Porsche 911 Turbo 2001, Arctic Silver/ Black 996. One Owner, 15k Miles. 6 Speed. on 2040-cars
Longwood, Florida, United States
As an owner of 911's and a PCA member, for 35 years, I am selling the car I planned to keep forever. I waited for 2 years and bought one of the earliest 996 911 turbo's. Some say this is the best as Porsche toleranced the engine for low drag losses. The car was purchased from Porsche of Orlando and has been maturely driven. Check the condition of the original front tires and brake disks on the photos. All the original promotional items, books, keys, sticker, and receipts are included. This is great opportunity to acquire a superb unadulterated example of the earliest version of this landmark car at the lowest point in its depreciation.
Condition The car has always been garaged in an air conditioned environment and kept in Florida, covered from UV. There has been no accidents, damage or repair work. The rims are original with no scrapes or curb rash. The paint work is like new. There may be one or two very very small stone chips on close examination, but there are no scratches or dents. There is a patch of leather in the left side dash top near the windshield that shows signs of adhesion failure. I have tried to highlight it in the photos. The spare tire and kit has never been used. The rear seats may have been used twice. I have never had a puncture or breakdown. Never smoked in. Leather treated with 2 stage Leatherique. Service and replacement items. Porsche of Orlando has done the servicing since new. At 13,939 miles, they replaced the clutch booster accumulator and did a second brake flush. There was a leak from one of the wing raising hydraulic pistons and I replaced the entire hydraulics including pump just recently at ~15,000 miles. A couple of spots on the interior plastic were sticky and I cleaned them with oven cleaner to remove the stickiness. This is a common issue on European cars like Ferrari's etc. This car has been super reliable and nothing else has failed. At approximately 14,500 miles, the rear tires were replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 N3. Extras Included I bought a black optional bra to protect the front end and used it twice. At 10,161 miles a Speed Technologies stainless exhaust was installed by the Dealer as I thought the exhaust note was a little too quiet for such a fast car! The original system is available for the buyer and can easily be refitted to maintain complete stock configuration. No tuning or ECM modifications have been done. The car comes fully equipped as standard with PSM, e-gas. ABD, Bi-Xenon vertically steerable headlights, electronic sliding roof with tilt (used twice!), rear wiper, headlight washers, memory seats, 10 speakers. |

Is Porsche planning a GT5?
Tue, May 19 2015A trademark application filed in Europe suggests Porsche could be planning a GT5 model to slot at the bottom of its track-focused sports car lineup. The German automaker's GT skunkworks division in Weissach earned its reputation with enthusiasts producing the GT3 and GT3 RS versions of the 911, and previously offered GT2 and even GT1 models as well (although the latter was a limited homologation special). It recently extended itself slightly downmarket with the launch of the Cayman GT4, but this trademark application – already reportedly accepted in Germany and currently being reviewed by the European office – suggests an even more accessible model could be on its way, Autocar reports. Just what form a GT5 would take, however, remains a mystery. The numerical progression would suggest that Porsche is planning a hardcore version of an even smaller sports car, if such a project ever got off the ground to slot in below the Boxster and Cayman. Given that the 911 has bred both GT2 and GT3 versions, Weissach could alternatively be planning an additional GT version of the Cayman, or planning a hardcore version of the Boxster. The prospect of a GT5 version of the Macan, Cayenne, or Panamera seems unlikely as the alphanumeric designation has never been applied to anything other than a two-door coupe, but then we never really know what the future will bring: Before 2002 Porsche had never done anything with more than two doors altogether. These designations are typically borrowed from their corresponding racing class, and of course there is no GT5 category. But then most of these racing classes have been amalgamated into GT3 anyway, unless Porsche is planning on using the name for its own entry-level spec racing series. But at this point we're just spitballing. It's just as likely that the company has simply filed the trademark application to keep its options open for the future. Related Video:
Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move
Tue, Dec 6 2016With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.
Autocar pits Porsche 911 Turbo S against Formula 4 racer
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There is a long-running argument among performance car fans: power vs. weight. In one corner you get cars generally with small engines making modest numbers but able to corner like they are telepathic, and in the other there are big thumping mills that are rocketships in a straight line but lumber in the turns. Autocar takes an interesting look this continuum in a recent video pitting a 552-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S against a 185-hp Formula 4 racecar. It hopes to find whether the Porsche's huge power advantage is enough to defeat the better grip and aero offered by the nimble racer.
There's no doubt that the Porsche is an utterly fantastic road car. The 911 Turbo looks mean with all of those intakes to suck in cool air, and it backs up the posture with huge amounts of grip available thanks to its all-wheel drive-system. However, at 3,538 pounds, it's a bit of a porker compared to the 1,135-pound Formula 4 car. The open-wheel car boasts just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder from Ford and a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox, but it has loads of downforce to make up for it.
It shouldn't be a surprise that the formula car wins in the corners. After all, that's what it's made for. So do you think the massive horsepower superiority of the Porsche is enough to even the playing field? Scroll down to watch the video and find out, and even if you're not curious of the winner the 911 does some mean powerslides.
