2008 Porsche 997 Carrera 4S Cabriolet
Introduced for the 2005 model year, the 997 generation of the Porsche 911 addressed many of the complaints about the 996 generation before it. Having almost gone out of business in the early 1990s, Porsche embarked on an aggressive program to reduce the cost of building cars by enhancing the efficiency of the manufacturing process and by designing cars that were themselves less costly to produce. The 996 emerged from this new type of thinking, and together with the Boxster, reversed the company’s decline and laid the groundwork for the success the company now enjoys. Critics complained that while the 996 drove well, the quality and aesthetics had suffered, and the 997 brought both higher quality and exceptional good looks back to the forefront of the Porsche 911 value proposition. The cars were available in dozens of forms, with the S models gaining a 3.8 liter 380hp powerplant in place of the 3.6 liter 355hp of the standard car, as well as wider fender flares on the 4 wheel drive variants. This car is a Carrera 4S Cabriolet, which means it is equipped with the 3.8 liter 380hp engine, as well as the wider flares of the Carrera 4. It was originally sold in California and has covered about 35,000 miles from new. It is equipped with 6-speed manual transmission and was optioned with navigation, color wheel crests, and Sport Chrono. The car also has an iPod hardwire cable in the glove box. The car is complete with extensive books set, tools, compressor, and wind deflector. The car went to the Porsche dealer (Sonnen) in November of 2013 to get a check over and repair any issues under warranty that were needed. The tire pressure monitoring system sensors were replaced and a few other items addressed. The car was also thoroughly inspected and found to be in great shape overall. The car is in very nice condition, with only light wear to the paint from regular road use. There are minor chips to the paint on the front bumper and deck lid, but no other significant wear to report. The wheels are in good shape, with minor curb marks on the rear wheels, but none present on the front wheels. The trim is in good shape and the panels are straight. The glass and lights are in very good shape as well. The interior is in good condition other than some wear to the leather on the driver’s seat bolster and the hand brake handle. There are some burn marks on the passenger’s seat. The carpets are excellent, as is the dashboard and the accompanying switches and controls. The engine compartment and trunk are in excellent shape, with no modifications and complete original equipment including DVD navigation, tools, books, compressor, wind deflector, and bag for the wind deflector. This is a low mileage widebody Carrera 4 Cabriolet in very nice condition. It is a California car from new and is a great driving and quick car that can be driven daily in all kinds of weather. The car is very complete with books, tools, and compressor. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: This car is sold AS IS without warranty. A 10% deposit is due upon the successful completion of the auction.

DP Motorsport tries to turn a vintage Porsche 911 into a sleeper
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Once you get past the fact that it's hard to call a car a sleeper when it has race-product stickers on its quarter panel, and the script across the back panel reads "Porsche 911 3.2 Sleeper," it's fun to imagine what this car can do. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911, Germany's DP Motorsport took a model from 1986, stripped it of everything - including the paint and undercoating - then replaced everything with lightweight and race-ready parts.
In went race cams and ported cylinder heads, a lightweight flywheel, an RSR titanium racing exhaust, 935-style lollipop seats and RSR carpeting, a lightweight battery, perforated and galvanized hinges and brackets, hardened perspex windows. The 3.2-liter engine puts out 270 horsepower - 70 hp above the stock 911 on sale here in 1986 - and 226 pound-feet of torque through a limited slip differential to staggered wheels. The exterior color is metallic rock-green lacquer.
If you want one, $120,00 is where the part starts, but DP Motorsport says it offers the parts individually if you don't need your vintage Porsche to sleep this hard. On a side note, for a chucklesome journey back in time, check out this review of the 1986 911 that gets things going with this line: "First off, the Porsche 911 is very expensive - how does about 40 thou grab you?" Back on topic, there's a press release below that tells the rest of the story of the 3.2 Sleeper.
2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid
Tue, 09 Jul 2013Porsche's Performance Plug-in Preamble
By the end of this year, Porsche will be producing as many plug-in vehicles (two) as mainstream automakers such as Toyota, Chevrolet and Honda. Before the 2015 918 Spyder hybrid supercar goes on sale in the US, though, it will be warming its customers up to the idea of a plug-in model with the 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid. A step up from the previous Panamera S Hybrid, the new plug-in Panamera adds a more powerful and advanced electric drive system that pledges to deliver the performance expected of a Porsche with the added benefit of improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Going on sale in November, the Panamera S E-Hybrid is aimed at customers also considering the upcoming plug-in version Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but the car's dimensions and performance could make it a competitor for Tesla Model S customers. We headed to Germany at Porsche's invitation to see how well it performs, as well as check out the full range of newly refreshed Panamera models, which now numbers nine offerings - although we're still waiting for a production version of the gorgeous Sport Turismo wagon concept.
Seinfeld's Porsches, '61 Ferrari lead the way at Gooding Amelia Island sale
Tue, Mar 1 2016If you're in the market for a sports car with celebrity provenance or just an incredibly well-preserved high-performance machine, then you'll want to check out Gooding & Company's Amelia Island auction in Florida on March 11. The highlight of the sale is likely 18 cars, mostly Porsches, from Jerry Seinfeld's collection, but there's more to see than just the comedian's sporting metal. While several of Seinfeld's cars carry auction estimates in the millions, they aren't the most valuable at the sale. That honor falls on a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, which could sell for between $15 million and $17 million. This one is among the 37 examples with covered headlights, and it has some theatrical provenance after appearing in the Sophia Loren film Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. If your tastes skew more American, then one of 31 Ford GT40 MKI road cars is also among the lots. Gooding expects the rare coupe to sell for between $3.2 million and $3.6 million. Ford originally used this GT40 for dealer promotions, but it eventually fell into private hands. Even today, its multiple owners have only covered around 3,200 miles in it. Gooding also expects a 1931 Duesenberg Model J Disappearing-Top Convertible Coupe with a body by Murphy to bring $2.5 million to $3 million. The auction house claims this might be the "most original" example left because of a history of owners who kept it for long periods – and the vehicle never needed a complete restoration. Some lots carry more attainable estimates like $35,000 for a 1962 MGA. You can check out all the listings on Gooding's online catalog and some of the highlights in the gallery above. You've probably read the news about Seinfeld's Porsches, but here's a refresher: The collection includes amazing cars like a 550 Spyder, 917/30 Can-Am Spyder, and a 718 RSK. Related Video:
