1978 Porsche 930 Turbo
VIN 9308800170 The VIN matches in the window and in the front trunk. I checked the engine code and serial # and I believe they match with the 1978 MY. California model This is the perfect weekend driver. The car is only driven on nice days, stored inside. It always runs and runs strong. No pulling or coughing. Hardly a rattle either. Brakes are amazing. It’s used mostly for dinners and running around town. I’ve taken in on 300 mile weekend trips with no issue. Repairs and upgrades: From the past owner: The original owner back dated the car to the early 70s style exhaust headers so there are no cats. I've got receipts for head studs, carrara chain tensioner, new clutch, ss oil lines, new bilsteins all around. Lots of other minor stuff too. Front seats are newly redone with Porsche leather. All done around 5k miles ago. Has an adjustable Porsche waste gate, set at 1 bar. New modern headlight from Pelican (still look stock to my eyes). Re-wired the fuel pump and stereo circuits to take the load off the fuse bar (very important). Added a new RarlyL8 straight-through muffler. I have a custom car cover. Performance: With the higher boost and straight through exhaust the car is a rocket. The sound is louder than stock, but is very nice. Car runs straight and true. Everything is very tight. 3rd gear acceleration on the freeway is ridiculous. Issues I know of: Re-spray of factory white There are a couple small marks on the panel under the door near the jack hole where I’ve had to touch up with paint stick. I noticed a small amount of rash on one of the wheels. The AC is non operational. Needs a new compressor at minimum. I removed the belt. Heating system works, but is simplified on/off. I don’t have the manual, but I do have one from 1979 that came with it. I don’t have the original tool kit or receipts from before 2000. Some trim/weatherstrip pieces are not quite centered properly The interior is very good condition, but shows some wear. If you intend to drive your car then what's the point of buying a $200K show condition 930? This is the happy medium; great looking, great running and priced in the middle of the pack. |

Porsche Cayenne shows a bit more face, plug-in spotted
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Porsche was first rumored to be working on a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Cayenne over a year ago. However, we had never seen it, until now. The new model was caught almost completely undisguised while testing. In another stroke of luck, we got a glimpse of the upcoming facelift for Porsche's SUV (pictured above) as well.
According to the spy shooter, it was windy during the cars' cold weather testing. The cover blew off of the facelifted Cayenne, and there was enough time to snap these pictures before it could be hidden again. The changes are all quite minor but jive with what we saw the last time it was spied. The rear still wears some cladding but is expected to be hiding lights similar to the Macan.
The second gallery shows off the upcoming Cayenne PHEV. It looks nearly identical to the standard model, except for the extra panel on the driver's side of the car that hides the electric port. One image even shows the car plugged in. The new version is expected to use the same supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 9.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack with a combined 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque from the Panamera S E-Hybrid. We enjoyed the system when we tested it last year. It's rumored to debut on the SUV sometime this year.

Porsche rolls out new 919 Hybrid at racing gala
Mon, 16 Dec 2013That Porsche is returning to Le Mans next year with a top-tier LMP1 entry is no news - we've known that for some time. We've even seen pictures of the car in question undergoing testing at various racetracks across Europe, been told who'll be driving it and given some basic parameters of what will make it go. We just haven't known what to call it, but now we do.
In detailing its full endurance racing program for next year at its Night of Champions in Weissach, Porsche has revealed that its new LMP1 racecar will be called the 919 Hybrid. So, something like the 918 Spyder, only one faster. With a four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors, the 919 Hybrid will be taking on the top class at Le Mans next year, with a compelling roster of drivers on the docket: along with Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani, Porsche has assigned its works driver Marc Lieb and F1 test driver Brendon Hartley to the effort. But that's not all Porsche has in store.
The factory is also supporting teams that will campaign the 911 RSR in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as the United SportsCar Championship here in the US, taking Porsche off the pit wall and right in the race seat for next year as part of a comprehensive new racing program, details of which you can read in the press release below.
