You are bidding on a 1963 Porsche Type B Ruetter Cabriolet with a Super-90 Engine. This classic open-top Porsche has had an older restoration but it is in excellent condition. The exterior is white (factory color was grey) with a factory red interior and a new black top. Of 9208 total 356 cars built in 1963, only 933 were cabriolets and 25% of the cabs had the most powerful Super-90 engine. This car appears to have no rust. The paint is good with a few small chips. Chrome door handles have minor pitting. The hub cap crests are original and have minor wear. The minor cosmetic defects could be easily fixed but I left them to illustrate the genuine nature of the car as so many 356 cars are fakes. The interior shows look great with minimal wear and the red upholstery has no defects and includes both headrests. The rear floor mats and bonnet tray are new. Original type radio. Original steering wheel. The car has an original 6V electric system, new bulbs in most sockets. Mechanically the car started easily but it has not been driven for two years and was only driven for short excursions in dry weather. The Solex PII-40 carburetors were rebuilt. Oil pressure lines, oil filter, spark plugs, ignition cables, coil, and engine rubber seal are new. The gas tank was acid washed and flush-the fuel cock has been removed. An extra fuel pump is available. I have a certificate of Authenticity from Porsche of North America which shows the factory original specifications and I have the original new car Porsche pamphlet. The chassis number is 158236. Engine number is P-8033592, case 616.07.85) which is the correct Porsche Type B period and type (1961), but not the original engine from the factory. The odometer shows about 36,000 miles but the true mileage is unknown. This is an excellent opportunity to own and enjoy an appreciating, quality, collectable classic Porsche. I love the car and hope you will too.

2014 Porsche Cayman S
Thu, 29 Aug 2013Second Fiddle Moves To First Chair
In the interest of full disclosure and a bit of bloodletting, allow me to admit that while I've always coveted the Porsche Boxster and its hard-hatted Cayman cousin, I've never really warmed to them visually. They've always had a certain push-me, pull-you, can't-decide-which-way-they're-going aesthetic that I've never really wrapped my head around. Porsche achieved the same thing with the original 550 Spyder's overturned bathtub bodyshell that would come to inspire the Boxster, but somehow that classic's even more symmetrical nature works for me. Fast-forward to this third generation, and at least for this enthusiast, Porsche's manchild has well and truly come of age as a design.
It's all there - a piercing stare thanks to squircle headlamps inspired by the 918 Spyder hypercar, newfound directional thrust afforded by a longer wheelbase and elongated greenhouse, and muscular rear haunches with a wider stance emphasized by larger side ductwork and snubbed overhangs. The body's teardrop shape terminates with an active spoiler that integrates into a gorgeous arc with the taillamps like a budding ducktail nod to 1973 911 Carrera RS. Despite casting a longer shadow than its predecessor, the 2014 Cayman still looks tidily proportioned, smooth and wieldy, the perfect skipping stone to ricochet down a canyon river road.
Chris Harris brings together the 918 Spyder, LaFerrari, and P1
Sat, Nov 21 2015The Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 show that a hybrid powertrain can make for blistering performance despite its electric assist. This trio doesn't arrive on track together very often, but Chris Harris assembled these three stars at the Portimao circuit for a nearly hour-long demonstration of their amazing capabilities. So, which one is quickest around the track? Harris provides an answer with in-car video of all three contenders. His team also goes out of its way to even the playing field by sourcing tires independently from Pirelli for the P1 and LaFerrari. With the technical part out of the way, Harris can start having fun by doing his usual slides during the driving comparison. Tiff Needell and Marino Franchitti also eventually show up to provide the perfect recipe for a track battle in these hypercars. If you don't have the time, skip about 14:25 into the clip just to see the lap times. However, those numbers only tell a tiny part of the story. The whole video is definitely worth a watch.
Mark Webber gets early clearance for Porsche departure
Thu, 28 Nov 2013If there's no rest for the wicked, there's surely even less rest for the wickedly fast. And make no mistake about it, Mark Webber is wickedly fast. He may not have proven able (or given the opportunity, depending on who you ask) to emerge from Sebastian Vettel's shadow after six seasons partnered with the multiple world champion at Red Bull Racing, but he's still won nine Formula One grands prix, to say nothing of the sports car races he won with Mercedes in the late 90s. But now he's leaving F1 to anchor Porsche's new LMP1 program, and according to the latest reports, he's departing Red Bull for Porsche sooner than expected.
Typically an F1 driver is obliged to stay with his team until the end of the calendar year - not just the end of the racing season - helping out with things like promotional events and fine-tuning next year's car. But news.com.au reports that Red Bull has given him early leave, so once the racing action in Brazil is done on Sunday, he's departing straight for Porsche's racing headquarters in Wiessach, Germany.
It won't be Webber's first visit to the facility, having already swung by to have his new seat fitted. But his early arrival will undoubtedly help him and Porsche get up and running ahead of schedule. The move may have been facilitated by a new sponsorship deal that could see Webber carry Red Bull with him to Le Mans, so don't be too surprised to see the energy drink company's logo on the side of the new Porsche once the new racing season gets under way next year, whether in concert with or instead of the anticipated revival of the Martini Racing livery.
