Good: Body is in great shape, Porsche red paint looks great! handles great, very solid body. Runs better now then when purchased, will glide last mile before highway exit.

 

Florida car/ clean Florida title, but kept in Chicago garage currently.

 

This car has not been driven 5,000 miles in last 10 years.

 

944 "tank" solid frame which is ironic because i think its strength is slalom type handling and Drift car body frame, very light 2000 pound area. the engine is very clean filled with new parts, Exempt mileage, 2.7 liter non-turbo 5 speed, New clutch summer 2011, Rebuilt engine a lot in 2004ish. New Faulken tires. Sunroof. Easier to fit in then 911, if you are tall.

The 1989, 944 2.7 liter is better then earlier 80s engines in the 944. 944 models were Police Interceptor Cars, this car seems to run very well at a sustained 90 mph pace but is better at slalom type handling.

 

Owned the car since 2004.  Owners manual says run on 95 octane.

 

Bad: window washer sprayer doesn't work but wipers work well, put in 2 or more thermostats, No A/C, may hold freon.

Odometer says: 156,000 miles, from 2007-2014 no more than 700 miles in one of those years. In 2009, had head gasket repair and when I got it back from the shop the odometer wasn't working.

 

Interior: you wouldn't buy this car for the interior, it's okay, 2 bucket seats with Porsche covers, minor flaws, hatchback works well. Lots of new cars seemed to have copied this design, Nissan 350ish, it's 70s vette like.

 

Current minor repairs needed:

Crank shaft censor $150, saw one on eBay last week $49.99.

One hazard light bulb $5.00

 

 That's it.

 

You could see how long the AC holds freon? Window washer jets not working.

Good chance once the crank shaft censor fixed you would not have a problem for years.

Runs better now then when i bought it. Selling because I'm unemployed.  If it was a 70s vette have to ask $11,000 but 89 Porsche for $9,900. I have put more money into then asking.

 

You'll like it. Come by and drive it, if you want to buy.

Sale is final via Paypal, unless otherwise negotiated. I have to be paid to set up shipping.

Porsche's Tesla-fighter could have 600 hp and 300-mile range

Sun, Feb 22 2015

Will this be the Ragin' Pajun? Some details on the all-electric "Tesla fighter" from Porsche have been revealed by UK's Car magazine, and, to put it bluntly, the model that has preliminarily been dubbed the 717 will be an absolute beast when it hits the road as early as 2019. With some technological help from parent company Volkswagen, Porsche is planning a model that will have about a 300-mile single-charge range, and a version that may deliver as much as 600 horsepower. The four-door will also be four-wheel-drive, with one electric motor per axle, and four-wheel steering, all for the sake of consistency, Car says. Additionally, unlike the Tesla Model S, with its battery packs running flat along the floor of the vehicle, the 717's battery layout will be far more complex, complete with bulkhead walls and 108 separate battery pouches. Last month, German publication Auto Motor und Sport reported that the Panamera's junior variant, aka the Pajun, was indeed going to be an all-electric affair. Still, beyond a few digital renderings and an estimated single-charge range of 250 miles, few details were revealed.

Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group

Mon, Jul 5 2021

ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."

'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.
