Up for auction is this "Exceptionally Rare" 1995 Porsche 928gts.  This was the final year of production for the Porsche 928gts.  Ferdinand Porsche (owner of the company) reportedly drove one of these cars.  The color is "Polar Silver."  It has a black leather interior.  It also has an electric sunroof.  There were only 77 1995 Porsche 928gts cars produced.  This car is Production #13 of 77.  It is Serial #73.  Only 9 of the 77 cars produced came in the color "Polar Silver."  Only 6 of those 9 cars came in with the Automatic Transmission.  It has 72871 miles.  The engine is a 345 HP, 5.4L 32 valve V8. This car is in "amazing" condition and has a lot of extras you won't find on any other Porsche 928gts.

This car comes with Chromed Techart wheels (Germany) & centercaps.  The front wheels are 8.5 x 18.  The rear wheels are 10.5 x 18.  They were both purchased and professionally chromed by "Wheel Enhancement" out of California.  The wheels have four (4) Michelin Pilot Sport wheels on them with less than 600 miles on them.  The front tires are 225/40 ZR18's.  The rears are 295/30 ZR18's.  The rear tires are very wide and completely underneath the body with no rub issues on the front or rear.  This gives the car a very powerful and menacing appearance.  It is a very cool look!  I get compliments on this car every time I take it out in public. 

The soundsystem includes a Alpine CDA9885 radio/CD player, and it is set up with an IPOD connecter hidden in the center console.  All 10 of the factory speakers have been upgraded to MB Quart (German) speakers, along with a MB Quart Subwoofer.  It comes with a Soundstream Van Gogh (VGA800.5) Amp that powers the system.  This is an 800 Watt 5 Channel Amplifier, that has a very low Total Harmonic Distortion Level of .02%.  This is the cleanest and the most crisp sound I have ever heard from a car stereo.  The stereo has a complete system of MB Quart Crossovers set up to get the right frequencies to the right speakers.  The MB Quart Subwoofer, MB Quart Crossovers, and the Soundstream Amp are all housed in the rear hatchback area in a professional cabinet that matches the black leather in the vehicle.  This professional cabinet includes a discrete switch for black light illumination if desired.  All of this was professional installed.  No corners were cut, because I wanted it perfect.  The car has also been equipped with a discrete (hidden) cable for connection of your radar detector to the visor.  

Both factory front seats have been replaced with Black Leather Recaro adjustable seats with lateral and thigh support.  They were just installed last year, and still look brand new.  The car has been driven less than 500 miles since they were installed.  They are "much" more comfortable than the original factory seats, and much sportier looking as well.  They are fully adjustable.  Recaro makes the best leather seats, and that is why I selected them for this car.  The entire leather interior of the car is in "beautiful condition." 

Mechanically, the car runs exceptionally well.  It is very smooth with powerful throttle response.  The "Timing Belt" (a critical element of these cars costing about $1000.00 parts + labor) was just replaced in June of last year.  It has less than 500 miles on this new timing belt.  The car battery was replaced in June of last year.  This car has been "very well" taken care of.  It has always been garaged, is rarely driven, and has been regularly maintained via service from Jones' Autowerks, Inc. (in San Antonio, TX).  I have receipts documenting maintenance.  I have owned this car since 2004.  This vehicle can be inspected prior to sale at the buyers discretion to verify the condition of the car.  The oil was changed less than 500 miles ago (Castrol GTX 20W50).  There are "no" oil leaks, which speaks to the excellent condition of this car mechanically, because most 928's do leak some oil.  The AC blows cold.

This is the nicest Porsche 928gts that I have ever seen, inside and out.  The Porsche 928 "gts" is a very rare car anyway, but the 1995 928gts is the rarest and most desirable of all.  It was the final year of production and represented the ultimate refinement of this model.  Again, there were only 77 of these cars built, and this one was #13.  I am selling this car because I am getting older and need to downsize my car collection.  This car is in superb driving condition, and it is ready to go and drive "now."  Maintenance is up to date.

Thanks for looking.  If you have personal questions, please let me know.  I am very proud of this car, and if you are looking for a Porsche 928gts, you won't find one better, as the pictures illustrate.  Pictures of the excellent black leather interior on this car will be posted shortly.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

2014 Porsche Cayman S

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

A Blue-Blooded Valentine
I need you to understand what it's like to drive this car. I'm not talking about your ability to comprehend the words on this page or process the figures that surround the 2014 Porsche Cayman S, but rather what it feels like to take control of a car conceived, designed, engineered and manufactured to set your prefrontal cortex alight with all the glee a Zippo typically reserves for pine needles marinated in jet fuel. From the instant you put your tail in the driver's seat, the Cayman sets about impregnating your veins with a full and varied spectrum of ludicrous emotion. It's not like taking the family pickup to market, I can tell you that much.
For 2014, the next-generation Cayman features many of the same styling tweaks first displayed on the coupe's drop-top cousin, the Boxster, though a spate of mechanical changes, more power, less weight and better efficiency join the party to further differentiate this model from its predecessor. And while additions like rev-matched downshifts and electronic power steering help push the Cayman into a new era, one fact remains unchanged: This is one of the best driving cars on the market. Period. Bear with me and I'll try to explain exactly why that is.

Watch this Koenigsegg CCX hit 211 mph on a runway, outpacing McLaren's P1

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Vmax200 in in England organizes events where those who care to show up with a supercar can run them down the two-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Evo attended the latest event, bringing an impressively green Lamborghini Aventador to test its girth and gaping vents against other precious metals like the McLaren P1 and F1, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and enough 911 Turbos to start a dealership. Speaking of those Porsches, nine of the top ten slots in the top speed competition are claimed by modified 911 Turbos.
A monochrome Swede ruled them all, though, a black-and-white Koenigsegg CCX setting fire to the speed trap run after run, hitting 211 miles per hour at its quickest. It was followed by, surprise, a 911 GT2 modified by 9E that did 210 mph. You can watch the EVO video below, GT Spirit has a bigger breakdown of the day, and we've included another vid showing the tandem launch of the CCX and McLaren F1.
