The 997 4s really is a fantastic every day sports car with blistering, but usable performance, that is delivered through a raw and emotional driving experience. This is especially true when compared to the newer 991 that heralded the introduction of aids like PASM, electric steering, and, more recently turbos across the entire line. This carefully maintained example tops that off with upgrades that take that feeling to the next level. The 3.8L M97 howls at upper RPMs through the awesome sounding Speedtech exhaust that has to be heard. Its perfect - not too loud and not too quiet, zero drone, and presents the perfect balance between harmonic pitch and depth. This engine has fantastic character that subsequent DFI engines cant match. The combination of the OEM short-shift kit and the Numeric shift linkage cables have also resulted in rifle-bolt gear changes that slide into gear with a fantastic click. A complete list of upgrades includes:OEM 997 Short Shift kitOEM 997 GT3 RS Rear BumperOEM 997 Turbo wing with top blade delete (original wing available)OEM 997 Brake Light delete panel (with use of the Turbo wing brake light, original available)OEM lighted Carrera 4s door sillsOEM clear side markersOEM Spare tire kit and tools in the trunkOEM 997 Turbo shifter knobOEM Factory painted dashboard trim, door handles, door pull and shifter trimHeated seatsNumeric aluminum shifter cablesHRE P40SC - 19 with Michelin PS2 in stock sizes (2,000 miles on this package)BBS 18 winter wheels and Michelin Alpin tires (spacers included with sale)Titanium lug boltsSpeedtech center exit exhaust with 200 cell cats with matte carbon fiber tips (original exhaust parts front lipExtended leather door sills, center console, coin tray, and shifter trimDenison bluetooth music streaming and phone call Breakdown: The car needs nothing and has been maintained with an open checkbook. Any service and repair work was done as needed but other than the shifter cables (common 997 problem), the water pump (replaced as the pulley was looking tired), and the door locks (mechanism wouldnt lower the windows on one side but we decided to change both in case the other was going to go as well), the car has just needed regular 5k mile oil and filter changes. The only thing I havent tracked down is that the PCM will flicker or shut off for 10 mins or so about 2-3 times a year. As it comes back on pretty quickly, it hasnt bothered me too much. Otherwise, I am pretty obsessive about my cars so this 997 has received constant attention. Rear brakes are at around 15% so thats the next maintenance item. Notable maintenance history includes:Purchased at Porsche Springfield, MAAlways serviced at Porsche Westwood, MAAll maintenance records availableDoor locks and window mechanisms replaced at 55,000Water pump replaced at 57,00060,000 mile service completed in March 2016 including spark plug flushed and seals replaced at 61,000All records, books, and keys are available. Cosmetic Breakdown: The car is as close to perfect as you will find for a 997. The interior buttons and switches all work as they should with no visible discoloration common with this vintage. The windshield took a pebble that created a little nick in the glass 3 years ago. That pebble also left a 1-inch scratch on the front roof but its not very noticeable. Otherwise, the car has gotten regular details and washes and the paint shines very well. If you are looking for a 997, the car Total 911 magazine said is the best 911 generation ever with namesakes like the revered GT2 RS, GTS, or Speedster, this is one to seriously consider.

Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.
Jack Olsen built a Porsche 911 to drive every day and conquer Willow Springs
Mon, Dec 15 2014Almost two years ago we wrote about the 12-Gauge Garage Jack Olsen built to house his multifarious Porsche 911 - its 1972 bodywork hides four decades of Porsche parts, like the transaxle from a 1977 911 and the engine from 1995 911, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and has 272 horsepower, and Olsen uses it daily driving and for track days, the latter excursions featuring homemade, bolt-on aero parts. German magazine Auto Bild stopped by Olsen's house to look in on the Porsche called "Black Beauty II," and we get a few more details about the mods he's made, like swapping out for fiberglass body panels and welding Fuchs wheel centers to wider Corvette barrels so he could run different tires. Most importantly, though, Olsen divulges his passion for lowering his lap time at Willow Springs. Randy Pobst set the lap record for a production car around the 2.5-mile Big Willow track in a Porsche 918 Spyder at 1:23.54 during a Motor Trend test (the outright record, according to Willow Springs, is held by Michael Andretti at 1:06.050 in a CART car). Further down the list, Steve Millen drove a 415-hp 911 GT3 RS around the same track in 1:33.14 - a car 600 pounds heavier than Olsen's. Over the past 14 years of tinkering with his car, Olsen says his data shows his lap time is now down to 1:26.88, achieved on the day of filming the Auto Bild video. That time would put him in between the 1:26 flat posted by Dominik Farnbacher in a 608-hp Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR and the 1:28.93 put up by Pobst in a 400-hp, 991-series 911. You can hear Olsen tell it in his own words in the video.
Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera
Sat, 22 Mar 2014When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
