2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Martini Racing on 2040-cars

US $82,125.00
Year:2012 Mileage:38235
Location:

Selling my Martini Racing adorned Cayenne Turbo.  At this price, you'd be a fool to buy the S or GTS.  There is no substitute for a 500hp family car.  If you are in the market for this kind of ride then you probably already know there is nothing that compares to the Cayenne Turbo.  X5 M is nice, but it is just not quite on this level.  The seats (18 way heated and cooled) are the most comfortable on the market and the car is Crazy fun to drive while achieving very respectable MPG.  

We are selling because we are building a new home and replacing her with a Tesla.   I can say without hesitation that this Cayenne is an absolute joy to own, drive, and has not had a single issue. The Turbo is heads and  tails faster than the 'S' and and decidedly faster than the GTS.  Just performed the 40k Service.  Service intervals are every 10K.  

I will sell early for the right price, and she is listed locally.  The 3M vinyl is removable.  Please Google "Martini Racing" if you are unfamiliar with the rich history of this racing Livery.  

Please call with any questions.  

Truly, I have loved and cared for this car perhaps more than is healthy.  She has been pampered and driven with respect and professionalism, and I can assure you are buying a beautiful, amazing car that you can obsess over as well.  She has served as the family car only.  Racing stripes are strictly cosmetic.  No additional aftermarket upgrades.   

The Electric TOY CARS ARE NOT for sale.  I'll be happy to assist in shipping, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the buyer.  

Call anytime with any questions on this 1 of a kind Martini Racing Cayenne Turbo

$1000.00 due within 48 hours of end of auction.  No taxes on private party sale.

First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."
