Up
for auction is this beautiful 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo with 5-Speed 2.5L 16 valve
engine with 84,920 original miles and high gloss Pearl While paint with tan and
black interior. I
purchased the vehicle from the original owner in October 2011, whom cared for
it for the previous 24 years and 79,900 miles.
The previous owner had performed
extensive maintenance on the vehicle and it has had the following work
completed: July 2008 (68,000 miles) the entire engine was removed and rebuilt
with new crankshaft, timing belt, connecting rods and rod bearing set, piston
ring set, fuel injectors and all injector seals/o-rings, clutch assembly
(clutch and slave cylinder), frequency valve, turbo cutoff valve, water pump
and hoses, and clamps, all belts, control arm bushing, engine mount, tension
roller, tension gear, engine gasket set, exhaust manifold gasket, exhaust seal
ring, hatch switch, shift level, heater control valve and receiver/dryer distributor
cap, ignition rotor and ignition dust cover.
(See receipts for $7,113.82 for all details). The
car was repainted in 2010 in a high gloss Pearl White and had a graphic “turbo”
script design applied to the right front fender (see photos) and a new Alpine
stereo receiver/CD player with iPod/USB connector installed. The
previous owner reported to following two incidents/issues: 1) 10/07/2010 - Rear hatch windshield was broken and insurance company replaced the glass with no other damage to car. 2) 04/24/2011 - Construction on main road was being done and the
city didn't properly cove the hole and the vehicle left front wheel hit the
hole resulting in a broken control arm. Both control arms have been
replaced and alignment performed. (See receipts for $891.17 and $1,082.52
respectively). As the second owner of the vehicle, the vehicle has been garage kept and I have had the throttle body replaced, new belts, radiator hoses, front sway bar bushings, new rear deck carpeting, and new Dunlop Direzza tires (205/55R16 front and 225/50R16 rear) installed with new color Porsche emblem center wheel caps. The maintenance and new tire installation were performed at 84,871 miles, and the tires have less than 50 miles on them, not a typo, they are new with under 50 miles on them. The car runs and drives great and is a real attention getter. The driver’s seat shows signs of wear and has some small cuts (see pictures) and there is a small paint chip on the left rear quarter panel behind the left rear tire (see pictures). The vehicle has a Viper anti-theft alarm system and has key fob activated lock, unlock and disarm features and if attempts are made to shake and/or enter vehicle when activated, the starter is deactivated and can be reset with a button on the key fob. The car also has the SEKURIT vehicle glass etching which includes the VIN number being etched on the glass (see pictures) and the vehicle also comes with a grey microfiber cloth car cover and four OC142 Mahle oil filters. The car is offered as is with no warranty. A

Porsche finally moving ahead with flat four engine
Sun, 23 Mar 2014When Porsche released the first Boxster in 1996 and the first Cayman in 2005, the idea was to create an entry-level model for the German automaker's sports car range. The latest iterations of both closely related models, however, have begun to encroach dangerously on the 911's territory, particularly in their newest GTS specifications. That could be about to change, however, with the introduction of a four-cylinder engine for the compact mid-engined coupe and roadster.
According to Automotive News, Porsche is finally preparing to launch a new boxer four engine in the Boxster and Cayman, following years of speculation. The engine would be based on the same architecture as the company's famous flat six, but with two fewer cylinders to cut weight. Don't expect it to cut much in the way of performance, however: Porsche chief Matthias Muller indicates that the new engine could produce as much as 395 horsepower - significantly more than even the 340hp flat six in the Cayman GTS, suggesting that the engine could even find its way into the 911 as well.
It's no more clear which markets would get the four-cylinder engine, either. But wherever it is offered and in whichever form, it wouldn't be the first time we'd see a Porsche with a four-pot engine. Not by a long shot. Both the classic 912 and 356 were powered by boxer fours, as was the 914 - not to mention the 718 pictured above and the iconic 550 Spyder. The front-engined 924, 944 and 968 packed inline-four engines, but the last of those were discontinued in the 1990s. The prospect of a four-cylinder Boxster/Cayman has been rumored for many years now, most recently joined by the possibility of a four-pot Macan as well.
Porsche rules out Macan, 911 hybrids
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Believe it or not, between the 918 Spyder, the Cayenne and the Panamera, Porsche offers more plug-in hybrid models than any other brand. Yes, Porsche. But don't expect that trend to continue. At least, not in the immediate future.
According to Top Gear, the E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera is too big to fit into the smaller Macan. A future hybrid system could be small enough to fit, but with the current technology still fresh, that'd still be some ways down the twisting road.
It stands to reason, then, that if the system wouldn't fit in the Macan, it wouldn't fit in the Boxster or Cayman, either. But what of the 911? Surely Porsche would like to stick it to BMW and its new i8, and proved it could do a hybrid 911 when it rolled the GT3 R Hybrid (pictured) out onto the race track over four years ago. But Zuffenhausen is reportedly in no rush to put that idea into production - not for the current 911 and not for the next one, either.
Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
