1989 Porsche 944 S2 Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Sarasota, Florida, United States
|
This 1989 Porsche 944 S2 is being offered for sale, the best thing about this particular car, is it's originality, very unmolested, never raced, just driven properly. The only items that have been upgraded are the wheels and the exhaust; wheels are off a 1995 Carrera 911 (authentic Porsche Cup 3), exhaust is a high flow 3" full stainless steel, with stainless muffler and tip. The condition of the entire car is impressive, considering it's 25 years old, the Porsche quality is clearly visible, everything works, power windows, side view mirrors, pop-up roof, rear hatch, seats, etc.. Features one year old Cooper Zeon RS3-S tires, condition, new alternator, new battery, new brake pads all four corners (MINTEX), overall this car is a true time capsule, not many available so well maintained as this example.
Powered by the legendary 4 cylinder, 3.0L engine, naturally aspirated, rated at 208 H.P., very reliable, with 5 speed manual transmission, factory BREMBO 4 piston calipers. The previous owner had the timing belt, rails, water pump, seals, valve cover gasket, and all belts replaced in September 2012, this is a very critical service, which many 944's are neglected. The following items are what eventually will need service: - Clutch: it's the original unit, therefore, with over 85,000+ miles, it's starting to show little signs of slipping, specially under hard acceleration, between 1st and 2nd gear. - Front sway bar bushings: this is a super easy fix, I just haven't had the time to get to it, bushings are about $25.00/set, labor is less than one hour, weekend garage project. - Interior courtesy lights: they worked fine when I purchased the car, and about 8 months ago, they quit working, I think is a ground connection, since all bulbs and fuses have been checked, and all are fine. This car is always a center of conversation, everywhere I go, I get complements, the color combination with Alpine White exterior, Dark Blue interior, is timeless, will never be dated, updated with the 17 in. Cup 3 wheels, staggered, a very cool car indeed. I purchased this car for my wife and I to drive occasionally on weekends, and we have enjoyed very much, we had it for a little over a year, but now decided to buy a convertible. Good luck, and thank you for bidding. |

Porsche goes Platinum with special edition Cayenne
Thu, 05 Dec 2013The other day, Porsche announced a new special edition of the Cayenne. We didn't pay it much heed because it appeared to be exclusive to Europe (or, at least, markets other than ours), but now Porsche has announced its availability in North America, as well.
It's called the Platinum Edition, and it's available exclusively on the entry-level models with either the 3.6-liter V6 or 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. You can tell the special edition apart from any other Cayenne by the silver details (accenting the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler) and its two-tone black and beige leather interior. But what makes it a compelling choice is the long list of equipment, which Porsche has identified as the most requested options and fitted them as standard, including the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, Convenience Package and Bose audio.
Pricing starts at $63,300 for the Cayenne Platinum Edition, or $66,900 for the Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition. That represents a premium of approximately $13,000 over a bone-stock model, but actually saves you a few grand if you were going to select all those options anyway. Check out the press release below for all the details.
Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
Autocar pits Porsche 911 Turbo S against Formula 4 racer
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There is a long-running argument among performance car fans: power vs. weight. In one corner you get cars generally with small engines making modest numbers but able to corner like they are telepathic, and in the other there are big thumping mills that are rocketships in a straight line but lumber in the turns. Autocar takes an interesting look this continuum in a recent video pitting a 552-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S against a 185-hp Formula 4 racecar. It hopes to find whether the Porsche's huge power advantage is enough to defeat the better grip and aero offered by the nimble racer.
There's no doubt that the Porsche is an utterly fantastic road car. The 911 Turbo looks mean with all of those intakes to suck in cool air, and it backs up the posture with huge amounts of grip available thanks to its all-wheel drive-system. However, at 3,538 pounds, it's a bit of a porker compared to the 1,135-pound Formula 4 car. The open-wheel car boasts just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder from Ford and a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox, but it has loads of downforce to make up for it.
It shouldn't be a surprise that the formula car wins in the corners. After all, that's what it's made for. So do you think the massive horsepower superiority of the Porsche is enough to even the playing field? Scroll down to watch the video and find out, and even if you're not curious of the winner the 911 does some mean powerslides.
