This auction is for one 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet. In 1990 Porsche only produced 3938 of these Cabriolet’s for the year. This car is just one of 1824 produced for the US market. With production numbers this low, this car is destined to be a collector’s item in the very near future. The 944 Cabriolet body was built for Porsche by ASC, American Sunroof Company in Weinberg Germany, a first for the 944 line.

 

This 944 with its low 82K original miles has a long list of recent upgrades and mechanical fixes including, a full tune up, new shocks, brakes and rotors, alternator, starter, exhaust, K&N filter and timing belt check. New door panels are included with the sale.

 

The convertible top is brand new. The top is now manually operated rather than electrically.  This is pretty common for these cars because of the size of the roof, it literally can be open and closed in seconds with just your fingertips. The roof could be made to work electrically again with new cables.

 

The car runs drives and shifts without any problems and drives like a proper 944. There is evidence of a prior accident under the hood on the diver’s side frame rail. Although minor, this is what is causing the front bumper to be out of alignment. It has no affect on the drivability of the car. Apparently this is why the car now has a salvaged title. Rhode Island doesn’t issue titles to vehicles over 10 years old so I was not aware of this issue.

 

They say “a picture tells a thousand words”, so follow the link below to see over 60 photos and a few videos of this 944.

This Porsche 944 will be sold with a bill of sale. Rhode Island doesn’t issue titles to vehicles over 10 years old, so check your local laws before bidding. Bidders with zero or negative feedback must email before bidding.

 

The car can be test driven to serious local bidders, just email for an appointment. Any questions, just email me. Thanks.

2014 Porsche Cayman S

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

A Blue-Blooded Valentine
I need you to understand what it's like to drive this car. I'm not talking about your ability to comprehend the words on this page or process the figures that surround the 2014 Porsche Cayman S, but rather what it feels like to take control of a car conceived, designed, engineered and manufactured to set your prefrontal cortex alight with all the glee a Zippo typically reserves for pine needles marinated in jet fuel. From the instant you put your tail in the driver's seat, the Cayman sets about impregnating your veins with a full and varied spectrum of ludicrous emotion. It's not like taking the family pickup to market, I can tell you that much.
For 2014, the next-generation Cayman features many of the same styling tweaks first displayed on the coupe's drop-top cousin, the Boxster, though a spate of mechanical changes, more power, less weight and better efficiency join the party to further differentiate this model from its predecessor. And while additions like rev-matched downshifts and electronic power steering help push the Cayman into a new era, one fact remains unchanged: This is one of the best driving cars on the market. Period. Bear with me and I'll try to explain exactly why that is.

2015 Porsche 918 Spyder: Touring the factory

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Willy Wonka granted just five lucky Golden Ticket holders access to his incredible chocolate factory, yet we consider ourselves just as fortunate, as Porsche invited us to be among the first of just four American journalists to see behind the closed doors of its 918 Spyder assembly plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany. Of course, there were no Oompa Loompas or flowing chocolate rivers, but the vast white hall tasked with producing only 918 examples of the automaker's limited-production flagship revealed details that make Wonka's Golden Egg sorting room seem rather mundane in comparison. Unlike a traditional automobile manufacturing plant, which often encompass all processes of making a vehicle (e.g., stamping steel panels, welding components and painting), the 918 Spyder is built in an assembly plant. This means that hundreds of already manufactured parts, each crafted by Porsche offsite suppliers, are brought under one roof to be assembled into a perfectly finished product that is much sweeter – and far more expensive – than any candy delicacy. Our tour guide was Michael Drolshagen, Porsche's Director of Production, Logistics and Quality - a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the engineering and assembly of the 918 Spyder. Drolshagen generously offered us unrestricted access to walk among the factory's 110 workers – and a couple-dozen vehicles in process – to photograph everything. This is a story best told with pictures, so we've put together a raft of our best images in a high-resolution gallery and captioned each with a detailed description. If you've still got questions, please voice them in Comments section and we'll do our best to answer.

Top Gear teases Porsche 918 vs McLaren P1 vs LaFerrari showdown

Mon, Jan 5 2015

It's the comparison test we've been waiting over a year to come together: the hybrid hypercar showdown of the century between the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari. They've each got hybrid powertrains pairing eight or more cylinders with an electric motor to drive around 900 horsepower through seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions. They come from exotic automakers with rich racing pedigrees, and each costs around a million bucks. Leave it to the guys from Top Gear, then, to finally put it together. The story adorns the cover of this month's issue of Top Gear magazine, which arranged the showdown – not the television program that started it all. Fortunately, they didn't miss the opportunity to capture the action on video, which will be available to iPad subscribers – but whether you've got access or not, you can catch a short clip of the seven-figure hybrid hypercars right here.
