Color:

San Jose, California, United States
All original, no excuses, car. In 1986, the legendary 930 Turbo returned to North America, after being absent since the 1979 model year. As such, this is an NA car, not a gray market car. And what better expression of 1980s excellence in cars is there? White gold exterior with gray green leather, carpet, and gray flannel cloth inserts. Factory option center painted Fuchs with colored crest caps. Sports seats L/R, heated seats L/R. Very unique color combination, not the common black/back, Guards red/tan or silver/black. The collector's market has been placing a premium on unique colorways in recent years. I am the third owner. The second owner held the car for 23 years and sold it to me when he retired and left southern California. Car comes with the original window sticker (from when it was sold as a used vehicle in 1990 to the prior owner by Carlson Porsche in Palo Alto for $55,300), a recently issued Porsche Certificate of Authenticity (to me), partially stamped service book, all manuals, etc. At 101,667, the car had a full engine rebuild by Andial Road and Racing in Santa Ana, arguably the most famous and respected Porsche tuning and service/racing shop in California (Porsche has since bought them). Car also had front and rear rotors and pads and a bunch of misc stuff. Total bill in excess of $22K. This was done by the prior owner. Since I got the car: At 104,498, the car had a major service at Lucient Technology, where it got new Bridgestone tires, all fluids and filters changed, fuel accumulator replaced, ignition replaced, AC converted to R34, axle boots, battery, and a number of misc trim details fixed at a cost of $6,972.50. The full carpet set was replaced with a custom ordered Belgian reproduction (Lakewell Classic Car interiors), just like OEM. The interior was cleaned and detailed, rubber seals were replaced, and a worn seat area was replaced, over $3,800 invested. The wheels were refinished and areas severely stone chipped were re-shot and tiny tiny parking lot dings were repaired ($3,400). Steering wheel was 100% restored to stock and is in a box. A vintage period correct Momo Prototipo was installed ($1,500 for both). Car does not only show very well, it drives even better. I have polished every issue out of the car mechanically, etc., yet, it's still a "driver" car and can (and should) be used and enjoyed as designed. If you look hard enough, you'll find a small stain on the rear passenger seat, a stone chip or two, a place where the flat black might be re-shot, broken dust door on the OEM cassette deck, but you have to REALLY look for them. To me, it's the perfect outcome of original (there is patina, the car appears "balanced" in appearance and age inside and outside and under the hood) and restored with a light and careful touch, but backed with a significant investment in polish and work. The high milage is more than offset with the re-fresh of the car, the rebuilt engine, the brakes. ALL work has less than 4K miles on it. All my work has less than 1K miles on it. Car is stored in a hanger and driven in the dry on weekends and weeknights. SoCal car since 1990. Passed Smog and has certificate. This is the real deal. Not modded (except window tint), no excuses or stories or questions on condition. Some of the best in their field have had their hands on this car's recent work. Anyone following the air-cooled Porsche market knows these cars are on fire. Compared to a pre-'74 911 S, or a 2.7 Carrera, they continue to be the best performance/exclusivity/cost value in the eco-system.

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S
Wed, 04 Sep 2013A Wicked-Fast Street Legal Multi-Tool
Walter Röhrl was carving up the circuit in the Porsche 911 Turbo S like a skilled Jedi Master - and I was sitting next to him, mesmerized by the breathtaking show. I had strapped myself securely into the front passenger bucket of the all-new coupe less than a minute earlier, expecting nothing more than a few quick laps around a track at the hands of another celebrated race driver. Been there, done that. Many times, actually.
Yet this was different. Röhrl was not only calculated and methodical in his approach, but his rally-tuned cerebrum appeared to be actively reading available grip levels while effortlessly tossing the all-wheel-drive Porsche into each corner at gut-wrenching speeds. His hands were moving rapidly, sending tiny steering corrections to the front tires, and he was using every inch of the track to extract more speed. We launched over a curb, dropped a wheel in the dirt and then drifted around a wide off-camber turn. His human precision and focus was astounding, and the performance he was extracting from the machine was just short of breathtaking.
Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties
Wed, 14 May 2014These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.
Porsche 911 going all-turbo this year save for GT3 and GT3 RS
Fri, Jan 23 2015The coming Porsche 911 GT3 RS will represent another high-water mark for the brand, and another milestone. Its 500-or-so horsepower and extreme aero are predicted to lop more than five seconds off the 7:20 Nurburgring lap time of the current GT3, making it "comfortably less" than 7:20. Beyond that, its naturally-aspirated 3.8-liter will form the basis of the turbocharged engines going into the standard range of 911s later this year as 2016 models. That's right – if you're looking for a sub-GT3 911 that gulps its air without compressed assistance, then you've only got a few months to get a new one into your garage. Emissions regulations are the reason, of course, with Porsche's R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz saying that, "Every new model will have lower CO2 than before," and "if you look at euro per g/km, then it's turbo." We don't know what the engine lineup will look like, however; a few months ago Car reported that the base 911 would get a smaller-displacement version of the engine, while the S would stick with 3.8-liter displacement and jump to 520 horsepower, which is the same as the current Turbo. After that, Hatz said, "at the end of the decade electrification has to be the next huge step." That means a hybrid 911 is being cooked up somewhere. Yet even as the brand leaps into the new, there's a chance it could dip a toe back into the old: the 911 GT3 RS will launch with a PDK, but Hatz's team is considering adding the option of a seven-speed manual. Elsewhere in the range, the Cayman GT4 is being engineered by Porsche Motorsport as an entry-level racer, with more power than the current Cayman GTS to go with some serious weight loss. They are also developing a track-only model for privateers. The standard Boxster and Cayman will get turbocharged flat-four engines, but there'll be a sporty Boxster that also loses weight and gets more power than the 325-hp Boxster GTS. And that mid-level supercar that's been floating in the ether for years and supposedly sent to purgatory again just last November? It's on the way by 2020 "at the latest," and will use a version of the new V8 that will eventually go into the Cayenne and Panamera.
