If you are looking for the nicest 1997 Porsche Boxster in the world this
is it. Simply stunning color combination. Grand Prix White over Boxster
Red FULL leather interior which includes the seats, dash and the
insides of the doors. This car is HANDS DOWN the most IMPECCABLE Porsche
you will find in the marketplace. This is a REAL NATIONAL CONCOURSE
CHAMPION SEVERAL TIMES OVER!!!!! I have been collecting cars for over 25
years and have owned every High end sports, exotic and luxury car there
is. I purchased this car only 2 months ago from the Porsche Club of
America Regional Technical Chairman and thought I was ready for a new
toy. I have only put 15 miles on the car since owning it and can tell
you this is the quickest, tightest, best handling, best sounding and
GORGEOUS car you will ever find for less than $20,000. Let alone the
fact that anyone who walks up to it will mistake it for a new car. Being
a father of 3 kids under the age of 5 I am a nervous wreck having it in
the garage. I honestly thought that no one in the world was as OCD as I
was about cars but trust me the previous owner is. This was his baby
for the last 16 years and he was sick to his stomach selling it to me
and now I feel even worse having to sell it to someone else. I can go on
and on about how nice this car is but I would rather you refer to me
feedback. The last sale was my 2007 Lexus LS460 with 18,000 miles on it.
Those of you who truly understand what CONCOURSE QUALITY means will
know and appreciate this car. I would prefer to sell it to someone who
will truly care for it as the previous owner and myself have. The
following paragraph below is the ad from the original owner on EBAY just
2 month ago. He is the most knowledgeable Porsche guy I have ever met
and trust me I know many. His description is true and accurate and the
car in person is nicer than the ad states. Please excuse my photos they
are not the best because they are in the garage. You know the old saying
"YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED". That truly is an understatement when it
comes to this car. Please read the following description carefully.
Please feel free to email me via eBay and I will gladly answer your
questions. I will also happily text you specific photos if you include
your phone number. All I ask is that you don't waste my time. This is
NOT a BASE Boxster. This car has been tastefully modified and is way
over built. If you think this is a fire sale it is not. If you want to
insult me with a low ball offer I will not return your email. My asking
price is very fair when you consider the miles, the condition and the
added equipment to this car which would cost $ 20,000 without the car. I
have been around cars since I was 3 and have sold thousands of cars
throughout my career. If you treat me with respect you will get the same
in return, it is really that simple. There is simply NOT ANOTHER CAR
LIKE this in the world. 1997 Porsche Boxster, 8754 Miles. Perfect in
every way. Grand Prix White with Boxster Red Full Leather Interior,
Sport Package, TPC Supercharger making 5-6 lbs of boost. Approximately
275 HP at the rear wheels. 5-Speed Manual Transmission, H&R Full
Coil-Over Suspension, B&B Polished Stainless Exhaust, 18" Porsche
Sport Classic II Wheels with Michelins, Drilled Rotors, Pagid Orange
Pads, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, Custom Built Rear Chassis Brace,
Porsche Short Shifter with new style Porsche Shift Lever, Boost and AF
Ratio Gauges.
This car was built for show only. Never beaten in any Porsche car show it was ever entered in. Fully detailed undercarriage, engine/transmission and suspension. Never driven in rain, never tracked and never damaged in any way. The car is simply stunning. Even the holes in the drilled rotors were painted black inside. All modifications work perfectly together and is fully emission compliant. Simply put, this is THE nicest first year Boxster in the world...period. If you are serious please feel free to call or text me at 616-813-2755.

Remembering Porsche's illustrious Le Mans history
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Not only does this weekend mark the running of the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will also see the return of one of the race's most venerable brands to the top tiers of endurance racing. Porsche will campaign its first top-flight car since the 1998 911 GT1-98, the 919 Hybrid, at this weekend's race, in the hopes of knocking off its corporate rival, the dominant Audi team.
To understand just what a win for the 919 would mean, though, you need to look back on the intrinsic connection between the Circuit de la Sarthe and Porsche. It's a history that spans decades, dating back to the team's first win in 1970.
XCar has a great video on that history. At 25 minutes, it's a bit on the long side. Then again it is the Friday before Le Mans. Take a look below for the video.
'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech
Wed, 07 Aug 2013No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
