Its mid-engine and impeccable handling evokes Porsche's legendary race cars, such as the 550 Spyder, the RSK, and the 904 GTS! With an air-cooled, economical VW 4 cylinder engine, the 914 was considered the “People’s Porsche” but their big twin brothers, the ill-fated 914-6 and 916 were genuine Supercars in their time. Now over 40-years old, pristine, original 914-6’s are rapidly appreciating with 6-figure price tags and a 916 (only eleven built) may fetch 7 figures! Although the 914 and 914-6 had an advanced body, their 1.7 to 2.0 liter engines (both 4 and 6-cylinder versions) were under powered, the brakes were too small, shifting was vague and the bodies weren’t as rigid as the 911 coupe. As such, people began modifying 914s ever since they started rolling off the assembly line. Unfortunately, many were saddled with heavy, V-8 engines, butchered and molested beyond recognition (and desirability) with fiberglass make-up kits. But when the best 911 components and most costly upgrades are faithfully integrated into its perfectly balanced chassis, the metamorphosis is a proper 914-6 “Tribute” car which--in many ways--is better than the real thing. Not surprisingly, perhaps, resale values for nice 914-6 conversions are also strong and finding one of the top 1% examples is like winning the lottery. Here's one! Built-up from a four cylinder 914 shell, this car was highly upgraded with a long list expensive performance components and modifications including full racing suspension, genuine Fuchs alloy wheels and a rebuilt, 2.4-liter 911 flat six engine! The current owner is a mature, prominent businessman who keeps the car covered and sheltered in his “man cave” among a private collection of museum quality Porsches. During his ownership, (less than 800 miles ago) the car was mechanically “perfected” and the interior was completely re-upholstered in full leather with Dynamat lining throughout the car and plush cut-pile carpeting. No expense was spared with upgraded power windows, door locks, keyless entry and a Bluetooth audio system. All receipts are available in PDF and can be emailed or faxed to you. Hence, a unique opportunity arises to obtain a coveted “6”; one that was pampered beyond belief by a mature owner with big pockets and the willingness to pay up for the best service and upgrades money can buy. Let's check out this dream find now, inside and out! From a distance, this Porsche is indistinguishable from a factory original 914-6 however when you get up-close, some very subtle but costly improvements can be appreciated. Painted in 2-stage enamel, the stone-gray finish is lustrous and smooth with only minimal signs of use. The car is equipped with the desirable "Appearance Group," consisting of chrome bumpers with fog lights up front and FUCHS light alloy wheels. Euro side markers are a nice addition Striking the perfect blend of the classic 914-6 and ultra-rare 916 supercar; the targa roof was painstakingly soothed and color finished to match the stone-gray color, a salute to the 916. The Targa top can be stowed inside the rear trunk to facilitate unrestricted open-air pleasures. With or without the top, this Porsche looks striking. There are no door dings, only few blems and rock chips to report. Porsche rolls on genuine 15-inch FUCHS wheels with YOKOHAMA S-drive 195/50R15 Radials While we’re down on one knee, let’s have a look underneath. More important than shiny paint is a healthy undercarriage. Everything below, including the front and rear suspension, looks marvelous as well. It's damage free, clean as a whistle. Most importantly, there is absolutely NO evidence of corrosion, collision damage or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights. Let's have a peak under the hood. Being a mid-engine car, this Porsche has two trunks: one in the front, and one in the back. The front trunk is surprisingly spacious. For safety reasons, Porsche placed the fuel tank amidships.
ID Plate provides valuable information about the car’s original options and trim. In the rear trunk, German engineering genius: Targa top is designed to stow away safely inside, still leaving plenty of space underneath! Original jack is stored here. Full Dynamat lining was installed throughout the entire car and provides superior sound deadening for a cool and quiet cabin. The brand new, fully upgraded leather interior exudes a fantastic aroma; let's investigate! Custom bucket seats were lowered to provide plenty of head and leg room, even for 6'6"-tall NBA players. "Pristine" is the only way to describe them properly. Even the dash is covered and stitched in supple leather. Note the leather grip, Momo steering wheel. The iconic gauge cluster featuring three large, circular, white-on-black dials with bright orange pointers is a timeless design. You can't improve upon perfection! The $2000 6-speaker Bluetooth audio system was installed at Car Stereo Warehouse in Anaheim, CA.
All instruments work, including the upgraded 911 VDO gauges mounted in center. The power windows, door locks, and remote locking bring this Porsche into the 21st century. The remote locking system automatically raises the windows, locks the doors and sets the alarm. 2 keys with remotes are included. From the carpets to the rubber seals; everything about this custom leather interior reflects a passionate owner who spared no expense to create this one-of-a-kind, Porsche! How about a quick peek inside the engine compartment? The Mad Dog Bulkhead Mount is the optimum conversion to house this indestructible 2.4-Liter 911 engine. It runs excellent, delivering 125 strong Teutonic horses at 5,900rpm. Woo-Hoo!! The twin, triple-throat Weber 40MM are perfectly tuned. Engine's bottom end; dry and clean, there's not a single oil leak to note. Recently serviced at the dealer, this Porsche is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically. Speaking of cosmetics, let us stress how immaculate the body is, how sparkling the chrome bumpers, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at a 4-year old, not a 40-year old car. This one is that clean! Drivability: Piloting this well sorted, SuperPorsche is nothing short of exhilarating! 914's seating position is low, like that of an Alpine A110, Mini Cooper, or monoposto, but there's plenty of room, even for tall drivers. The 6-cylinder power plant starts easily and revs willingly from idle to redline. There are no untoward noises, no fluid leaks and no surprises. The car runs, drives, shifts, corners, and stops perfectly. Very docile around town, but on the open highway the acceleration is mind-blowing. 914's mid-engine configuration provides very neutral handling characteristics. The enhanced suspension modifications easily handle the larger, higher horsepower engine; making the perfect road and track synthesis! Transmission is Porsche's legendary Type 901 5-speed manual unit, with its racing-derived shift pattern. It shifts smoothly in all gears and the clutch has perfect grip. Naturally, a super clean Porsche like this one is a prime attention getter, garnering excited comments wherever you go. From the air-cooled engine to the clock, everything works as intended. Recently serviced, (receipts included) there's nothing left to do but to drive and enjoy! You will not see another 914-6 conversion coming even close to this particular specimen. It's a pristine car, inside and out and with proper care it can be driven forever, or until you are ready to pass it on to the next generation. Presently, we have a clear, CA Title.

Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
$76,400 Porsche S E-Hybrid will debut in Paris
Fri, Sep 26 2014The 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E Hybrid will be an all-new model, one that adds a plug – and the required associated technological bits – to the currently available Cayenne S Hybrid. The most important of those bits is a 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery, but Porsche's Calvin Kim told AutoblogGreen that the SUV's electric-only range is still pending certification, but Hybrid Cars says that Porsche is estimating it'll be somewhere between 11 and 22 miles, "depending on the style of driving and route topography." Other than the new battery, the electric motor has been upgraded to a 95 horsepower/70 kW unit (up from the 47-hp/34 kW motor in the Cayenne hybrid without a plug). The overall powertrain now puts out a total of 416 hp and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. Alongside the electric parts, there's a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can find all of the E-Hybrid's available specs here and stay tuned for more information on the new plug-in SUV when it makes its debut at the Paris Motor Show in early October. The SUV will go on sale in the US on November 1, 2014 with a starting MSRP of $76,400, plus a destination charge of $995. In a new press release (available below), Porsche is also proudly saying, once again, that it will be the world's only automaker offering three plug-in hybrid models, once the Cayenne S E-Hybrid hits the market. The others are the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder. How long will this reign at the top last? World premiere of the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid in Paris Leading the industry: Porsche offers three plug-in hybrid models Stuttgart/Atlanta. The new Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid celebrates its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show. It is the world's first luxury SUV to offer a plug-in hybrid drive, setting new standards in its segment. The Cayenne S E-Hybrid also makes Porsche the leading manufacturer of plug-in hybrid vehicles: Complementing the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder, Porsche is the only manufacturer worldwide to offer three plug-in hybrids. In addition to the Cayenne S E-Hybrid, Porsche is presenting the other models that comprise the new generation of Cayenne including the Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, and Cayenne Diesel. Increased efficiency and performance, even more precise handling, a sharper design and a broadened array of standard equipment are its defining features.
Porsche Macan to get four-cylinder engines
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Porsche hasn't offered a four-cylinder engine since the 968 went out of production in 1995 - the better part of two decades ago. There'd been talk of a four-pot Boxster or an even smaller model to slot in below it, but while the latest intel indicates that Porsche is moving ahead with its four-cylinder plans, it's a different kind of vehicle that will get it first.
That, of course, would be the new Macan. Just revealed a few weeks ago at the LA Auto Show, the Macan crossover is being launched with a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines (a 3.0 with 340 horsepower and a 3.6 with 400 hp) and a six-cylinder turbodiesel with 258 hp. But smaller engines, according to emerging reports from Autocar and Auto Express, are on their way.
Word has it that Porsche is preparing a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 horsepower and a diesel with the same displacement and cylinder count, engines that will power new entry-level Macan models that will slot in beneath the existing Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo. While the diesel is tipped to be ported over from the Volkswagen parts bin, the four-cylinder gasoline engine is said to be under development by Porsche itself, which could mean it will have a boxer layout.
