Premium Package Porsche Torque Vectoring PTV PDK Package 20" Carrera Wheels PASM Package Sport Chrono Package Sport Stearing Wheel Launch Controls Paddle Shifters Leather Premium Power Sport Seats Heated Seats Red Calipers Sport Mode Sport Plus Mode Sport Suspension Mode MSRP was $80,200!! I have the original window sticker. PLUS, I have already paid for all of the routine maintenance for the first 36,000 miles!...this transfers with the car along with the remaining Porsche warranty. I have looked online and have not been able to find another Boxster S Launch Edition with as many options as this one! There are three that come close, but are missing at least one option here or there. I am the original owner and purchased it new at Bluegrass Porsche in Louisville, KY. To tell you how loaded up this car is the MSRP was $80,200. You will notice it has the 20" 911 Wheels with red calipers and p-zero tires. The most impressive thing about this Boxster over any others is that it has Launch Controls. To active the Launch Controls you first put the car in "Sport Plus" mode (which also activates the racing suspension), then you hold the break down, put the gas pedal to the floor, wait a second for the "Launch" light to light up on the steering wheel..and then let off the gas!! I have only tried it one time and it was ridiculous. With that said, the car has NEVER been on a track or driven over 90 mph. I like all the bells and whistles, but in the end I just putz around town. The convertible top only takes 6 seconds to go up or down...and you can put it down anytime as long as you are going 25 mph or less. You will also notice in the pictures that it has Navigation (both on the screen and in a second screen next to the speedometer). The screen to the right of the speedometer scrolls between the radio, XM, iPod, Bluetooth, Phone, Navigation...it has a G-Force Gauge that measures the G-forces you are feeling in ANY direction in real time. There is also a track Chronometer in case you wanted to time yourself on a track or from 0-60. The seats are leather and are the 32-way adjustable seats (the top of the line that Porsche offers). The clock on the dash is also another track timer in addition to being a normal clock. Heated seats...XM Radio...Bluetooth, PCM "Porsche Control Management" system. There are three modes...normal...sport...and sport plus. In addition you can turn on the sport/track suspension anytime you like. The PDK Transmission is so smooth. You will notice that it has the sport steering wheel and the paddle shifters...which work better than any other car I have ever had. The car will allow you to use the paddle shifters anytime you want...but if it decides you need to shift, it will take over again automatically...this car can out think you and out shift you...there is no need to have a manual anymore. Of course it also has the premium BOSE stereo system with surround sound. I always keep it in the garage. When I purchased it, I paid for all of the routine scheduled maintenance for the first 36,000 miles. I also paid extra for the wheel and tire coverage. Since the tires are so low-profile (and expensive to replace) I wanted to make sure they were covered to be safe. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. I have additional photos I can share. I do not need to sell it, and as much as I appreciate a good low ball offer (because I have made a few of those myself in the past), I love it and would keep it rather than let it go for cheap. With this one being so nice, I deserves a good home with someone who is willing to pay a reasonable price for an awesome car! :) I have the original window sticker. I could only get 24 photos on eBay, but if you would like a copy of the window sticker I am happy to email it to you. If you are wondering why I am selling it...I have small kids and need something with a back seat. If you have a 2012 - 2014 BMW 6 Series Xdrive convertible and are looking to trade, let me know. I would also consider a newer Porsche Panamara, Audi S7, Mercedes 4matic (C, CLS, or S class). Cheers, John |

Autocar pits Porsche 911 Turbo S against Formula 4 racer
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There is a long-running argument among performance car fans: power vs. weight. In one corner you get cars generally with small engines making modest numbers but able to corner like they are telepathic, and in the other there are big thumping mills that are rocketships in a straight line but lumber in the turns. Autocar takes an interesting look this continuum in a recent video pitting a 552-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S against a 185-hp Formula 4 racecar. It hopes to find whether the Porsche's huge power advantage is enough to defeat the better grip and aero offered by the nimble racer.
There's no doubt that the Porsche is an utterly fantastic road car. The 911 Turbo looks mean with all of those intakes to suck in cool air, and it backs up the posture with huge amounts of grip available thanks to its all-wheel drive-system. However, at 3,538 pounds, it's a bit of a porker compared to the 1,135-pound Formula 4 car. The open-wheel car boasts just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder from Ford and a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox, but it has loads of downforce to make up for it.
It shouldn't be a surprise that the formula car wins in the corners. After all, that's what it's made for. So do you think the massive horsepower superiority of the Porsche is enough to even the playing field? Scroll down to watch the video and find out, and even if you're not curious of the winner the 911 does some mean powerslides.
World's largest toy car collection is in Beirut, and it's remarkable
Fri, Jan 31 2014It's common for auto enthusiasts to have a few miniatures of their favorite cars around their home or office. They provide a respite of happiness knowing that if you can't have the real things, at least you can look at them in miniature. However, Billy Karam of Beirut, Lebanon, has taken collecting toy cars to its extreme. His collection of over 30,000 model cars and 400 dioramas is certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest collection of car toys. "You cannot buy the big ones, so you buy a thousand of the small ones instead," says Karam in the video. Karam is a former amateur racing driver with a weakness for all things Porsche, and many of his dioramas depict races that he drove in or attended. Looking at them gives him a chance to relive the experiences again, but unlike a photo or video, they are right there in three dimensions. Scroll down to watch this astounding Cool Hunting video narrated by the collection's captivating owner. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
