1989 Porsche 951 (944 Turbo) in very good condition. 113K miles. Runs great. I have owned it for the last 19 years and never raced it. I'm the 3rd owner, and the car has always been in California

All original except for the following and regular maintenance items:
1. Computer chips replaced with AutoThority chips to increase engine power. This was done prior to my purchasing the car 19 years ago. I have the original chips and will include them.
2. Blaupunkt cassette/radio replaced with Blaupunkt CD/radio. I have the original and will include it.

Major Mechanical Repairs:
1. The only one I can think of is the clutch, which has been replaced twice.

Collision Damage:
1. A truck backed into the drivers side while the vehicle was parked which damaged the door and front fender. Both were repaired and repainted.

Major Defects:
1. The drivers seat has a tear and is worn. This is shown in one of the photographs.
2. The air conditioner does not work. However, I believe that it is mechanically fine and needs to have the Freon recharged. Because this has the original air conditioning system, it uses R12 with has been phased out. I chose to not recharge it some number of years ago because of the high price and the good weather here in northern California.

Minor Defects:
1. The speaker in the driver's door stops working every once in a while. There is an intermittent connection somewhere, but I have not been able to find it.

Included Extras:
1. Saratoga glass top. The top works fine but is in need of repainting the aluminum trim, and replacing the weather stripping. This is shown in the photographs.
2. Useable mats. These are shown in one of the photos.
3. All maintenance records.
4. Original computer chips and cassette/radio (see above).

Maintenance is up-to-date except for the timing belt, which is now due for replacement. All maintenance and mechanical repairs have been done by a well regarded independent Porsche shop, CT Automotive.

1989 was the last year that the 944 Turbo was available in the U.S., and the 1989 model was the fastest. It had many upgrades over the previous years. These are explained in the photo of a sales brochure.

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

I don't care who you are; when a new Porsche 911 rolls up in your driveway, that's a pretty good day. This was my very first experience with Porsche's 991 911, and after having spent time with just about every tune and trim of the last car, I was hotly anticipating comparing and contrasting.
Somehow (I don't remember sending out any cash-filled, unmarked envelopes) I'd scored a week in the 911 Carrera 4S over a long holiday weekend, too. That meant that I'd get to A) log a ton of miles in one of the best cars in the world, B) get to show-off the Porsche to family and friends and C) tempt cops in three states to pull me over. Good thing I've got the Autoblog traffic lawyer on speed dial...

Jaguar Land Rover seeks to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, VW SUVs

Fri, Nov 20 2020

You wouldn’t know it was about Jags and Lambos, to judge by its rather dry name: In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems. But thatÂ’s the complaintÂ Jaguar Land Rover Automotive PlcÂ filed on Thursday to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi and Volkswagen sport utility vehicles it says are using its patented Terrain Response technology without permission. Jaguar Land Rover, a British carmaker owned by IndiaÂ’sÂ Tata Motors Ltd.,Â said in its filing with the U.S.Â International Trade CommissionÂ that the technology helps negotiate a Â“broad range of surfacesÂ” and is a key feature in JaguarÂ’s F-Pace and Land Rover Discovery vehicles. Â“JLR seeks to protect itself and itsÂ United States operations from companies that have injected infringing products into the U.S. market that incorporate, without any license from JLR, technology developed by JLR and protected by its patent,Â” JaguarÂ’s lawyer, Matthew Moore, said in the filing. Representatives of Volkswagen didnÂ’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment on the complaint. Jaguar wants to block imports of PorscheÂ’s Cayenne; LamborghiniÂ’s Urus; AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad and e-tron vehicles; and VWÂ’s Tiguan vehicles. It said there are plenty of other luxury midsize SUV and compact crossover vehicles to meet consumer demand if the SUVs are banned from the U.S. Still, the premium Porsche and Audi lines provide much of the profit VW is using to fund itsÂ investmentsÂ in technology for electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles and further innovations. In addition to the four brands,Â Volkswagen GroupÂ owns other upscale nameplates, including Bentley and Bugatti. The International Trade Commission is an independent, quasi-judicial agency that investigates complaints of unfair trade practices, like patent infringement. It canÂ’t award damages but does have the power to block products from entering the U.S. Owners of patents and trade secrets like it because it can work faster than the federal district courts -- the typical investigation is completed in 15 to 18 months. But Jaguar also filed patent lawsuits against the companies in federal courts in Delaware and New Jersey, seeking cash compensation for the use of the technology. Those cases are likely to be put on hold once the trade commission launches its investigation. The case is In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems, 337-3508, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington).

Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach package does 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

Porsche marketers are having a field day with the 918 Spyder after some last-minute tuning improved the car's performance. They now say that it's so fast it's already beaten itself. Let us explain: Using a Weissach package-equipped 918 as an example (which reduces the plug-in hybrid supercar's weight through the deletion of some interior items, more generous use of carbon fiber and magnesium wheels), the car's previous official 0-62 miles-per-hour time of 2.8 seconds has been cut to 2.6. Additionally, 0-124 mph takes 7.2 seconds and 0-186 mph is dispatched in 19.9 seconds, times that were reduced by half a second and 2.1 seconds, respectively.
In all-electric mode, a non-Weissach pack 918 does 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds (with the package, 6.1 seconds), down from 6.9 seconds. Efficiency is also improved thanks to the final tuning. The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) rating of a Weissach pack-equipped car equates to 94 miles per gallon, up three mpg compared to before. That's pretty good for a car with 887 horsepower!
Check out the press release below for more details on how Porsche's final tuning measures improved its flagship supercar.
