This 928 S4 is a 5 sp, has the 220:1 final drive, with the LSD differential , rare and wanted option on these cars . Creates smooth, long pulling shifts. Cruse 70 mph @ 2150 rpms. All things work as they should. lights,a/c power controls est. EXCEPT FOR: 1.)Heater temp. control, it gets hot, turns off too. But not tunable, (except by fan speed, there fine and venting changes fine too). 2.) Just this month, the driver door handle stopped opening the door gradually? Found on the web where it is an adjustable bar/shaft. (turnbuckle) with a lock nut that probably unlocked, not typical for 928's not a big problem. 3.( dash cracks are typical and this one is showing cracks. We all know that the 150.00 dash caps (not the carpet covers) look good and go on easy, Did a 280 Z yrs ago and I was thrilled. The interior over all in good condtion no rubbed raw spots or tears. The exterior has miner chips, front and front of the mirrors. One weird spot on the roof, car has older second paint job, its smooth tho? and all paint is shiny. And last thing , the left rear corner looks a little bumped , never saw it till the first wash. The free vehicle history may expose something for us all. I don't drive the car hard, but I do enjoy wide mountain freeway driving with this car. AFTER MARKET : steering wheel is Porsche, but not 928. I remember the price(630.00) but think its from the 911 line . The rims are nice, left rear very lite rash spot. fronts: 18x9 ,rear are 18x10 inch. tire size 11''wide rears 295/30 zr 18's. front 9.'' wide , 225/40zr 18's . Exhaust, stock except for the new X pipe( 30 hp) and pair of s.s. cats, making a low V8 rumble. good alpine single cd player. calls, ok , any time , Im hard to reach but will surely call you back, I work 12 hr shifts and turn the ringer off till I get up. thank you , bill / 541-680-0053

Audi's Project Artemis woes could delay range of VW Group EVs
Tue, Jul 19 2022Two years ago, Audi's then new CEO Markus Duesmann announced his first big initiative called Project Artemis. The plan's marquee component is "to implement a new lighthouse project for Audi in record time," being "a highly efficient electric car scheduled to be on the road as early as 2024" on a brand new platform that would be shared with Porsche and Bentley. An ex-VW and -Porsche man named Alex Hitzinger, who'd also spent time at Apple working on the tech company's electric car, was brought on board to lead Project Artemis and come up with new ideas. Parent Volkswagen Group said it wanted to become "as agile as in a racing team," removing the bureaucratic molasses and bottlenecks interfering with getting the best product on the road in the best time. However, in any grand venture, failure comes before success. Automobilwoche reports that Artemis is struggling through issues large enough to push the product plans back by years. The issue, as it was with the ID.3 lineup on the eve of that car's launch, is software. Well, that's the latest, largest problem; Artemis has already been through copious struggles before getting to the software bit. Two months after Hitzinger came on, in December 2020, VW raised its EV volume target from 50% to 70% by 2030. That necessitated a rethink of the VW Group's entire platform strategy considering the far greater production scale. Hitzinger only lasted six months in the job, ousted in May 2021, supposedly because Audi believed his ideas were "not suitable for profitable series production" among other reasons. By that time, the pace of software development was already said to be six months behind schedule, with the Car.Software division working on VW.OS 2.0 "not yet running at the speed hoped for." Internal frictions were noteworthy and costly as well. VW's commercial division plant in Hanover was meant to build Artemis vehicles for Audi, Porsche and Bentley, but Automobilwoche reported in January of this year that Porsche paid a ""small three-digit million amount" — like $100 million or so — to get out of the deal mandating its vehicles come from the Hanover facility.  So Audi effectively brought Artemis in-house to lead vehicle development, and Car.Software turned into Cariad to get VW.OS and VW.AC, which stands for Automotive Cloud, to market. The first Audi vehicle under Project Artemis was planned to arrive by the end of 2024, a production version of the Grandsphere concept.
Remembering Porsche's illustrious Le Mans history
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Not only does this weekend mark the running of the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will also see the return of one of the race's most venerable brands to the top tiers of endurance racing. Porsche will campaign its first top-flight car since the 1998 911 GT1-98, the 919 Hybrid, at this weekend's race, in the hopes of knocking off its corporate rival, the dominant Audi team.
To understand just what a win for the 919 would mean, though, you need to look back on the intrinsic connection between the Circuit de la Sarthe and Porsche. It's a history that spans decades, dating back to the team's first win in 1970.
XCar has a great video on that history. At 25 minutes, it's a bit on the long side. Then again it is the Friday before Le Mans. Take a look below for the video.
Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
