Hello and thanks for checking out this listing of my 2004 Porsche Boxster S Special Edition in excellent condition. This car was created as a special commemorative tribute to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 550 Spyder and is an example of just 1,953 cars made (this is #1,290). Special styling cues native to the Special Edition are the Carrera GT Silver Metallic paintwork (then only available on this car and the Carrera GT supercar), an individually numbered plaque mounted on the center console, 18-inch Carrera wheels, and a stacked center mounted exhaust. The suspension has been optimized as well and features stiffer springs and shocks, plus Porsche Stability Management fitted as standard. Brakes are ventilated aluminum discs with four-piston brake calipers with an aluminum paint finish.

Special Edition special features aside, this car is classic Porsche refinement and engineering at its best. A 3.2L flat 6-cylinder power plant supplies up to 264 horsepower @ 6,200rpm. The Tiptronic S dual mode transmission offers 5 automatic shifting gears or a manual mode with sport steering wheel-mounted shift buttons. The leather interior is in showroom shape with no rips, tears, or wear marks. The car was well optioned with cruise control, a thumping Bose Sound System with AudioPilot, a remote 6-disc CD changer, sport seats, and Xenon Litronic headlamps. Carpets, floor mats, and all trim are in likewise incredible condition.

I am the third owner of this stunning roadster and have put barely 4k miles on the car since purchasing it in June of 2011. Regular service has been courtesy of a local import specialist or the service team at Delaware Porsche. Just installed is a brand new battery and low-tone horn. The only "issue" that the next owner may want to address is a pulled area of trim on the headliner just rear of the top release (see photograph), although it has never bothered me and I doubt it will bother you.

The car has been garaged since new and has been used exclusively as a fair-weather, top-down cruiser. The bodywork is laser straight with no dings. The paintwork is an 8.5 out of 10 with only a very few blemishes with regard to minuscule stone chips, some light scuffing under the front bumper (this is a low-slung car), and a bit of swirl here and there. Open the driver's side door and you will see a trio of very small nicks just beneath the door latch mechanism (see photograph). All four wheels are in quite good condition with colored center crests. A couple of the wheels sport some very light curb rash that is barely noticeable without going nose-to-tire with the wheel. I have done my utmost to take accurate and detailed photos of the car and welcome your questions.

Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus that have fewer than 1,000 miles. They were installed at an expense of just under $1,000 less than a year ago.

The car is available for your immediate review here in Wilmington, Delaware...convenient to both the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. metro areas. The car is a true stunner and is well worth the trip no matter where you may be located. Local pick-up is of course available but I would be happy to help the winning bidder coordinate transportation anywhere.

Thanks very much for reading this lengthy description. The car has brought me a lot of joy over the past three years with the only out of pocket expenses being the very low-cost service items previously discussed and Super Unleaded, of course! I am selling it because I simply don't drive it enough due to work and life commitments. The reserve has been set at a very reasonable amount well below KBB value and is an excellent value.

Porsche Macan caught completely uncovered

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Porsche is preparing to launch its sub-Cayenne CUV, with a suspected debut at the 2013 Los Angeles International Auto Show, which means we're right about at the point where undisguised models start scampering around the cities and towns of Germany. Our spy photographers snagged just such a model, with only the headlights and taillights concealed by camouflage (no, those comically large lamps aren't a production item).
The undisguised car looks like a tiny Cayenne. Not really surprising, we know, but it's impressive to see how the Cayenne's styling works with the smaller proportions of the Macan. It looks squat, athletic and poised, like it's a small, "sporty" crossover we'd actually want to drive. Both the Macan and the Macan Turbo are shown, with the more powerful model sporting a set of quad exhausts.
The only big questions now concern the shape of the lights and the interior. From the photos, we can see a rough outline of the headlights, although the taillights are more difficult to discern. The interior remains a mystery.

New details mooted about Porsche's '988' Ferrari rival

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

We could be on the verge of a big expansion at everyone's favorite rear-engined German sports car manufacturer. Porsche is allegedly preparing a four-car assault that will be led by a proper challenger to the Ferrari 458 Italia (sorry 911).
Code-named "988," the new model will reportedly feature a mid-engined layout and, get this: a flat-8. Autocar, which has the story, expects that engine to displace about 4.0 liters, while the car itself will draw styling inspiration from the 918 Spyder. 600 ponies and over 400 super-accessible pound-feet of torque should be on tap with the new mill.
Joining the 988's supposed eight-cylinder is a new family of four- and six-cylinder boxer engines that Autocar claims will have a focus on power density and fuel economy. These new mills will be available in naturally aspirated, turbocharged and hybrid forms.

Porsche says next Cayenne will be faster than Bentley Bentayga

Fri, Jan 23 2015

Bentley and Porsche are both high-end marques under the same umbrella, and may even be collaborating on development of new models – but while they tend to take different approaches and go after different customers, that doesn't mean they can't share a bit of sibling rivalry. And that spirit of competition – even within the Volkswagen Group – looks to be coming to a head in the form of their upcoming luxury performance crossovers. For his part, Bentley CEO Wolfgang Durheimer promises that the brand's upcoming Bentayga sport-ute will (in its top spec with the W12 engine) be the fastest SUV on the market. But in speaking with Car and Driver, Wolfgang Hatz – who holds the Porsche R&D head office that Durheimer used to occupy – says the Bentley won't be king for long. Porsche just released the new Cayenne Turbo S in Detroit, touting it as the first SUV to crack the eight-minute barrier at the Nurburgring. And Hatz says that the next version will be even faster. "Our Cayenne is always very very quick. It is doing 300 km/h [186 mph]. I think if [Durheimer] is doing 2 to 3 km/h more, then why not? He's doing that with a 12-cylinder. Our car will be much quicker on the road." The next Cayenne is slated to use a new generation of engines, and according to Hatz, will benefit from the same (if not more) weight loss as the new Audi Q7 with which it will share its platform. That sounds like a winning combination to us. That is, at least, for fans of performance crossovers. For those who aren't, Porsche promises it won't be bolstering its lineup with any new ones. Apparently the Cayenne and the smaller Macan are enough. Nor will Zuffenhausen slot anything bigger than a V6 into the Macan, according to the report. While Porsche's baby crossover will surely continue to get faster with new iterations, the Cayenne will always remain the performance flagship of its SUV range.
