Porsche 944 Turbo S on 2040-cars
Glendale, California, United States
I am sad to see this car go as it has much sentimental value to me (drove off on my honeymoon with it, got me through 5 yrs of school, etc.) As such, I do not wish to see it taken apart and sold for parts. It has seen better days, but would be an excellent project car to restore or make a nice street/track car out of, or even to put an LS engine in.
The good:
Velvet Red 1989 turbo (which replaced the 944 turbo S and adopted the turbo S specs)
- adjustable Konis with adjustable spring perches in front to adjust ride height
- AOR trans with limited-slip differential and cooling loop
- 928S4 brakes and I added the factory 928 bias valve not normally found on this model
- new front and rear rotors, new Hawk HP+ pads front and rear
- 146,xxx miles on engine, but rebuilt head, H2O pump, belts, etc ~30k mi ago
- 968 rear hatch (stock one included)
- new front wheel bearings
- Weltmeister anti-sway bars
- KLA strut brace and cabin filters
- rebuilt throttle-body seals
- new throttle position sensor
- Vitesse chips
- Tial 38mm wastegate
- Siemens 55lb injectors (stock included)
- 3 bar fuel pressure regulator
- Bursch test pipe (stock included)
- SFR stage 1 stainless steel headers
- recent paint job
- newly rebuilt A-arms with aluminum bushings which will last a lifetime
- 968 caster blocks
- H4 euro spec headlights
- Accuboost manual boost controller with ceramic ball upgrade
- new battery
- fiberglass brake ducts which force air over the entire center rotor vent (with the splash shields removed)
- I also have large brake scoops to feed the ducts, but those are not installed
- factory Porsche European rear bumper with trim holes filled (makes the rear of the car look SOO much better)
- Car has multiple new seals (window scrapers, sunroof (and possibly door seals, but I can't remember now))
- Dash has only one very tiny crack starting at the rear corner of the passenger side airbag insert
The bad:
The car was running a few months ago, but I tried to start it yesterday and it would not start. The DME and fuel pump relays click, but I have not had time to troubleshoot it. I think the turbo is leaking oil, as shortly after startup, the crossover pipe smokes for a minute or two. I suspect that it will need to be rebuilt. The sunroof needs new gears installed (I will provide them with a box of extra parts I have for the car) It needs new wiring to the cooling fan ballast resistors, seats have tears, body shop left too much orange peel on hood, so I told them to respray it. They used a stripper which they must not have washed off all the way and/or repainted the hood in anger, so now the hood paint has peeled and needs to be resprayed. The exhaust stud nearest the firewall is stripped (thanks to the local Porsche shop monkeys) and will need to have a Time-sert or Helicoil installed. Tires are shot and current 18" wheels are curb-rashed and one has a bent lip. The left side blinker blinks fast and the airbag light needs to be reset. There are a couple scratches on the right rear fender, and the car needs foglights (see my other auction for factory European foglights). There is also some paint cracking on front bumper.

Are you the Porsche Pajun?
Mon, 17 Nov 2014The prospect of Porsche building a smaller version of the Panamera has been an on-again, off-again proposition as the German automaker seems to go back and forth on the project. Last we heard, Porsche had pushed back the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior) until 2019 at the earliest, but we could be looking at it right here.
The automaker's everything-but-automotive division Porsche Design is working on a luxury condo complex called (simply enough) Porsche Design Tower. It's been three years in the making and will take at least another year or two to complete, but the gist of it is that the 57-floor building will include 132 apartments, each with its own en-suite garage in which the residents' cars will be parked thanks to giant elevators.
Porsche Design released a series of renderings showing what the property will look like once complete. Most of the renderings feature Porsches, of course - production models you can find in any of the brand's showrooms, like the one just 23 miles away in Coral Gables. But one of the renderings of the giant glass elevators shows something rather unusual.
Porsche Pajun to go all-electric as Tesla rival
Wed, Jan 28 2015Porsche has been rumored to be working on a smaller counterpart to the Panamera for nearly four years now, but we have yet to see any sign of the model dubbed Pajun coming to fruition beyond a digital rendering hidden in the background of another Porsche design. Apparently Stuttgart has been having trouble making the business case in an already crowded market segment. But that doesn't mean the project is completely off the table. According to the latest from Germany's own Auto Motor und Sport, Porsche is now planning to launch the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior just like the Macan project was previously called Cajun) purely as an electric vehicle. With an eye evidently fixed on how dedicated hybrids and EVs are gaining traction in the marketplace (to say nothing of actual tarmac), the electric Pajun - almost certain to carry a different name to the showroom – would be different enough to distinguish itself from existing four-doors of that size like the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, et al. Word has it that Porsche believes that battery technologies will advance enough over the next four years to give its four-door EV a range of nearly 250 miles on a single charge. The model's arrival would be just the latest in a series of environmental concessions made by the company with the broadest range of plug-in hybrids on the market. Aside from the E-Hybrid versions of the Panamera and Cayenne, Porsche arguably led the charge (so to speak) towards hybrid hypercars with the 918 Spyder, is downsizing many of its engines and is turbocharging almost the entirety of the 911 range.
Porsche says turbo'd 911 engines will still be revvy
Wed, Apr 15 2015Porsche fans really, really don't like change. Remember when the 911 moved away from air-cooled engines? Now, as the company prepares to move the vast majority of the 911 line away from naturally aspirated powerplants, one of the brand's highest ranking officials is speaking out to prevent a similar outcry. Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, the head of powertrain development for the Volkswagen Group and a board member of the VW brand, told Car that turbocharging won't take away from the rev-happy nature of Porsche's current engines. "Turbocharging is possible with higher revs – it's not true to say that turbocharged engines must stop at 6000rpm," Neusser told Car at the 2015 New York Auto Show. "That's not true... If you look at McLaren, they already have in production turbo engines with high revs." With turbocharged engines, Nuesser explains, there's no need to go for a super high redline, because engineers are trying to spread the torque over the entire rev range. "It makes no sense to go to 10,000 rpm with a turbocharged engine," Neusser told Car. The other big concern that comes with the switch to turbocharging focuses on the 911's iconic flat-six exhaust note. Maintaining the car's well-known acoustic character shouldn't be an issue, Neusser said. "Noise is not a problem," adding that the Volkswagen Group knows a thing or two about building sweet-sounding turbos. "Look at the 911 Turbo; it has an extremely expressive noise today – that is not a problem. At the other end of the scale, the Golf R has it too," Neusser told Car. "You won't miss character with turbos, I promise." According to Car, the new turbocharged engines will arrive later this year at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, as part of the current 911's facelift.
