Unbelievable 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

One of the nicest driver 951's available in the country.


 This is a rare unmolested Porsche 944 Turbo. It was removed covered from the corner of a garage in Columbus Ohio last year and has since undergone countless hours and thousands of dollars in mechanical and cosmetic restoration. It currently has just over 90k miles on it but it occasionally goes to shows and whatnot so it may rise. It has never been crashed and has its ORIGINAL paint.  It has had only 3 owners.

Ancillary systems on this car have been restored or rebuilt to the point that there isn't a single button, knob, dial or gauge that doesn't work properly. It has been converted to 134a (per the factory Porsche procedure) and the air conditioning blows ice cold. The cruise, sunroof, lights, heaters, blowers and bells all work perfectly. All maintenance type items such fluids and oils, timing belts, battery and water pump have been replaced in the last 2000 miles. It has the rare and desirable factory 5R limited slip 5 speed transaxle. The suspension is "Koni Yellow" and brand new.

The only modifications to this car are Autothority Stage 2 chips and a $3000 Billy Boat header back stainless exhaust system which makes the car sound fantastic. I have the factory Blaupunkt radio that works but the modern Parrot radio that is in there now has Bluetooth streaming and sounds much better.  No wiring was cut or damaged to install the Parrot, and it can come out in a few minutes for shows. I also have the original chips for the engine DME.

As a Porsche aficionado, perfectionist, club member and capable mechanic, I have personally restored and dealt with every major and minor issue with this car myself. Things that "go wrong" with 944 turbos have been updated or restored to make them more reliable and/or function better while maintaining absolute faith to the factory original appearance and parts. To give you some idea of the level of restoration this car has undergone, I have receipts for more than $8000 spent on it in the last 5000 miles. The cleanliness of this car is shown in the pictures. It is not only clean on top, it is clean underneath and in the wheel wells. I keep it garaged and at a show level detail at all times.

This is the last of the truly original 951's out there and is your chance to buy a rapidly appreciating (per Haggerty price guide) but reliable and fast old Porsche.

Please see my feedback and HAPPY BIDDING!

Porsche patent sketches show removable headrest wind deflector

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

While driving around in a convertible might seem glamorous, ask anyone with long hair and they'll likely tell you how it really is: the wind buffets, your hair goes everywhere and it's anything but glamorous. That's why you see so many convertibles driving with their tops up, their windows up or wind deflectors in place. But Porsche is apparently preparing to kick it up to the next level.
These patent drawings have leaked out, demonstrating what appears to be some new kind of wind-deflecting device being developed by Porsche. The mechanism is apparently fitted to the headrest itself and designed to keep the wind buffeting specifically around the head down to a minimum while allowing the car's occupants to enjoy the top-down driving experience.
No word on when it might hit the market, but we won't be surprised to see this kind of device appear on a future version of the Boxster or 911 Cabriolet. But nowhere else: despite the apparent leak, the patent drawings suggest that Porsche will be keeping this technology proprietary. Whether sister brands like Volkswagen, Bentley or Lamborghini will get their hands on it remains to be seen.

Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach package does 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

Porsche marketers are having a field day with the 918 Spyder after some last-minute tuning improved the car's performance. They now say that it's so fast it's already beaten itself. Let us explain: Using a Weissach package-equipped 918 as an example (which reduces the plug-in hybrid supercar's weight through the deletion of some interior items, more generous use of carbon fiber and magnesium wheels), the car's previous official 0-62 miles-per-hour time of 2.8 seconds has been cut to 2.6. Additionally, 0-124 mph takes 7.2 seconds and 0-186 mph is dispatched in 19.9 seconds, times that were reduced by half a second and 2.1 seconds, respectively.
In all-electric mode, a non-Weissach pack 918 does 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds (with the package, 6.1 seconds), down from 6.9 seconds. Efficiency is also improved thanks to the final tuning. The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) rating of a Weissach pack-equipped car equates to 94 miles per gallon, up three mpg compared to before. That's pretty good for a car with 887 horsepower!
Check out the press release below for more details on how Porsche's final tuning measures improved its flagship supercar.

2015 Porsche Cayenne S Quick Spin

Mon, May 11 2015

There are sporty SUVs, but until the Macan came along, the Porsche Cayenne was arguably the only pure definition of a 'sports SUV, a la sports car. The second-generation Cayenne is now five years old, but still looks fresh. It's handsome without obvious effort, especially with the optional 21-inch 911 Turbo wheels. The Cayenne S replaces the old, 400-horsepower, 4.8-liter V8 with the brand-new, Porsche-developed 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6. This engine is quickly proliferating through the range – it powers the current Panamera S and the Macan Turbo. That former 4.8-liter started life as a 4.5-liter with 350 horsepower way back in 2002, specifically developed for the Cayenne, and to the end it remained a potent engine. We tried the new forced-induction V6 with 420 hp earlier this year in the Panamera S, and other than a soggy exhaust note it maintained the character of the former V8 sport sedan, with lusty power and hasty delivery. So, how's it do in the Cayenne? Driving Notes The Cayenne S version of the TT V6 gets 420 hp and 406 pound-feet of torque. That means there's 37 more lb-ft than the previous V8, and 22 more lb-ft than in the new Panamera S. Yet the 607-pound difference in curb weight between the Panamera and Cayenne means the V6 has a heavier load to lift here. And it shows – the instant response is dulled. Stomping the right foot gets the eight-speed transmission rappelling through gears to provide a little kick, but real gumption doesn't come until the turbos kick in. We're maybe talking about a second of pause compared to the Panamera, but a noticeable second. Perhaps a small price to pay for slightly better fuel economy, if you really care about such in your 420-hp SUV. Part of why we notice that second is that the Cayenne S is so right-now everywhere else that any perceived hesitation gets extra attention. It offers a specific adjustability that many sports cars don't have, with one button adjusting the three-mode air suspension and a separate Sport button tweaking the steering, throttle, gear changes, and traction control. With Sport keeping all the horses at the ready and the optional Porsche Torque Vectoring holding things steady, you don't need to step up to the GTS trim to get immediate acceleration, crisp steering, flat cornering at very un-SUV-like speeds, and tremendous stopping power from a total of 20 brake pistons. That said, the exhaust note here could also use a shot of Bruce Banner's gamma rays.
