VERY LOW MILES & FULLY LOADED: SPORT EXHAUST * PASM * SPORT SEATS * NAV * BOSE
* NEW CLUTCH AND NEW TIRES*
I am selling my highly-optioned 6-speed 2008 Porsche 911 Targa 4S with only 38,000 original miles. 6 cylinder, 3.8L
355hp with Sport Exhaust, PASM, PSE, Sport Seats, 19” painted metallic wheels, Navigation, Bose sound and other
custom factory interior options (see build sheet pic for more).
This car had a $112,000 MSRP and I am convinced these last of the water-cooled era are now becoming collectors
item, especially the big bad 4S wide bodies and the even more unique Targas. I would keep it but growing family
forces sale.
This loaded car is a head turner and a blast to drive; the sport exhaust is menacing and the large rear trunk makes
it more practical than your ordinary 911. The unique retracting glass roof means you can have all the pleasure of
open-top motoring with the security and sexy-lines of a coupe.
Non smoker and always garaged… inside has that great Porsche leather smell. This car began its life at Manhattan
Motor Cars/Porsche of Greenwich before moving to CA where it was serviced at Beverly Hills Porsche. I am the 3rd
owner and all my maintenance has been done by Porsche of Austin.
The car is in fantastic condition and has been properly maintained at no expense spared, with limited but tasteful
mods. Porsche of Austin recently replaced the clutch and flywheel for me with OEM parts and installed 4 new Pirelli
tires (all within the last 1k miles, buyer will have receipts and warranty). It shifts like new and is a blast on
the highway or country roads. For improved visibility, the rear tail lights have been upgraded to LED, as have all
the interior lights.
I have 2 sets of keys and will include the genuine Porsche rubber floormats, as well as the original Porsche floor
carpets and original rear taillights.
Zero mechanical issues, all preventive maintenance done and ready to go. She growls at the turn of a key.
The only imperfections I can think of are - trying to be as honest as possible but please study the pics:
1) Slight scuffing on the rear of the sport seats from previous owner in 2 spots, probably from loading golf clubs
(you can fit 2 sets in the back). These could be touched up easily but I never use the rear seats so never see
them.
2) Its only visible at close inspections but some of the wheels have spots where the paint is wearing thin near the
center caps. Im not sure if its from changing the wheels or just wear as it was like it when I got the car, but
they would look good touched up and perfect with a repaint. There is no curbing or damage to the actual wheels at
all.
2) The radio initially shows a brief warning about the CD player not being connected at startup, but it works fine
so I never bothered to have it fixed. The NAV works great.
Please let me know if you have questions. I have a video of the car running and a walk-around that I would be happy
to share.

Jay Leno puts carbon fiber wheels to the test on a Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

Jay Leno's Garage usually focuses on looking at cars new and old, speaking to their owners and then Jay taking a drive to see what he thinks. However, Leno throws his usual shtick to the curb this week to do a full product test of the carbon fiber wheels from a company called Carbon Revolution. If you're not interested in hearing about wheels for 18 minutes, don't worry. They get mounted on a Porsche and are tested back-to-back with stock wheels, and Leno takes the 911 for a track test, too.
While carbon-fiber wheels aren't exactly a new idea, Carbon Revolution's goal is to create a lightweight, one-piece product that can be mass produced. The company even claims that it already has a deal with an OEM automaker to offer them on a vehicle in a few years. The key to the technology is that it doesn't need an expensive autoclave to be made.
In the meantime, the company's carbon fiber wheels are available as an aftermarket option for about $15,000 a set, according to the video. They weigh in at about 15.5 pounds each and offer OEM-levels of stiffness, so they could cut some unsprung mass off of a performance car. Watch here as Jay and his mechanic Bernard lap Willow Springs and give their feedback about what they think of this cutting-edge technology.

Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.

Fastest and most powerful SUVs in America for 2022

Wed, Nov 10 2021

Here in the United States, we enjoy power almost as much as we like our SUVs. Thankfully, we’ve got plenty of both. Traditionally, the most powerful SUVs source their massive horsepower and torque from some form of a V8. While thatÂ’s still generally the case, electrification comes into play more and more, whether itÂ’s mild-hybrid tech, a plug-in hybrid powertrain or, as is the case with the two vehicles topping this list, fully electric vehicles. As we enter the 2022 model year, letÂ’s look at the most powerful SUVs available.  Before we dive in, letÂ’s address the elephant that is waiting just outside the door. Due to supply shortages, Mercedes-Benz is shelving most V8 models for the 2022 model year. Some 2021 models can still be found in dealer inventories, but we wonÂ’t include them. With that in mind, letÂ’s dive into the list. 2022 Audi RS Q8 — 591 hp / 190 mph Read our review of the Audi RS Q8 The only Audi on this list is a hot little number, which we characterized as “an uncompromising option in a field of compromised options.” Powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 (which seems to be a popular format in this list), its 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque get it scootinÂ’ to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 190 mph. It even has the bragging rights of holding the Nurburgring lap record for an SUV.   2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge — 592 hp / 155 mph (limited) Read our review of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan This is one SUV where being a passenger might be more exciting than sitting in the driverÂ’s seat, thanks to over-the-top luxury — what do you expect from a car that costs over $350,000? The driver doesnÂ’t go unrewarded, though, with a turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 at their disposal. Thanks to the Black BadgeÂ’s software upgrade, it makes 592 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque to help get to its electronically limited top speed of 155 mph that much quicker.    2022 BMW Alpina XB7 — 612 hp / 180 mph Read our review of the BMW Alpina XB7 Alpina takes already impressive BMW vehicles and turns them into even more powerful, more luxurious machines. The Alpina XB7 improves upon the BMW X7 with a biturbocharged 4.4-liter V8 offering up 612 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. ThatÂ’s good for a 4.0-second 0-60 sprint and a 180-mph top speed. Alpina also adds its own transmission and drivetrain tuning, upgraded suspension, exhaust and a whole slew of unique appearance touches.
