2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet: 892 Miles, Factory Paint-to-match Peru Red on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
Offered for sale is an absolutely stunning, well optioned, practically virginal 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet (991) with only 892 miles and finished in striking factory paint-to-sample Peru Red over Espresso Natural leather with 20” black alloy wheels. One of our long time clients ordered the car new, adding it to his stable of significant cars following more than a year of back and forth with Porsche about painting the car Peru Red, a factory color introduced in 1974 that provided the owner a bit of nostalgia for a 911S that he’d owned in the mid 1970s. For Porsche to agree to finish a 911 in a paint-to-sample color, three cars have to be slated for that color, yielding resistance from the company from the onset of the order. After prolonged discussion and acknowledging that the owner has been an exceptionally loyal customer over the past fifty years, Porsche finally relented, justifying their rule by painting two of their show cars in Peru Red in addition to this gorgeous example. Consequently, this is the only privately owned Peru Red 991 in existence. The car comes with the balance of its factory warranty, all books and keys, a custom car cover, the original window sticker and its Certificate of Authenticity. It was ordered new with the following options:
Unfortunately for the owner, a series of necessary surgeries and the resulting inability to drive low slung models over the ensuing two plus years has caused him to consider selling a number of his cars, including the 991. But it’s also worth noting that this is not a fire sale and consequently the car is listed at a market appropriate price. We typically use three or four paragraphs to describe each aspect of a car, noting flaws, describing performance, delineating a specific model’s highpoints, etc. Assuming that you’re already well aware of this car’s incredible performance, technological advancements, striking styling and comfortable ride quality, there’s literally nothing more to describe – it’s effectively brand new. If you’re looking for a flawless, completely unique, desirably optioned Carrera S Cabriolet, there is no better car in the marketplace. We want
this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and
answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557.

Janis Joplin's psychedelic Porsche nets $1.76M at auction
Sat, Dec 12 2015Even though she famously asked the Lord for a Mercedes-Benz, Janis Joplin loved her 1964 Porsche 356C Cabriolet with its psychedelic mural called History of the Universe. The mind-bending droptop went for an amazing $1.76 million at a recent RM Sotheby's auction in New York City and shattered the original estimate of between $400,000 and $600,000 for the sale. Seven bidders in a fight over the trippy car helped push up the price, and this is now the most ever paid for a 356 at public auction. According to RM Sotheby's listing, Joplin bought the Porsche used in 1968 and quickly gave it to a roadie for her band Big Brother and the Holding Company to create the mural. He covered the entire exterior with a variety of motifs including a landscape across the passenger side, butterfly on the driver's door, a rainbow connecting two faces at the back, and an eye on the front. Joplin proudly drove the convertible regularly until her death at just 27 years old in 1970. After the singer's passing, Joplin's siblings eventually took control of the groovy Porsche but made the odd choice to repaint the car in the original Dolphin Gray. They eventually realized that was an awful idea, and two artists used photos to recreate the mural. The family then loaned the 356 to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH, in 1995, and this auction was the first time the convertible went up for sale since Joplin bought it. You can get a great look at all the psychedelic details in the gallery above. PSYCHEDELIC JANIS JOPLIN PORSCHE SHATTERS ESTIMATE, BRINGS RECORD $1.76 MILLION IN NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK (December 10, 2015) - Tonight at the RM Sotheby's 'Driven By Disruption' auction in New York City, The Janis Joplin 1964 Porsche 356 C 1600 SC Cabriolet sold for $1,760,000*, well over the pre-sale estimate of $400/600,000. Spurring a spirited bidding contest between collectors in the room and on the phones, seven bidders competed for the iconic daily driver of legendary rocker Janis Joplin. The outstanding sales price represents a new record for any Porsche 356 sold at public auction. Purchased by the Queen of Rock'n'Roll from a used car lot in 1968, Joplin engaged Dave Richards, a friend and roadie with her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company, to customize it with a psychedelic 'History of the Universe' mural, rendering it one of the first true 'art cars' and one of the most famous and important Porsches of all time.
Porsche Boxster and Cayman 4-cyl rated from 240 hp to 370 hp
Fri, Jul 31 2015Car magazine has information on the revised 981.2-series Porsche Boxster and Cayman twins that will inaugurate the all-turbo era for those two ranges. Almost all-turbo, that is - we're told that variants like the Cayman GT4 will continue with the flat-six. The rest, though, will come with a 2.0-liter, horizontally opposed, four-cylinder aided by just one turbocharger, according to Car's sources. Entry-level models will start at 240 horsepower, the S models graduate to 300 hp, the GTS trims get 370 hp. If accurate, the new new outputs will make for a wider power range than at present, and the base and S cars will go down in horsepower. Right now the Boxster gets 265 hp, the Boxster S gets 315 hp, and the Cayman lineup has ten more horsepower than the Boxster across the range but Car doesn't mention that continuing. The only gains come with the GTS models: the Boxster S will go up by 40 hp, the Cayman by 30 hp. To keep turbo lag from being an issue, Porsche could install some sort of e-boost to work while the turbo spools up "as a short-to-mid-term option." It is also possible that the Cayman will be sold as the entry-level vehicle in some markets at a lower price than the Boxster. The swap is planned to help Cayman sales, which have lagged the Boxster since launch. A 2016 unveil is predicted, perhaps at the Detroit Auto Show or Geneva Motor Show. Related Video:
Porsche in Paul Walker fatal accident was traveling over 100 mph before crash
Fri, 03 Jan 2014The Porsche Carrera GT involved in the November crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas was traveling at speeds above 100 miles per hour before Rodas lost control for "unknown reasons," according to a report from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office that has been acquired by The Hollywood Reporter.
Once control was lost, the Porsche spun, hit a curb and then impacted a tree and a light post, then it spun 180 degrees and hit another tree before erupting in flames, the report said. Neither Walker nor Rodas were under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident, according to toxicology reports conducted by the coroner.
As for the future of the Fast and Furious franchise, a separate by The Hollywood Reporter claims director James Wan, writer Chris Morgan and Universal Studios will move forward with the seventh installment in the franchise, which was only partially completed when Walker was killed.
