Porsche 912 Karmann Coupe, burgundy with a black interior, 5 speed gearbox.
110,000 miles on the odometer. The car just came out of a long term ownership.
It was off the road for a while. I was told by the previous owner that the
engine was completely rebuilt some years ago, although I do not have any
records to back up this claim. The front
floors look good but there is rust holes on the rear area including the floors
as you can see in the pictures. There are some rust bubbles by the top of the
drivers’ side fender and the passenger side rear fender. The paint has some
blemishes. Glass is good all the way around. The interior
seems to be all original but there are cracks on the seats and it is showing
its age. 1968 Porsche
912 factory paint code reads 15163-L. This is not only a unique and special
order color for this 912 but is a rare and unique car since Porsche didn't have
a paint code of 15163 in 1968. The COA states that it was Champagne Yellow, a
special ordered paint with paint code 16153. Since this was a special ordered
paint, when they stamped the factory paint plate "kunstharzlack" they
transposed the numbers. This is a unique mistake and one that never seemed to
happen at the Porsche factory nor go un-noticed at the Porsche production
facility. With our research, this seems to be the only car we have found that
has this unique characteristic. You can still see the original Champagne Yellow
color through many spots on the car. Mechanically,
we just got the car running and driving but it is not roadworthy. Comes with spare
tire and jack. An excellent
candidate for cosmetic restoration. These 912 SWB’s are appreciating in value
rapidly. Any questions welcome. For more pictures please visit us at http://mbvintagecars.com/default.php or call Frank Sajjad at 2166452100. (We can help to make arrangements for worldwide shipping.)

Porsche already considering even more hardcore Cayman GT4 RS?
Fri, Mar 6 2015We're not sure what kind of person would look at the new Porsche Cayman GT4 and say "that's not enough," but we're sure they're out there. And to satisfy just such a customer, Porsche could very well offer a GT4 RS version in the future. "This is just the beginning of the era. I would be interested in doing a Cayman GT4 RS version, but at the moment we didn't even talk about such a thing. If the customers call for something like this we could think about it." These are the words of Andreas Preuninger, speaking with Evo at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show this week. As head of Porsche's GT line, Preuninger and his team are responsible for creating hardcore track models like the 911 GT3, the new 911 GT3 RS and – for the first time – the new Cayman GT4. Clearly buoyed by the early success of the GT4, Prenuninger is already looking towards the next step. Considering that the existing model already packs a 3.8-liter flat six with 385 horsepower and the manual transmissions so many GT3 fans miss, we're not sure how much more they could get out of the Cayman – but we'll sure enjoy watching them try.
Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911
Thu, Apr 7 2016Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell
Wed, 24 Apr 2013You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
