1976 Porsche Euro Turbo Carrera on 2040-cars
Year:1976
Mileage:33650
Location:
Butler, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1976 Euro Porsche Turbo Carrera . This is the first official production year for the turbocharged 911, and is the most sought after. This is a project car, and will need a restoration but it is a very complete, solid running early 3.0 non intercooled turbo. This is the real deal.
The car has not been on the road in several years now. It does still run, and drive but will need an engine overhaul due to several broken head studs. This is how we acquired the car. It starts fairly easily, has normal oil pressure, normal amount of smoke at startup, and no unusual noises. I have not driven it in years, but I remember it running fairly strong, and pulling hard under boost. The transmission engages all gears. but I remember it needing some synchro work going into 3rd. The body is 99% rust free, there is a small spot on the drivers door sill, a very small bubble by the lower left windshield area, and a small bubble on one of the doors, other than that, very clean. See pictures. The paint shows well, but needs some attention .There is some shrinkage in a few areas, this is also shown in the pictures. The interior is complete and decent, but shows wear as you would expect on a 38 year old car . The car still retains its original drivetrain, and is sitting on its original 15x8 & 15X7 fuchs wheels, which are n nice shape. The tires are very old, and need replaced. It still retains its original aluminum calipers . There is minor body damage to the rear reflector, and the panel behind it, again , very minor. The one euro bumperette is broken off, but included (needs stud repair) . This car has the super rare and desire able euro back up light, and bumper trim with reflectors in it. The window trim is the brushed metal finish, which I believe is the rarest, and very nice looking on this car. All the glass is original , and in good shape. The only missing/incorrect items that I know of are : The car has a tea tray turbo tail of the later cars, and not the correct early turbo tail, and the original plastic air cleaner housing is missing. I will include a metal air cleaner housing from a later turbo. This is a rare chance to own one of the most sought after Porsche cars out there right now. The first official production year for the 911 turbo, and icon. There were less than 600 of these cars produced, and who knows how many are left. |

Watch onboard video of the Porsche 918 Spyder's record 'Ring lap
Tue, 10 Sep 2013"Pics or it didn't happen!" You could almost hear the Internet shouting this when news started to trickle in about a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring lap by the new Porsche 918 Spyder. Well, after an official press release, which we ran earlier today, we have your "pics." Moving pics, to be more exact. Porsche has released on-board footage of the 6:57 lap.
The video, which runs about eight-and-a-half minutes, and shows the 918 from inside the car on a flying lap of the German track. Perhaps what's remarkable is just how undramatic it all looks. Sure, there's some sawing at the wheel from test driver Marc Lieb (one of three testers, including legendary rally king Walter Röhrl), but he makes wrangling the Martini-liveried 918 look kind of easy.
Take a look down below for the full, on-board video, and then click over and read our initial write-up from earlier this morning and take a glance at the more stylized video that Porsche originally posted.
Best compact SUVs of 2022
Thu, Oct 20 2022Compact SUVs are now the go-to choice for family transportation. Actually, considering how popular they are, they have clearly moved beyond only family duty. With such popularity, though, comes an awful lot of competitors, and it can be difficult to figure out which one might be the best compact SUV for you. It's important to note that by "compact SUV" we're talking about a specific segment. As we describe in our more comprehensive "Best small SUVs" list, there are also subcompact SUVs that vary widely in size amongst themselves, but are clearly smaller than the SUVs below. Frankly, today's segment of compact SUVs isn't exactly compact — some have more cargo space than vehicles that are considered midsize based on their exterior dimensions. They've all grown considerably over the years. While many lists out there just rattle off every vehicle available in a segment, we thought we'd be a bit more helpful and curate your shopping a bit with the top-recommended choices reviewed by Autoblog. We've included both mainstream and compact luxury SUV choices. Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024 2024 Honda CR-V Why it stands out: Best-in-class space; excellent hybrid powertrain; sharp interior style; Honda dependabilityCould be better: No lower-price base trim levels; no sporty or off-road niche models; no plug-in hybrid Read our full 2024 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search, and look extra closely at the superb CR-V Hybrid option. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, strong-yet-efficient engines, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, and well-regarded reliability. It's easy to see why it continues to be such a best-seller: for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it checks every box. That's been the case for many years now, however. The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V changes things up by adding a bit more style and character, particularly in terms of its interior design and how surprisingly enjoyable the Sport and Sport Touring hybrid trim levels are to drive.
Porsche recalls new 911 models over exhaust pipe issues
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Porsche, though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, announced a voluntary recall on about 2,200 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models built during the 2012 and 2013 model years. On cars equipped with the standard exhaust system it was found that the tailpipes could separate from the mufflers and become dangerous road debris; models that added the optional sport exhaust system are not included in this recall.
Affected vehicles were built between March and November of last year, but there have been no reports of the problem on any customer-owned vehicles. Porsche first noticed a cracked tailpipe weld on a test vehicle back in May, and since then has found similar problems on other internally owned vehicles, all with more than 25,000 miles on the clock. To fix the problem, dealers will be replacing the mufflers. Scroll down to read the official notice.
