For sale, rare 1988 Porsche 944 "Celebration Edition" model. There were only 250 of these made and shipped to the United States in this color. Unfortunately, I did not realize how special it was until after I replaced the worn interior, one of the things that made it so unique. I will include the "celebration edition" driver and passenger seats which could be sold for a nice profit to collectors who are restoring their cars. The engine runs great. It's been well maintained with regular oil changes. The following repairs have been made in the last 18 months: new starter, new master and slave clutch cylinders, new rear rotors, new brake pads, new thermostat, new cylinder head and head gasket, new fuel lines, new fuel pump, new timing belt, new alternator & balance shaft belts, new radiator and expansion tank, new gas tank, new right front tie rod. It also has relatively new tires on it. One thing the new owner will want to take care of is the replacement of one of the fuel injectors. I understand the part runs about $130 and should not require much labor in replacing it. Additionally, there is also a power steering leak I've not had a chance to troubleshoot. The exterior and interior door mechanisms need repair/replacement. Replacement parts are available and can be installed relatively easy. The AC does not work. The power mirrors, odometer and power sunroof do not work. The motorized head lights work partially and may only require adjustment. I've had them in the manual mode and left in the raised position. Overall the body and paint are in fair to good condition. There is cracking and significant peeling on the hood and a few dents on the front end. I recently replaced the center part of the front end which contains the emblem. The interior is in pretty good shape, pictures of the interior to follow in the next day or so. Judging from the title , the car was in an accident and the insurance company wrote it off in December 2008. The car seems very sound and drives/handles great! The title is up to date. After spending thousands on the engine, the new owner should not have much to contend with going forward.

Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.
2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S debut [w/video]
Fri, 03 May 2013
The Turbo S will dispatch the Nürburgring in "well under seven and a half minutes."
Porsche is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its 911 Turbo in the best possible way: by announcing the next-generation of the rear-engined beast. The 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S are here, and man oh man, do they seem like the business.
Porsche Cayenne spied unconstrained by camouflage
Thu, 05 Jun 2014Meet the facelifted Porsche Cayenne. Our eagle-eyed spy shooters captured this example of Porsche's freshened SUV virtually devoid of camo, giving us our clearest look yet at what the eventual mid-cycle work will do to the strong-selling Cayenne.
The overall changes do, indeed, look minor, with a reprofiled intake being the most obvious item. The headlights are still covered, so we don't know what kind of jeweling has been done, but the shape does appear identical to the current model. Overall, the changes appear totally in line with a mid-cycle refresh.
As we explained previously, a plug-in Cayenne is on the way. It will join a crop of engines that is likely to be similar to what's on offer today, with naturally aspirated, turbocharged, hybrid and diesel variants released over time.
