1969 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Miami Beach, Florida, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : aubreyabbarnell@ukfamilies.com .
1969 Porsche 911E Widebody RSR Tribute. This car was constructed and painted as you see it in the mid 80's.
However, it still was built using the same formulae used to build these RS tribute cars today. Nothing has been
changed on this car or added to this car for the last 20 plus years. Steel Flares on all four corners, later model
higher HP engine, stronger 915 trans, modified front suspension, low stance, racing Webers, roll bar, harnesses,
all done the same as they are being built today. The early style whale-tail spoiler was used instead of the
ducktail to accommodate the A/C condenser.
Engine is a beefed up 1978 3.0SC engine with the 930 case, rebuilt about 30k ago and sporting a safety wired pair
of racing 46IDA Italian Webers that are worth about $4,000 by themselves. Vintage Ansa turbo exhaust gives it a
nice sound without being too loud. Trans is the upgraded stronger 915 5spd with a racing shifter and the front
suspension is from a 1974 911S that does away with the problematic original Boge suspension. Car sits very low
with a mean stance. Wheels are 18x8 and 18x10 HOLLOW Turbo Twists that are worth about $3,500 (check values
online). Tires are older and will need to be replaced but hold air and don’t go flat. I would recommend selling
off the Turbo Twists and going with something more period correct. The car is prepared with the half roll bar, a
200mph speedometer, vintage Pyrotech racing harnesses and late 70’s 911 sport seats.The car has been in storage for over 20 years. All that has been done was fresh fluids, cleaned out fuel system and
it started right up and idles smoothly and revs effortlessly without any noise, knocks, or ticks. There is a very
slight bit of smoke as soon as it starts after it has sat for a week or two but it clears up almost immediately to
zero. Car will need Webers cleaned and rebuilt and a tune up to pull all the power out of it as it still is
running 20 year old cap, points, rotor, plugs and wires. Tires are older and flat spotted from long term storage.
Will need front lower pan as the driver’s side torsion bar mount is weak and some typical floor pan repairs as it
still has its original floor pan. Despite looking great in the photos, the paint is over 30 years old. It is
presentable and carries with it a vintage patina, however, if you want a show car it will need paint. Car still
draws a crowd wherever it is taken and looks impressive in person.
I have the service file from the local performance shop that goes back decades from 40 years of continuous
ownership including the documented engine build 30k miles ago. Also has the Weber tuning manual. Car comes with
about $2,000 in spares and parts including a 1973 Date Coded “Big Tank” B.F. Goodrich space saver spare that
has never been used, an original Porsche tool roll, trim and lots of small new parts and rubber.

Watch a Porsche 918 Spyder being built by hand
Sat, Jan 3 2015No music track, no dialogue, no voiceover, just a group of women and men in a very clean room in Zuffenhausen assembling the Porsche 918 Spyder. It's the antidote to the adrenaline that the open-topped hybrid coupe encourages in most enthusiast bloodstreams, but this nearly-11-minute video is the most captivating B-roll we've seen in a while. From hand-sewn leather to hand-wrapped trim, monococques being wheeled about, the copious use of shims and the rear brace being fitted over the engine, plus the Christmas-like joy of opening a box of body panels, it's all in there. You can't buy a new one anymore, but you can see how they're built for those who did buy them in the video above.

Porsche Panamera Turbo S vs Ariel Atom Supercharged in unlikely drag battle
Thu, 01 May 2014David versus Goliath battles are always an enticing proposition, because they offer the chance to watch scrappy underdogs take on their bigger rivals. Evo has set up just such a battle with its latest drag race between the minimalist Ariel Atom 3.5 Supercharged (Ariel Atom 3 pictured below) and the plush Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
The two cars couldn't be more different. The Atom personifies Lotus founder Colin Chapman's well-known axiom: "Simplify, then add lightness." Most of the car doesn't even have a body; it's just an exposed frame with a 310 horsepower supercharged Honda four-cylinder mounted behind the driver. On the other side, there's the Panamera Turbo S. In the latest version, it packs 570 hp and 553 pound-feet from its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and it features all-wheel drive. Of course, all of that comes with a significant weight penalty.
Off the line, the differences are even more apparent. The Atom doesn't have any of the Porsche's technological wizardry, so launching it challenges the driver to build the revs and let out the clutch just right. The car screams like a banshee as it goes, though. The Porsche is the exact opposite. Its launch control system lets the driver hold down the brake, get on the throttle and accelerate away in just the right way.
Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
Mon, 13 Jan 2014With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.
