Red 1985 Porsche 944s on 2040-cars

I've owned my Porsche 944 for about 4 years now. It has been one of the nicest cars I've owned with the best gas mileage I've ever gotten out of any of my cars.  In the time I've owned it I have replaced the A/C unit, shocks, brakes, tires, power steering pump, starter, clutch, and clutch hydraulic pump. The gauge that shows mileage stopped around the time I bought the car from an old buddy, and when I say old, he was really old. It stopped around 110,000 miles and for the first two years it was my daily driver and acquired about 16 miles 5 days a week. It is garage kept and I drive it about once a week now. I really love the car and heads turn when I drive it, though I was bumped in the rear end about a year ago. As you can tell by the pictures its not bad. The bumper has no damage at all. It was pushed in a little, which has been fixed, and when that happened the little side pieces as you can see bent and the black bumper fell off. Why am I getting rid of it? My kids are to big to ride in the back now and complain.. The car runs and drives great. There are your typical paint chips, fades, little tears in the seat, and the car does have a little crack in the windshield, but over all the body and interior is in great condition. I didn't have the little pieces at the back fixed and didn't get a new bumper guard for the rear bumper because I knew I was going to have to sell it and since I was offering such a low opening bid I didn't want to put any more money into the car. 
Common myths about Porsche.  They are hard to work on and the parts are very high.  That's just not true. For the most part none of the parts I bought for this car were dramatically more expensive than any other car I've own and this Porsche has been the easiest car I've ever owned regarding preforming regular maintenance. i.e. plugs, oil, brakes. If you have any questions I'll be more than happy to answer them and I'll work with you in anyway to make sure you are happy with your purchase.  I've sold about 4 cars I've owned on ebay and I've never had anyone not give me a positive feed back and tell me how happy they were with their car.  I'm selling you a car that I drive and that I put my kids, 7 and 6, in.  GOOD LUCK...

Porsche suspends 911 GT3 deliveries amidst fears of spontaneous combustion

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

Seeing pictures of Italian supercars burst into flames by the side of the road, as our compatriots at Axis of Oversteer point out, has become something of a usual sight. But a Porsche? Surely those meticulous German engineers have got that taken care of, right?
Not necessarily. Reports coming in from Europe indicate that no fewer than five 911 GT3 coupes have "spontaneously combusted" in the past few weeks, prompting Porsche to launch an investigation. In the meantime, they've reportedly ceased deliveries of the new GT3 while they try to determine what the problem is and work to rectify it.
We wouldn't be surprised to see a recall issued once the problem is resolved, but for now, we'd encourage existing owners to be extra vigilant behind the wheel - or better yet, leave their cars in the garage for the time being. You wouldn't want to drive a 475-horsepower rear-drive sports car through a Polar Vortex, anyway, right?

Production Porsche 918 Spyder images leak out of Chinese patent office

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

A few images of what looks to be the production Porsche 918 Spyder are here to say hello, courtesy of a patent office in China. If these provide an accurate look at what the hybrid supercar will look like, there are a few differences between it and the latest examples of the pre-production prototypes our spy shooters have seen.
The jerry-rigged turn signals inside the headlight enclosures and on the front fenders on the prototype are replaced with more polished units inside the headlamps located underneath the main beams. Behind that, the door handles have been swapped from horizontal latches on the door to vertical openings located just behind the door shutline.
We've also seen a Martini-liveried version of the 918 Spyder that has extra carbon elements that don't appear on this car. It was at the Nürburgring with carbon lips on the front fenders and another carbon element that hung from the rear fenders and ran down to the rear diffuser. When we saw the car on our Deep Dive piece, the front lips were gone but that rear piece remained, and we can't tell from the brochure and options sheet that we've seen so far what it comes with. The wheels from the concept and the green brake calipers, minus the polycarbonate covers, should be the standard fitment while the ten-spoke magnesium wheels will be a 29,750-euro (about $39,000 US) option.

Studiotorino shows new Cayman-based Moncenisio sports car

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

While the recent bankruptcy of Bertone shows that it has become very difficult to be a coachbuilder today, it seems there is still a business case in creating unique bodies for premium vehicles. Case in point, Studiotorino a small, Italian coachbuilder that has been creating limited-edition cars since 2005. Its latest creation is the Moncenisio, which debuted as a prototype at the National Automobile Museum of Turin on March 21. It's named after the 1902 Susa-Moncenisio race in Italy, the first automotive hillclimb in the world.
The Moncenisio begins life as Porsche Cayman S, and each car will be built to order with a planned production run of 19 examples. The chassis, mechanicals and engine are all left untouched. The only thing that Studiotorino alters are the body panels and interior appointments. Prices start at at a heady 145,000 euros ($200,420 US), plus the cost of the donor vehicle.
Architect Daniele Gaglione penned the shape of the Moncenisio, taking inspiration from the 1963 Porsche 904. The sports coupes receive carbon fiber pieces that replace the front bumper, side panels and rear bumper. Studiotorino also covers the rear side windows with welded metal panels. The design is still clearly a Cayman, especially from the front, but the extended roof and support pillars create a new look from behind, which features a new exhaust treatment and rear spoiler. The interior receives leather upholstery on the engine compartment cover, the partition between the engine and seats, ceiling and A-pillars. Scroll down to view a walkaround of the Moncenisio and read the full press release about it.
