1986 Porsche 944
Rothmans Challenge Factory Cup Model ·
This is
1 of 31 factory Cup models specifically built for the 1986 Rothmans Challenge
– the first year of the Cup series
(first with 944s in the 80s then with 911s in the 90s) ·
The
Rothmans Challenge’s competitors include top Canadian drivers such as Kees
Nierop, Scott Goodyear, Ludwig Heimrath, Paul Tracy ·
Major
sponsors were Rothmans, Shell, Pirelli, Sunice ·
I
legally shipped it from Canada in 2009 as a body with engine, tranny partially
installed. The suspension was also
partially done as a roller. The car came
with spares and other mechanical bits ·
Restoration/build
was finished in 2010 by Fordahl Motorsports.
I have a three ring binder showing receipts and photos during the build o
The
headers are the rare Cup only spec that were used for the Rothmans series o
The
door panels are also original o
The
roll cage is the original with modified side impact protection for safety purposes o
In
other words, we took the effort to keep the car as original (Rothmans Challenge
Series) as possible ·
I have
the certificate of authenticity from Porsche (showing that it's a Cup model) as
well as VIN and DOT/EPA documentation from Porsche North America. I was
able to legally register this car for the street. It even passed smog in
WA. This is one of most recent street-registered historic race cars - something
typically reserved for pre-68 cars ·
Most
importantly, I have the CASC logbook and number plate tying its history in the
Canadian Rothmans Challenge with Matthewson (1986) and Walter Surma (1987).
It also raced in a few Firehawk Endurance races in 1988. There are
a few Rothmans cars out there, but without logbooks to verify its history.
I also have period photos during 86 Rothmans series ·
Since
restoration, it has been only raced one weekend per year including Portland
Rose Cup, SCCA vintage/ITS and Rennsport Reunion IV ·
Speaking
of RR IV, this is the only 944 historic race car accepted at the most recent
Rennsport Reunion in Laguna Seca. Great event to experience with all the
historic cars ·
A newly
rebuilt ITS-spec engine has recently been installed and is going through its
break-in period. No race or track miles
on the new engine. Engine was built by
Fordahl Motorsports. ·
The tranny
was newly built just prior to Rennsport Reunion IV. Spare tranny is also
rebuilt ·
Spare
parts: various wheels (including 7 Simmons wheels which is proper period spec
for the series, set of 7x16” Fuchs, set of 15” cookie cutter magnesium wheels
with one race-old Hoosier R6s), original transmission (freshly rebuilt) and
engine block, door, and various misc. pieces ·
The
wheels on the car as ran at RR are Simmons V5 wheels with 16” Hoosier R6s ·
The car
is currently in the Seattle area ·
Although
I have and still immensely enjoy this car after owning it for close to 6 years;
I recently purchased another race car in my bucket list. Hence, I’m selling the Rothmans. |

2015 Porsche Macan S
Thu, 31 Jul 2014I'd be willing to bet that 99 percent of all Porsche Macan owners will never take their vehicle on a track or see any more off-roading than a dirt path to a summer cottage, yet I maintain that there is no better venue to explore the absolute outer limits of the automaker's newest small family transport than on a racing circuit and an off-road course. It's testing at each extreme of the vehicle's operating envelope, with both challenges requiring very different capabilities. With that in mind, and looking forward to dirty floor mats and corded tires, I jumped at the opportunity from Porsche to wring out its new Macan S at Willow Springs International Raceway, located in Southern California's high desert.
The range-topping Macan Turbo (base price $72,300 plus $995 destination), with its 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 gets most of the glory these days. But many, including myself, would argue that its slightly less powerful sibling, the Macan S, is actually the pick of the new litter. Despite having 60 fewer horses under the hood and giving up six-tenths of a second in the sprint to 60 miles per hour, it costs a massive $22,400 less - money better spent on equipment that improves the crossover's ride comfort and capability, or perhaps a well-used Boxster for weekends.
Despite a reasonably attractive starting price of $49,900 (plus destination), very few Porsche buyers will leave the showroom with a base model. My Dark Blue Metallic Macan S tester was equipped with a slew of mechanical upgrades, including air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), Sport Chrono Package and 21-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels. A Premium Package and a few other miscellaneous options bloated its price to $69,870. That's a very steep price for the premium compact crossover segment, but it's still less than a base Macan Turbo.

Porsche expects to hit 200k sales target 3 years early
Fri, Jan 9 2015When Porsche launched the Cayenne, enthusiasts and purists – in between fits of rage – rationalized the SUVs existence by imagining that the money it brought in would guarantee the company's continued ability to produce the many beloved versions of its 911. The same was said when the Panamera arrived, and again when the Macan was unveiled. What probably wasn't imagined when these three more mainstream vehicles joined the Porsche catalog, was how dramatic an impact they'd have on the company's sales figures. The company expects 2015 to be a banner year, as it aims to hit a 200,000-unit sales goal three years ahead of schedule. Porsche sold nearly 190,000 units in 2014, a gain of 17 percent over 2013, while its year-over-year sales for December were up 39 percent. Considering Porsche made these gains before the full impact of the new Macan could be felt, it's no wonder the company is so keen on 2015. Porsche has already moved 45,000 Macans, which would be impressive on its own, were it not for the way the CUV is elevating the brand. According to a report from Reuters, two-thirds of the company's Macan deliveries have been to first-time Porsche customers. Considering these two facts, it will be extremely interesting to see the impact Porsche's newest model has on its sales over a full calendar year.
