Porsche 911 Carrera 2 on 2040-cars
Millcreek, Illinois, United States
**Pics of front lower bumper area is just wax, not scratches. Type in ismejia on flicker to see video. Not great but hope it helps.Updated 6/24: Forgot to mention that car has Steve Wong chip. This is a real nice common upgrade on 911's. Chip makes a considerable difference by reducing sub 4000 rpm lag and making vehicle more spirited. Also improved torque and throttle response. Please google 911 chips for more info. Description: Up for sale is my gorgeous example of a rare Slate Gray 964. I have documented service history and maintenance going back over 16 years. All body lines are straight, and she drives and pulls wonderfully. A/C is ice cold and all mechanical functions work as they should. Plenty of power in engine. Interior has no tears, rips, or odors and is all original except for head unit. I have original and functional Blaukpunkt stereo that came with vehicle. Please note that original stereo will be included with sale. My car was upgraded with lighter weight OEM Porsche Cup 2 wheels with professionally powder coated finish to last for years to come. Again, I have original wheels and will include with sale of car. Tires are Bridgestone Potenzas. They are newer and have 75-80% thread remaining. Cup 2 wheels are in fantastic condition with no scratches or curb rash. I invested almost $2k this past month on engine maintenance (all receipts will be given to new owner). New spark plugs, valve cover gaskets, and valve adjustments. Rear calipers were upgraded to bigger OEM Porsche calipers. These provide better overall braking and is a common, but expensive mod on these cars. Also, suspension was upgraded with Bilstein adjustable struts. Clutch was replaced by Porsche dealer at 30K miles. Dash is in good condition with no tears. Car has not been tracked or raced. Only high quality Brad Penn oil used. This is a Clean Carfax car. Drivetrain: Engine and transmission are in perfect working order. Transmission does not slip and it holds the power as it should, motor pulls very strong. Axle boots are in good condition, all wear components have been gone recently inspected. Brake pads are fairly new and have plenty of life left. Like I said, new plugs, valve cover gaskets and valve adjustment were done last week. A new Porsche OEM oil cooler was installed last week due to small leak. This is a dependable driver that needs a new home. I'm only selling due to family situation. Interior: Interior is all original and very nice. I am a non smoking owner. All original manuals and original keys come with the car. Additionally, car has complete and original tool kit. Only thing I miss-placed was original cigarette lighter knob. I have to look harder but I think it's in my garage somewhere. Exterior: The exterior is all original. It does have a few rock chips here and there. This should be expected from a 25 year old car with original paint. Sunroof functions perfectly, and there are absolutely no signs of rust anywhere. Overall the paint is very nice. I would rate it a 9/10. Air cooled 911's are harder and harder to find in this condition. Please look around and you will see what I'm talking about.

Volkswagen Group's Vision 2030 strategy could bring revolution to the brands
Sat, May 11 2019One would expect a corporate plan called "Vision 2030," looking 11 years ahead through wildly tumultuous times, to involve great change and numerous forks in numerous roads. According to Automobile's breakdown of Volkswagen's path forward, though, the plans contain some lurid potential surprises. The ultimate aim is return on investment, and that means ruthless reorganization of a conglomerate with eight primary car brands, two car sub-brands, and Ducati motorcycles. The first two Vision 2030 cornerstones Automobile mentions are near boilerplate: Production network restructuring, and "streamlining of key technologies." The latter two are the ones that could upend what we know as the Volkswagen Group: focusing on the Group's core brands — meaning Audi, Porsche, and VW — and transitioning to EVs, autonomy, and other mobility solutions. Based on the report, a quote from Audi's CTO referring to the Audi brand could cover how the Group plans to handle all of its brands: "We need to find a sustainable solution for the indefinite transition period until EVs eventually take over." The boutique divisions adjacent to carmaking, Ducati and Italdesign, look likely to be spun off. For the halo car brands — Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini — apparently shareholders want double-digit returns on investment, and the trio doesn't have long to hit the target. One eyebrow raiser is when the report states, "Bugatti is tipped to be gifted to [ex-VW Group Chairman] Ferdinand Piech." Piech fathered the Veyron during his tenure at VW, and it was thought he commissioned the La Voiture Noire, but he's lately stepped so far back from VW that he sold all his shares in the Group. Automobile quoted a senior strategist as saying of money-losing Bentley, "Why invest on a backward-looking enterprise when you can support a trendsetter? A proud history and excellent craftmanship alone don't cut it anymore." We guess no one at Ferrari, McLaren, or even Porsche got that memo. Bentley is reportedly close to being put in time out, and if brand CEO Adrian Hallmark can't right the Crewe ship, the hush-hush Plan B is to prop the Flying B up enough to lure a buyer. As for Lamborghini, caught between two masters at Audi and Porsche, even record-breaking numbers at the Italian supercar maker barely staved off sacrilege. It's said that VW brand CEO Herbert Diess considered putting a 5.0-liter Porsche V8 into the Aventador successor.
Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
