1955 Porsche 356 Speedster Intermeccanica 1 Of The Original 600 on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States

I just bought this car for a replacement to my 65 356 which I sold. I bought this car specifically because it HAD a hardtop. Well, the shipping company destroyed the hardtop or lost it and now there is no hardtop. I am moving 3 hours away for work and am losing my garage. A car with no top doesn't really work well without indoor storage. If you check you will see I am selling 2 other cars as well. So here is what I can tell you. This is one of the original 660 Intermecannica Speedsters built in the 70's. That's another reason I took a liking to this car. It has been verified by intermeccanica. It has the correct hinges. It was built in 1978 and has just over 33k miles. The engine is freshly rebuilt with less than 300 miles and runs like a dream and is oil leak free. There are many authentic period pieces on this car. For example, the steering wheel alone is a 2-4k piece if you can find one. The shifter knob, the license plate shine down, etc are all vintage 356. The gauges are early 912 but still look right because they are Porsche gauges. The floor pans are solid and are heavy gauge steel. The car is /was built to be a gulf tribute (obviously), but also has an outlaw Patina look that adds to the authenticity. There is pitting in the chrome, a small crack on the windshield, the shipper put a tarp on the car after "losing" the top, so there is burn through (as pictured) on the front fender. There is a pretty good amount of stress cracking in the paint which is really invisible unless you try really hard to look for it.. So in general, you are buying a patina 356 replica. I personally think it looks much cooler than the dolled up cars that look like rolling show pieces. There is a full tonneau that covers the upholstery, and a soft top that isn't really functional at all. Finally there is a speedster hump that attaches behind the seats. In the pics it is just resting on top of the tonneau. It actually fits snug and looks good. The upholstery is in good shape but there is no carpet. A carpet kit and all other pieces for this car are easily gotten and not expensive. Finally, I am including an extra set of wide 5 10 slot wheels because I know not everyone likes the orange Empis. I have to move by August 15th so I need to sell this and have it gone by then. I am going NO RESERVE so hopefully I will not need to list it twice. Do not bid and then disappear. Call me with any questions 410 215 5977. Attention Canadians, this car registers as a 68 VW, so you can import it easily. It is a VW pan and not a tube frame. You won't find a Speedster for low money anymore, they are going up, so get this one now while it is still a deal, do some work and earn some profit. Denis |

Porsche's baby Panamera delayed until 2019 or later
Tue, 15 Jul 2014If you're enticed by the idea of a Porsche sedan but find the Panamera to be too big, your hopes may have been raised by the development of the so-called Pajun. But don't get those hopes up too much, because the latest word coming in from the Old World has it that the Panamera Junior has been delayed.
The Pajun was (and theoretically still is, despite tardiness) a project to apply to the Panamera the same winning formula that Porsche used to transmute the Cayenne into the smaller Macan. Its size would be closer to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class than the larger Panamera, and employ an array of six-cylinder engines.
The smaller five-door was set to be the cornerstone of Porsche Product Strategy 2018, a plan that included several new models to be launched within the next four years. However, reports now indicate that the Volkswagen Group is counting on Porsche to help bolster its profits and is not keen on investing in new products at this time, pushing the Pajun and other projects back until 2019 at the earliest. Although much of the strategy remains undisclosed, it is believed to include (or have included) a sub-Boxster sports car and a supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder. There was also talk of a shooting brake version of the Panamera based on the Sport Turismo concept pictured above. What will become of those projects, however, remains to be seen.
Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach
Sun, Aug 16 2015The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.

Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market
Wed, Oct 30 2019FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.
