1997 Porsche Boxster Base Convertible 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
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.

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.

Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.
Porsche hybrids come up short at Le Mans
Tue, Jun 17 2014Two cars, one finish, zero victories. That's a brief synopsis of Porsche's hybrid-vehicle performance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. There's always next year. Porsche entered two 919 Hybrid vehicles in the race. The No. 14 car essentially limped to the finish line after encountering drivetrain problems. The other Porsche hybrid, No. 20, was driven by Germany's Timo Bernhard, New Zealand's Brendon Hartley and Australia's Mark Webber. That car ran for more than 22 hours before its own powertrain issues did that racing team in for good. Both vehicles ran towards the front of the pack at times during the race, and the No. 20 car actually led the race after about 20 hours. Still, both teams said they were disappointed in the results. Porsche sister company Audi came up big for the 13th time in the race's long and storied history. One Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro won the race, while another finished second. The Toyota that had pole-position and was winning much of the race shut down after 15 hours of racing because of electrical issues and Nissan had trouble with is ZEOD RC. Check out Porsche's press release below, and read here for a more general race recap. STRONG PERFORMANCE BY PORSCHE 919 HYBRIDS BUT NO DREAM ENDING IN PROTOTYPE RETURN TO LE MANS Le Mans. After a strong performance by both Porsche 919 Hybrids, the Porsche Team was left empty-handed after a dramatic final stage of the race. Following more than 22 hours, car No. 20 driven by Timo Bernhard (Germany), Brendon Hartley (New Zealand) and Mark Webber (Australia) suffered a powertrain problem at the world's most famous endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Earlier in the race the LMP1 class car was leading overall for a significant period of time. The second innovative and highly complex prototype – in the hands of Romain Dumas (France), Neel Jani (Switzerland) and Marc Lieb (Germany) – likewise proved to be very competitive, but was hampered by a drivetrain problem. However, their No. 14 car crossed the finish line under its own power. After a thrilling start to the race with changing weather conditions, numerous accidents and a relatively calm night, Bernhard took the overall lead in the No. 20. The longtime Porsche factory driver returned to the top spot after 20 of the 24 hours. At 12:36 (CET) on Sunday, he handed the leading car over to Webber. Less than 20 minutes later the Australian was forced to slow down and drove solely on electric power back to pit lane.
Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties
Wed, 14 May 2014These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.
