928gts W 23k Actual Miles And In Show Condition! on 2040-cars

This Porsche 928 GTS is among the finest in the country, and is rare. There were only 139 made in 1994, with the first 20 being of the 1993 specs, and the last 119 made with the highest level of technology ever produced for the line. There were only 77 made in the final year of production, making my car one of the last 200 made of Porsche's first 8 cylinder super car. I have an independent appraisal made two years ago when I bought this investment, which depicts the car to likely appreciate in value by 5% per year if kept in the same fine condition.
This GTS is highly original except for maintenance items. Only the stereo has been changed from the factory presentation. Now, I have a Blaupunkt Toronto BT, with MP3 and USB compatibility in addition to Bluetooth. There is a 12" woofer and a huge amp in the hatchback area which is shielded by the hatch cover. I have the original carpet and padding, and the cargo net to go with her, but not shown in the pics. The original tan floor mats are not shown and go with, and have some signs of wear. The battery is new with a trickle charger set up, installed for storage. The paint is in extraordinary condition. I know there are some, but I find no sign of chips when I wax her, so a great job of cover up was done. This car has not been damaged and the paint is original. The Michelin Pilot Sports are all new with about 1500 miles on them. All services are up to date, including the timing belt and water pump service. This car needs absolutely zero service, as I have made sure all fluids and services have been performed so I could drive her with confidence. There are no leaks. The AC is strong and the exhaust sounds truly terrific. It softly roars, more than any other Porsche Ive driven. The original tools are there but it looks like one slot is empty. The original tire and changing tools are also there as original. The oil pressure is very high and she does not ever over heat. I've had 19 Porsches and acknowledge this one to be well above average. I am selling due to my advancing age and lack of time to drive several vehicles. If I can qualify you as a serious buyer, I can provide references and the independent appraisal mentioned above. However, I recommend that you also have the car appraised or qualified before buying. Let me, John, know of your questions by email to Rx4jp@aol.com. Last comment. I've had manual transmission and AT 928s. These cars are so powerful and well geared, that you would seldom get to use more than two gears on US roads. With the Automatic, you get ease of touring even in traffic, plus a frightening 'stomp-down' when you open her up. I honestly believe the AT makes the car seem faster. It is certainly more accommodating. Good luck in your search. These are fantastic cars. |

Our hats are off to Porsche's 2014 911 Turbo Cabriolets
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Porsche has just debuted its two latest decapitated rocket sleds today at the LA Auto Show, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet, which share their coupe counterparts' 520-horsepower and 560-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engines. That kind of power ought separate a lot of hats (and toupees!) from heads.
The rear-engined Porsches put their power down through all four wheels, which allows them to launch from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds or less (the Turbo S Cab takes just 3.1 seconds), and both of them top out at 195 mph.
The 911 Turbo Cabriolet starts at $160,700, while the Turbo S Cabriolet can be had for a grand total of $193,900 (plus $950 for destination). Is the S model's 40 extra horsepower worth $33,200? We're not so sure, but we imagine Porsche won't have any trouble selling it.
Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
The 2014 Ruf RCT offers rear-drive action with 911 Turbo fun
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Ruf has 37 years of experience of turning Porsches into even higher performance machines. For the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it's unveiling the RCT, or Ruf Carrera Turbo, which offers power to split the difference between Porsche's 911 Turbo and Turbo S models.
The RCT starts with a unique body kit with a new front air dam and drastically changed rear deck that combines both a small spoiler and air intake. Power is provided by a twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter flat-six with 525 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque paired to either a seven-speed manual or seven-speed dual clutch transmission. That gives the Ruf a 5-hp and 15-lb-ft advantage over Porsche's own Turbo but is still less powerful than the full Turbo S. The RCT sprints to 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and to a top speed of 196 mph.
However, the Ruf's big advantage is that it offers buyers the choice of either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while Stuttgart's turbo models are only available spinning all four wheels. The RCT can also offers upgrades like an integrated roll cage and custom suspension packages, should the buyer be so inclined to splash out on racing kit.
