1976 Porsche 912e In Excellent Cond!! 1 Of 2092 Made; 1 Of 10 In Talbot Yellow on 2040-cars
Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
FOR SALE: 1976 Porsche 912E in Talbot Yellow on Brown/Orange Interior in EXCELLENT condition For sale is this wonderful 1976 Porsche 912E. It is a lovely car in Talbot Yellow (1 of only 10 Talbot Yellow 912's ever registered http://www.912registry.org/restore/rare912colors.htm ) over a brown/ orange interior. This car is very "period" and has only one option that I can see: air conditioning. No sunroof. No tinted windows. No Fuchs. No passnger side mirrior. Just a simple yellow 911 with a 4 cylinder motor... It's called a 912E, has a unique place in Porsche history and offers a very pure driving experience. Many of you know the history of the 912E. It was made in the model year 1976 only and was an interim offering to bridge between the outgoing 914 and the 924 which was not finished and ready for production. Only 2092 examples of the 912E were made and this is number 2033 (so late in the run). Porsche needed an "entry level" and fuel efficient model in addition to the 911 and so the 912E was born. http://www.porsche912e.com/docs/about.html Unlike the 912 of the late 1960's which used the 356 motor and had a different rear subframe to the 911 of that time, the 912E has a 1976 911 chasis and rear subframe which is modified to house the 914 4-cylinder motor. As such, dropping a 6-cylinder in the 912E is not too challenging. However, the extra power of a flat six may take away from the charm and unique nature of the 912E. Here is an example of how intoxicating they are: http://www.aircooledtechnology.com/index.php/porsche-912e And they hold their own on the track with a 4-cylinder!! It is a full Porsche 911 chasis after all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCY3hv_qbGo This car has been fully inspected, sorted, restored and repaired. It is fully functioning in all major areas and is a joy to drive. All of the things this car offers, has and does not have will be outlined here so you will have a complete picture of the car. I bought this 912E from the son of the owner for the last 20+ years who was no longer able to drive the car. It was used to commute around Washington DC for the last two decades and was garage kept - and well loved! I did a full cosmetic and mechanical overhaul to flush out and address hidden probelms and bring the car back to its' full glory. Mechanicals: 4 cylinder motor in excellent mechanical condition. Starts impeccably with no smoke and revs freely. Responsive and smooth. 5 speed manual gear box. Enagages properly with smooth action. Clutch has excellent grab and no slippage at all. Tires in excellent condition with 85+% tread Rotors and pads 75+% life remaining. Excellent braking! Upgraded Bosch H4 headlamps - very good light at night! Factory air conditioning option installed. The compressor is not installed but is present (as are all lines) and air flow systems work very well. In fact, the factory a/c fan system installed along the lower aspect of the dash blows air VERY well through out the cabin and is awesome!!! Heater fan works well and head unit was just renovated. All wiring under dash renovated or replaced. I uncovered a significant safety issue and had it sorted out PROPERLY. All electronics function. All windows roll up and down correctly. All door handles and latches operate properly. Cosmetics: This is a TOTALLY RUST FREE CAR. All of the critical areas are completely free of any rust. The car has been garage kept and it shows. Talbot Yellow exterior. Previously repainted to a high quality using factory paint and in excellent condition. Very few stone chips. GREAT appearance. Brown/ orange interior. Previously refurbished interior to a high quality. My only complaint is that the material around the dashboard above the gauges is not fully adhesed any longer and has some saggy creases. Repairing this requires removal of the dashboard and windshield - too risky for such a small return. Bummer really but the creases are not too noticeable. Steel wheels powder coated black with original hub caps with authentic Porsche sheilds. GREAT condition. Authentic (and period) "Coco Mats" in excellent condition. Sweet Porsche shift knob. All seals and rubber in excellent condition! Binder of papers from the last 10-20 years. Tool kit, jack, etc. This car has wonderful road presence and gets thumbs up and comments every where it goes! Here is the photobucket with far too many pcitures: http://s1294.photobucket.com/user/993-for-life/library/1976%20Porsche%20912E#/user/993-for-life/library/1976%20Porsche%20912E?sort=3&page=1&_suid=140384145321805628721095565511 Also, here is a video I made of the car so you can see how it moves on the road: http://youtu.be/a00mHA1WxnU If you have any questions please let me know via email or call me at 434-825-8899. I have started the bidding at $0.01 and set a reserve price. If you are interested in this car and want to discuss a "buy-it-now" price please call me to discuss. Thank- you and happy bidding! Jim

Super Bowl LVII car commercial roundup: Watch them all here
Mon, Feb 13 2023Fewer automakers than usual spent money advertising during Super Bowl LVII. In total, there were only five traditional ad spots from three big OEMs. A number of car-adjacent ads aired during the Big Game, too, and we’ll bring you those ads in this roundup alongside the more obvious ones. WeÂ’ve compiled all of the automotive-related commercials for you here in this post so you donÂ’t have to go searching for them elsewhere. Read on below to see what aired as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles. Ram's Super Bowl spot offers a cure for 'Premature Electrification' This commercial revealed the new electric Ram Rev pickup, and itÂ’s themed like a prescription ad for an antidote to "Premature Electrification.” A concerned narrator in the Ram spot asks if you're afraid that going electric too soon will mean "you might not be able to last as long as you like," and there's a guy on a pier who's going to need some new equipment if he wants to catch fish. We're also told there are "options being designed to extend range in satisfying ways," so if this truck isn't right for you, you have choices. All the commercial's missing is a silly medical marketing name and six seconds of speed-reading gibberish about side effects like intestinal bleeding and death. Which are two more good things. Jeep 4xe Super Bowl commercial highlights modern version of 'Electric Boogie' JeepÂ’s “Electric Boogie” commercial follows the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe in a variety of simulated off-road situations. Though fun, the soundtrack is the real star of the show. The songÂ’s original artist, Marcia Griffiths, was joined by Grammy winner Shaggy, Jamila Falak, Amber Lee, and Moyann on the track. The modernized re-recording celebrates 40 years since GriffithsÂ’ original track, and Jeep says the track is available for streaming now. Kia returns to the Super Bowl with the tale of 'Binky Dad' This year, Kia follows the adventure of "Binky Dad" in his quest to fetch his daughter's lost pacifier, which naturally takes him over just about every bit of terrain you might encounter upon leaving the civilized confines of Southern California for the not-so-civilized mountains of ... probably also California. It features the refreshed 2023 Kia Telluride, which probably doesnÂ’t need much advertising to see these days, but Kia went for it with the strong three-row SUV anyway.
Pininfarina teases its Tesla- and Bugatti-baiting EV supercar
Tue, Jul 10 2018Pininfarina isn't being bashful when it comes to getting into the car business. The Italian design house has revealed a sketch of the PF0 Concept, an electric supercar aimed directly at the world's fastest and most expensive vehicles. With upward of 1,000 horsepower, along with an expected price in the millions of dollars, this extreme EV is meant as a calling card for Pininfarina's upcoming range of electric cars and SUVs. So should the likes of Tesla, Porsche, Ferrari, Bugatti and Lamborghini be worried? Pininfarina might be new to building its own cars, but the company has many decades of experience designing and engineering some of the most desirable cars of all time — including many of the finest supercars to have worn a Ferrari badge on their nose. As we reported earlier this year, Pininfarina has teamed with Indian auto manufacturer, Mahindra, to develop a range of high-end EVs. With this roughly $500 million investment, not to mention some engineering help from Croatian supercar manufacturer, Rimac, Pininfarina aims to start high. The company will first introduce a hypercar, based on the PF0 Concept, within two years, then bring along a range of more affordable electric cars and SUVs. These will more directly take on the likes of Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus, and Tesla Model X. So yes, if you're in the business of building expensive cars, especially ones with a lot of batteries positioned inside them, Pininfarina's plans for the PF0 (that's a zero, not the letter "O," by the way) should make you sit up and take notice. "Automobili Pininfarina is a pioneering new business created to service the most discerning clients in the world," said Michael Perschke, CEO for Automobili Pininfarina. "Our product portfolio will launch with an innovative, zero-emissions hypercar that represents the progression we aim to make at the pinnacle of the luxury and sports car market." According to its press release, Pininfarina is currently presenting its "business and product plans to prospective retailer partners, clients and media in New York this week." After its tour of the Big Apple, look for Pininfarina to officially reveal the PF0 Concept during Monterey Car Week in August.

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race
Fri, 10 Oct 2014We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
