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.

Are you the 2017 Porsche 911 GTS Targa?

Sun, Nov 30 2014

Our spy shooters have caught a strange, mash-up beast wearing a Porsche badge. Superficially, this is a facelift for the 911 Targa that features new bumpers, door handles and a redesigned engine cover, along with new light graphics for the front and rear lights. But have a look around back, and you'll find two inboard exhaust pipes; they aren't right up against each other as on the 911 GT3, but are spaced about five inches apart. The shooters said the first time they saw that arrangement was last winter, on a convertible during testing. We saw it again more recently in spy shots of what was thought to be the 911 GTS coupe prototype at the track. But when the production GTS arrived, it wore the traditional quad-pipe at the corners. The theory put forward by the spy photog: the current GTS has a naturally aspirated engine, but facelifted prototypes they've been seeing all have turbo engines, so this could be the facelifted Targa coming in 2017, after the 991-model 911 gets a refresh. In that case, the GTS coupe prototype at the track would have also been a post-refresh, turbo-engined GTS. It's only a hypothesis, but more than one outlet has reported that Porsche is going all-turbo for the updated 2015 models – the new exhaust position and those 911-Turbo-like vents could be their identifiers. We expect to find out when the lineup is unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, possibly codenamed 992 instead of 991.2.

Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.

Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356

Wed, 14 May 2014

Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
