Porsche 944 Turbo (951) clean and nicely modded for street & track / HPDE
1987 Porsche 944 Turbo (also known as the 951). This is a very nice, driver-quality '44, not perfect but nicer than most! It has had a recent good quality repaint in the original Zermatt silver. The interior is in very good to excellent shape for its age. Leather is very nice, just some slight patina on the side bolsters as would be expected. Most everything works as new, the heat is hot, the A/C blows cold.
The previous owner had recently done the timing belt, balance shafts, water pump, and tune up. Car has been modified tastefully with good quality components from Lindsey Racing, one of the foremost 951 tuners in the country. I'm told it has an upgraded turbo from a later 944 Turbo S model, along with adjustable boost, boost enhancer, shimmed wastegate, big blow off valve, tuned chip, and a big exhaust, straight thru to the Magnaflow muffler. I can say with certainty it hits HARD when it comes on the boost, definitely not for a beginner! It's one of the strongest 951's I've had the pleasure of driving. The clutch hooks hard as well, and this car is equipped with the fairly rare and very desirable Limited Slip differential.
Suspension is a very well sorted collection of components: Weltmeister blade-adjustable swaybars, some of the best available for Porsches. KONI double-adjustable front struts, threaded for ride height adjustability as well, with Eibach ERS coil over springs in a very well chosen spring rate for track and HPDE events without being too harsh for street use. KONI 2812 aluminum threaded body rear shocks with Eibach ERS coilover springs designed to be used in conjunction with the factory Porsche torsion bars, which have been re-indexed at a lower ride height. Alternatively, if the buyer wants a more street-oriented ride, I'm happy to swap in a set of KONI yellows (adjustable) and H&R springs, which ride a bit smoother. The car currently sits on a set of 18x10 Turbo Twist replica wheels shod with half-tread Kumho XS tires, size 245/35 front and 265/35 rear. Fenders were rolled to accommodate this much larger size, and grip is fantastic with them. The car has a fairly aggressive alignment as well, which has the side benefit of allowing a bit more clearance. It is also equipped with some good dual purpose, high performance Porterfield brake pads.
As for apologies, there are a scant few, less than you would expect for a car of this vintage. But in the interest of full disclosure:
Seats show some mild wear and patina
Driver side rear view door mirror has been replaced with incorrect glass
Hood has a slight twist to it from years of having a worn out hood shock on the passenger side (which I replaced)
Dash has a few small cracks at base of windshield (not extremely noticeable, and easily fixed with a dash cover)
Steering wheel patina- it's a nice Momo Monte Carlo wheel, and feels great to the touch, but visually shows some wear
Airbag light on because of aftermarket Momo steering wheel
Turn signal doesn't self-cancel
Driver side door lock works with the key but not the electric lock button
Horn doesn't want to honk
Overall, this has been a very fast, very fun car. It is suitable for autocross, track events/HPDE, and daily driving too. It has been very reliable for me, and I hate to sell it, but I've got too many toys and need money to expand my business, so it's time to find a good home for it.
Please: Serious buyers only. No joyriders, be prepared to provide a good home for this. They don't build em like this any more, and I don't want to see it abused. Take care of it and it will take good care of you!
Asking $8500 OBO. Trades considered.

Sunday Drive: A new Rambo Lambo takes center stage
Sun, Dec 10 2017Surprise! Autoblog readers love fast cars. Doesn't matter what shape; doesn't matter what size. As long as it's got big power, wicked acceleration, and ludicrous speed, you're interested. Take, for instance, the brand-new Lamborghini Urus. It's got a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 sending 641 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. It hits 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds, and has a top speed of 189.5 mph. Ludicrous speed? Check. And although you'd be hard pressed to draw a line straight back from the upcoming Urus to the old, off-road-ready LM002, at least you can say that Lamborghini does have a history of producing overpowered SUVs. A 5.2-liter V12 engine producing 444 horsepower and borrowed from the Countach certainly qualifies as big power, especially considering this was in the 1980s and '90s. A prime example just sold for nearly half a million bucks. Moving along to more traditional sportscars, we got a sneak peek at the next Porsche 911's interior, thanks to some intrepid spy photographers. And we spy with our little eyes some major changes to the quintessential German sportscar. Finally, we round out this Sunday Drive with two First Drive reports. Both are German, but past that, they couldn't be more different. Either way, ludicrous speed is all but guaranteed by either one. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print.

Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Koenigsegg Lego sets coming this summer
Sun, May 5 2024Lego has announced a slew of new automotive-themed sets. As is typical fashion for brand of building toys, the subject matter leans toward ultra-exotic, ultra-expensive vehicles, ranging from a $139,000 Mercedes SL63 on the low end to a $3 million Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut on the high end. If you can't afford those cars in real life, soon you'll be able to build your own plastic models of them. Some of the real-world counterparts aren't obtainable no matter what the cost. Take the Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo, for example. The one-off concept was designed by Lamborghini exclusively for Gran Turismo, the PlayStation racing simulator. However, Lamborghini did build a 1:1 version for the physical world, with the 808-horsepoewer hybrid V12 from the Sian FKP 37 beneath its bodywork. The Lego version is part of the company's Speed Champions line, which measure about 6 inches long. It does an excellent job of capturing the original's insectoid look and Y-shaped taillights. The set is made up of 230 pieces and will retail for $26.99. This is Lego's first Vision Gran Turismo car but we hope to see more. Also joining the Speed Champions line are two 2-car sets. An Aston Martin-themed set pairs a Vantage safety car with an AMR23 Formula 1 racer. Both are finished in AMR's bright green with actual sponsor logos. The set contains 564 pieces and will cost $44.99. Also arriving as a 2-car set are a pair of Mercedes-AMGs. A black G 63 and yellow SL 63 Roadster, along with a pair of sunglasses-clad bros, make up the 808-piece set. It also retails for $44.99. All three Speed Champions sets arrive on June 1, 2024. If you're looking for something a bit more advanced and detailed, Lego also offers the Technic line. First up is a Porsche GT4 e-Performance, a 1,000-horsepower race car based on the 718 Cayman. This set can also function as a remote controlled car that moves forward, backward, and steers via a downloadable smartphone app. The 834-piece set costs $169.99. Last but not least, there's the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, a model of the Swedish supercar that is said to have a top speed of over 300 mph. The model does an admirable job of capturing the car's 0.278 Cd drag coefficient, considering it's comprised of 801 individual plastic bricks. This set will retail for $49.99 and, along with the Porsche, comes out August 1, 2024. Related Video LEGO Speed Champion Build: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
Porsche 919 Hybrid used 500 gallons of fuel to win Le Mans
Tue, Jun 23 2015After 395 laps and over 3,300 miles covered, Porsche claimed its record seventeenth overall win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year. Those, however, were only a few of the numbers that went into the German team's landmark campaign, the fourth one-two victory in the history of its assault on the endurance race. And now it has released some of the other mind-boggling figures behind its win. Over the course of 24 grueling hours of competition, the winning Porsche 919 Hybrid averaged a staggering 139 miles per hour, reaching a top speed of over 211 mph. Along the way, the winning car changed gears over 25,000 times. We can imagine the drivers worked up quite a sweat in a cockpit, whose temperature topped 80 degrees, with less than a quart of water to drink during each stint between pit stops – the longest of which lasted over ten hours. Little wonder that Mark Webber lost over six and a half pounds by the end of the ordeal. Naturally, pit stops played a huge part in the campaign, and the team – whose headcount topped 120 – carried out 90 stops (30 per car) over the course of the race. All told, the three cars went through 116 tires, each car had its oil refilled entirely, and the winning car alone swallowed up 500 gallons of fuel. And that's not even counting the energy recuperated by the electric component of the hybrid powertrain, which would be enough to power a family home for three months. Those are just some of the most notable figures, but they give us a pretty good idea of the enormity of the whole endeavor. Want to read more? There's a whole list of numbers in the press release below. Related Video: The 17th overall victory for Porsche at the Le Mans 24-Hours 395 laps to victory Stuttgart. On Sunday, 14th June 2015, the trio of Earl Bamber (NZ), Nico Hulkenberg (GER) and Nick Tandy (GBR) took the 17th overall victory for Porsche at the Le Mans 24-Hours. They were followed across the line by the sister car of Timo Bernhard (GER), Brendon Hartley (NZ) and Mark Webber (AUS). This made it the fourth one-two result for the brand after achieving this in 1971, 1987 and 1998. But there are more interesting facts and figures about the race. • The winning team completed 395 laps (5,382,82 kilometres). This year's race was only two laps short of the longest distance covered in Le Mans back in 2010. • The average speed of the winning Porsche 919 Hybrid was 224.2 km/h.
