This rare 1974 Porsche roadster (914) with a 2.0 liter engine comes with dual 40mm double barrel carburetors. The engine was recently rebuilt, and has approximately 500 miles. This car runs good, and it gets all the attention wherever it goes!!! There are no major scratches nor dents on the exterior. The paint is okay, but there are a few imperfections, especially on the front hood. There is no visible rust. The tires are good, with about 70% of tread left. The brakes work fine, and I have extra brakes/calipers and many other spare parts for this vehicle. Car also comes with the original owner's manual and with about 15 repair books covering the entire vehicle (motor, transmission, electrical, body, suspension, fuel system, etc). The lights (electrical) on this car work fine. Registration/tags are good through August of 2014 and car is insured. I have the title/ pink slip registered to me.

 

 The seats are recaro/ Porsche seats from a 2000 Porsche Boxter or Carrera; they have seat covers and are a lot more comfortable than the original! The carpet, door panels, the back pad, the dash and everything in the interior looks good. Doors open and close fine and all door handles and window cranks work fine. The front glass and windows are good without cracks. The rubber seals are there, and they keep the interior dry. The dash is the original one, and was somewhat refurbished (cracks were filled and sanded, & dash was dyed black). Car has a nice Alpine CD stereo, and it also has several speakers. Car also comes with a center console with 3 gauges (clock, voltage and temp). There is a newer spare tire in the front compartment with a jack.

 

 There are some minor things that might need attention, like the AC, heater and the speedometer. They are either not functional or they are simply not connected (could be a fuse, relay or a line not connected). Fuel and temp gauges work fine. Also, I recently noticed that the car has a really minor oil leak, possibly from a pushrod tube. The seal might need to be replaced (easy fix). I always drove this vehicle on the weekends, with the top off (I never needed any AC or heater). Since my baby was born about 7 months ago, I haven't been driving it too much, and now It is time to pass it on. I regularly had a technician adjust the valves, carburetors and the timing. The car is 40 years old and it is in really good condition, overall! It is a survivor!! Potential buyers are welcome to come see the car. Thanks for your interest.

2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is one mean green machine

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

The entire Porsche Panamera lineup gets a refresh for the 2014 model year, and new additions to the range include two long-wheelbase models and this E-Hybrid fuel-sipper that makes its debut here at the Shanghai Motor Show. And, well, we say "fuel-sipper lightly."
Porsche has packed its hybrid Panamera with 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque, and that certainly makes for one quick sedan-hatchback-thing. Hitting 60 miles per hour will reportedly take just 5.2 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 167 mph. And while Porsche hasn't revealed specific powertrain details, the company says that the S E-Hybrid "improves upon the concept offered by the previous Panamera S Hybrid with a more powerful electric motor," which leads us to believe that the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine at the heart of it all still remains intact.
Fuel economy numbers (or estimates) have not been released as of this writing, but we expect to have that information closer to the car's on-sale date later this year. As for the new battery system, Porsche says that when plugged into a 240-volt charging station, it can be fully charged in just two and a half hours. When topped off, the Panamera S E-Hybrid should have an electric driving range of around 20 miles at speeds up to 84 mph, though, obviously, not at the same time.

249 reasons you want to go to Goodwood Revival

Sat, Sep 16 2023

At its most basic, Goodwood Revival is a long weekend worth of car races featuring cars made before 1970. There are lots of those, though, including some pretty great ones all over the world. But nothing is like Goodwood Revival because it's so much more than "just" vintage car racing.  First, you have to look the part. Attendees are strongly encouraged to dress in period clothing from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, with a strict dress code enforced should you want to enter the paddock. The goal is to create a more authentic atmosphere to match the cars and the meticulously restored and recreated paddocks, grandstands and other facilities of the reborn Goodwood circuit. Now, the dress code was relaxed this year since the Saturday was literally the hottest Sept. 9 on record in that part of England, and the organizers didn't want people dropping dead because they needed to wear an ascot. Some people definitely took the "relaxed" bit too far, but there was still plenty of atmosphere maintained. It really does make a big difference, as those "relaxed" individuals were often akin to seeing a Starbucks cup in a scene from "Game of Thrones."  You can see what I came up with below along with former Autoblog editor Reese Counts and various other Goodwood attendees. Second, there's the parking lot. But I'll let this entire separate post detail that. Third, there's the enormous carnival-like area featuring vintage-looking rides and various boutiques. Both of those are on the outside portion of the track, and honestly, you could easily just spend your entire day in the parking lot and carnival/shopping area without even crossing over into the circuit area. There you'll find more shops, food and drink opportunities, plus obviously, race car paddocks and the track itself.  Fourth, there are airplanes! I heard there are fewer than in the past, but they're there and they're cool. The Goodwood circuit started out life as the perimeter road around the World War II airfield RAF Westhampnett.  Fifth, with all of the above, Goodwood Revival really is fun for the whole family. It isn't just a bunch of old guys sitting around in lawn chairs. There are plenty of women and adorably dressed children, including babies in vintage prams. It's also not an event that's exclusively for the uber rich, even if they are certainly in full force given who has the sort of money needed to go vintage racing.

Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach package does 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

Porsche marketers are having a field day with the 918 Spyder after some last-minute tuning improved the car's performance. They now say that it's so fast it's already beaten itself. Let us explain: Using a Weissach package-equipped 918 as an example (which reduces the plug-in hybrid supercar's weight through the deletion of some interior items, more generous use of carbon fiber and magnesium wheels), the car's previous official 0-62 miles-per-hour time of 2.8 seconds has been cut to 2.6. Additionally, 0-124 mph takes 7.2 seconds and 0-186 mph is dispatched in 19.9 seconds, times that were reduced by half a second and 2.1 seconds, respectively.
In all-electric mode, a non-Weissach pack 918 does 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds (with the package, 6.1 seconds), down from 6.9 seconds. Efficiency is also improved thanks to the final tuning. The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) rating of a Weissach pack-equipped car equates to 94 miles per gallon, up three mpg compared to before. That's pretty good for a car with 887 horsepower!
Check out the press release below for more details on how Porsche's final tuning measures improved its flagship supercar.
