1976 Porsche 912e (time capsule edition)
This is a very rare one-owner car with 158k miles. 99% original, including a circa 1975 “FuzzBuster” radar detector, Porsche designs driving glasses and driving gloves.
Car has a very rare color combo of Talbot Yellow (code 106) with red leather interior – only 10 of these were made!

I have never seen another Porsche with this color. The owner also special ordered this car with  rare and expensive “Sport Seats”. They have been redone at some point and need to be recovered back to factory leather.

This is a nice driver quality 912e that has been looked after. I purchased it from the 85 year old original owner who gave up driving it many years ago. It has been parked in his garage with a cover on it for a couple of decades. He or a family member started and regularly drove the car every month. He kept its registration and insurance current (I have all the documents going back 25 + years)

This 912e was a daily driver from April of 1976 to around 1984. In that time the owner put approx 80k miles on the car. The car was then regulated to backup car and then 3rd car. I bought the car in a three car package and need to liquidate these two.

The car is in driver quality shape. Many nicks and chips in the paint and the seats need to be redone.

No dings or dents but the car could use a repaint.

Car starts, runs and rides well for its age. Floors are perfect and is under the hood (no rust)

Clean Nevada title in hand (you will be the second registered owner)

As a nice bonus he passed onto me a few nice period accoutrements:
1. Original window sticker!
2. Owner’s manual
3. Manual for the original radio
4. All reg. cards for many, many years
5. Jack and un-used spare tire
6. 1975 circa “FuzzBuster” radar detector
7. Porsche designs driving glasses
8. Circa 1980’s driving gloves

It’s an original, nice running 912 that will continue to increase in value in this crazy market with a very unique and rare color combo.

Porsche finally moving ahead with flat four engine

Sun, 23 Mar 2014

When Porsche released the first Boxster in 1996 and the first Cayman in 2005, the idea was to create an entry-level model for the German automaker's sports car range. The latest iterations of both closely related models, however, have begun to encroach dangerously on the 911's territory, particularly in their newest GTS specifications. That could be about to change, however, with the introduction of a four-cylinder engine for the compact mid-engined coupe and roadster.
According to Automotive News, Porsche is finally preparing to launch a new boxer four engine in the Boxster and Cayman, following years of speculation. The engine would be based on the same architecture as the company's famous flat six, but with two fewer cylinders to cut weight. Don't expect it to cut much in the way of performance, however: Porsche chief Matthias Muller indicates that the new engine could produce as much as 395 horsepower - significantly more than even the 340hp flat six in the Cayman GTS, suggesting that the engine could even find its way into the 911 as well.
It's no more clear which markets would get the four-cylinder engine, either. But wherever it is offered and in whichever form, it wouldn't be the first time we'd see a Porsche with a four-pot engine. Not by a long shot. Both the classic 912 and 356 were powered by boxer fours, as was the 914 - not to mention the 718 pictured above and the iconic 550 Spyder. The front-engined 924, 944 and 968 packed inline-four engines, but the last of those were discontinued in the 1990s. The prospect of a four-cylinder Boxster/Cayman has been rumored for many years now, most recently joined by the possibility of a four-pot Macan as well.

Porsche 918 Spyder roars electric through London

Sun, Jun 29 2014

The Porsche 918 Spyder can be an object of lust for anyone who appreciates the finer things in the automotive world, but for us greenies with penchant for speed, the car is an icon. This gorgeous, all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid offers 887 horsepower and 940 pound-feet of torque, can do 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds and is capable of 214 miles per hour. It lapped the Nurburgring in a record 6:57. Still, it is capable of near-silent, relaxed cruising through one of Europe's busiest cities. In a new video from Porsche, chief driving instructor Gordon Robertson takes the 918 to London and does just that. While driving in E-Power mode, he describes some of the things that make the car special, as well as how the technology has developed through the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the 919 LMP1 car to eventually be passed onto the Panamera S E-Hybrid. If you're interested, you can learn more about the car in our own drive review, here. It's great to see, for the first time, the 918 Spyder driving alongside London's black cabs and double-decker buses. The rubbernecking from pedestrians is noticeable and completely understandable. I'm sure we'd all love to see this car come silently sneaking down our own city streets, but until Porsche makes that happen, you'll just have to enjoy the video below.

Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Jack Olsen has built himself a lair called the 12-Gauge Garage, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II. Although it looks like one of Stuttgart's models from the sixties or seventies, it is actually four decades of 911 gubbins from 1965 to 2000 thrown under one shell: the lightweight body is from 1972, the transaxle from 1977, the brakes from a 1986 Turbo, the engine from 1995, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and it's got 272 horsepower to get it going, but it's still a pure Porsche, Olsen saying, "If you stop thinking about what you're doing, it will remind you in very abrupt ways."
Olsen said the real point has been to have one car that does it all, so he does everything in his 911 from neighborhood runs to 7-11 to track racing - he loads the aero bits in the car and bolts them on trackside. And he says he'll never stop tweaking the suspension.
You can watch and hear the rest in Olsen's words in the video below.
