Rare 1990 PORSCHE 944S2 Cabriolet NO RESERVE AUCTION! This is one of the rarest Porsche Convertibles built in the last 40 years (exception: Carrera GT) and an undisputed future collectible with excellent investment potential. A small Number of approximately 2,402 were brought to the US from 1989 until 1991. Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_944 . (This is why you never see them). The 3.0 Liter engine was the largest cylinder Porsche had ever designed and allows for a very high revolution (RPM) and Torque, yet allowing very good gas mileage (20-29 MPG.) Putting out an impressive 208 HP, this 16 valve double overhead cam normally aspirated engine has a top speed of 159 mph, Dual airbags, Rack and pinion steering, 5 speed rear mounted transmission to allow proper 50/50 weight distribution on all tires, LARGE 4 wheel ventilated BREMBO disc brakes, Alpine CD player and a sticker price of $55,000.00 in 1990! Always a southern California car with no rust, never in any accidents, it is in great running condition, and is in need of a nothing but a new owner. The good: 5 speed transmission with new clutch and torque tube installed by Dennis Sherman Independent Porsche in San Diego Californa in last 1500 miles. Black leather Interior, new Black top with new rear window. Strong motor with great compression, Cold AC recently serviced by Beck's Independent Porsche of Scottsdale Arizona, power windows, power door locks, Power steering, Good tires, good brakes (new rear break pads and E Brake pads), Drives perfectly straight down the road, All gauges work, intermitten wipers. electric trunk release. The bad: There is a small power steering leak (not bad enough to require immediate attention.) LED clock is broken. The center glove box plastic hinge is broken. (I purchased a new one, which is included, but the dealer gave me the wrong 944 glove box so maybe you can return for the correct one) The tachometer now works great but it was previously replaced with a professionally rebuilt display because the plastic gears had gone bad. see pic taken with car running. Everything works perfect now. (This is normal for the gears to need to be replaced at this age) There is a rip in the bottom of the driver seat. see pic. (Included in the sale is another leather seat to replace the portion with the rip) NADA Blue Book value on these cars (beings that only approx 2402 were ever brought to the US) is only $13000 to $19000. NO RESERVE AUCTION. You could own this Porsche for a lot less! ABOUT THE 1990 Porsche 944 S2 16Ventiler Cabriolet: In 1989 the 944 S2 16Ventiler was introduced, powered by a 211 PS (155 kW; 208 hp) normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0L version of the 944S engine. With a bore of 104 mm (4.1 in) and a stroke of 88 mm (3.5 in), it was the largest production 4-cylinder engine of its time. The 944S2 also received a revised transmission and gearing to better suit the 3.0-liter M44/41 powerplant. The 944S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the Turbo model. This was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the fender and hood profiles would merge smoothly with the bumper, a timeless design feature that has only now seen widespread adoption on the 1990 onward production cars. Performance was quoted as 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds (0–100 km/h 6.8 s), with a top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph) via manual transmission. In 1990 Porsche released the 944 S2 Cabriolet, a first for the 944 line which featured the cabriolet body built by ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg Germany. Porsche produced units for all markets including right-hand drive for the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. The 944r was raced around the world and in the British championship called the Porsche Motorsport Championship. To this day, the 944S2 is a very popular track car due to its perfectly Balanced Weight Distribution and Light Weight to Engine Horse Power ratio. Production was limited to three years; 1989, 1990 and 1991. Additional Information: If you are looking for a timeless car that is unique, rare, and rivals the spirit of Ferrari and Lamborghini of that year, this is it. Clean, Collectible, Convertible ....and hey, it's a Porsche! What more could you want in the way of a great weekend car or daily driver. This beautiful black 944S2 has been very well maintained and has all the right options to get you to your destinations in style and comfort.

Mechanically the car runs and drives as good as it looks. Powerful and smooth. Quiet. No leaks and no unusual noises. The clutch, transmission, and brakes all function perfectly. All the engine rubber hoses are in excellent shape and flexible. (no dry rot) The exhaust is stock and sounds good.

Excellent Factory Porsche 17 inch Turbo wheels which carry a wider stance and fill the wheel wells perfectly. There are no major dents, scratches, dings, or stone chips in the body. (there are however a few very small scratches and stone chips that are not noticeable.) This car has never been in an accident with the exception of a small dent in the quarter panel back in 1991. This was professionally repaired by the Porsche Dealer in Beverly Hills California. The underside is as clean as the topside of the car. No rust at all, anywhere. This car has never seen winter, road salt, rain! The convertible top is in excellent condition (paid $2,000.00). No wear and no tears. The back window is clear and perfect. The top is excellent and the tonneau cover is as new. The interior has the leather upholstery option. It is in almost perfect condition with exception of the driver seat having a rip in the bottom. see pic. The dash has no cracks or fading.(always stored indoors) All of the switches and warning lights, instruments and controls work as new. The rear seat has never been used. And the passenger seat has no noticeable wear. The driver's seat is missing a small trim cover at the outer hinge. It does not affect the performance of the seat in any way. The power seat bolsters work perfectly, and the sliders and recliners work as new. The car has an after-market Alpine AM/FM/CD player. The speakers are upgraded. No holes or modifications have been made to the interior at all. The heat and air conditioning systems work as they should. The cruise control, power windows, and door locks all work as great. I am selling the car with a full tank of ethanol-free 91 Octane gasoline and a fresh service. It is ready to drive anywhere in the continental US or Canada.

VW Group recalls 27k Touaregs, Audis and Porsches for fuel leak
Tue, Jan 27 2015The Volkswagen Group is one of the most expansive in the entire industry, and shares parts across more product lines than we could wrap our heads around. So when the German megalith finds a fault in one of its components, it has the capacity to spread like wildfire. The latest set of recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers vehicles from the Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche divisions. The problem revolves around the fuel injection system, which could potentially leak and cause a fire. The recall affects – deep breath now – the 2012 VW Touareg Hybrid, the 2011-12 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid and Panamera S Hybrid, 2011-12 Audi S4, S5 and Q7 and the 2012-13 Audi A7. All told, that amounts to 27,376 units, the owners of which can expect to hear from the manufacturer to have the fuel rails replaced, along with their corresponding seals (having nothing to do with marine mammals writing letters). RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System Fuel Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V019000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 26,008 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Audi S4, S5, Q7, 2012 Audi A6, Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, and 2012-2013 Audi A7 vehicles. In the affected vehicles the fuel injection system may experience a fuel leak. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak in the injection system in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails and corresponding seals, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 10, 2015. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834 or Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are 24AP for Audi customers and 24BK for Volkswagen customers. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. ### RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System may Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V016000 Component(s): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,368 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.
'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech
Wed, 07 Aug 2013No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.
