2008 Porsche Cayman S - Porsche Design Edition 1 - Turbocharged! on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
Only 777 PD Edition 1 cars were built... this is #243. There are a lot of cool features that come with this model. The 19” wheels from the 911 Turbo and flat black stripes are the most obvious, but there are also some beautiful interior and performance items as well. The car has a black full leather interior including seats, dash, and door trim. The steering wheel, gear shift lever, handbrake, and headliner are all covered in beautiful black Alcantara. The instrument dials are unique to this model and there stainless steel entry plates that are engraved with “Porsche Design Edition 1”. The PD 1 suspension is 10 mm lower than a standard Cayman S. Additional Porsche options: - Power seat package - Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package - Heated Front Seats - Automatic Climate Control - Bose High End Sound Package I've installed a B&M Short Shift kit. This was a nice addition... quick, crisp shifts. I'll include the stock shifter if you desire. I purchased the car in April of 2008. I am the 2nd owner. However, the first owner was a Porsche collector and only had the car for a month or two. The car had 300 miles on it when I received it. A TPC Racing Stage 2 Turbo Kit was installed when the car had approximately 10,000 miles on it. The turbo makes the car perform like it should have from Porsche. I have well over $10,000 invested in this upgrade alone. It makes the car very quick, and it sounds quite pleasant as well. This turbo system yields over 450 HP. More info about the TPC turbo can be found here: http://www.tpcracing.com/tpc-racing-stage-2-cayman-turbo.html The turbo is obviously not a Porsche system. I make routine inspections of all plumbing and hardware to ensure proper operation. If you are not comfortable performing maintenance and/or repairs, TPC Racing’s shop is in Jessup, MD and they have authorized shops around the country. The car has never been on a track or a drag strip. Aftermarket appearance upgrades that I’ve made: - 3M clear bra - all LED (white) interior and cargo space lighting - replaced orange side markers with white - changed the hood badge from gold trim to silver trim (matches the theme of the car much better) The car currently has 16,650 miles on it. I put a new set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires on the car about 2700 miles ago. They are in excellent condition. The car is in excellent condition. It has been garaged every night of it's life. |

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race
Fri, 10 Oct 2014We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
Ferdinand Piech (1937-2019): The man who made VW global
Tue, Aug 27 2019Towering among his peers, a giant of the auto industry died Sunday night in Rosenheim/Upper Bavaria, Germany. Ferdinand Piech, a grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, who conceived the original Volkswagen in the 1930s, was the most polarizing automotive executive of our times. And one who brought automotive technology further than anyone else. Ferdinand Porsche had a son, Ferdinand (called "Ferry"), and a daughter, Louise, who married the Viennese lawyer Anton Piech. They gave birth to Ferdinand Piech, and his proximity to two Alfa Romeo sports cars — Porsche had done some work for the Italians — and the "Berlin-Rome-Berlin" race car, developed by Porsche himself, gave birth to Piech's interest in cars. After his teachers in Salzburg told his mother he was "too stupid" to attend school there, Piech, who was open about his dyslexia, was sent to a boarding school in Switzerland. He subsequently moved on to Porsche, where he fixed issues with the 904 race car and did major work on the 911. But his greatest project was the Le Mans-winning 917 race car, developed at breathtaking financial cost. It annihilated the competition, but the family had had enough: Amid growing tension among the four cousins working at Porsche and Piech's uncle Ferry, the family decided to pull every family member, except for Ferry, out of their management positions. Piech started his own consultancy business, where he designed the famous five-cylinder diesel for Mercedes-Benz, but quickly moved on to Audi, first as an engineer and then as CEO, where he set out to transform the dull brand into a technology leader. Piech killed the Wankel engine and hammered out a number of ambitious and sophisticated technologies. Among them: The five-cylinder gasoline engine; Quattro all-wheel drive and Audi's fantastic rally successes; and turbocharging, developed with Fritz Indra, whom Piech recruited from Alpina. The Audi 100/200/5000 became the world's fastest production sedan, thanks to their superior aerodynamics. Piech also launched zinc-coated bodies for longevity — and gave diesel technology a decisive boost with the advent of the fast and ultra-efficient TDI engines. Less known: Piech also decided to put larger gas tanks into cars. Customers loved it. Piech's first-generation Audi V8 was met with derision by competitors; it was too obviously based on the 200/5000.
Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
