1995 Porsche 968 Limited Edition For Final Year Of Production on 2040-cars
Cuba, New York, United States
For more details email me at: karleenpittillo@juno.com .
This 1995 Porsche 968 Coupe has the most desirable six-speed transmission, along with less than 34,000 careful
original miles. There is a Porsche plaque on the passenger dash designating this to be a "Limited Edition Coupe,
120/258". As one of the last 968s made, this is an especially collectible example. The designation provides for a
few extras, including an upgraded stereo, metallic black paint, limited slip and gray leather. You can see this
plaque in the photos, as well as a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity which validates the breeding of this
vehicle. It is an original, unaltered (except for the radio) example of an exceptionally strong perfoming sports
car.
This has been my 18th Porsche of various types. The 968 is the pinnacle of the 924,944,951 lineage, but was
only produced for four years ending in 1995, and only utilizing 20% of the 944 parts in common. The 236 hp four
cylinder power plant produces 225 foot pounds, which is as much power at the standard 911 up until 1989. It rocks!
Zero to sixty is under six seconds along with an old school EU exhaust rumble. 50/50 weight distribution and
limited slip differential produces actually better handling than the 911 (and I love 911s too).
The condition of this car is impeccable. Clean carfax with no accident history. I've owned her for five or
six years and bought her from the past president of the Polish Porsche Club whom lived in CA. Prior to CA the car
resided in New Mexico. I think driven by a physician whom lived on a gravel driveway. The car is in show
condition with only very minor defects, namely stone chip repairs and a small cut in the seat (photo shows). One
chip is about the size of a dime and poorly repaired. It was covered up by a bra that I will send with the car but
didn't use myself. The seat cut is about an inch long, is superficial, and has not grown in five years.
EVERYTHING else concerning the car condition and maintenance status is excellent. Including the recent timing belt
and water pump service. She is an eye catcher and could easily be shown as is. It was recently chosen for the
cover of the regional Porsche Club magazine. The Blaupunkt Toronto CD that is installed will come with the
original cassette. Newer Michelin Pilot Sports over very, very nice cup wheels that are accurate and original.
Fully serviced and everything works like new.
There are no disappointments here. If you want the best, this is among a very few of the finest at the top of
the marque. With care, it should be a pleasing investment over time with a favorable return. I have obsessive
records for my ownership, and some from before. I'm very pleased to show the car to your inspector. I am
expecting to sell her to a collector whom recognizes the appeal to this rare type of Porsche, and welcome your
questions.

Porsche 991 vs. 930 Flatnose in 911 Turbo convertible faceoff
Tue, 15 Jul 2014The Porsche 911 Turbo has a legacy of being a tough car to drive. With a ton of power set right over the rear wheels, its reputation is to lose control as soon as the driver stops concentrating. However, this isn't quite so true anymore. The modern ones are tamed through technology with things like hydraulically controlled engine mounts, not to mention all-wheel drive. In its latest video, Autocar tries to decide whether 25 years of progress really makes the turbo a better vehicle.
It's summer, so what better version to compare than the 911 Turbo Cabriolet? In one corner, Autocar has the latest and greatest 2014 version pumping out 513 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Its challenger is a 1989 911 flatnose convertible sporting 326 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque. It's a truly rare car in the UK with only eight of them remaining on the roads in that region.
Granted, this test isn't so much a battle as it is a comparison. There's no question that the modern 911 would beat the classic in practically every objective category. What the video aims to find out is whether the flatnose is better in subjective measurements like its "feel." Scroll down to watch these two droptop Porsches square off.
Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Koenigsegg Lego sets coming this summer
Sun, May 5 2024Lego has announced a slew of new automotive-themed sets. As is typical fashion for brand of building toys, the subject matter leans toward ultra-exotic, ultra-expensive vehicles, ranging from a $139,000 Mercedes SL63 on the low end to a $3 million Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut on the high end. If you can't afford those cars in real life, soon you'll be able to build your own plastic models of them. Some of the real-world counterparts aren't obtainable no matter what the cost. Take the Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo, for example. The one-off concept was designed by Lamborghini exclusively for Gran Turismo, the PlayStation racing simulator. However, Lamborghini did build a 1:1 version for the physical world, with the 808-horsepoewer hybrid V12 from the Sian FKP 37 beneath its bodywork. The Lego version is part of the company's Speed Champions line, which measure about 6 inches long. It does an excellent job of capturing the original's insectoid look and Y-shaped taillights. The set is made up of 230 pieces and will retail for $26.99. This is Lego's first Vision Gran Turismo car but we hope to see more. Also joining the Speed Champions line are two 2-car sets. An Aston Martin-themed set pairs a Vantage safety car with an AMR23 Formula 1 racer. Both are finished in AMR's bright green with actual sponsor logos. The set contains 564 pieces and will cost $44.99. Also arriving as a 2-car set are a pair of Mercedes-AMGs. A black G 63 and yellow SL 63 Roadster, along with a pair of sunglasses-clad bros, make up the 808-piece set. It also retails for $44.99. All three Speed Champions sets arrive on June 1, 2024. If you're looking for something a bit more advanced and detailed, Lego also offers the Technic line. First up is a Porsche GT4 e-Performance, a 1,000-horsepower race car based on the 718 Cayman. This set can also function as a remote controlled car that moves forward, backward, and steers via a downloadable smartphone app. The 834-piece set costs $169.99. Last but not least, there's the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, a model of the Swedish supercar that is said to have a top speed of over 300 mph. The model does an admirable job of capturing the car's 0.278 Cd drag coefficient, considering it's comprised of 801 individual plastic bricks. This set will retail for $49.99 and, along with the Porsche, comes out August 1, 2024. Related Video LEGO Speed Champion Build: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
Porsche 911 GT3 RS facing delay over GT3 fire problems?
Mon, 24 Mar 2014Porsche has never been afraid to introduce variants of its cars. However, its even higher spec, next-generation 911 GT3 RS may be delayed from its planned launch this summer while the engines in the standard GT3s (pictured above) are replaced.
A delay isn't certain, but executives want to make sure the high-strung mill is no longer a problem before they press forward with another model using it. Germany's Auto Motor und Sport asked Porsche CEO Matthias Müller about pushing back the launch, and he responded that it was too early to say. The company's current focus is making sure the engines get fixed and working on internal measures to prevent this kind of flaw in the future.
When fires claimed two 911 GT3s in Europe, Porsche initially stopped the model's sales and asked owners to stop driving them. It finally diagnosed the blazes as being caused by a loose screw on a connecting rod, which then resulted in crankcase damage and an oil leak. The company is replacing the engines on all 785 affected cars. A source told Autoblog that under 200 customers were actually affected, and the other cars were either at port or dealer lots. Hopefully, the recall doesn't postpone the road-going GT3 RS too far because we want to see what Porsche has up its sleeve.
