1988 Porsche 928 S4, Enthusiasts Car With Loads Of Extras on 2040-cars
Gainesville, Georgia, United States

1988 Porsche 928 S4. The opportunity you have been looking for has just arrived. A well kept Black S4 Automatic from a 928 Enthusiast with key features such as premium sound system/w/bass tube, custom rims, Momo steering wheel and red LED lite instrument cluster to name a few. AC blows cold, reasonably new Continental tires on the front end. Exhaust growls like a shark should and is in good shape. I purchased this shark from a Porsche enthusiast two years ago who makes me look tame in comparison who shed a tear as I was driving away as he was staring a family and his wife made him an offer he could not refuse. Prior to my taking delivery the car had new motor mounts installed as well as a steering rack with tie rods. If you know anything about these cars, a set of rods and racks will cost you 2 grand and most used sharks you buy will need the work shortly. Also the complete top end hoses were replaced prior to my purchase. The mass air flow meter was reconditioned. The car comes with a complete set of 4 original slotted wheels with tires, a spare front bumper and lower spoiler as well as a set of original factory manuals ( rare to find in this condition ) and two Porsche 928 car cover, one each for indoors and out. And there is more, A full set or rear plate tools and jack with spare, tire cover, 12 V original pump and two original keys. All lights function. I have several spare parts to go with the car such as window regulator and other nicknacks that you may find yourself needing. No doubt about 928s, they need TLC once in a while.
Open and honest issues, Paint is in good shape, the drivers seat has a repairable tear in the cushion and the electric drivers seat does not work ( I'm 6'4" and it is all the way back and not a problem for me ). The odometer quit working at 128,000 miles ( before I purchased the car ) the prior owner put on 7,000 miles before I got the car and I've added another 3,000. I had a mechanic look to repair the odometer after I got the shark but he advised not to as all other gauges work and he felt that there was no upside to fixing it even though it is repairable. The battery is new, lower seals tightened, the car is a strong runner and passed a compression check before I purchased it and every time I drive it it puts a smile on my face.
I hope that if you are seriously looking for a 928S4, even as a daily driver, you will consider this Shark.

Porsche LMP1 to use 4-cyl hybrid powertrain [w/poll]
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With the Formula One season - and indeed his entire F1 career - now behind him, Mark Webber took advantage of his early release from Red Bull Racing to try out the new LMP1 which Porsche is developing, undertaking the final test session of 2013 before Porsche throws it head first into the FIA World Endurance Championship next April. The session - which followed previous tests at Magny-Cours, Monza, Paul Ricard and the Eurospeedway at Lausitz - was held at the Algarve circuit in Portimão, Portgual, in collaboration with Michelin, which is developing the tires for the car. But that's hardly the news here.
No, the news is the first confirmation we've seen on the type of powertrain Porsche has developed for its new Le Mans prototype: a gasoline-burning four-cylinder engine with direct injection and two energy recovery systems. This contrasts sharply with the V6 turbodiesel and single electric motor used by Audi in the R18 e-tron Quattro (or at least the outgoing version) or the naturally-aspirated V8 and single electric motor found in the Toyota TS030. Flexibility in the rules set down by the FIA and ACO give the manufacturers that kind of latitude, prompting F1 teams like Ferrari and Renault to consider developing their new engines for Le Mans prototypes as well.
At this point Porsche isn't saying how large its four-cylinder engine is or how much power it will produce. But it'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how it fares against the Audi and Toyota in next year's championship and at Le Mans when it'll be piloted by Webber, former Lola LMP1 driver Neel Jani and Audi's own 2011 Le Mans-winning pair of Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.
2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid
Tue, 09 Jul 2013Porsche's Performance Plug-in Preamble
By the end of this year, Porsche will be producing as many plug-in vehicles (two) as mainstream automakers such as Toyota, Chevrolet and Honda. Before the 2015 918 Spyder hybrid supercar goes on sale in the US, though, it will be warming its customers up to the idea of a plug-in model with the 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid. A step up from the previous Panamera S Hybrid, the new plug-in Panamera adds a more powerful and advanced electric drive system that pledges to deliver the performance expected of a Porsche with the added benefit of improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Going on sale in November, the Panamera S E-Hybrid is aimed at customers also considering the upcoming plug-in version Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but the car's dimensions and performance could make it a competitor for Tesla Model S customers. We headed to Germany at Porsche's invitation to see how well it performs, as well as check out the full range of newly refreshed Panamera models, which now numbers nine offerings - although we're still waiting for a production version of the gorgeous Sport Turismo wagon concept.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.
