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 again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits

Wed, 15 May 2013

The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.

Toyota reveals cause of heartbreaking failure at Le Mans

Thu, Jun 23 2016

Toyota was set to become only the second Japanese automaker to win the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. But on the last lap, the No. 5 TS 050 car, which was being driven by Kazuki Nakajima, suffered a technical issue that resulted in a sudden loss of power. In a team statement, Toyota Gazoo Racing has revealed that the culprit was a "defect on a connector on the air line between the turbocharger and the intercooler." The defective air line connector, according to the statement, resulted in a loss of control over the turbocharger. The team isn't sure why the connector failed and is continuing to analyze the component to get down to the root cause, the team said in the statement. During the race, the team was able to get the No. 5 car running again by modifying the control settings. The fix, however, came a little too late as the vehicle could not complete the lap under Le Mans' maximum final lap time of six minutes and limped its way to 45th place. While the team is working hard to find the fix – to avoid a similar type of failure in the future Â– it claims there is no relation to the engine issues that were experienced by the two TS 050 cars at Spa during the World Endurance Championship in May.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand

Wed, Jun 3 2020

Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:
