This is a 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo with 26,xxx original miles. I have many receipts from Porsche dealer oil changes, and other minor tune-ups, that show the mileage over time. I am the forth owner and have data on the other three owners. Lots of pictures can be found at the following web page:

https://sites.google.com/site/gregscarprojects/1988-porsche-944-turbo

The original owner had the car until 15K, and then sold it to a person who took mileage to 23K. The last owner held it the longest, while I purchased from his son. The 944 has a new Lindsey Racing exhaust, dual DMF chips, and Lindsey MAF conversion. It includes one really nice complete J&L Audio stereo system.

I paid a premium for the car because us was worth it. I completed a total fluid sub-system flush (transmission, brake lines, engine, water, power steering, etc).
The timing belt and AC compressor are new. Early on, the factory replaced the clutch. The shocks, wheels and tires are new too.
The brake pads and disks show no wear, looking like they came from the factory. I have all the receipts to show the service and parts.

Other than those modifications it is completely factory, except it has 330HP pulling hard and a Blast to Drive! The interior is completely beautiful with no blemishes. Every switch works and all the plastic/vinyl/fabric looks like new (nice and soft).

What can I say negative about the car? It has one blemish on the rear black plastic bumper and front headlight, and a small blemish on the rear fiberglass under-spoiler (all have been touched up now). I also see just a tiny touch of road rash on the passenger's front-side rear splash guard(not anything you can see unless you really look hard).

The only major issue is that the car had a totally beautify repaint job done a few years back. The painter did a great job hiding any idea that it has been repainted. Read on the web and learn why paint was not good back in those days.

The underside is just beautiful as you can see from the pictures. Any person can tell the car was not driven in the rain. All of the original white part number stickers are in place on the wires, etc, as are the red paint markers by the factory workers who checked for quality.

What else will go with this car? The ORIGINAL window sticker of $42,000, and lots and lots of car articles from the 80's and 90's time frame. I have the few original parts that were removed to install the upgrades, as well as a COMPLETE set of Dealer Service Manuals. The manuals are a complete detail of the car nut-to-nut and connector-to-connector.

I also just found an original brochure for the Porsche 1988 944 series that is really cool to read (the brochure says the 1988 Turbo 944 was the first mid-level premium sports car to get dual air bags and anti-lock brakes!)

A few of other things to note from the pictures is the cool beginner's service guide VCR tape. I burned a DVD of the tape and it comes with the car. Next, the key-fob's light up nice and bright when you press the button. Finally, do not to forget your hats!

Please take the time to look at all the pictures and check out that dyno result of HP to the rear wheels! This is a perfect, reliable, sports car that cost so much less than anything in its collector car class. The care has almost a perfect 50-50 weight ratio and that is why it is so hard to find one that is not trashed. If you look on car sale lists you will find many 944's with over 200k miles on them just to prove the reliability and near bullet-proof engines.

Porsche 918 Spyder to birth stretched 2+2 version?

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Porsche is known for its ability to spin off a litter of variants from a single model, and according to a report in Automobile the 918 Spyder (pictured here) might not be spared the house trick. Having taken too many brains and too much money for too much time, company chiefs are said to be examining ways to get more for their development euro out of the supercar, and Plan A is apparently otherwise known as Plan 984. That would be a four-seater, rear-wheel drive supercar that uses a stretched mold of the 918's carbon fiber tub, keeping the V8 in the same mid-mounted place and costing around 350,000 euro.
That would be less than half the MSRP of its inspiration, but the details don't sketch out a car that's just half as good. Automobile speculates it would get something like 700 horsepower in order to best the coming 911 GT2, and about 440 pound-feet of torque. The 984 is quite a ways short of being confirmed; even though a full-size study is said to exist, it's like the 918 would need to become a bigger sales hit for the 984 to happen.
The 984's fortunes don't change those of the 960, the supercoupe Porsche is building to challenge Ferrari. Its potential specs haven't changed since the last report in January, power coming from a 5.0-liter, twin-turbo, eight-cylinder boxer engine with something like 650 hp pushing a curb weight of roughly 3,100 pounds. The means a suspected 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of 2.5 seconds.

Porsche Fire and Ice is chilling art born of flames

Wed, 01 Jan 2014

Porsche held a contest inviting ten filmmakers to riff on the tagline for the Panamera, "Thrilling Contradictions," in a 60-second film. The winner was an entry called Fire and Ice by director Ross Cohen, a concept that uses just those two elements in a premise as simple as it is rewarding. For his efforts, Cohen will receive a trip to the Chicago International Film Festival, and you might see the short in the pre-movie advertisements in a theater served by Spotlight Cinema Networks.
Porsche did this kind of thing just two years ago, when it asked filmmakers to illustrate the idea of "Everyday Magic". The winner of that contest, Michael Korbel's It's a Magical Life, followed the journey of a young man to husband and father from the perspective of the trunk of a 911. You'll find that video as well as Fire and Ice below.

Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
