Porsche 911 Targa on 2040-cars
Hillsboro, Oregon, United States
My 1977 Porsche 911 Targa in excellent condition with low approximately 132,500 miles in Sienna Metallic. This car was restored in 1995, garage kept and driven little since. The restoration included a complete rebuild of the original engine with upgrades such as Carrera tensioners, case savers, pop off valve in air box etc., a complete high quality repaint, targa top and front leather seats restored, new shocks and struts etc. Around this same time a high quality Pioneer am/fm cassette with amp under passenger seat and 4 speakers was added, the stereo sounds fantastic! In 2009 this car had the complete front battery and suspension pan replaced as well as the front valence. I assume this car had some rust from the battery, which precipitated the repairs. This area is now excellent, perhaps better than new (see pics). These repairs cost approximately $8000. 1977 Porsche 911 cars are completely galvanized to prevent rust and this car has no rust at all, the floor pans and all other areas are excellent. The only area that had rust near the battery is fixed to perfection.Engine number is 6273091, which is a US, 911S 1977 so looks to be original to car. I should have a Kardex to verify whether this car is numbers matching in a couple of days and I will add that info as soon as I can. I just completed a 50 hour concourse detailing of every component including the interior, exterior, front trunk and engine compartment. This car runs and drives fantastic, it is an absolute pleasure and needs nothing to be driven or shown. This car includes the spare tire, an excellent jack and a fantastic, complete tool kit which I would value at $1000. Also included is a correct 1977 owner’s manual cover with green interior...

Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.
Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties
Wed, 14 May 2014These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.
China may surpass US as Porsche's largest market this year thanks to Cayenne
Thu, 09 Oct 2014China has already surpassed the United States as the world's largest automotive market, so it's no surprise that one day soon it will be the world's largest Porsche market.
In fact, that day may already be here, as the PRC's Porschephiles outbought their American counterparts in September. Porsche's Chinese dealers sold 4,344 cars last month to America's 3,607. Through all of 2014 so far, though, the US is still the larger market for the German brand.
"The U.S. performed very well this year, after a great year in 2013, but China is growing fast, thanks to the Cayenne which is our best seller there," Porsche's sales and marketing boss, Bernhard Maier, told Automotive News Europe.
