This is the 928GTS that served as inspiration and as a palette for many products that we have developed over the years for the 928 community. 


The highlights of this GTS are that it's in amazing condition and has some really nice upgrades. Always garaged or covered since I saw what too much sun can do to these interiors. Autocheck score is higher than many GTS's out there. I have the original owner's purchase certificate card from MCL Cars in Vancouver, and full service history since new. Projected valuation of the GTS is increasing, and justifiably so:   http://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/VehicleSearch/Report?vc=852016

The sound system has been fully upgraded to a multi-amp system with active or passive x-over (1 front, 1 rear, 1 rear low, 1 bridged subwoofer), Clarion deck with Dolby processing. Our subwoofer kit using the spare wheel as the cabinet is sealed with closed cell EVA under leather sub and amp panels.  Drivers are MTX gold and Pioneer Premier compact sub. Frequency tuned to match each speaker's range, it all sounds great, lots of punch with superb clarity.  Original stock wiring harnesses and plugs etc. were retained.

Other upgrades include - African Rosewood interior, bronze bezel kit, LED gauge, clock upgrade, SS shift plate, shifter with GTRSS. Remote (wireless) Key fob lock/unlocking and close-up feature. The Remote module is an engineered installation piggy-backed onto the factory alarm/lock module.   Pedal kit, Porsche raised lettering, GTS raised insignia on door sills. Leather luggage cover!  Carbon cold air intake, bronze oil cap with crest, engine raised lettering, SS exhaust tips.

We have full records, manuals and documentation and its maintenance service is up-to-date, recent cam belt, water-pump, new brakes. The VIN # is WP0AA2925PS 820073. Option codes listed are C36 139 340 418 650 691. The GTS is a rare Porsche, this example being one of a few in the province of British Columbia.

Under careful ownership, there are no remarkable events in the history of this GTS backed up by its CARFAX report. As with most 928's the body remains breathtakingly beautiful, all original factory paint. There is a small crack at the base of windscreen and in one of the foglamps is cracked (but sealed). But these are the original parts from the factory.  The only parts not original in the car are the motor mounts and steering rack but I had the original steering rack rebuilt expertly, and it is sold with the car.

This GTS has seen late spring, summer and fall usage, so there is no corrosion to the body or undercarriage to speak of.

The interior is in fine condition, both leather surfaces and carpet, having always had mats installed. We've taken care to protect the dash, door and hatch surfaces from UV exposure, covering the interior when parked outdoors during stopovers.

All upgrades that we have done may be returned to factory stock.

Sale includes original Audio CD-2 and Amp. No wiring was altered to install the audio system upgrade. Original door panel inserts, hatch carpet, spare panel, luggage net.

The Volkswagen Group switches official language to English

Wed, Dec 14 2016

The Volkswagen Group can't be fairly thought of as entirely German anymore, so the news that the company is switching its official language to English to help attract managers and executives is a rational, if surprising, decision. While many VW Group companies are still staidly German in character and culture, consider the other companies that it controls: Bentley (British), Bugatti (French), Ducati and Lamborghini (Italian), Skoda (Czech), Scania trucks (Swedish), and SEAT (Spanish). Not to mention the large Volkswagen Group of America operation, which constructs cars in Chattanooga, TN. Volkswagen's explicit motivation is to improve management recruitment – making sure the company isn't losing out on candidates for important positions because they can't speak German – and that's inherently sensible in a globalized economy. Particularly considering, like it or lump it, that English is the lingua franca of said global economy. It also should make it inherently easier to communicate between its world-wide subsidiaries and coordinate operations. It's hard to say for sure if this will have any impact on the consumer, although it's easy to see the benefits if, say, VW Group hires some American product planners or engineers and they push for features and designs that more closely suit American needs. After all, the US is a hugely important market for any manufacturer, and so the switch to English almost certainly has something to do with the outsized influence of the US in the global economy. And there doesn't seem to be a downside from a purely rational perspective, although it could mean that the Group's corporate culture becomes less German. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your perspective.

Mysterious Porsche 911 Cabriolet spied, could be GTS

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

While Porsche's designers can jokingly be accused of being some of the laziest in the industry due to the incremental changes to the 911's iconic design, no such charge can be leveled against the engineers and product planning folks. That's because it seems like each week arrives with news of a new variation of the marque's iconic rear-engined sports car. So, for this week, we've brought you images of what we think is the new 911 GTS Cabriolet, undergoing testing in a thawing winter wonderland.
Now, what is it that gives this 911 away, compared to standard convertible? Well, the big thing is the new offset, center-mounted exhausts. Borrowing a page from the last Volkswagen R32, these exhaust tips are unlike anything we've seen from Porsche. Only the GT3 wears center pipes, and unlike these spy photos, the twin pipes on the track-minded 911 are stacked neatly alongside each other. The other change spotted by our spies is the set of active-aerodynamic flaps in the front bumper, which can automatically channel air toward the brakes for increased cooling, or close off to reduce drag, as needed.
Those exhausts are a pretty big design detail, and so far as we can tell is the only differentiator between the other 911s in this car's posse. Our spies speculate that this could be a 911 Speedster, but point out that both the canvas roof and windshield remain unchanged - the rumored Speedster model would almost certainly feature a different roof assembly along with a steeply raked windshield.

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.
