Porsche 1992 America Roadster
This is most likely the lowest mileage Porsche 964 American Roadster left, a one owner car with only 3373 miles
since new. Finished in black 'Schwartz' with Tan leather interior this car was bought new in 1992 and has remained
with its first and only owner throughout its life.
In 1952 the fledgling Porsche company had its eyes set on what would become its biggest marked, that of North
America. Sticking to Dr. Porsches ethos of an efficient and fast two seater they produced a no nonsense sportster
dubbed the 'America Roadster,’ only 25 examples were manufactured, all but one sold to the US market.
Fast forward forty years to 1992, Porsche had built a legend in the 911 originally designed by Ferdinand
‘Butzi’ Porsche in 1964, now in what is considered the final iteration of the classic body shell the 964 had
evolved into a thoroughly modern car with all of the expected creature comforts and safety equipment expected in
the modern world.
To celebrate the anniversary of the 25 cars from forty years earlier Porsche reintroduced the formula for a short
run of 964 models, producing in the process 250 of the 964 'America Roadsters.’ Utilizing a Turbo wide body
convertible it was equipped with such features as special 17” Cup wheels, turbo brakes and suspension, a rear
seat delete - making it strictly a two seater and a fully electric convertible top. Keeping the lines clean, the
rear spoiler was that of the regular Carrera 2 and 4 - a speed activated electric unit housed in the engine lid.
Powered was generated by the normally aspirated flat six rated at 280hp
Finished in solid black (Schwarz) with Tan interior featuring Ruffled leather seats, condition is as ‘showroom
fresh’ as you are ever likely to see, the paint finish is factory Porsche original, all factory applied finishes
and stickers are present. Toolkit, tire compressor, spare tire bag and tire changing gloves are of course included
and unused. This car was optioned with a Tiptronic transmission, making it rarer still as only 41 cars were so
equipped.
Having just had a full service and maintenance update by the local Porsche main dealer it is on the button for the
new owner.

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 06 Jan 2014The misinformation first started back in May of 2007 - more than six years ago - when word came that Porsche was developing a compact utility vehicle to fill out its product line. Rumors swirled that the German automaker's future "Roxster" would be based on the then-upcoming Audi Q5. By September of 2010, the name had changed to "Cajun," but the vehicle was still expected to be "based heavily on the Audi Q5," said reports in the months that followed. One year later, the first test mules were spotted, the mechanics hidden beneath barely disguised Audi sheetmetal, which did nothing to give the upcoming model its own identity. And even after Porsche announced "Macan" as the vehicle's production name in early 2012, articles stated that it would "arrive on the same chassis as the Audi Q5, though with suspension, brake and engine tweaks suitable to the Porsche range."
It's no wonder that most still consider the all-new Porsche Macan nothing more than a heavily massaged Q5.
To help lift some of the mystery surrounding its latest release, Porsche hosted us in Germany for an in-depth look at its new crossover (while Europeans call it a "sport utility," its car platform allows us to call it a proper CUV). The technology workshop offered us insight to the design and mechanical execution, and it concluded with a short test ride. The trip was both enlightening and educational - and it left us with a whole new perspective on the Macan.
Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.
Porsche celebrates 50 years of 911s with limited edition model
Tue, 04 Jun 2013Despite being 50 years old now, the Porsche 911 sure is looking good for her age. And to commemorate this milestone anniversary, Porsche has created the 911 50 Years Edition you see here, which will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show - 50 years after the original 911 debuted at this very same expo.
What's really neat about the 50 Years Edition is that it houses a rear-wheel-drive setup inside of the wider body used for all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 and 4S models. Found at the back is the 3.8-liter flat-six from the Carrera S, upgraded with the Powerkit package that increases horsepower from 400 to 430 and includes the Sport Chrono setup. According to Porsche, hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 4.2 seconds with the seven-speed manual transmission, or 3.8 seconds with the optional dual-clutch PDK.
Visual changes include two special paint colors - a darker graphite grey and a lighter geyser grey - unique 20-inch wheels that pay homage to the original Fuchs rollers of the 1963 car, and special badging at the rear and on the door sills. Inside, there are more throwbacks to the original 911, with green labeling on the instruments, white pointer needles and silver accents. What's more, the leather seats feature a fabric insert reminiscent of the Pepita design from the '60s. Looks great to us.
