This car was originally, built by a friend 2 years ago, for a track car, major suspension work...( bilstien shocks, weltmiester 250lb springs, bushings, alignment,camber mods, 3 in front lower, 2 inch rear lower....a very stiff car, that is perfect straight, at 120mph, even if you take your hands, off the wheel.....the engine was also tweeked a bit...Head milled, New valves, timing belt, tensioners,main bearings , water pump etc...runs awesome....a High flow Radiator was installed, belts, Hoses, and a Faster throttle response cam....Although The Guys, at German Specialties, near Tampa, are some seriously talented tech's, they aren't a Body or restoration shop....So the car looks pretty on film, but has paint imperfections, a few small dents, and dings....all in all, a 10 footer....the car was disassembled for paint, and quality materials were definitely used.....its not a concourse job, but it is awesome to drive, brakes, engine, steering, etc....awesome fun Oh yeah....she also has a racing clutch, pressure plate etc, so it is one grabby puppy, but is easy to get used to and only takes a few miles to get the hang of it...as a final note...I put a bit of carbon fiber accent, on the doors, and front splitter, the speakers are all new, and the Cd player is awesome...a very quality sound
the interior, is actually rather nice for its age, front carpets, are nice, rear carpet, is new, rear seats, have no tears, and center console is very well cared for...the dash was cracked all over ,..so I put a cover on it, and the front seats were worn, and a nice expensive pair of sheepskins...fixed em right up....so there you have it....she is a blast to drive, all lights, signals, blowers, etc work nice....the non power steering, is easy, and smooth as can be imagined....the AC delete, surely allows more torque, and the loud ..free flow exhaust, sounds like music any any RPM....I put the Baffled tip on, because it was enough to ring your ears, at speed, and that did the trick for noise.....I bought this car, because my friend, needed money, and thought it would be a good fit for me.....I love it....However,.. Im in need of money....lots of medical bills, disability dragging on 2 years....you get the Idea...The car however never made it to the track....Other projects, finances, and since I knew who built it...I couldn't resist buying her...
there are a few interior trims missing..,right door pocket, sunroof access panel...canvas cargo cover...rear belts....that's about it...and the Fog lights....I put new bulbs, headlights, fan sensor..Alt belt...but that's about it...I recently drove her to Jacksonville, and back/ about 500 miles....easy breezy...no problems...there are 16X9 rear, and 16X8 front rims...they are flawless, and new.... a few monthes old...Tires are good, however the fronts are about 1/2 life....that's about it other than the fender
When I came out of the store a few weeks ago, some kind soul hit the right fender, and drove away...its not a difficult fix, but I don't have the money, and Ive knocked 500 off the starting price to reflect that.....This is one helluva solid car,and the guy who built her is one talented tech...good luck, and don't hesitate to email me with questions...thanks,

2015 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S gets faster, more powerful [w/video]
Tue, Jan 13 2015Porsche just isn't letting development of the Cayenne Turbo S cease. The 2014 edition was unveiled at last year's Detroit Auto Show boasting 550 horsepower from the brand's 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8, and it could hit 60 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds to a 175 mph top speed. Those seemed like very impressive specs for an SUV, but only a year later, the German brand has revealed an even more powerful take on its flagship trim in the model lineup. The 2015 Cayenne Turbo S now makes 562 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque from the same V8. The key to seeing such a significant boost in grunt so quickly is that the two turbos are now integral and are located directly in the exhaust manifolds. Porsche's eight-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox still routes power to all four wheels. All of the tweaks let the SUV hit 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds and a 176 mph to speed. Stopping should come quite rapidly too thanks to 16.5-inch diameter ceramic brake discs up front with 10-piston calipers. Of course, the Cayenne needs to be able to put that added grunt to good use. Porsche claims that the model can lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:59.74. Comparatively, the 550-hp Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR previously touted its SUV 'Ring lap record with a circuit in 8:14 in 2014. The Turbo S doesn't try hard to show off its added prowess, though. Up front, the bumper and undersides of the door mirrors are done in high-gloss black paint. Meanwhile, the roof spoiler and wheel arches are body color. The 21-inch wheels with black edges provide a little flash, and LED headlights are standard. The interior should be comfy too with black and creme leather and carbon fiber accents. The whole package rings up for $157,300, plus $995 destination and delivery, and US deliveries start in late April. Check it out in Porsche's video below. This content is hosted by a third party.

The new Cayenne Turbo S The top athlete among SUVs At the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Porsche is also introducing the new Cayenne Turbo S – the top model of the sporty SUV model series. Its re-engineered 4.8-liter V8 biturbo engine now develops 570 hp (419 kW) and 800 Nm (590 ft lb) of torque. A chassis that is tuned for maximum driving dynamics and packs a wide range of control systems also makes the Cayenne Turbo S a genuine top athlete.
Best compact SUVs of 2022
Thu, Oct 20 2022Compact SUVs are now the go-to choice for family transportation. Actually, considering how popular they are, they have clearly moved beyond only family duty. With such popularity, though, comes an awful lot of competitors, and it can be difficult to figure out which one might be the best compact SUV for you. It's important to note that by "compact SUV" we're talking about a specific segment. As we describe in our more comprehensive "Best small SUVs" list, there are also subcompact SUVs that vary widely in size amongst themselves, but are clearly smaller than the SUVs below. Frankly, today's segment of compact SUVs isn't exactly compact — some have more cargo space than vehicles that are considered midsize based on their exterior dimensions. They've all grown considerably over the years. While many lists out there just rattle off every vehicle available in a segment, we thought we'd be a bit more helpful and curate your shopping a bit with the top-recommended choices reviewed by Autoblog. We've included both mainstream and compact luxury SUV choices. Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024 2024 Honda CR-V Why it stands out: Best-in-class space; excellent hybrid powertrain; sharp interior style; Honda dependabilityCould be better: No lower-price base trim levels; no sporty or off-road niche models; no plug-in hybrid Read our full 2024 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search, and look extra closely at the superb CR-V Hybrid option. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, strong-yet-efficient engines, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, and well-regarded reliability. It's easy to see why it continues to be such a best-seller: for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it checks every box. That's been the case for many years now, however. The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V changes things up by adding a bit more style and character, particularly in terms of its interior design and how surprisingly enjoyable the Sport and Sport Touring hybrid trim levels are to drive.
Former Top Gear crew starts filming for Amazon show
Wed, Oct 7 2015We might have only a hint at the name and no exact date for a premiere, but fans can celebrate that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are filming once again. Plus, it looks like every cent of Amazon's reportedly lavish budget is being put on the screen. A photo tweeted by Clarkson shows the three hosts standing proudly in front of a Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 at a racetrack. Clarkson jokes that the show has just a "skeleton crew" but behind him stand several dozen people, a sophisticated-looking camera rig, and two big trucks. This definitely looks worth the anticipation of the premiere on Amazon Prime next fall. Hammond tweeted the same picture and wrote: "The band is back together and it feels brilliant."

Intriguingly, it appears that fellow British auto journalist Chris Harris is currently filming at the same track. He tweeted a photo to Clarkson of the McLaren doing a very smoky slide, while being followed by the other two hypercars. The Porsches in both photos wear the same red-and-white number 3 livery and have the same license plate number. In a later message, Harris was also clear that he wasn't filming there in connection with the trio's Amazon show. This content is hosted by a third party.
