1990 Porsche 944 S2 Convertible 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Montgomery, Alabama, United States
|
I looked for a long time to find a well-maintained, undamaged, low mileage 944 s2 cabriolet, and if you've been looking, you know how hard they are to find. This is a stunning 46,675 mile car and is all original with no modifications. Guards red exterior with black leather, black top and near new tires on factory 16" s2 alloys. Car runs, drives, looks outstanding. –Exterior- Guards red finish is excellent. The surface is straight with no door dings and shines very well, as you'd expect of a garaged car (many clear coats of the day oxidized and became hazy; this paint looks fabulous). The rear tag panel had scratches when I purchased the car and I had it professionally matched and painted, along with the small, always faded plastic rear fender caps. The paint in the door jambs, under the hood, and other "non-viewed" places still looks excellent. The doors, hood and trunk shut with authority and all gaps are uniform and proper. –Interior- The black interior is in outstanding condition, noting the miles and care given the car. The door panels are uncut and pristine, as is the carpet. The dash has no cracks, nor does the console. The rear seats appear as new. The switchgear works great. Air conditioning blows cold; power seats, windows, mirrors, locks and cruise all work as designed. This 944 even has heated seats! There are no faults known regarding the operation of this car's electronics, even the clock works! Also, the car has it's original am/fm cassette palyer, along with the optional amp and equalizer. The original, unused inflatable spare is present, as is the porsche air pump and all original trunk accessories (tools, plastic gloves, etc). –Engine, Drivetrain- The car starts with the first twist of the key, settles into an easy idle, and holds excellent pressure. It pulls strong and shifts crisply, without the sloppiness of higher mile cars. This car is steady and stable at any speed. Steering and clutch feel fantastic with no shudder; it brakes with no pulling or fading. Honestly, the car drives just like you'd hope a low mileage well-maintained porsche would. Additionally, a full belt service(timing, etc.), along with water pump replacement, was performed within the last 350 miles. –Overall- This 944 is super reliable, fast enough for most any street driver, capable, plus get fantastic fuel economy. The tops seal as well as a coupe, and these cars are handlers. I've owned lots of sports cars, but the s2 is a league ahead in confident, no drama performance and handling. This car is as nice an example as i have seen; I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere, has ample trunk space, and is serviced for road worthiness. Fly in and drive it home!....best wishes in your bidding. |

2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Think of the electric motor in the facelifted 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as the cream filling in an Oreo cookie. Under the hood of this plug-in hybrid crossover is a 333-horsepower, supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 95-hp synchronous electric motor sandwiched between it and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The clutched powertrain allows pure combustion, pure electric or a combination of both to drive all four wheels through Porsche's permanent all-wheel-drive system.
Differentiating itself from the Panamera S E-Hybrid sedan, which shares the same basic powertrain and stores energy in a 9.4-kWh battery, the Cayenne crossover is fit with a more robust 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers an estimated pure-electric driving range of up to 22 miles at speeds of up to 78 miles per hour.
To be one of the very first US media members to sample Porsche's latest fuel-efficient crossover, the automaker flew us to Frankfurt, Germany, to test the five-passenger Cayenne S E-Hybrid on its home turf.
New Porsche 4-cyl engines to range from 1.6L to 2.5L
Mon, 02 Jun 2014Recent rumors of a turbocharged, flat-four-engine from Porsche for the Boxster (pictured testing above), Cayman and maybe other models go back over a year. The latest scuttlebutt indicates that there could be three variants on the horizon with 1.6-, 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements and power as high as 360 horsepower.
Car magazine in the UK claims to have access to the specifications for the project and thinks the 2.0- and 2.5-liter versions are guaranteed for production for the Boxster and Cayman. However, it believes a question mark still looms over the 210-hp 1.6L because the engine would go into a new, smaller sports car that still doesn't have a green light for production.
Regardless of displacement, the new fours would be turbocharged and direct-injected. The 2.0-liter would produce around 286 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque, and the 2.5-liter would make about 360 hp and 347 lb-ft. Earlier reports pegged some parts sharing with the current flat-six.
UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals
Sun, 27 Apr 2014Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
