1979 Porsche 930
"One Family Owned, 100% Fully Documented and Original Paint – 15,624 Miles!"Call Jeff at 616-881-2429 Forever Alter Your Standard of Performance ~ It was the year 1973 when Porsche unveiled its soon to be produced 911 Carrera Turbo to the public at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The wider body and curvaceous hips were similar to the newly introduced Carrera RS 3.0, but the badging along with the aggressive rear spoiler made it clear that Porsche was introducing a completely new animal. The introduction of the Turbo would develop yet another Porsche tradition. Simply known as the Turbo, the car was released in the spring of 1975 and with great anticipation and much fanfare introduced to the US market in 1976. When introduced, the car featured a 3.0 liter turbocharged flat six producing 0-60 times in under 5 seconds. In 1978, Porsche upgraded the engine to 3.3 liters and added an intercooler boosting the performance to 300 hp and top speeds at 165 mph making it the fastest car available for the US market. No other car of that time captured the attention of the automotive press and not enough could be written of the brutal performance and the sheer beauty that the car had to offer. The one family owned, 1979 Porsche 930 Turbo offered here is nothing less than astonishing. The car was purchased new from Jess Jones Porsche Audi of West New York, NJ, where the original owner paid a 15000.00 dollar premium over the MSRP to get his hands on this super car. With standard appointments such as: all leather interior, alloy wheels, fog lights, intermittent wipers, power mirrors, power windows, fog lights, quartz clock, air conditioning, automatic heat control, 4 wheel ventilated disc brakes, reclining seats etc. these cars came highly optioned standard. This 930 was also ordered with desirable limited slip differential, heated outside mirrors and electric sliding roof. The car remained in the caring hands of the original owner until his passing in 2002 where ownership transferred to his grandson where the same care and appreciation for the car continued. Today at just 15624 documented miles, the car remains outstanding original. With the exception of an upgraded stereo and upgraded headlights (originals included), the car remains in 100 percent excellent original and unmolested condition. The original Black paint remains excellent as does the original black all leather interior including the dash. Every square inch of this vehicle demonstrates the care it has received for the last 35 years of ownership. Mechanically the car remains extremely fit retaining its spirited 3.3 liter turbo charged engine mated to its original smooth shifting 4 speed gearbox all harnesses by Porsche's Rack and Pinion Steering and 4 wheel ventilated disc brakes. The documentation is exceptional including original order form, original bill of sale, original window sticker, finance contract, life insurance papers for the loan, all original books with portfolio, original stationary portfolio, all paperwork from day one, original and complete tool roll, original key card with original keys, owner history, research material regarding the original purchase of the vehicle and added bonuses of vintage articles by car and driver, road and track, and playboy reviewing the 930. The mileage is fully documented by service records, state inspections, and registrations. Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-11nevKcmw&rel=0 Powered by Dealer Accelerate.

The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet
Tue, Oct 2 2018The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.
Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell
Wed, 24 Apr 2013You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
