1989 Porsche 928 S4 Coupe 2-door V8 5.0l Automatic on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
Relisted due to timewaster (bwcollier5871) who had their offer accepted by me and then didn't pay! The 1989 Porsche 928 S4 was amazingly technologically advanced for its day. Aluminum body panels, weissach rear axle (passive 4-wheel steering), climate control, central warning panel, digital dash with trip computer, etc. It sold for $75,000 in 1989. Now, 24 years later, I still enjoy the way it handles and holds its own. I had always wanted one of these since I was a kid, so when the opportunity arose I bought one. I drove it to work every day and maintained and improved it regardless of cost. It has always brought a smile to my face. Now it's time to move on. Owned by me and driven on highway journeys daily (the last 55,000 miles) since September 2009. Always maintained by Porsche specialist
(Carl’s Place, Las Vegas) who I can't recommend highly enough - they know this car inside and out. Comprehensive receipts for more than $26,000 in last
4 years - Yes, $26,000! (it made my eyes water when I added it up...) The genuine Porsche 18” wheels (Carrera III) alone retail for $3,500 if you can find them (I still have the original wheels with tires (one with a nail in it) which are included as part of the sale). New rear tires, , battery, timing belt (Gates racing belt), Tensioner (Porkensioner), Engine Guardian Water Pump Drive System, PKlamp, silicone vacuum lines, spark plugs, leads, coils, distributor caps, air pump, 928 Motorsports aluminium radiator, 928 Motorsports twin electric fan upgrade, coolant change, thermostat. Air conditioning blows cold, power memory seats + mirror. Jager Engineering shifter and surround, Bluetooth hands-free stereo, 4-channel amp, upgraded speakers and crossovers (MB Quart – included, but not all fitted yet). Very good quality ceramic tint, custom exhaust.Reason for sale - I've loved using this as my daily driver for 4 years, but now I have a family and a large dog who just don't understand why I need such a selfish car. So I have bought a 2002 Audi S6 wagon (very nice!) which has replaced this Porsche as my daily driver and doubles as a family/dog-friendly transport. This is your chance to own a good 928 that has been thoroughly cared for, regularly driven, never abused, and enthusiastically upgraded. Please don't buy one that's been in storage or is much cheaper but has no maintenance history. You'll probably regret it. Don't be put off by the mileage - 153k over 24 years is less than 7k miles per year. I had the block checked with a leakdown test recently and I was told that it was still within factory tolerances for a new engine. Experian Autocheck - Accident - You will see an accident recorded in June 2009. It was a BEFORE I bought the car so I was very particular about checking it out before I parted with my money. The accident was a VERY slow speed rear end so required only a rear bumper repair, including paint and trimmings. The body shop bill was for $1705 (I have a copy of the receipt which lists the parts and labor). The previous owner was a detective in Seattle, Wa. Condition is good, but this is not a concours or show car (although I have taken it to some Porsche 928 meetings, and occasionally to Cars and Coffee Las Vegas on a Saturday morning where it gets a lot of interest, even amongst Lambos, Ferraris and classic muscle cars, corvettes etc.). I have spent lots of money willingly to keep the mechanicals in good reliable order as I am in the military and not showing up at work due to car trouble is a no no. I have upgraded many components to more modern standards where possible. If you want extra photos of anything in particular, let me know. I have also digitized the history documentation, so I can supply that too. There are some nicely touched up spots on the doors (quarter dollar sized), just below the mirrors, apparently this is quite common. This car is sold AS IS, no warranty given or implied. However, I hope it goes to a good home, as I get great satisfaction from having preserved and improved one of the great cars to pass on to another enthusiast who should get many years of walking out to a car that will make him or her smile. New battery fitted. Two new rear tires fitted. |

Porsche revisits its remarkable SC East African Safari rally car
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Porsche and motorsports just seem to go hand-in-hand. The brand has defined itself by its ability to compete on the track with the concept that racing bred better road cars. While we are used to seeing 911s speeding along circuits around the world, the rear-engine icon's success in rallying is somewhat less well known. The Porsche Museum aims to fix that by highlighting a 911 SC that competed in the 1978 East African Safari Rally.
The 911 rally car definitely projects a '70s vibe. You wouldn't see too many racecars with a pink brush bar sliding through the stages these days, but it looks amazing. Its bank of spotlights and two, giant, hood-mounted horns definitely give away the car's purpose. Best of all, that fantastic Martini livery defines the looks of Porsche racers from this era.
The 911 SC performed well in the East African Safari Rally, but some suspension damage meant that this particular one never raced again. It's been a part of the Porsche Museum ever since. Scroll down to learn a little more about one part of the brand's off-road legacy.
Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
2015 Porsche Panamera S First Drive
Wed, Mar 18 2015Porsche brought the Panamera in for its garage makeover and drove it out looking almost exactly the same. Turns out it was one of those fancy German refreshes where everything happens in places you can't immediately see, as we found recently on the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. The marquee revision across the lineup is under the hood, where every engine gets, at the very least, more power. Such is the case for the naturally aspirated V6 in the entry models, fitted with an increase of 10 horsepower for a total of 310. The same goes for the naturally-aspirated 4.8-liter V8, which lives only in the Panamera GTS now, and gets 10 more hp for a total of 430. That same V8, twin-turbocharged in the Turbo model, is graced with 20 more ponies for 520 hp. The mightiest marquee revision is saved for the S models, which surrender their use of the 4.8-liter V8 and get a 3.0-liter, all-aluminum, twin-turbocharged V6 in its place. It's a brand-new engine designed in-house and related to the 3.6-liter V6 in the base models, but with new features like a magnesium timing chain cover, variable camshaft timing for the intake and the exhaust valves, and a new fuel- injection system. Putting out 420 hp and 384 pound-feet of torque, it's got 20 more hp and 15 more lb-ft than the V8 it replaces. What's more, torque used to peak from 3,500 to 5,000 rpm, but the new torque curve maintains maximum twist from 1,750 to 5,000 rpm. It is less thirsty as well, posting an estimated fuel economy of 17/27 miles per gallon city/highway, besting the 16/24 city/highway of before. An improved stop-start mechanism contributes to this, as it cuts the engine earlier, and the coasting function benefits from a new disc clutch that can decouple the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission from the driveline. As we wrote in our Panamera S E-Hybrid review, you'd need to be obsessed with the Panamera to notice the sheet metal changes around that engine. It's the perfect car to ask, oh so coyly, "Notice anything different about me?" while you stand there dumbfounded, silently thinking, "No." Here is your cheat sheet: the front and back ends are "tighter," meaning faintly more squared off, the front intakes are larger, the tailgate gets wider rear glass over the same-sized opening, the rear spoiler is wider, and the rear license plate bracket has been mounted lower. But even now that you know what the changes are, odds are still 200-to-1 against you actually noticing.
