1991 Porsche 944 S2 Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Cottage Grove, Minnesota, United States
|
For sale is a very presentable '944 S2 that has been my summer daily driver for the past several years. Not a concours show car, but a useable car to be proud of. 1991 was the final year of 944 production. The S2 engine option is about 35% more powerful than a NA version. 510 S2s were imported into the U.S. in 1991. This particular car had an MSRP of $45459. The Titanium Metallic paint was a $765 option. Included with the car is the original jack & handle, original air pump in the original case, the first aid kit, original plastic gloves, the complete original tool kit in its case, the owners manual & warranty book in its leather binder, the original window sticker, the original never-mounted space-saver spare tire/wheel, the original cargo cover & sunroof case, a fitted car cover and a service manual CD. I believe everything on the car (A/C, heater, power seats, windows, locks, sunroof,alarm, mirrors etc. work, but the cruise control sometimes takes a few tries before it engages. Once engaged, it functions properly. The car has had regular oil changes (Mobil 1) and the timing and balance belts were changed at 135K. Cosmetically, the car is good to excellent. No flaws are obvious in a walk-around. I think it's far better than a 20 footer. The interior shows good carpet with Porsche floormats, but the drivers seat bottom has a small tear in an inconspicuous place (near the seat back) and a small seam separation. The dash shows a few small cracks, but no separations. Though not a show car, this car is much too nice to become a track car and is a very pleasant driver. Delivery will be the buyer's responsibility, but if one chooses to fly & drive I will be happy to make a pick up at the Mpls/St. Paul airport. Please contact me with questions and bid high & often.

Porsche announces works team for United Sportscar Championship
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
Meet Buster, this 1968 Porsche racecar transporter from Mercedes
Thu, Dec 11 2014If you're thinking about Porsche and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to motorsports, your first thought is probably on the two German brands battling on the track. However, for decades, whenever Porsche's factory team went to compete, a custom Mercedes was right along with them hauling the racecars. These days the truck lives in the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, FL, and goes by the nickname Buster. However, its story goes back to 1968 when Porsche ordered two commercial vehicles from Mercedes and then handed them over to a Stuttgart-based outfitter for customization. The results were these racing transporters that hauled models like the 917 and 956 until the '80s. The other survived, too, with a place in Porsche's collection. Well-known racers in their own right, Brumos scooped up the transporter in 2003 and have kept driving it to vintage racing events. The interior now boasts the signatures of many of the great drivers from the era of this historic truck. Watch the video for the whole story on the Mercedes with a whole lot of Porsche inside.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
