I LOOKED FOR A LONG TIME TO FIND A WELL-MAINTAINED, UNDAMAGED, LOW MILEAGE 944 S2 CABRIOLET, AND IF YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING, YOU KNOW HOW HARD THEY ARE TO FIND. THIS IS A STUNNING 46,675 MILE CAR AND IS ALL ORIGINAL WITH NO MODIFICATIONS. GUARDS RED EXTERIOR WITH BLACK LEATHER, BLACK TOP AND NEAR NEW TIRES ON FACTORY 16" S2 ALLOYS. CAR RUNS, DRIVES, LOOKS OUTSTANDING.

--EXTERIOR-

GUARDS RED FINISH IS EXCELLENT. THE SURFACE IS STRAIGHT WITH NO DOOR DINGS AND SHINES VERY WELL, AS YOU'D EXPECT OF A GARAGED CAR (MANY CLEAR COATS OF THE DAY OXIDIZED AND BECAME HAZY; THIS PAINT LOOKS FABULOUS). THE REAR TAG PANEL HAD SCRATCHES WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR AND I HAD IT PROFESSIONALLY MATCHED AND PAINTED, ALONG WITH THE SMALL, ALWAYS FADED PLASTIC REAR FENDER CAPS.

THE PAINT IN THE DOOR JAMBS, UNDER THE HOOD, AND OTHER "NON-VIEWED" PLACES STILL LOOKS EXCELLENT. THE DOORS, HOOD AND TRUNK SHUT WITH AUTHORITY AND ALL GAPS ARE UNIFORM AND PROPER.

--INTERIOR-

THE BLACK INTERIOR IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION, NOTING THE MILES AND CARE GIVEN THE CAR. THE DOOR PANELS ARE UNCUT AND PRISTINE, AS IS THE CARPET. THE DASH HAS NO CRACKS, NOR DOES THE CONSOLE. THE REAR SEATS APPEAR AS NEW.

THE SWITCHGEAR WORKS GREAT. AIR CONDITIONING BLOWS COLD; POWER SEATS, WINDOWS, MIRRORS, LOCKS AND CRUISE ALL WORK AS DESIGNED. THIS 944 EVEN HAS HEATED SEATS! THERE ARE NO FAULTS KNOWN REGARDING THE OPERATION OF THIS CAR'S ELECTRONICS, EVEN THE CLOCK WORKS! ALSO, THE CAR HAS IT'S ORIGINAL AM/FM CASSETTE PALYER, ALONG WITH THE OPTIONAL AMP AND EQUALIZER.

THE ORIGINAL, UNUSED INFLATABLE SPARE IS PRESENT, AS IS THE PORSCHE AIR PUMP AND ALL ORIGINAL TRUNK ACCESSORIES (TOOLS, PLASTIC GLOVES, ETC).

--ENGINE, DRIVETRAIN-

THE CAR STARTS WITH THE FIRST TWIST OF THE KEY, SETTLES INTO AN EASY IDLE, AND HOLDS EXCELLENT PRESSURE. IT PULLS STRONG AND SHIFTS CRISPLY, WITHOUT THE SLOPPINESS OF HIGHER MILE CARS. THIS CAR IS STEADY AND STABLE AT ANY SPEED.

STEERING AND CLUTCH FEEL FANTASTIC WITH NO SHUDDER; IT BRAKES WITH NO PULLING OR FADING. HONESTLY, THE CAR DRIVES JUST LIKE YOU'D HOPE A LOW MILEAGE WELL-MAINTAINED PORSCHE WOULD.

ADDITIONALLY, A FULL BELT SERVICE(TIMING, ETC.), ALONG WITH WATER PUMP REPLACEMENT, WAS PERFORMED WITHIN THE LAST 350 MILES.

--OVERALL-

THIS 944 IS SUPER RELIABLE, FAST ENOUGH FOR MOST ANY STREET DRIVER, CAPABLE, PLUS GET FANTASTIC FUEL ECONOMY. THE TOPS SEAL AS WELL AS A COUPE, AND THESE CARS ARE HANDLERS. I'VE OWNED LOTS OF SPORTS CARS, BUT THE S2 IS A LEAGUE AHEAD IN CONFIDENT, NO DRAMA PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING.

THIS CAR IS AS NICE AN EXAMPLE AS I HAVE SEEN; I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE, HAS AMPLE TRUNK SPACE, AND IS SERVICED FOR ROAD WORTHINESS. FLY IN AND DRIVE IT HOME!....BEST WISHES IN YOUR BIDDING.

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.

Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing

Thu, 09 May 2013

In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.

Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

In the buildup to the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi delivered an amusing video that worked on the playful rivalry between the German brand and its favorite frenemy, Porsche. We called it sibling rivalry, and at the time, it may have been just that. But just like sibling rivalries, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that's just what seems to be about to happen in the formerly peaceful Volkswagen Group family.
A new report from Automobile calls out the growing animosity between Porsche, who is backed up by Bentley, and Audi, whose primary ally is Lamborghini. No blows have actually been thrown, although there is a fair amount of "he said, she said" going on.
As Porsche tells it, for example, the new global fullsize SUV architecture being developed by Audi isn't up to snuff, citing size and structure issues, as well as an inability to accommodate a wide variety of engines.
