I’m the fourth owner of this well-kept 944 Turbo. It’s completely stock with the exception of the stereo and wheels. The first two owners drove it sparingly, averaging around 4000-4500 miles/year. With about 84,000 miles on the clock, the third owner picked it up in 2005 and took it on a trip from CA to Vegas. A post-purchase inspection revealed a few leaks that had developed over the years and he started working on a plan to pull it apart and make it like new again. Fast forward to 2008 – the economy had crashed and he still hadn’t started on the reseal and rebuild as he wanted. He decided to finally tackle it and thought that taking the engine out, doing a complete restoration and reseal and getting the engine to showroom condition was the way to go. He was a huge Porsche enthusiast and had plenty of experience so the project was well within his capabilities. Unfortunately, didn’t get far before marital and financial trouble made him abandon the project. He didn’t give up completely until 2012 when he realized that he needed to pass it along to someone else. I’ve since taken my time getting the car back to its former glory. I’m happy with the results and now have a very nice leak-free 951 to pass on to a new owner.

Everything works on the car: AC blows cold (converted to R134), windows work, sunroof works, turbo boosts as it should, clutch is solid (replaced by a former owner), doors work, hood and hatch struts work, original paint is nearly perfect, runs great. The last owner had it as non-op and when I took it in for a smog test to get it registered again it failed for running rich. Passed easily the second time in. I have a stack of service records from the previous owners included along with the original owner’s manual, tool kit and spare tire.

I was keeping track of what I put into it but stopped counting when parts got over $3K and the list got too long for me to remember (I know I’m over $5K but not sure where it stopped). I’m looking for someone who appreciates these cars and sees the value in a well-cared for 1986 944 Turbo.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Good luck and thanks for looking!

VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.

Leno steals Porsche 918 from The Quail for latest Garage episode

Sat, 31 Aug 2013

Just because he's a famous celebrity doesn't mean Jay Leno got to take it easy at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance earlier this month. Having already spent some time with the gorgeous Cadillac Elmiraj Concept and Ed Welburn for a recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage, the late night talk show host also got to put a few miles on a prototype version of the Porsche 918 Spyder.
Like a usual episode of JLG, Leno first goes over the details of the car with Frank Walliser, head of the 918 Spyder's development, before taking it out for spin. Check out the full episode, which is posted below, to hear what Walliser has to say about the car. More importantly, though, crank up your computer's volume and let the car's high-revving engine and amazing exhaust note do plenty of talking for itself.

2015 Porsche Cayenne spotted with facelift

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Although it's only been a few years since the current Porsche Cayenne was introduced, Porsche seems to be working on a midcycle update for its big SUV possibly in time to welcome the smaller Macan. As seen in these recent spy shots, it looks like the Cayenne will be getting a minor face- and butt-lift, but it's hard to say what other changes are in store or when the updated model will hit showrooms.
Up front, expect the Cayenne's new face to resemble what was just revealed on the 2014 Panamera, and we could also see this SUV using some of the new engines introduced on the Panamera including the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 or maybe even the E-Hybrid model. We're guessing that the new Cayenne could debut sometime next year likely for the 2015 model year. In the meantime, check out the gallery of spy shots above.
