1985 Porsche 928 S 5.0L V8

Up for auction is a well maintained 928 S. This is a Classic mid 80's German gran touring coupe. I've enjoyed this classic 928 for the short time I've owned it. Unfortunately I have new ventures to tackle and I need to sell it. I'd have no issue to continue to own it if my situation was different. I truly enjoy the way it drives for such an old car. I looked around for a few months before deciding on this one. It's not perfect and those that do their research on the 928 know it's short comings and it's blessings. I feel I found one that fit's what I was looking for just right. Sure there are a few things here and there that, depending on the buyer, might need attention, but for this price and the condition of the 928, I don't feel you will go wrong snagging this one up.

It is a 20+ year old car, so it's not in perfect condition. However, the engine, transmission, brakes (minus parking brake, needs tightening) engine cooling, idle, cold start, warm idle. running temperature are all in great condition. All lighting works fine. Pop up head lights function correctly and look cool doing so. Fog lights both function. All turn signals and brake lights work except third brake light. Brake light out warn light comes on when started, then turns off or can me manually turned off. This 928 has seen much maintenance to keep it up to date and road ready. New water pump, steering pump, shocks, belts, brakes and tires.The 928 tracks great and still has decent acceleration and great breaking. No smoking or leaks. Power door locks work great. Rear hatch release doesn't work correctly and must be opened with the key. The power windows work fast up and down, but are temper mental. Like all older 928s, there are some electrical issues. The power windows and rear hatch release are the only known electrical issues. There are a couple of small cracks on the dash that are near the windshield and are almost unnoticeable. The rest of the dash is clean and smooth. The driver's seat shows some wear through the cloth bolsters, but there are no other rips, cuts, tear or worn areas in any of the other  seats. Seats are cloth gray pin-stripe.The 928 has been re-sprayed. There are some signs for overspray on fine areas around the black trim, but nothing major. The paint is smooth and even and has a nice pearlescent shine throughout. There is a quarter size rust spot that is bubbling up, but has not penetrated through the paint yet. All the glass is in great condition and the front and rear have new sets of Bosch wipers.

I have two sets of wheels and tires that will go with it. The phone dial wheels currently on it are new, with new tires. There is no curb rash on the phone dials and the gray paint is still glossy and smooth. The slot style wheels that came with the 928 have some curb rash and the tires have 50+% of tread life left on all 4. I also have a set of Ruger, Porsche Fuch style wheels with a modern look that will sell separately. The front are 8.5x19 and 11x19 in the rear. They are gloss black with a polished lip and color Porsche logo on each center cap. I did not install these. Never had time. They are still NIB and have never seen tires and only have come out of the box for pics. (2 only). The other two still are sealed in the box and never removed. I will sell the set for $1,300, OBO, if anyone is interested. I also will include a short shifter I purchased from 928motorsports, still NIB, never installed.

I've tried to list as much as I can about it. If you have any specific questions I will be happy to answer as best as I can. I'm sure I left a few things out in this description. I'll try to get some other pics up as well and if you are a serious buyer and would like a specific pic, let me know and I'll get you your request.

(I'm selling this vehicle while I'm on deployment. I'm due back at the end of March, but I would like to have this completed before then so I can have time to spend on other projects while home for a short time. I have sold and bought other vehicles while being overseas. I actually bought this 928 while on deployment. So it's not an issue to conduct all the transactions over the phone and internet. Please call or send me a message if you are truly interested. 956-358-1842 cell. Please do not text as I'm overseas and I will not get them nor can I answer calls, but I can check my VM, so leave me a message and I will get back with you.)

All the best to those interested! Happy bidding!

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.

What is the fastest car in the world in 2024?

Sat, Jun 15 2024

It wasn't that long ago that the notion of reaching 200 miles per hour in a car, on a road, seemed basically impossible. As you likely know by now, that time has passed. And once that threshold was crossed, the automotive world immediately began eying the next triple-digit benchmark: 300 miles per hour. It may have taken a little while, but the 300-mph line has been crossed, and some cars have moved well past that seemingly insane speed number. While some of these speeds have been achieved in simulations (including the fastest car listed below), there's little doubt that a driver with nerves of steel and a heavy right foot could indeed push several automobiles up to 300 miles per hour and beyond. Interestingly, it’s not just one car or automaker in the 300-mph club, as a handful of models have earned a place (sometimes claimed but not yet demonstrated) on the leaderboard. The fastest car in the world is: Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (330 MPH) That title goes to the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, which recorded a staggering 330 mph top speed earlier in 2023. The carÂ’s twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 lays down 1,600 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque, which plays a significant role in delivering that speed, but KoenigseggÂ’s engineers have given the car a lot more than mind-blowing power. The Jesko Absolut has a super-slippery 0.278 drag coefficient and a nine-speed transmission that shifts so quickly itÂ’s almost imperceptible. Koenigsegg calls it a Light Speed Transmission (LST), saying its shifts happen at almost light speed. While that might be a slight exaggeration, the gearbox is impressive, bringing several wet multi-disc clutches and a super lightweight construction. As Koenigsegg says, "the Jesko Absolut is destined to achieve higher, more extraordinary speeds than any Koenigsegg or any other fully homologated car before it." How expensive is the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut? If you were reading that and wondering how much the fastest car in the world costs, the price tag is just another dizzying number on the Jesko Absolut's spec sheet. All 125 Absolut cars offered sold out at a price of almost $3 million. Of course, being able to afford the Koenigsegg is just the first step in realizing its full potential. There are very few places on the map that can support a 300-plus-mph speed run, and the locations that do are not conveniently located.

The 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S brings 50 extra ponies to Detroit

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Porsche has announced a new version of its popular SUV today at the Detroit Auto Show: the 550-horsepower 2014 Cayenne Turbo S.
This newly minted "flagship" of the Cayenne lineup is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine, and offers 50 hp more than the Cayenne Turbo. Performance figures are impressive for the sleek utility vehicle: 0-60 miles per hour can be dashed off in 4.3 seconds, while maximum speed is rated at 175 mph. The Turbo S also gets dynamic chassis control, torque vectoring and Porsche's Sport Chrono package - all standard equipment.
Visually the Cayenne Turbo S differentiates itself from the lesser models in pretty subtle ways. Gloss black trim decorates the gawping front air intakes, as well as rear-view mirror trim panel. The SUV also wears 21-inch Turbo II wheels, a la the 911 Turbo.
