off the track with gearbox problems, eventually finishing in 38th position.
In LMP2, the Jota Sport Zytek Z11SN-Nissan driven by Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Oliver Turvey claimed victory, the first five LMP2 finishers all powered by Nissan. Down a level in GTE-Pro, No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 driven by Gianmaria Bruni, Toni Vilander and Giancarlo Fisichella finished one lap ahead of the leading Corvette Racing C7.R. And finally, the No. 95 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE driven by Kristian Poulsen, David HeinemeierHansson and Nicki Thiim won the GTE-Am race two laps ahead of a Proton Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.
Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.
