1987 Porsche 944S twin cam, 5spd coupe. This car is in real nice shape both in and out. Body is completely solid with no past or present rust or accident damage, and has been garage kept for most of its years. Doors, hood, power sunroof, hatch, all operate properly. Glass is all perfect, as well as door/window/power roof/hatch seals. Silver paint in nice condition, with few chips/scratches, hood was repainted due to sun fading, and has a couple very minor flaws, but overall car paint is very good. Power mirror, door locks, trim all in nice shape. Burgundy "sport" interior really nice, with no rips/tears. Carpeting, door panels, headliner, dash all real good shape, with only very small cracks between the defroster opening that are not very noticeable. rear hatch area carpeting also nice, and car comes with factory hatch area shade to block sun. Original matching color enclosure bag for removable sunroof is included, as well as original, never used "space saver" tire and Porsche tire compressor kit. Everything works on car, such as horn/blinkers/flipup lights/ac/power seats/power sunroof/power seats/radio/gauges/locks, etc. Engine, 5spd transmission, clutch, brakes, power steering, and all mechanicals operate smoothly as they should, and are in excellent shape. Engine very recently had new belts/head/battery/oil cooler reseal/coolant flush and new coolant/oil &filter, etc, and is fully serviced. Wheels are factory 16" "phone dial" pattern. Tires have 4-5000 miles left in them, but will need to be replaced before/after that. This is a two adult owner car that has been well cared for, and it shows. Car looks and drives very straight and tight, with no noises or surprises. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. If you are in the market for a vintage Porsche 944, then you should really check out this factory twin cam 944S, which has 30 more horsepower over the standard 944, without all the turbo headaches.

Editors’ Picks July 2022 | Volvo XC60, 911 GT3 and a hot Hyundai
Tue, Aug 16 2022This latest rendition of Editors’ Picks sees us recognize some enthusiast-focused vehicles on both sides of the price spectrum and a luxury SUV. The 911 GT3 was an easy shoo-in, but the Hyundai Elantra N is what surprised us the most. WeÂ’re sad to see the Veloster N bow out after this year, but at least the N model in its place is a worthy one. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in July that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 Volvo XC60 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge View 36 Photos Quick take: The Volvo XC60 is one of our favorite luxury crossovers, and the PHEV option is a killer setup. We dig the interior design, and the exterior is attractively Swedish, too. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Genesis GV70, Jaguar F-Pace, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, Audi Q5, Lexus NX, Acura RDX, Volvo XC60, Lincoln Corsair, Infiniti QX50, Porsche Macan Pros: Great design, epic PHEV option, intriguing interior design options Cons: Tech can be cumbersome, big wheels lead to a stiff ride From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "When it comes to plug-in hybrids, there's no better compact crossover option than the XC60 Recharge. I really dig the extra-powerful electric motor and larger battery Volvo added this year. The interior wool option is my pick of the bunch, but I am a little disappointed that there aren't as many physical buttons throughout the interior as there were before." News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "Although it's got some age, the Volvo XC60 is still an excellent premium SUV. It's as handsome as ever with its clean, modern design inside and out, and feels genuinely luxurious. But what really sets the XC60 apart is its available plug-in hybrid powertrain. It's smooth and refined, and best of all, it's still great in electric mode.
Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
