 It is hard to put a value on something that is so extraordinary that is truly one of a kind.  What price after all could one put on pure bliss?  If you are reading this ad, you know probably can imagine the feeling of getting in your dream car and putting some distance between you and your everyday life.
 
There is no doubt certain cars create an absolute frenzy. They can draw crowds, spark up nostalgia and almost immediately make our lives that much less ordinary. With a turn of their ignition they can forge a grin on the toughest of men and with each passing mile make our dreams come true.  
 
These cars have a blend that is one part beautiful design, one part extreme power to weight and a dash of adrenaline that can only be enhanced by a sound so symphonic it stays in in our minds vault for an eternity.

This ad is to showcase on of these very special cars.  Ava is a Porsche 356 Outlaw Replica that can stand proudly amongst some of the world’s most beautiful vehicles.  Designed and professionally built to spec for a high performance 911 drivetrain, positively no excuses need be made regarding her heritage.

Ava’s collection of best in show trophies and her online following speak volumes to the fanfare that has resulted since a recent refit and transition into a full on yet fully drivable 356 Outlaw Roadster. The car’s work was performed by some of the best talent in my region and a complete history of the work performed will transition to Ava’s next keeper.

Ultimately my goal with Ava was to create a best of its kind Outlaw and that’s what I believe you see before you today. The car can be driven with tremendous enthusiasm for hundreds of miles on end. The fiberglass 356 body eliminates the concern of rust and expands the car’s usability while the scorching performance delivered by a 200+ Horsepower Porsche Flat Six and highly modified suspension places Ava’s go fast capabilities can humiliate many a late model super car.

Some Details:
 
Ava is Historic Registered and Titled  in NJ as a 1956 356 Porsche. Her power comes from a very warmed up John Donohue built 2.7 Liter motor with Mahle pistons, a set of Webers and a laundry list of other hi-po goodies.

The car was manufactured using a slab side body with very minor rear SC style flares over a modified partial tube frame, Porsche 911 rear suspension, Disk Breaks and a Porsche 5 speed 901 transmission.  

As you look through the supporting photos you will start to see the car was not intended to reflect any one particular 356 model year. Nor was it supposed to be an exact clone.  While the original cars are great, Ava was never intended to be passed off this of as part of their tribe.  

Some of trim pieces that make this 356 replica so special include: Dash Mounted Heuer Stopwatches, Custom Fitted 356 Carrera Rear Valance, Adjustable SuperTrap Trumpets, Route 30 Classics-Speedster Headrest Cowl, Fibersteel Porsche 550 Spyder Mirrors and Leather Bonnet Straps, Nardi Wheel with Porsche Crest, Original Early Series Porsche Fuchs, Lemans Style Auxiliary Lamps, an Original 356: rear Deck Lid, Door Strikes, Hinges, Gas Tank, Glass, Convertible D Top Frame and German Cloth Top and soft cover as well as a fair amount of  other original 356 trim bits throughout.

Starting out, the objective was to have a very unique car that would sound epic, look ravishing, and drive like a street legal racer. The great conversations and new friendships, trophies and other attention well…they became pleasant but unexpected outcomes of life with Ava.

'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.

A teaser from Subaru has our appetites whetted for the next WRX, and we're intrigued by the value proposition offered by the rear-wheel-drive Kia Stinger. Long-distance motorcycle tourers went gaga over leaked images of the next Honda Gold Wing. Such intense interest comes as no surprise considering that it's the standard by which all its competitors are judged, and it looks to be getting some serious new technology in its next iteration.

Porsche 918 Spyder roars electric through London

Sun, Jun 29 2014

The Porsche 918 Spyder can be an object of lust for anyone who appreciates the finer things in the automotive world, but for us greenies with penchant for speed, the car is an icon. This gorgeous, all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid offers 887 horsepower and 940 pound-feet of torque, can do 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds and is capable of 214 miles per hour. It lapped the Nurburgring in a record 6:57. Still, it is capable of near-silent, relaxed cruising through one of Europe's busiest cities. In a new video from Porsche, chief driving instructor Gordon Robertson takes the 918 to London and does just that. While driving in E-Power mode, he describes some of the things that make the car special, as well as how the technology has developed through the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the 919 LMP1 car to eventually be passed onto the Panamera S E-Hybrid. If you're interested, you can learn more about the car in our own drive review, here. It's great to see, for the first time, the 918 Spyder driving alongside London's black cabs and double-decker buses. The rubbernecking from pedestrians is noticeable and completely understandable. I'm sure we'd all love to see this car come silently sneaking down our own city streets, but until Porsche makes that happen, you'll just have to enjoy the video below.
