1987 Porsche 944 Turbo Coupe 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Rochester, Michigan, United States
|
I bought the car about 10 years ago and after a few years I
decided to upgrade the motor to increase the horsepower. Below is a partial list
of performance upgrades. It now has around 380 hp and can run at 20lbs boost
with 100 octane gas or 17 with standard premium. In case you are wondering what
it’s capable of, the car does better than 175 mph. Many of the parts were purchased
from Lindsey Racing, they are extremely knowledgeable in Porsche cars. http://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Parts/944.html I have never spent the time to upgrade anything on the
interior. The dashboard is cracked the driver’s seat has a tear on it as well.
The back seats are practically immaculate. There is absolutely no rust on this
car. The only issues with the car are the antilock brake light is
on and the readout for the air fuel ratio isn't working. This can still be
adjusted with a laptop through the Mafterburner software if needed. The airbag light is
on but it has been on since I owed the car, the guy I bought it from said he
disconnected the switch because of his son being in the car with him. Small drip from where the oil dipstick goes into engine block, must need an o-ring. I just bought my dream car a month ago so now I have 3 cars
and the Porsche has to go. This car is mechanically solid and corners awesome but with bad road conditions its a bit much to be a
daily driver in my opinion. Easily $8000 in upgrades but my loss is your gain, I just want it gone.

Watch Porsche's 918 Spyder break a sweat while hot weather testing
Wed, 19 Jun 2013With five months left until the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder enters production, Porsche engineers are still putting the hybrid sports coupe through a battery of last-minute tests. To give us new reasons to ogle over the car - as if we needed any more - Porsche has released a short video showing the 918 Spyder undergoing shakedown tests in the hot Nevada desert. And you can't drive through Nevada without visiting Vegas, too, right?
Although there's really nothing new to see in this video, it's still fun to watch as Porsche approaches one million test miles logged on this exciting new high-performance model. One interesting part (at around the 0:37 mark) shows the car taking off under electric power and then transitioning to engine power, which results in a mix of whirs and growls as the 918 Spyder switches from a 127-horsepower electric vehicle to an 887-hp hybrid supercar. Scroll down to watch - and hear - Porsche's latest creation in motion.
Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
Porsche CEO hints at Macan GTS, expects brand sales growth to 200K+
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Porsche is expecting big things from its little Macan, with CEO Matthias Mueller announcing that not only is a sportier GTS model being considered, but that the CUV will almost certainly help push Porsche beyond its 200,000-unit-per-year sales goal three years earlier than expected.
"We're transferring the genes of the Porsche brand into a new market segment," Mueller said during a speech to kick off Macan production, according to Automotive News Europe. Macan demand should push the brand past 200,000 sales, Mueller said, confirming what we reported back in August. And if Porsche really has a hit on its hands, it is able to boost production of the sporty crossover beyond its initial capacity of 50,000 units, according to the brand's CEO.
Provided that the Macan is the success Porsche hopes it will be, Mueller hinted that the range could expand beyond the initial Macan S and Macan Turbo. "GTS versions have a tradition at Porsche," Mueller said. "We haven't made a final decision yet regarding the Macan, but I'm sure it makes a lot of sense."
