Very, very clean 2003 Porsche 996TT / 911 Turbo. The car has 82,450 miles, but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. These cars are not prone to the same IMS bearing issues as the non-turbo Carrera cars of the same generation and the boxer motor is known to run for many miles. Everything is current service-wise for the 90K level including: full coolant flush, brake fluid flush, both differentials serviced, transfer case serviced, oil changed, cabin air filter, new window regulators, new right front CV boots. All service work has been completed since November 2014 by Midtown Autoworks in Sacramento. I have only owned the car since November, and I have found that the seats are just not comfortable for me. I had all of the recommended work done after my PPI from them. The only thing I have been watching is the transfer case? as I see one drop of oil occasionally from that area. I do have the hard to find (read "almost impossible!") gaskets for the case and the transmission to case seal that I will include with the car.The car has the following factory options: Tiptronic Trans, full leather interior, alcantara headliner, sunroof, heated seats, HID headlights, Porsche headrest crestsAftermarket extras: Techart full exhaust ($3,500), plug in GIAC Flashloader with stock/mid/race settings ($600), Kinesis 19" staggered wheels with satin black centers and gloss rim ($6,000), brand new Continental DWS all-season tires with warranty from Discount Tire ($1,500-Front tires are 235/35 ZR 19 and rears are 295/30 ZR 19), full professional audio system with amp/subs under rear deck/Kenwood DNX8120 touchscreen head unit/XM radio/Bluetooth ($5,000), fixed GT2 style rear wing painted to match ($2,000)-these cars are known to have problems with the factory retractable wing, so this was replaced by the previous owner.This car is very fast, produces around 500hp with the extras that are installed. Sits lower than stock, about 1.5" lower. Windows are tinted also. Runs as a Turbo should and currently has no issues. I welcome a PPI. I have the stock exhaust and rear deck lid/wing, Porsche custom fit car cover included.

Porsche Macan fails moose test, Stuttgart responds

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Different countries have different safety standards, but most of them revolve around a similar set of tests: front impact, side impact, offset impact, rollover... the usual. But Sweden has its own test. It's called the Moose Test (or the Elk Test), and it's unique to Scandinavia: a car has to be able to avoid a theoretical antlered mammal on the road while traveling at 43.5 miles per hour and return to its previous course without flipping over. The Jeep Grand Cherokee ran afoul of the uniquely Nordic maneuver a couple of years ago, but even more surprising is the way the Porsche Macan has reacted.
Under testing by Sweden's Teknikens Värld, Porsche's downsized crossover - specifically the Macan S Diesel, for what it's worth - didn't flip over, but it skidded off course. In real-world conditions, it follows, the vehicle could run off the road or into oncoming traffic. The testers ran the test several times, and even removed excess weight from the vehicle, and each time it reacted the same way.
In response, Porsche has explained that the behavior is the result of its Active Rollover Protection system kicking in. When the system detects that the vehicle could drastically oversteer, flip over or lose its tire, it momentarily applies the brake on the front outside wheel, allowing the vehicle to shed the cornering forces without losing it completely.

Paul Walker's daughter files wrongful death suit against Porsche [UPDATE]

Tue, Sep 29 2015

UPDATE: This post has been edited to include a statement from Porsche. While police blamed the crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and racecar driver Roger Rodas on excessive speed, Walker's daughter, Meadow, thinks Porsche is at fault. The 16-year-old has now filed a wrongful death suit against the German manufacturer to back up that allegation. According to legal documents obtained by E! Online, the suit alleges that the Carrera GT that Walker and Rodas died in "lacked safety features ... that could have prevented the accident or, at a minimum, allowed Paul Walker to survive the crash," with Porsche Stability Management being called out in particular. Federal motor vehicle safety standards didn't require new cars sold in the US to be equipped with electronic stability control until 2012. The suit focuses not only on the Carrera GT's lack of electronic safety systems and "history of instability and control issues," but on an allegedly defective seatbelt. It claims that upon impact, the belt "snapped Walker's torso back with thousands of pounds of force, thereby breaking his ribs and pelvis," and prevented him from exiting the car before it caught fire, roughly a minute and 20 seconds after the initial impact, according to TMZ. Soot found in Walker's windpipe supports the theory that he was alive and breathing when the fire started, the suit continues. Like the suit Roger Rodas' widow filed against Porsche in 2014, Walker's filing also alleges that the Carrera GT wasn't traveling at 80 to 93 miles per hour, as a police investigation concluded. But where Mrs. Rodas claimed the Carrera GT was going 55 at the time of the crash, this suit claims the hypercar was moving at 63 to 71 mph. That's a more manageable figure to be sure, and if true would have a serious impact on the way the car behaved, but it's still well above the road's posted 45-mph speed limit. "The bottom line is that the Porsche Carrera GT is a dangerous car," Meadow Walker's lawyer told TMZ. "It doesn't belong on the street. And we shouldn't be without Paul Walker or his friend, Roger Rodas." Porsche, meanwhile, has stood by the reports from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and other authorities.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
