1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet Convertible Triple Black Excellent History on 2040-cars
Fallston, Maryland, United States

Up for Auction is a very nice 1990 Porsche S2 Cabriolet
Triple Black with 105,640 miles 3.0 liter 16 valve 4 cylinder, 5 speed ABS, Driver and Passenger Airbags Originally purchased at Len Stoler Porsche here in Baltimore in December of 1989. Traded in 2000 with 50,000 miles and resold at Valley Motors Porsche. I purchased the car from the second owner as a private sale in February of 2009 with 102,000 miles as a backup car for the family. I had a full service and review performed at that time and the car was deemed in excellent condition with no prior body damage. The front was repainted and disclosed by the dealer in 2000. The car was garage kept by both owners and I have extensive documentation on the car (which I am rummaging through files looking for.) The car passed the extensive Maryland inspection and emissions less than 4,000 miles ago in 2009. The timing belt was changed at 92,000 miles. I replaced all tires with Continentals in 2009 as well as a new top and replacement of the lower seat leather (getting stiff and stitching coming undone.) I have kept the car fully serviced and have had some minor electrical work done (fix fog lights and rewire stereo which previous aftermarket unit was drawing on the system.) Replaced the brakes in 2009. Car is serviced at least 2x a year by my mechanic and is only used in good weather. There is an Alpine head unit as shown in the pictures that has a USB input as well as Sirius receiver integrated and installed in the head unit. I replaced the windshield and repainted the front end after a branch fell and dented the passenger fender and cracked the windshield. All body panels are, to the best of my knowledge, original to the car. I did file an insurance claim at that time and will most likely show up in history. I have not checked to see. Work was done to a very high standard. Taken out of winter storage and driven 200 miles this past week. The car drives strong and has a solid clutch. Shifts very well. No leaks. I average 27-28 mpg in spirited driving Oil pressure is excellent and the temp gauge never passes the 1st quarter of the range. Air Conditioning works well Power top is fully functional and the original fitted boot is in the trunk. Cruise, Pwr Windows, Locks and Pwr Seat Height all work as they should. Dash has no cracks and Lloyd mats are in excellent condition. Only issues that I am aware of are the interior overhead light does not go on when the door is opened, the clock in the dash is broken (common problem), the struts for the trunk should be replaced as they are original and do not "pop up" when you press the electric release, which does work, however, the key works fine. There is some minor curb rash on the wheels and a couple of minor dings. This is a good driver quality car that has been very reliable and more practical than I every thought. My kids are now at an age where they don't fit in the back and would rather not be seen with Mom and Dad anyway so we are going to spend more time running my 280SL. If I could demand that a PPI inspection be done, I would, but I cannot. I do greatly encourage inspections. Please ask questions, I will do my best to get back to you. I will not answer questions about the reserve. Make me an offer if you like. Car is sold AS-IS WHERE-IS with no warranties expressed or implied. I am located a little north of Baltimore, MD. Shipping and pick up is the responsibility of buyer but I will do my very best to accommodate you. Deposit of $500 is due with in 24 hours of auction end. Balance my be received before title and car are released. Thanks for looking! |

Watch onboard video of the Porsche 918 Spyder's record 'Ring lap
Tue, 10 Sep 2013"Pics or it didn't happen!" You could almost hear the Internet shouting this when news started to trickle in about a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring lap by the new Porsche 918 Spyder. Well, after an official press release, which we ran earlier today, we have your "pics." Moving pics, to be more exact. Porsche has released on-board footage of the 6:57 lap.
The video, which runs about eight-and-a-half minutes, and shows the 918 from inside the car on a flying lap of the German track. Perhaps what's remarkable is just how undramatic it all looks. Sure, there's some sawing at the wheel from test driver Marc Lieb (one of three testers, including legendary rally king Walter Röhrl), but he makes wrangling the Martini-liveried 918 look kind of easy.
Take a look down below for the full, on-board video, and then click over and read our initial write-up from earlier this morning and take a glance at the more stylized video that Porsche originally posted.
Top Gear brings together LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918
Mon, Jan 26 2015Earlier this month, Top Gear released a brief video of the comparison test between three hybrid hypercars we'd all been waiting for: the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. The story was done by the print magazine and not by the television show, and the video they released was barely over half a minute long, reserving the full version for subscribers of the iPad edition. Now the British mag has put the full video on YouTube, and while it's still only a minute and a half long – three times the length of the previous teaser – it's packed with electrified exotic goodness. The test surely took some serious wrangling to put together, and though the metal (or carbon fiber, as the case may be) was apparently furnished mostly by private owners, to hear Top Gear tell it, the manufacturers – Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche – were eager and helpful in putting the showdown together. For the final conclusions, we're afraid you'll still have to buy the magazine, but for a rare chance to watch all these three world-beaters on the same road at the same time, you'll want to scope out this latest video clip.

2014 Porsche Panamera 4S Executive
Fri, 09 Aug 2013If the idea of a Porsche sedan (or, long hatchback) is still off-putting to you, then you might want to look away now. For 2014, the polarizing Panamera has received a midcycle refresh bringing slightly different styling, as well as adding two new models to the lineup, the S E-Hybrid and the stretched-wheelbase Executive. Having focused most of my recent trip to Germany on a First Drive of the intriguing plug-in Panamera, I also got to spend some time with the roomier Executive model.
Offered in both 4S and Turbo guise, the Panamera Executive has been stretched by almost six inches for the sole purpose of improving rear passenger space. Although it's hard to imagine anyone would willingly buy a Porsche and opt to sit in the back seat, I'd have to say that if I'm going to be chauffeured around in a car, why not make it a Porsche? For the most part, though, I'm guessing that many Panamera Executive sedans will be owned by people who want to one-up their buddy driving a stretched BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
