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.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.

Porsche sells 919 Hybrid mockup for $100k on eBay

Mon, Jun 29 2015

Want to spend $100k on a new Porsche? Your local dealership will gladly sell you a new 911, Panamera, or Cayenne in the right trim level and spec, with all the right boxes ticked. But one buyer in Singapore recently spent that on a Porsche he (or she) couldn't even drive. The non-functional vehicle in question was a full-scale replica of the 919 Hybrid – just like the ones that just took a one-two finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Only this one was based on the 2014 spec that brought Porsche back to the forefront of endurance sportscar racing. Oh, and it has no running gear - electric or conventional. Porsche made a baker's dozen of these replicas to serve as showpieces and development models where a fully functional example wouldn't be needed. They're seldom sold, but Porsche Asia Pacific was given the green light to auction one off. Proceeds went towards charities helping disadvantaged children and the disabled. The fortunate collector ended up paying precisely $106,100 – that's in US dollars, not Singapore's – on eBay for the opportunity to put an all but completely authentic 919 Hybrid in his garage. Said collector won't be able to drive it, of course, but unless he was put through the kind of training that Mark Webber and Nico Hulkenberg have been, we doubt it'd be of much use anyway. And that's assuming Porsche were ever convinced to part with one of its high-tech, all conquering prototypes, which it likely won't for many years to come.

Ruf RGT 4.2 offers 518 hp of naturally aspirated power

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Ruf has a reputation for building some fast interpretations of the Porsche 911, and the company's latest RGT 4.2 at the Geneva Motor Show provides an interesting point of comparison compared to the new GT3 RS that's debuting there. In terms of pure power, the Ruf wins out. The company crafts a flat six with 4.2-liters of displacement making 518 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque with a top speed of 200 miles per hour. In contrast, the latest GT3 RS gets 500 ponies and 338 lb-ft of twist from its direct-injected 4.0-liter mill. Depending on your desires, the RGT 4.2 might have the preferred gearbox too with its six-speed manual versus the Porsche's PDK. Styling is also going to come down to personal tastes between these two. The RGT 4.2 has an almost old-school racing look with its bolted-on fender flares, five-spoke wheels, thick carbon fiber rear wing and lower front air dam. Inside, there's also an integrated roll cage. The RS, on the contrary, appears thoroughly modern with its big fender intakes at the back, slashes just behind the front wheels, CFRP hood and magnesium roof. Check out Ruf's naturally aspirated monster on the Geneva show floor in the gallery, above. The RGT 4.2 maintains a long tradition of Ruf supercars with its outrageous driving performance. Unveiled in 2000, the first RGT was characterised by its powerful, torquey normally-aspirated flat-six engine. With a significantly reduced all-up weight and sports-oriented suspension system, the RGT was an extremely impressive driving machine.Now, in 2015, the RGT remains true its original concept, though its external appearance is clearly more athletic. The wheel arches are more bulbous and the front facade presents huge round air intakes for more effective cooling. The chassis is reinforced by RUF's hallmark Integrated Roll Cage (IRC). Propulsion is provided by its virile 4.2-litre six-cylinder, normally-aspirated engine, developing 525bhp and 500Nm of torque, featuring dry sump lubrication with external oil tank. A proper driving machine for sure POWER 525 PS / 386 kW @ 8.370/min TORQUE 500 Nm @ 5.820/min DISPLACEMENT 4178ccm TRANSMISSION 6-speed manual gearbox TOP SPEED 322 km/h FUEL CONSUMPTION urban 19,8 l/100km non-urban 9,8l/100km combined 13,6 l/100km CO2 emissions 317g/km Effizienzklasse G Related Video:
