This auction is for one 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet. In 1990 Porsche only produced 3938 of these Cabriolet’s for the year. This car is just one of 1824 produced for the US market. With production numbers this low, this car is destined to be a collector’s item in the very near future. The 944 Cabriolet body was built for Porsche by ASC, American Sunroof Company in Weinberg Germany, a first for the 944 line.

 

This 944 with its low 82K original miles has a long list of recent upgrades and mechanical fixes including, a full tune up, new shocks, brakes and rotors, alternator, starter, exhaust, K&N filter and timing belt check. New door panels are included with the sale.

 

The convertible top is brand new. The top is now manually operated rather than electrically.  This is pretty common for these cars because of the size of the roof, it literally can be open and closed in seconds with just your fingertips. The roof could be made to work electrically again with new cables.

 

The car runs drives and shifts without any problems and drives like a proper 944. There is evidence of a prior accident under the hood on the diver’s side frame rail. Although minor, this is what is causing the front bumper to be out of alignment. It has no affect on the drivability of the car. Apparently this is why the car now has a salvaged title. Rhode Island doesn’t issue titles to vehicles over 10 years old so I was not aware of this issue.

 

They say “a picture tells a thousand words”, so follow the link below to see over 60 photos and a few videos of this 944.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

2014 Porsche Panamera 4S Executive

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

If the idea of a Porsche sedan (or, long hatchback) is still off-putting to you, then you might want to look away now. For 2014, the polarizing Panamera has received a midcycle refresh bringing slightly different styling, as well as adding two new models to the lineup, the S E-Hybrid and the stretched-wheelbase Executive. Having focused most of my recent trip to Germany on a First Drive of the intriguing plug-in Panamera, I also got to spend some time with the roomier Executive model.
Offered in both 4S and Turbo guise, the Panamera Executive has been stretched by almost six inches for the sole purpose of improving rear passenger space. Although it's hard to imagine anyone would willingly buy a Porsche and opt to sit in the back seat, I'd have to say that if I'm going to be chauffeured around in a car, why not make it a Porsche? For the most part, though, I'm guessing that many Panamera Executive sedans will be owned by people who want to one-up their buddy driving a stretched BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
