You're looking at a 1987 Porsche 924S, with a 2.5L four cylinder engine, 5 speed transmission, 135,xxx miles on the odometer and lots of love left to give to a capable, mature driver.

Without being a museum piece, this is an impressively nice example of a sports car from one of the world's premier builders of the breed. The car is in solid mechanical condition; these cars are often available cheaply, in need of either timing belt or clutch service. This car had the timing belt replaced at 117,xxx miles and the clutch replaced at 133,xxx miles. The power windows and rare Saratoga glass top open and close smoothly, the rear hatch opens up all on it's own, and the engine pulls smoothly past 6K, where you'll realize that a "driver's car" doesn't need 8 cylinders or forced induction to deliver the satisfaction, balance and dynamic response of a well balanced, low-slung coupe.

Take note: this car is 26 years old, is not in showroom condition. In the interest of honesty, here are all the issues and problems with the car that I can think of mentioning.
-The nose of the vehicle has some paint chips, accumulated over it's mileage. No evidence of a wreck or crash, but I've included a picture for reference.
-The passenger side door makes a small clicking sound audible over bumps and pavement imperfections. This goes away when the window is adjusted up and down.
-The trunk carpet has some wear in the middle, but is not torn. One of the insulating pads under the carpet flaps that cover the tool chubby behind the rear fenders are missing.
-The brakes, while exceptionally strong with about 50% pad life remaining, have some glazing and can be felt pulsing gently under light braking. This does NOT prevent the brakes from working, but it is noticeable to the discerning driver.
-The dash pad has 5 noticeable cracks in it, none wider than 1/8" but present. Again, a picture is included to show this.
-The A/C blows cool, but not cold. If this is an issue that prevents the car from being sold, I'll have it serviced and re-list the car.
-The front seats have splits on both sides of the center piece of cloth, but the foam and the cloth itself is in great shape otherwise.

Serious parties and interested persons should feel free to ask me any questions. Thank you!

Chris Harris brings together the 918 Spyder, LaFerrari, and P1

Sat, Nov 21 2015

The Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 show that a hybrid powertrain can make for blistering performance despite its electric assist. This trio doesn't arrive on track together very often, but Chris Harris assembled these three stars at the Portimao circuit for a nearly hour-long demonstration of their amazing capabilities. So, which one is quickest around the track? Harris provides an answer with in-car video of all three contenders. His team also goes out of its way to even the playing field by sourcing tires independently from Pirelli for the P1 and LaFerrari. With the technical part out of the way, Harris can start having fun by doing his usual slides during the driving comparison. Tiff Needell and Marino Franchitti also eventually show up to provide the perfect recipe for a track battle in these hypercars. If you don't have the time, skip about 14:25 into the clip just to see the lap times. However, those numbers only tell a tiny part of the story. The whole video is definitely worth a watch.

Porsche 911 Cabriolet refresh may hide new engine

Wed, 22 Jan 2014

If we learned nothing else from our recent frolic through Porsche's secret museum, it's that the automaker goes to incredible lengths to disguise future products during initial testing. Just as a number of cars in that Stuttgart bunker hid the true identity of developmental mules (like the Audi-V8-powered 911), such could very well be the case with these spy shots showing what, on the surface, appears to be simply a facelifted 991 911 Cabriolet.
Similar to what we saw last month on a 911 coupe, this Cabriolet has obvious styling modifications made to the front and rear fascias suggesting that the 911's still-fresh appearance is already set to get a few tweaks. The big news here is at the rear of the car. The additional vents on the lower edge of the fascia and the mocked-up vent above the engine leads our spy photographer to believe that a new engine could be tucked under the body work - likely a smaller-displacement, turbocharged flat-six focusing more on improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions rather than performance.
We last heard rumblings of such a detuned 911 back in August, but could this be our first look at said new model? Have a look for yourself, and let us know what you think - either about this mule specifically or the idea of a "green" 911, in Comments below.

Porsche's new twin-turbo V8 will power Audis

Fri, May 6 2016

Porsche unveiled a new twin-turbo V8 engine at the 37th International Vienna Motor Symposium yesterday. According to a report from Car and Driver, the engine will see use in future V8 applications across the VW Group and could find its way into various Audis, Bentleys, and even the Lamborghini Urus. We expect to see it first in the 2017 Porsche Panamera. The engine makes 549 horsepower and 567 pound-feet of torque, or 21 hp less than the 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 in the Panamera Turbo S. Welcome to the brave new world in which Porsche is a more-integrated part of the VW group. While the new engine puts out impressive numbers, it likely means that the Porsche-exclusive 4.8-liter is headed for the history books. Component sharing is nothing new - Porsche already uses other VW Group engines in its lineup - but it means the flat-four and flat-six engines in the 718 Boxster/Cayman and 911 will be the only unique powerplants remaining in the Stuttgart automaker's offerings. According to C/D, the new engine features cylinder deactivation and is optimized for future hybrid applications. It also consumes 30 percent less fuel than its predecessor, and will mate to both an 8-speed automatic and ZF's dual-clutch 8-speed. Along with the next Panamera, Porsche is also likely to use this engine in the Cayenne. A representative of Porsche North America was unable to provide any official information to Autoblog.
