1994 Porsche 968 on 2040-cars
Summit, Mississippi, United States
Feel free to email: kermitkllauricella@chelseafans.net .
1994 Porsche 968 coupe I bought from original owner who bought it at a dealership in mobile Alabama on 6/30/93 and
has been in Mississippi since day one.
Grand Prix white with cashmere interior
All original has Porsche radio and cd changer that work great . Has complete Porsche tool kit, red spare, and air
pump. 2 sets of keys, manuals .
Cold AC
Runs great , smooth, shifts well, stops great
New tires, Less than 50 miles of a set of Michelin pilot sport as/3 s
Just changed oil with Valvoline VR1 20w50, and a maule air filter and oil filter. And used lubro moly jectron in
the tank.
Like I previously stated I bought this car from the original owner , he had just periodically driven over the
years. I drove it back to my home about 50 miles away and it ran flawlessly. Upon getting it home I changed the
oil, filters and put a new set of michelins pilot sports on it ( the old tires were date coded 2004 and looked
brand new even had the nipples intact)and had it detailed out. The reason I'm selling is a S65 AMG is now available
that I've been trying to get my hands on, and need garage space. If the 968 doesn't sell no big deal I'll keep and
let the value continue to climb. I've taking a lot of pics and pics of the very few issues with the car, I m not
going to hide anything. I'll list a few things the car either needs or what I would do if I keep it.
Future needs:
Sunroof goes up with the switch but when you re attach you have to manually tighten it back down. I looked it up
and it's a common problem and I think the tensioners need adjusting.
The timing belt ( have paperwork) was done 5/7/07 at the dealer at 45k miles, An fit has been driven very little
since that time.
The cup rims do have curb rash , I would get a wheel refinisher to repaint and smooth out the rim lip.
The driver seat minus the bolster is in good shape , does have a hint of patina. Still looks and sits well just
maybe something to consider having the bolster area repaired.
The last issue is the odometer quit ( speedometer works fine) on me, I've read this is a common problem with these
plastic gears loosing teeth and I've looked them up and they are about $25 bucks and a few hours worth of work.
The PO had the clutch replaced, battery , brake master. Cylinder and booster all done in 2013 from an independent
mechanic in the area he moved to, just wanted to note.
Also I'd like to add that I think I have the car priced well in order take care of theses issues.
The car cranks, runs, shifts extremely well and the body is straight with no big dents or scratches. Still presents
very well! Also just want to note that I've owned 911's, 928 GT, 912 and this is by far the best handling and most
fun Porsche I've driven/owned!

Porsche updates 919 Hybrid racer for 2015 season
Sun, Jan 18 2015Porsche's grand return to the elite level of global endurance racing showed mixed success in its first year. The company did score one victory in the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship season during the race in Brazil but finished in third place overall among the three factory manufacturers. Porsche is hoping for a few more wins in 2015 and is releasing its first shots of the updated car to achieve those triumphs when things kick off in April. The team's racer is still called the 919 Hybrid, but Porsche promises this second-generation version is a "comprehensive evolution" compared to last year. The most obvious change is the redesigned front end where the styling now features a simple horizontal intake running across the front (compare to 2014, below). The nose area also now flares out to the windshield. The side grows a more complicated look, though, with a series of fins just behind the driver compartment. Porsche isn't divulging many details about anything different under the skin. The 2015 919 is still propelled by a 2.0-liter turbocharged V4, and an electric motor powers the front wheels. There are also two energy recovery systems. In addition to the previous challengers from Audi and Toyota, Porsche has one more competitor in the factory ranks this season. The Nissan GT-R LM Nismo is rumored to be a radical departure from the rest of the field with an engine possibly located in front of the driver. Read the German brand's very brief release about the updated 919 Hybrid below and click through the gallery to see how it looks. Track debut for 2015 Porsche 919 Hybrid Stuttgart. Extensive testing with the second generation of Porsche's Le Mans prototype will begin on January 18, on Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit. As scheduled, this marks the start of the 2015 motorsport season for the Porsche Team. The new Porsche 919 Hybrid has already had its roll-out on the Weissach test track. As a next step, there will be several performance and endurance tests before the WEC season opener on April 12 in Silverstone, Great Britain. The new Porsche 919 Hybrid is a comprehensive evolution of the successful car that made its debut in 2014. It will feature the same innovative drivetrain concept consisting of a 2-litre V4 turbocharged petrol engine, an electric motor powering the front wheels, and two energy recovery systems. The new generation car had its first roll-out on December 15, 2014.
2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS looks even better in the flesh [w/video]
Wed, Mar 4 2015You should never, ever, ever buy a new Porsche 911 GT3 when it first comes out. That's not to say it's somehow bad. It's just that the debut of a new GT3 is, almost without fail, followed by a GT3 RS. GT3: good. GT3 RS: better. This is the latest hot 911, and it comes out shooting with a 4.0-liter flat-six, complete with 500 horsepower and 338 pound-feet of torque. As we explained earlier this morning, sitting behind the wheel of the GT3 RS means 60 miles per hour is just 3.1 seconds away. That is, frankly, a hilariously fast time for a rear-drive, naturally aspirated vehicle with just 500 hp. Consider the new Ferrari 488 GTB, if you will – it has an extra 160 horsepower, (probably) two turbochargers and two more cylinders, and it's only a tenth of a second faster to 62 than the Porsche is to 60. Any Porsche worth its salt will be as rapid in the corners as it is on the straights, and the GT3 RS is no different. It managed to trim five seconds off the standard GT3's Nurburgring time, thanks in part to Porsche's dedication to weight reduction. It's down 22 pounds on the standard car, thanks to magnesium and carbon fiber components. On top of that, Porsche pushed the aerodynamics with a track-ready rear wing and a fairly substantial front splitter. Of course, you know all of this, because we covered it this morning. Still, it seemed worth recapping as we delivered our very own, live-from-Geneva photos of the 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Take a look. Related Video: Porsche 911 GT3 RS: the Ultimate 911 for High-Performance Drivers Atlanta. The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS breaks down the barrier between road-going sports cars and race cars. It is equipped with the maximum amount of motorsport technology that is currently possible in a street-legal 911 suitable for everyday driving. Extensive modifications to its drivetrain, aerodynamics, and lightweight design take performance to an even higher level than the 911 GT3. With a Nuerburgring Nordschleife lap time of seven minutes and 20 seconds, the new 911 GT3 RS surpasses the 911 GT3 by five seconds, making it the fastest current generation 911 on the famous German racetrack. The 911 GT3 RS is celebrating its world premiere at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show. Motorsport expertise is the driving force behind this superior performance. The 911 GT3 RS is powered by a four-liter six-cylinder engine developing 500 hp and 338 lb.-ft. of torque, combined with a specially developed PDK transmission.
First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum
Wed, 29 Jan 2014About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.
