Its mid-engine and impeccable handling evokes Porsche's legendary race cars, such as the 550 Spyder, the RSK, and the 904 GTS! With an air-cooled, economical VW 4 cylinder engine, the 914 was considered the “People’s Porsche” but their big twin brothers, the ill-fated 914-6 and 916 were genuine Supercars in their time. Now over 40-years old, pristine, original 914-6’s are rapidly appreciating with 6-figure price tags and a 916 (only eleven built) may fetch 7 figures! Although the 914 and 914-6 had an advanced body, their 1.7 to 2.0 liter engines (both 4 and 6-cylinder versions) were under powered, the brakes were too small, shifting was vague and the bodies weren’t as rigid as the 911 coupe. As such, people began modifying 914s ever since they started rolling off the assembly line. Unfortunately, many were saddled with heavy, V-8 engines, butchered and molested beyond recognition (and desirability) with fiberglass make-up kits. But when the best 911 components and most costly upgrades are faithfully integrated into its perfectly balanced chassis, the metamorphosis is a proper 914-6 “Tribute” car which--in many ways--is better than the real thing. Not surprisingly, perhaps, resale values for nice 914-6 conversions are also strong and finding one of the top 1% examples is like winning the lottery. Here's one! Built-up from a four cylinder 914 shell, this car was highly upgraded with a long list expensive performance components and modifications including full racing suspension, genuine Fuchs alloy wheels and a rebuilt, 2.4-liter 911 flat six engine! The current owner is a mature, prominent businessman who keeps the car covered and sheltered in his “man cave” among a private collection of museum quality Porsches. During his ownership, (less than 800 miles ago) the car was mechanically “perfected” and the interior was completely re-upholstered in full leather with Dynamat lining throughout the car and plush cut-pile carpeting. No expense was spared with upgraded power windows, door locks, keyless entry and a Bluetooth audio system. All receipts are available in PDF and can be emailed or faxed to you. Hence, a unique opportunity arises to obtain a coveted “6”; one that was pampered beyond belief by a mature owner with big pockets and the willingness to pay up for the best service and upgrades money can buy. Let's check out this dream find now, inside and out! From a distance, this Porsche is indistinguishable from a factory original 914-6 however when you get up-close, some very subtle but costly improvements can be appreciated. Painted in 2-stage enamel, the stone-gray finish is lustrous and smooth with only minimal signs of use. The car is equipped with the desirable "Appearance Group," consisting of chrome bumpers with fog lights up front and FUCHS light alloy wheels. Euro side markers are a nice addition Striking the perfect blend of the classic 914-6 and ultra-rare 916 supercar; the targa roof was painstakingly soothed and color finished to match the stone-gray color, a salute to the 916. The Targa top can be stowed inside the rear trunk to facilitate unrestricted open-air pleasures. With or without the top, this Porsche looks striking. There are no door dings, only few blems and rock chips to report. Porsche rolls on genuine 15-inch FUCHS wheels with YOKOHAMA S-drive 195/50R15 Radials While we’re down on one knee, let’s have a look underneath. More important than shiny paint is a healthy undercarriage. Everything below, including the front and rear suspension, looks marvelous as well. It's damage free, clean as a whistle. Most importantly, there is absolutely NO evidence of corrosion, collision damage or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights. Let's have a peak under the hood. Being a mid-engine car, this Porsche has two trunks: one in the front, and one in the back. The front trunk is surprisingly spacious. For safety reasons, Porsche placed the fuel tank amidships.
ID Plate provides valuable information about the car’s original options and trim. In the rear trunk, German engineering genius: Targa top is designed to stow away safely inside, still leaving plenty of space underneath! Original jack is stored here. Full Dynamat lining was installed throughout the entire car and provides superior sound deadening for a cool and quiet cabin. The brand new, fully upgraded leather interior exudes a fantastic aroma; let's investigate! Custom bucket seats were lowered to provide plenty of head and leg room, even for 6'6"-tall NBA players. "Pristine" is the only way to describe them properly. Even the dash is covered and stitched in supple leather. Note the leather grip, Momo steering wheel. The iconic gauge cluster featuring three large, circular, white-on-black dials with bright orange pointers is a timeless design. You can't improve upon perfection! The $2000 6-speaker Bluetooth audio system was installed at Car Stereo Warehouse in Anaheim, CA.
All instruments work, including the upgraded 911 VDO gauges mounted in center. The power windows, door locks, and remote locking bring this Porsche into the 21st century. The remote locking system automatically raises the windows, locks the doors and sets the alarm. 2 keys with remotes are included. From the carpets to the rubber seals; everything about this custom leather interior reflects a passionate owner who spared no expense to create this one-of-a-kind, Porsche! How about a quick peek inside the engine compartment? The Mad Dog Bulkhead Mount is the optimum conversion to house this indestructible 2.4-Liter 911 engine. It runs excellent, delivering 125 strong Teutonic horses at 5,900rpm. Woo-Hoo!! The twin, triple-throat Weber 40MM are perfectly tuned. Engine's bottom end; dry and clean, there's not a single oil leak to note. Recently serviced at the dealer, this Porsche is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically. Speaking of cosmetics, let us stress how immaculate the body is, how sparkling the chrome bumpers, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at a 4-year old, not a 40-year old car. This one is that clean! Drivability: Piloting this well sorted, SuperPorsche is nothing short of exhilarating! 914's seating position is low, like that of an Alpine A110, Mini Cooper, or monoposto, but there's plenty of room, even for tall drivers. The 6-cylinder power plant starts easily and revs willingly from idle to redline. There are no untoward noises, no fluid leaks and no surprises. The car runs, drives, shifts, corners, and stops perfectly. Very docile around town, but on the open highway the acceleration is mind-blowing. 914's mid-engine configuration provides very neutral handling characteristics. The enhanced suspension modifications easily handle the larger, higher horsepower engine; making the perfect road and track synthesis! Transmission is Porsche's legendary Type 901 5-speed manual unit, with its racing-derived shift pattern. It shifts smoothly in all gears and the clutch has perfect grip. Naturally, a super clean Porsche like this one is a prime attention getter, garnering excited comments wherever you go. From the air-cooled engine to the clock, everything works as intended. Recently serviced, (receipts included) there's nothing left to do but to drive and enjoy! You will not see another 914-6 conversion coming even close to this particular specimen. It's a pristine car, inside and out and with proper care it can be driven forever, or until you are ready to pass it on to the next generation. Presently, we have a clear, CA Title.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS spec sheet leaked, promises 500 hp
Mon, Feb 23 2015Axis of Oversteer has three pages of what's purported to be the spec sheet for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and it's got a few bolded items noting key differences with the already spectacular 911 GT3. Prime among them is its output, pegged at exactly 500 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque, which looks at first blush to be a minor bump: just 25 hp and 14 lb-ft over the GT3, and the redline drops 200 rpm to 8,800 rpm. If the document is accurate, though, there will be a hefty dose of weight loss to make the most of it. The bodyshell and doors are aluminum, carbon fiber reinforced plastic is used for those vented front fenders (the vanes are plastic), the front trunklid, the rear engine cover, and the rear wing, while the roof is made of magnesium and the side windows are polycarbonate. The bucket seats, door entry guards, and other interior trim pieces are also fashioned from CFRP, and it gets lightweight door panels with pull-loops. Elsewhere around the coupe, the body grows wider by 50 millimeters in front and 30 mm in back over a track that's 36 mm wider. There's a pit-lane speed limiter for track days, tinted taillights, an optional Clubsport package with a six-point seatbelt, and GT3 RS logos everywhere. It's looking more and more like this car was developed to define the word "epic."

Porsche stalls on Ferrari 458 rival
Mon, 17 Nov 2014A few years ago, reports surfaced that Porsche was planning a new supercar. But the latest intel suggests that the plan has been put indefinitely on the back burner.
The project alternately referred to as 960 or 988 was put forth by CEO Matthias Müller shortly after he assumed control of the German automaker. It called for a mid-engined V8 supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder to take on the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren 650S and sister-company Lamborghini's Gallardo and subsequent Huracán.
Now three years since the idea was first mooted, the vehicle has yet to materialize. According to Autocar, Porsche is putting a greater emphasis on refreshing its existing lineup. Which is probably just as well, because the mid-engined supercar would have a heck of a challenge on its hands to differentiate itself in terms of performance from the 911 GT3 and 911 Turbo, which already give the 458 and company a run for their money.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
