Up for auction is this 1972 porsche 914. The porsche recently received a bare metal restoration. To achieve this level of a quality build we started with a mint California non collision zero rust low mileaged car. All doors, hoods, bumpers, interior, drive train, glass and suspension where removed. The porsche was then stripped to bar metal throughout and received three coats of epoxy primer. The porsche then received it's factory color L96D silver metallic two stage paint. No detail was missed with this beautiful repaint close attention was applied to the engine compartment, inside front hood/luggage compartment, rear hood compartment, door post, under side of hoods and door jams. Extensive block sanding gave this porsche a factory straight body no waves or imperfections. The body gaps are true and consistent all the way around. The porsche received all new interior as well as all new rubber throughout. The porsche also received a new front windshield with the green upper tint giving the porsche a new factory look. The two door locks, front hood lock, rear trunk lock and glove box lock all work properly with one factory porsche key. The porsche handles well with newly installed top of the line all four Bilstein shocks/struts and new perfomance rear springs. Porsche also received four new Yokohama P195/60 R15 tires for a true sport handling. The stock factory engine was rebuilt with new high compression pistons and cylinders, rebuilt heads (Car Craft), high volume oil pump, new gaskets, new German muffler, powder coated sheet metal, all new injection rubber. Engine was assembled to factory specs including all heater system in working order. The engine runs like a factory new one plenty of smooth torque. Transmission shift flawlessly into all gears without issues no strange noises. Transmission can down shift from fifth gear to first without grinding. The braking system works well with quick responsive stopping. All the electrical works as it should throughout. This is a must see car in person there is just to much to list hundreds of man hours involved in the restoration of this highly collectable beauty.

Porsche acquires ANDIAL, will integrate with in-house motorsports
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Porsche has purchased longtime motorsports and tuning house ANDIAL.
The Fountain Valley, California-based tuning house ANDIAL has been around since 1975, when it was formed by the Arnold Wagner, Dieter Inzenhofer and Alwin Springer (the company got its name by combining two letters from each of their names). The three men met while working in a Porsche dealership in Southern California and then left to start a business that would put Porsches in victory lane all over the country.
Porsches prepared by ANDIAL won IMSA GT and Supercar Series championships, the SCCA World Challenge, four Pikes Peak class titles and the 24 Hours of Daytona six times. Alwin Springer left the company in 1997 to run Porsche Motorsport North America until 2004 and remains a consultant with PMNA, Wagner passed away in 2011 and Inzenhofer plans to retire this year. ANDIAL is still a going concern, Inzenhofer presiding over a scaled-down engine parts and restoration business. But Inzenhofer is retiring at month's end, making it a good time for Porsche to step in and take over the company's operations.
Porsche 918 Spyder officially priced from $845K, Weissach package $84K more
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Porsche has released official pricing for its entire lineup of 2013 models, which just happens to include the upcoming 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The 795-horsepower advanced-technology-lab-on-wheels is now officially confirmed to have a starting price of $845,000 in the US, which is the exact amount we were told earlier when we had the opportunity to ride shotgun in some 918 Spyder pre-production test vehicles.
What we didn't know at the time was the cost of the Weissach trim package, which is a high-performance upgrade to the standard vehicle that includes the deletion of some interior amenities and addition of lighter-weight carbon fiber appointments, magnesium wheels, flame-resistant upholstery, racing belts and aerodynamic aids - it's meant for track-going folk who intend to use their 918 Spyders as God, country and manufacturer intended.
All told, the Weissach package should drop the 918 Spyder's curb weight by some 80 pounds, while also lightening your wallet of an additional $84,000 - the car's MSRP with the Weissach package is $929,000. These prices don't, however, include destination charges, which, for something like the very limited edition 918 Spyder (only 918 will be made), could very well cost considerably more than your average Porsche.
Porsche 918 Spyder roars electric through London
Sun, Jun 29 2014The Porsche 918 Spyder can be an object of lust for anyone who appreciates the finer things in the automotive world, but for us greenies with penchant for speed, the car is an icon. This gorgeous, all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid offers 887 horsepower and 940 pound-feet of torque, can do 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds and is capable of 214 miles per hour. It lapped the Nurburgring in a record 6:57. Still, it is capable of near-silent, relaxed cruising through one of Europe's busiest cities. In a new video from Porsche, chief driving instructor Gordon Robertson takes the 918 to London and does just that. While driving in E-Power mode, he describes some of the things that make the car special, as well as how the technology has developed through the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the 919 LMP1 car to eventually be passed onto the Panamera S E-Hybrid. If you're interested, you can learn more about the car in our own drive review, here. It's great to see, for the first time, the 918 Spyder driving alongside London's black cabs and double-decker buses. The rubbernecking from pedestrians is noticeable and completely understandable. I'm sure we'd all love to see this car come silently sneaking down our own city streets, but until Porsche makes that happen, you'll just have to enjoy the video below.
