2009 Porsche 911 997 on 2040-cars
Clements, Maryland, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : jamijddimery@horticulturists.net .
My low mileage Mezger powered Basalt 2009 997 Turbo. I am a long time Porsche owner,
enthusiast, and mechanic. Before I go any further this car does have a $55k factory replacement engine due to a
broken timing chain, quite possibly caused by the ridiculous number of over revs logged by the ecu. I personally
installed the new engine at 16k miles and purchased the car with 17.5k miles. I have completely torn the car down,
inspected, serviced, and reassembled everything mechanically. The entire suspension has been disassembled,
inspected, and serviced. The suspension while very aggressive, is equally agile and responsive while being very
predictable and compliant. I spent a lot of time working with the shock settings, and more importantly reducing the
charge pressures making them much more street friendly then their original design and intention. This car is a
stunning performer being leaps and bounds above the standard turbo.
The paint shows extremely well with the only significant blemishes being nicks and chips on the front splitter,
and around the leading edges of the front rocker and rear bumper (see pics). The installer failed to have the
Techart provided protective clear film attached on those sections. A little time and creativity would quickly
repair this. If it were not for the car being a metallic based black I certainly would have addressed it, however;
it really doesn't stand out as it would with any other color so I decided to leave it alone for now. Aside from
that the paint and body are in amazing condition, you will not be disappointed, no one has ever been yet! The
basalt black has become one of my personal favorites as it really accentuates and exaggerates the curves of the
Turbo body and changes slightly in color with light, a must see in person as pictures just can't do it justice.
Improvements and upgrades.
styling:
-GT2 RS seats (full leather)
-HRE 590R three piece wheels with Dunlop racemaxx tires
-Techart aero kit including rear wing element
-Techart GT3 carbon front bumper vent insert
-Techart carbon roof spoiler
Suspension and Brakes:
-JRZ RS Pro coil overs with Eibach 500/600 springs
-Brembo GT 380mm front and 380mm rear brake conversion
-Brembo type III front rotors
-RSS control arms, links, and mounts
-TPC Racing sway bars
Engine and Performance:
-Brand new Factory replacement Mezger engine
-AWE Tuning 650S headers, hi-flow cats, and exhaust
-GT3 throttle body
-Softronic 650 hp 93 oct tune
-TPC Racing intercoolers (largest on market)
-Werks1 (champion motorsport) carbon plenum
-Werks1 carbon y-pipe (needs repair but goes with car)
-IDP aluminum y-pipe
-Werks1 carbon air intake
-OS Giken limited slip
-ERP triple disc clutch and LWFW assembly.
The car is rock solid and fully emissions compliant, no lights, warnings or errors.
The Softronic software was used in favor of the original AWE/GIAC software because it provides a more progressive
boost map and better throttle modulation allowing the car to be much more driveable on the bottom end of the power
band.
No expense was spared on the build of this car and would cost several 10's of thousands to duplicate, anyone
familiar with these cars knows the costs of the parts and mods listed above. There are no excuses and the next
owner will surely not be dissapointed.

Porsche Cayman GT4 speeds back into view
Tue, 18 Nov 2014We're all familiar with the succession of numbers that follow the letters GT on a hard-core Porsche 911: the GT1 that was Stuttgart's Le Mans contender in the late 90s, the GT2 that packs turbochargers but without the Turbo's all-wheel drive and excess weight, and the naturally aspirated GT3 that's the enthusiast's choice. But a GT4? That's something new, and exactly what Porsche has in store.
Spied testing in Germany once again is the upcoming GT4 version of the Porsche Cayman, set to supersede the existing GTS and take the place of the previous Cayman R at the top of Porsche's junior sports car range. This latest batch of spy shots doesn't show us much more than the last crop, but gives us a much clearer view at what promises to be the most hardcore Cayman to date.
As you can see, the Cayman GT4 packs a much more aggressive aero kit and rolling stock than any version we've seen to date. It's got a lip spoiler, big air dam and GT3-style vent in front of the hood, deep air scoops along the flanks, a set of spindly alloys packing oversized brakes, a diffuser with twin central exhaust tips around back and a rear wing that's likely to be replaced with a sleeker unit before the GT4 reaches production.
Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group
Mon, Jul 5 2021ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."

Porsche 991 vs. 930 Flatnose in 911 Turbo convertible faceoff
Tue, 15 Jul 2014The Porsche 911 Turbo has a legacy of being a tough car to drive. With a ton of power set right over the rear wheels, its reputation is to lose control as soon as the driver stops concentrating. However, this isn't quite so true anymore. The modern ones are tamed through technology with things like hydraulically controlled engine mounts, not to mention all-wheel drive. In its latest video, Autocar tries to decide whether 25 years of progress really makes the turbo a better vehicle.
It's summer, so what better version to compare than the 911 Turbo Cabriolet? In one corner, Autocar has the latest and greatest 2014 version pumping out 513 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Its challenger is a 1989 911 flatnose convertible sporting 326 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque. It's a truly rare car in the UK with only eight of them remaining on the roads in that region.
Granted, this test isn't so much a battle as it is a comparison. There's no question that the modern 911 would beat the classic in practically every objective category. What the video aims to find out is whether the flatnose is better in subjective measurements like its "feel." Scroll down to watch these two droptop Porsches square off.
