1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet (convertible) on 2040-cars
Amissville, Virginia, United States
|
A fine example of a classic design. This car has been a project of mine and has had some well sorted upgrades done so far. Black on Black on Black Cabriolet with a well documented service history. Car has 85,000 miles. All belts, rollers, and bearings done in the last 10,000 miles. The paint is not new but is in very good condition. No rust anywhere. New top and toneau cover with new cables installed. The interior is immaculate. Seats were recovered. The dash is perfect. Koni rear coilovers installed. Koni front inserts go with the car. I just haven't installed them yet. Wheels are BSA. 18X8 front and 18X10 rear. Falken tires with less than 5,000 miles. 245/50/18 front and 295/35/18 rear. Everything works. However, the clock in the dash gummed up this month. I have ordered a splitter and am waiting for it to arrive. They are made to order so, I am waiting my turn. Drivetrain is solid and this would do as a daily driver with no worries. I bought it with the intention of installing a LS1 but it is just too nice to not leave original. So, I am going a different direction. If I were to keep it, I would replace the clock, the windshield header is warped. It doesn't interfere with the function of the top or anything else, I'm just picky and would replace it. Also, the tripometer works but will not reset to 000. I would install the splitter and install the front Koni's. Also, I had to roll the rear fender lips to make room for the 295's. The paint cracked and should be redone. The rear fenders have excellent lines for taping off and repainting with out having to paint the whole car. I was quoted $500 to have it done. The A/C has been converted to 134a and works. Electric windows work. Electric seats work. This car will make an excellent DD or a good project to pick up and continue for an enthusiast. I still have the stock wheels with a new set of Cooper tires if you are looking to go original. I can put them back on and adjust the price accordingly. Thanks for looking! $250.00 deposit by paypal due upon winning the auction or if you buy it now. Remaining funds do at pick up. |

Jay Leno plugs himself into Porsche's 918 Spyder
Mon, 24 Mar 2014As one of the greatest sports car manufacturers of all time, when Porsche puts out a new, ultra-exclusive hypercar, enthusiasts tend to stand up and take note. Jay Leno is no exception, and now, the funnyman is finally getting his time with awesome 918 Spyder.
With his 1963 Porsche 356 and his 2005 Carrera GT flanking a Liquid Silver 918, Leno takes us through the basics of this plug-in hybrid roadster alongside Daniel Eastman of Porsche North America. Following the chat, Leno and Eastman take the German-plated car through the streets of California, testing it in a number of modes and even going on a short, all-electric freeway cruise.
If you're looking to learn more about the 918, or to just here its glorious gas engine at work, you'll want to scroll down and take a look at the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera
Sat, 22 Mar 2014When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
DP Motorsport tries to turn a vintage Porsche 911 into a sleeper
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Once you get past the fact that it's hard to call a car a sleeper when it has race-product stickers on its quarter panel, and the script across the back panel reads "Porsche 911 3.2 Sleeper," it's fun to imagine what this car can do. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911, Germany's DP Motorsport took a model from 1986, stripped it of everything - including the paint and undercoating - then replaced everything with lightweight and race-ready parts.
In went race cams and ported cylinder heads, a lightweight flywheel, an RSR titanium racing exhaust, 935-style lollipop seats and RSR carpeting, a lightweight battery, perforated and galvanized hinges and brackets, hardened perspex windows. The 3.2-liter engine puts out 270 horsepower - 70 hp above the stock 911 on sale here in 1986 - and 226 pound-feet of torque through a limited slip differential to staggered wheels. The exterior color is metallic rock-green lacquer.
If you want one, $120,00 is where the part starts, but DP Motorsport says it offers the parts individually if you don't need your vintage Porsche to sleep this hard. On a side note, for a chucklesome journey back in time, check out this review of the 1986 911 that gets things going with this line: "First off, the Porsche 911 is very expensive - how does about 40 thou grab you?" Back on topic, there's a press release below that tells the rest of the story of the 3.2 Sleeper.
