1986 - Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Elk Park, North Carolina, United States
Having been around 911's for 30 years, be assured that this is a great survivor example with which I am truly sad to see go. First off here are the items that may need attention depending on how important they are to you. I have fixed or serviced the things that were important for me. The AC doesn't blow cold. Normally these cars had an AC unit that felt like a small dog panting or your leg so unless you live in the far south or want a mechanically perfect car then this may not be an issue for you. I do not know if it just needs a charge or if the system needs to be replaced. If it were me and I wanted AC in this car then I would pull this OEM unit out and instal one of the new upgraded models such as the Rennaire unit [as with any 911 of this generation]. The is a spot under the license tag area where at some point a previous owner has run over something that has curled the rear valance back just a bit [maybe a half inch]. It doesn't bother me so I haven't ever addressed it but I'd think it would be fairly easy to curl back with a bit of effort. It wouldn't be perfect without taking it to a shop but you could get it pretty close. You would want to be careful not to bend in such a way that the paint would peel/chip/flake at the edge. There is a picture that shows what I am describing. FYI you won't see it unless you look right at it.... it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. There are a few small leaks around the front and rear corners of both the driver and passenger window. I have installed a new Targa Top and because of that, I am getting these few small leaks. The top itself needs to be adjusted [the side seals]...which should fix the leak. The front windshield seal has been replaced. The rear still seams to be in good shape. I rarely drive it in the rain so this has never been a priority for me. Actually the top usually stays off of it.... Services in the last 5,000 miles: Full front brake job including the addition of cross drilled front rotors New Front Left Right Brake Calipers/sensors/pads/hoses Valve Adjustment New Plugs New Distributor Cap New Ignition Rotor New Valve Cover Gasket Set New Air Filter New Belt New Battery New Clutch Cable New Boston Acoustic Speakers New Shift Bushing Set [not installed but will send with car] New Front Windshield Seal New Targa top [refurbished - it looks amazing] Options that make this car stand out: Turbo Sport Power Seats Steering wheel extender [if you've never driven a 911 with one then you'll wonder why they weren't standard equipment when you drive this one] Adjusted Brake Pedal [lowered to help better facilitate heal & toe - can easily be readjusted with a few simple handtools] Hand Polished/Finished Fuchs Wheels Front and Rear Spoiler [spoilers on a Targa make all the difference]

Porsche testing four-cylinder Boxster at the N?rburgring
Fri, 09 May 2014Porsche recently introduced a four-cylinder version of the new Macan for markets outside of North America, carrying Zuffenhausen's first four-pot since the 968 ended its production run the better part of two decades ago. But you can bet the compact crossover won't be the only Porsche to get the four banger before all's said and done. These spy shots, we're told, are evidence of just that.
Spotted undergoing testing at the Nürburgring (where else), this modified Boxster, our spy photographers tell us, sounds more like a four-cylinder engine than the flat six that's powered (in displacements ranging from 2.5 liters to 3.4) every version of the little roadster since its introduction in 1996, the year after the last four-cylinder Porsche ended production.
The test mule is also wearing modified wheel arches and aerodynamic aids under the bumpers, front and rear. Just what they're doing there we're not sure, but we'll probably find out sooner or later.
Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe vs Porsche Panamera Turbo S in unusual lux showdown
Fri, 07 Nov 2014We'll admit it, we're really looking forward to more time with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. Compared to other high-dollar luxury coupes - we're looking at you Bentley Continental GT - it's more stylish, easily more affordable, and since it's a Mercedes, lacks the sense of fragility that comes with a more exotic name plate.
Auto Express has taken a whack at reviewing the new two-door S-Class, and for some reason, the British mag is comparing it with a Porsche Panamera. Now, while comparing the looks of an S-Class Coupe and a Panamera is a bit like holding a beauty contest between Kate Upton and Medusa, this isn't as bizarre a pair as you might think, particularly when you opt for the high-dollar S63 AMG Coupe and the Panamera Turbo S.
The two offer similar power outputs from their force-induced V8s - 577 horsepower in the Benz and 570 horsepower in the Porsche - and are even similar in terms of interior and exterior dimensions. The S-Class actually has an extra inch between the axles and is 1.2 inches longer overall (it's also about 300 pounds heavier). In the cabin, the S-Class also has a tiny bit more rear legroom, with 33.4 inches to the Panamera's 33.3.
