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.

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids
Tue, May 29 2018Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
Porsche calling in two Cayennes
Sun, Jan 4 2015We regularly see recalls addressing all manner of problems (or potential problems) affecting any number of vehicles: hundreds, thousands, even millions. Some are too small to bother reporting, but once in a while one comes along that's so ridiculously small that we couldn't pass it over. Like this latest one from Porsche. "Due to a manufacturing error," says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly and the screw connections of the camber, toe and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque." The recall affects the 2015 Cayenne... but just how many of them, you ask? Two. Not two hundred, not two thousand, but two: one Cayenne Diesel and one Cayenne S, manufactured between November 26 and... November 27, 2014. That very well might make this the most methodically German recall in the history of recalls. If you happen to be the owner of one of those two vehicles, expect to hear from Porsche with instructions to bring your Cayenne in to have the suspension re-aligned and the screws tightened. RECALL Subject : Front and Rear Alignment may be Incorrect Report Receipt Date: DEC 29, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V824000 Component(s): SUSPENSION Potential Number of Units Affected: 2 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain model year 2015 Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S vehicles manufactured November 26, 2014, to November 27, 2014. Due to a manufacturing error, the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly and the screw connections of the camber, toe and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque. CONSEQUENCE: If the suspension alignment was incorrectly performed, vehicle handling could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will perform a front and rear suspension alignment, and check the screw connections for the proper torque, retightening as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification date. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AF04. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.
