1986 Porsche 944 Turbo on 2040-cars
Whitehall, Pennsylvania, United States
This is your chance to own a true classic. It's the first year for the 944 Turbo. This is an unmolested car with the correct Porsche phone dial wheels in great shape. The car has been my daily driver since the snow has stopped falling in the Northeast and it is a pleasure to drive. The clutch and the transmission function properly along with the heat and defrost. All power options function, i.e. windows, sunroof, etc. without any leaking. A/C compressor comes on, but it is still too cold to tell how cold it blows. Alpine A/M, F/M, CD player works well along with the front and back Kenwood speakers.
The car has Porsche brake calipers on all four corners. This car is a true driver. There are minor paint blemishes on the top of the passenger side front fender and a door ding on the driver's side door (see pictures). Interior is in great shape, especially for a car from 1986. There are no rips and only minor wear on the seats. The dash has a few small cracks near the vents as all 944's do. The car just underwent a full belt service along with pulleys. At that time, the water pump was inspected and appears to be recently replaced. So the timing belt was replaced even though the old one looked relatively new. The tires have 95% tread. The car is being offered at no reserve, so bid to own. PPI's are welcome and encouraged. All in all, a great car for daily driving or even track use. There are not many 944 Turbos out there that have not been chipped or abused. As you can see in the pictures, the sunroof cover and tool kit come with the car. I did not have this car detailed to hide any imperfections. Looks as though there was an insert in-between the tail lights that has been removed and license plate holes on rear bumper are filled in. Currently has antique plates and is titled in Pennsylvania. Call Sam at 484-375-5667 with any questions or specific pictures you may want. In closing, I have owned Porsche's for over 20 years and I can say you will not find one in this shape at a no reserve auction. This car is sold as is, where is, with no warranty express or implied. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 Porsche 928 convertible by Carelli
Wed, 30 Apr 2014The Porsche 928 was perhaps the consummate European GT of its day. With a powerful front-mounted V8 engine that grew in displacement as the model years went on, it was capable of eating up the miles at triple-digit speeds in great comfort for occupants. It was also an unusual beauty, with its sharp front and curved rear featuring innovative integrated bumpers.
Currently for auction on eBay Motors is one of the rarest 928s you're likely to find, in a handsome combination of Guards Red paint and tan leather interior, though we wouldn't mind a less-showy finish to the factory wheels. According to the seller, this car is one of eight 928 convertibles by Carelli Design, a firm that's still in business.
The auction claims that these cars were made in 1981 as a feasibility study between Carelli and Porsche for a possible production 928 convertible. The seller says he worked at the dealership where the car is said to have been originally sold $103,000. To remove the roof and hide the convertible top, there were significant changes made to the body and interior, including redesigned doors and a completely new trunk. As you can see in the gallery, when down, the top is completely hidden in a very factory-like fashion. When up, it looks slightly awkward, though (and we'd really like to see a rear three-quarter view to check out the blind spots).
Modded budget Mazda Miata takes on new Porsche Boxster in more challenges
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Earlier this month, our friends across the pond at Auto Express released the first in a two-video series that would see them try and build up a second-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata that could best a standard Porsche Boxster around the track. While that first video detailed the mods to the MX-5 - a supercharger, some suspension upgrades and a new set of super-sticky rubber being chief among them - and set baseline lap times for the stock car, today, we have the results of the 5,000-pound ($8,200) upgrade job.
Of course, we aren't going to spoil those for you. You'll need to watch the full video, which recaps the upgrades before digging into a comparison of both straight-line-speed differences between the 2.7-liter Porsche Boxster and blown Miata, as well as their behavior and lap times on the track.

Matthias Muller officially named VW Group CEO
Fri, Sep 25 2015While the vast number of rumors made it seem like a foregone conclusion, Porsche boss Matthias Muller has officially been named Volkswagen Group CEO to replace the recently resigned Martin Winterkorn. His contract runs through the end of February 2020, and until a replacement is found, Muller also gets to hang onto his old job as chairman of Porsche. At the same time, the VW Group Supervisory Board is announcing a massive structural reorganization across the entire company, with the new management model in place by the beginning of 2016. Contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. The board wants a greater emphasis on brands and regions going forward, and the scale of this shift can be seen in the US. On November 1, VW Group business in the US, Mexico, and Canada is being combined under the leadership of current Skoda chairman Winfried Vahland. However contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. Other brands are also seeing some significant changes mechanically. Porsche, Bentley, and Bugatti now fall under the Group's "sportscar and mid-engine toolkit." This means that the brands will start sharing standardized technical parts. A Chief Technical Officer across all of the company's brands will also start working toward future innovations. The new brand-centric view means the end of a group-wide production department. "Going forward, the brands and regions will also have greater independence with regard to production. So it follows that they should also hold the responsibility for these activities," Berthold Huber, interim Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said in the announcement. In a statement with the press release about his promotion, Muller promised to turn the company around after such an international crisis. He said: "My most urgent task is to win back trust for the Volkswagen Group – by leaving no stone unturned and with maximum transparency, as well as drawing the right conclusions from the current situation. Under my leadership, Volkswagen will do everything it can to develop and implement the most stringent compliance and governance standards in our industry." Matthias Muller appointed CEO of the Volkswagen Group Muller remains Chairman of Porsche AG until a successor has been found Matthias Muller (62) has been appointed CEO of Volkswagen AG with immediate effect.
