Porsche 911 Carrera 911 G50 on 2040-cars
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States
1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 G50 Coupe low miles and rare color combination. It is a 3 owner car from new, I am the 3rd owner on the car. It is all original, no accidents, no paint work, no interior work. This car drives out beautifully. I have put about 1500 miles on the car after doing a major service on it (valve adjustment, oil change, filters, spark plugs), and the car hasn't skipped a beat. Driving the car it is very smooth and tight on the road. The power comes on smooth and strong without hesitation. Car starts up right away every time. Steering is very tight and the 911 drives straight and firm. The G50 transmission lives up to its reputation and shifts flawlessly up and down. Clutch feels great as well and the brakes feel like new. Inside the car, the interior is still soft and full of life...the AC actually works and works well. This is a rust free all original car that is just a pleasure to drive. All this....rare colors combined with the well desired G50 transmission make this late model Carrera a perfect fit for a collector or someone interested in a true classic 911. Details: Mechanical: -Stock 3.2 which is known as one of Porsche's bulletproof engines. Engine is very strong and smooth. Does not smoke other than the typical 911 startup puff. Valves were just adjusted along with oil change, fuel filter, spark plugs and general oil leaks addressed. Case does not leak oil. The engine has turbo valve covers and cat bypass pipe as well. Exterior: -Rare color which comes off as a slight purple/blue. It is a metallic known as Cassis Red from the factory. The paint shines up very well, absolutely no rust on the car externally or underneath. Car has never been painted. There are some scrapes and scratches around the car that appear to be parking lot related. Also the car has the typical rock chips on the front bumper and mirrors. Body panels are all straight with the exception of a couple minor dings. I have shown these in the photos I've included at the end of this description (over 200 photos of the entire car). underneath the car is in great shape. Floors are straight, fuel tank straight, rockers straight. And once again, no rust. Interior: -Inside the car is very amazing for the car's age. Leather looks and feels new. The dash is not raised or cracked, No sagging of the headliner, and the carpets are near perfect. Once again, detailed photos on the link below. The AC holds a charge, and blows nice and cool. Heat, windows, fans, locks, lights all work as well. This car was not optioned with central locking. However it was optioned with power seats, and an alarm. Sunroof works great, no leaks. Car has books (owners manual missing), spare tire, wheel locks, tools and jack. Suspension/Brakes: -Stock suspension and brakes. New brake pads all around, rotors are excellent and the car has brand new pad sensors. Car was optioned with 15 inch wheels show well for their age, no curb rash.

1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Porsche Cayman GT4 spot has us reaching for our driving gloves
Wed, Feb 4 2015We've got to hand it to Porsche for finally unleashing the potential of the Cayman, and not worrying about it infringing on 911 territory. The latest Cayman is, by all accounts, a superb sports car in its own right, gets even better as the Cayman S and that much more so in GTS spec. But the new Cayman GT4 takes things to a whole other level with a 3.8-liter flat six driving 385 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. Old school is what it is, and certifiably off the leash. We brought you the full skinny on the new GT4 late last night when it surfaced, but now Porsche has released a video clip highlighting what makes its new pocket rocket look so great. It's got Nurburgring graffiti, intimidated neighbors, barking fluffy dogs, gape-jawed children, and of course footage of the Cayman GT4 itself doing what it was designed to do. All we need now is to get our driving gloves on its Alcantara steering wheel and ball-shaped shifter.
