1981 Porsche 928 5 Speed With Sbc 350 From Renegade Hybrids on 2040-cars
Aurora, Colorado, United States
1981 Porsche 928 5 speed with Chevy 350 The best of both worlds. Porsche styling and handling with the reliability, power, and maintainability of a SBC. This is not a shade tree conversion. The conversion was done at Renegade Hybrids of Las Vegas (renegadehybrids.com) and owned by a mechanic who was employed there before I bought it. Included is the full 928 factory workshop manuals on CD. Engine: 350 SBC with Holley 750 CFM single pumper. Less than 1K miles on top end rebuild that included new cam, lifters, timing gears/chain, and rockers at over $2k. Included is a Holley 4Di TBI system (ECM currently installed, throttle body removed) with software. Custom aluminum headers to a 3 inch single exhaust, 2 cats, and a Flowmaster turbo muffler. Custom oversized aluminum radiator with thermostat controlled fan in front, and twin manual fans behind. Drivetrain: Porsche 5 speed manual, hydraulic carbon fiber clutch, 80% LSD. Car: 1981 928 repainted Porsche Panther Black with S4 spoiler. Always covered or garaged. The car sits on 17" 911 cup wheels with Yokohama ES100 Front (225/45/ZR17) Rear (245/45/ZR17) and Biltstein struts all around. Newer black carpets, with tan leather interior. Front seats in good condition with no rips, back seats average. Tan and black dash mats (leather is deteriorated). Bad: Will not pass Colorado emissions. Carb is jetted low and it passes CO, but not HC. I have been told that this may be a timing issue, but I cannot confirm. Being a 1981, it only requires the standing test. Small leak in the radiator (Stop leak may fix, but I personally won't use it). Dash lights are all out, but I have LED replacements. Crack in windsheild. Climate control not working (only fan on defroster). Second gear synchro worn and odometer does not work (common issues). Clean Colorado title, and my only involvement in shipping will be backing out of the garage and handing the keys to your shipper. $16,500 or best offer |

2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Think of the electric motor in the facelifted 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as the cream filling in an Oreo cookie. Under the hood of this plug-in hybrid crossover is a 333-horsepower, supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 95-hp synchronous electric motor sandwiched between it and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The clutched powertrain allows pure combustion, pure electric or a combination of both to drive all four wheels through Porsche's permanent all-wheel-drive system.
Differentiating itself from the Panamera S E-Hybrid sedan, which shares the same basic powertrain and stores energy in a 9.4-kWh battery, the Cayenne crossover is fit with a more robust 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers an estimated pure-electric driving range of up to 22 miles at speeds of up to 78 miles per hour.
To be one of the very first US media members to sample Porsche's latest fuel-efficient crossover, the automaker flew us to Frankfurt, Germany, to test the five-passenger Cayenne S E-Hybrid on its home turf.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
2014 Porsche 911 Targa takes its crop-top off in Motor City
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Back in 1965, Porsche invented the 911 Targa as a matter necessity. Believing that a finicky National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was prepared to outlaw convertibles, the innovative automaker created the half-open car as a way to keep wind rushing through owners' hair. Though far removed from those formative days, it seems as though the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa has come to the Detroit Auto Show with a new-school version of some old-school tech.
While the last Targa featured a trick sliding glass roof at the touch of the button, the new car dramatically swallows a traditional-looking panel via an exceptionally complex-looking mechanical operation. The net result is "the same fun factor and freedom" that can be had with a complete convertible, though with slightly more open-driving protection while underway.
And, as is the case with all of the current 911 range, getting underway can be done with reasonable rapidity. The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.
