2008 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars

We have here a one owner 2008 Porsche Carrera S with a factory aero kit, in beautiful Basalt Black Metallic paint.
I purchased this car new in 2008 and it has been kept in a heated/cooled/carpeted garage in sunny Florida. The
list of options is extensive (see picture of the window stick and certificate of authenticity), but the following
outlines some of the more interesting ones.
Full leather interior with full power/heated passenger and driver side seats, and embossed Porsche logo in the
headrest.
Sport chrono package.
Porsche PASM stability management system.
Bose stereo system with CD and Sirius XM satellite radio.
Navigation system.
Carbon fiber accent package with dash and console inserts, plus carbon fiber door sills with lighted Carrera s
logo.
Porsche factory aero kit with GT3 style spoiler.
Fabspeed carbon fiber cold air box for increased horsepower.
19" Turbo wheels with less than 5,000 miles on new rubber all around.
Stainless steel exhaust system with auto-tuning valves.
This car is essentially factory stock with the exception of the aero kit, which significantly improves handling at
high speeds, and the cold air box which pairs nicely with the tuned exhaust, for greater horsepower and throttle
response. This car has been maintained at the local Porsche shop for all service including oil changes. In
addition, the car came with an Auto Butler package, so it was professionally washed at the local Porsche shop, and
fully detailed twice per year at the Porsche shop. The only blemish on the car (other than a few signs of normal
road grit) is on the passenger rear wheel, as seen the the photos. To this day I don't know the origin of the
blemish but it has no impact on the wheel whatsoever.
This is a beautiful super car. The sticker shows a retail price in excess of $100,000 and with the addition of the
aero kit ($10,000) and the cold air box ($1,000), this car's value tops $111,000. I am asking less than half this
amount. Thanks for looking and feel free to ask questions.

Porsche 911 Aerodynamic prototype cheated the wind ahead of its time
Wed, 04 Jun 2014You might think that sports cars would have the lowest drag coefficient of all cars. And yes, they do tend to be more slippery than, say, SUVs or convertibles, but the sleekest vehicles on the road tend to be EVs, hybrids and luxury sedans. Sports cars, on the other hand, have aerodynamically detrimental needs for downforce and additional engine cooling. Still, the Porsche 911 is better than most, and has only gotten more so over the years. Its relatively narrow track and compact form mean it has a smaller frontal area than some other sports cars, and the gradual sweeping back of its headlights and windshield have only augmented its capacity for cheating the wind.
This 911 prototype, however, is even more aerodynamic than most. It's based on a "G model" 911 from 1984, but employed such features as covered wheels, a new rear spoiler and a reprofiled front end to drop its drag coefficient from 0.40 to 0.27, making it as slippery as a modern sedan and better at cheating the wind than just about anything built up to that point, save for maybe the Tatra 77, Citroën SM or Tucker Torpedo.
Elements of this prototype ended up gradually making it into production Porsches for years to come, and you can clearly see early influences on the second-generation 964 and even on the 959. It's featured here as the latest installment in a video series on rare historic Porsches unearthed from the company archives, following previous clips that featured a rare V8-powered 911 and a mid-engined 911 prototype. Scope out the latest episode in the video below.
This is why we love the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer
Tue, 11 Nov 2014In the world of restomods, Singer Vehicle Designs is inarguably one of our absolute favorites. The company, founded by rocker Rob Dickinson, has made its name as an obsessive constructor of vintage, built-to-order Porsche 911s with modern internals and beautiful accouterments.
Xcar has put together a lengthy interview with Dickinson, covering the source of his fascination with the 911 and his passion for automotive design, before falling into his rock-and-roll days with his band Catherine Wheel. He also covers how he got into the world of modifying Porsches, rather than just restoring them. There's much, much more in the video, though, and we promise, you won't want to miss it.
Take a look.
Porsche becomes first company to rent out Vatican's Sistine Chapel
Fri, 17 Oct 2014We wouldn't go so far as to say God is a Porsche fan, but those in charge of one of the holiest Christian spots on our little blue marble are welcoming the German automaker into one of the religion's most revered and beautiful settings - the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. In so doing, Porsche will reportedly become the first company to rent out the holy hall for a corporate function.
Now, it's not like Pope Francis has signed off on Porsche doing do donuts in a 911 underneath Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. Instead, the Vatican has rented out the home of the Papal Conclave to the Porsche Travel Club, which will host a classical music concert. The Travel Club organizes events and tours across Europe for Porsche enthusiasts, with the Vatican concert just one part of a tour of Rome.
According to Automotive News Europe, Porsche will sell 40 tickets - at 5,000 euros each ($6,379) - to the event, while the Vatican has confirmed that the Pope will not be in attendance.
