1968 Porsche 912 Swb-solid Arizona Car-rare A/c Car-last Owner Since 1991! Coa! on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
1968 Porsche 912 Coupe Background: The Porsche 912 was a sports car that was manufactured by a company by the name of Porsche between the years of 1965 and 1969. It was built as an entry level vehicle for those who craved a 911, but could not afford the cost. The 912 is a very well balanced vehicle, and would be considered a nimble-handling compact performance four-seat vehicle. The 912's flat four cylinder engine made 90 horsepower at 5800 rpm, and was capable of delivering 30 miles per gallon. This was due to the low weight, and low drag of the vehicle. Making the 912 the best of both worlds in terms of sports cars, the stylish look of a 911 and the gas mileage of modern day Prius. At one time the 912 grew so popular that it was able to out sell its counterpart, the 911!
The 912 is a great weekend cruising vehicle, it may not have a lot of power but it sure will capture the envy of all your neighbors! This 912 spent almost its entirelife in the southweastern part of the United States, and has been residing in Arizona since 1991 when the last owner purchased the car. It is a very, very solid car with all original sheet metal floor pans. The car was originally order in Tangerine (6809) with Black Leatherette interior. However, it was repainted in the 90's to the black that you see before you. This is a matching numbers car, and the mileage is actual at 62K. This 912 also features very rare option of air conditioning. Other options that were ordered at the time of purchase would be: Tinted Glass All Around, Bumper Horns-F/R, Antenna, 'Koni' Shock Absorbers, Ventilated Chrome Wheels, and Semperit Tires (165/15). However, the Chrome Wheels were switched to a factory set of Fuch wheels some time in the past. Recent work to the vehicle includes an engine rebuild, and a complete carb rebuild.

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race
Fri, 10 Oct 2014We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.

2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is a 911 Turbo for the family man
Thu, 21 Nov 2013In the event that the Porsche Panamera Turbo's 520 horsepower and 189-mile-per-hour top speed aren't enough to sate the appetite of the speed freak, Porsche has just given the auto show debut to the faster, more powerful Panamera Turbo S.
With 570 horsepower being pumped from a 4.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, the Panamera Turbo S promises even faster acceleration, hitting 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement over the standard Turbo. The top speed, meanwhile, climbs to 192 mph, which is kind of ridiculous for a car with four doors and a trunk.
Other enhancements that come with this Panamera's extra syllable include carbon-ceramic brakes and the entirety of Porsche's active chassis systems, including Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and Porsche Active Suspension Management. The performance goodies come standard, but that doesn't mean the Panamera Turbo S is cheap.
