I met a guy who lives in Napa, CA with a cab in this color (I think they only made 12 cabs in Wimbledon green), and
fell in love with the color. About a year later I found one right down the street from me in Los Angeles and bought
it. It’s a great car with 114,000 miles, so when I found this one with only 50,000 miles, I decided to buy it as
well.
It had low miles but was parked outside in the Florida sun, so paint was faded, dash was cracked and hatch carpet
is worn. I removed the dash and had it recovered in leather. I got a quote for replacing the rear carpet but this
is the only thing that I did not get around to (see photos of carpet).
Recent maintenance:
All new Gates belts and rollers, cam chain tensioner pads, timing chain, valve cover gaskets (1/5/15)
New Yokohama S-Drive Tires (2/17/15)
New brake pads and rotors, front and back (1/5/15)
New euro front blinkers
Replaced stock seats with seats out of a 2013 Cayman (I still have the stock seats to go with the car,
if desired), and wired electrical to work correctly
Leather dash (Removed dash and had top recovered in leather)
Full re-spray at a shop that knows these cars, so had all new rubber seals replaced as well. Paint
looks like new.
Fluids changed: oil, brake fluid, and coolant (1/5/15)
Design 1 Racing short shift kit
I have a clean CarFax that I can provide, and recently passed California SMOG. Has the clear power steering
reservoir, which is very rare. I have original books and leather cover, and 2 keys. AC blows very cold, actually
colder than my other 968 for some reason that I would like to figure out.
I am only selling because I came across a 1993 Porsche 928 GTS 5 speed with 60,000 miles, and of course I still
have my higher mileage 968. This car is ready to go with all maintenance handled.

Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.
LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and Agera R take to Assen
Tue, 10 Jun 2014It's the show-down (sort of) we've all been waiting for. The battle of the hybrid hypercars from the performance powerhouses of Europe: Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. No one publication has managed to get their hands on all three just yet, but this video has - and with a Koenigsegg Agera R thrown in for good measure.
The video was shot by our (unrelated) Dutch compatriots at Autoblog.nl at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. The track has played host to Champ Cars and all manner of racing bikes, but this could be the ultimate grid of actual production machinery that's ever lined up behind its start/finish line. Shame the weather was rainy and this unsurpassed array of supercars weren't really racing - more showing off for the crowds. But what a show it was. Scope out the footage in the video below.
Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
