1995 Porsche 968 Limited Edition For Final Year Of Production on 2040-cars
Cuba, New York, United States
For more details email me at: karleenpittillo@juno.com .
This 1995 Porsche 968 Coupe has the most desirable six-speed transmission, along with less than 34,000 careful
original miles. There is a Porsche plaque on the passenger dash designating this to be a "Limited Edition Coupe,
120/258". As one of the last 968s made, this is an especially collectible example. The designation provides for a
few extras, including an upgraded stereo, metallic black paint, limited slip and gray leather. You can see this
plaque in the photos, as well as a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity which validates the breeding of this
vehicle. It is an original, unaltered (except for the radio) example of an exceptionally strong perfoming sports
car.
This has been my 18th Porsche of various types. The 968 is the pinnacle of the 924,944,951 lineage, but was
only produced for four years ending in 1995, and only utilizing 20% of the 944 parts in common. The 236 hp four
cylinder power plant produces 225 foot pounds, which is as much power at the standard 911 up until 1989. It rocks!
Zero to sixty is under six seconds along with an old school EU exhaust rumble. 50/50 weight distribution and
limited slip differential produces actually better handling than the 911 (and I love 911s too).
The condition of this car is impeccable. Clean carfax with no accident history. I've owned her for five or
six years and bought her from the past president of the Polish Porsche Club whom lived in CA. Prior to CA the car
resided in New Mexico. I think driven by a physician whom lived on a gravel driveway. The car is in show
condition with only very minor defects, namely stone chip repairs and a small cut in the seat (photo shows). One
chip is about the size of a dime and poorly repaired. It was covered up by a bra that I will send with the car but
didn't use myself. The seat cut is about an inch long, is superficial, and has not grown in five years.
EVERYTHING else concerning the car condition and maintenance status is excellent. Including the recent timing belt
and water pump service. She is an eye catcher and could easily be shown as is. It was recently chosen for the
cover of the regional Porsche Club magazine. The Blaupunkt Toronto CD that is installed will come with the
original cassette. Newer Michelin Pilot Sports over very, very nice cup wheels that are accurate and original.
Fully serviced and everything works like new.
There are no disappointments here. If you want the best, this is among a very few of the finest at the top of
the marque. With care, it should be a pleasing investment over time with a favorable return. I have obsessive
records for my ownership, and some from before. I'm very pleased to show the car to your inspector. I am
expecting to sell her to a collector whom recognizes the appeal to this rare type of Porsche, and welcome your
questions.

Magnus Walker pops up again, this time with his Irish Green 911
Sun, 06 Oct 2013He was the subject of a short film called Urban Outlaw. He has been on Jay Leno's Garage. Twice. He even graced the cover of Road & Track in June. And after all of that, he appeared in a video by Hong Kong-based Silly Thing. So it isn't really surprising that Magnus Walker is at the center of attention in the latest video from XCAR, but it's surprising - and a treat - to see his mostly original Irish Green 1966 Porsche 911.
Powered by an air-cooled 2.0-liter flat six with 130 horsepower (more like 120 hp today, Walker says), riding on 5.5-inch wide wheels and turned with a wooden steering wheel, the little green 911 does represent some of the best aspects of classic car motoring.
Head on below to watch the long-form video on Walker and his Porsche, but if your time is limited, you're not missing much if you call it quits at five minutes - especially if you've seen his aforementioned videos before.
Porsche to decide soon on Bugatti future
Mon, Jun 21 2021WEISSACH, Germany — Volkswagen will soon decide on the future of its luxury brand Bugatti, Oliver Blume, Volkswagen management board member and CEO of Porsche AG, said on Monday. Last week, Reuters reported that Bugatti was working on a strategic partnership with Rimac, which will likely result in a joint venture between Porsche and Rimac, with Porsche as a minority partner, Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess said in March. "The future of Bugatti is an issue that will be decided on a group level," Porsche said in a statement, declining to comment further. Porsche boss Oliver Blume earlier this year said intense discussions on Bugatti's future were ongoing and that Rimac could play a role as the brands were a good technological fit, adding that a decision was expected in the first half of 2021.

1949 Gm?nd Porsche shows the birth of an icon
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The Austrian village of Gmünd is more than just difficult to pronounce; it's also the birthplace of the Porsche brand. Before the company ever started building sports cars at its current home base near Stuttgart, the fledgling business completed several vehicles in the tiny town in Southern Austria. In this video, former Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champion Jeff Zwart takes a look at a 1949 Gmünd coupe to see how the company has evolved since its earliest days.
The thing to note about the Gmünd-built Porsches is their absolute design simplicity. The phrase "form follows function" gets bandied around a lot, but it really means something when you look at these early cars. However, the minimalism was partially out of necessity. The vehicles were meant to be sporty but certainly weren't rockets. Power came courtesy of a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine, and anything extraneous would have slowed the models down. Scroll down to watch Zwart go back in time to Porsche's beginnings.
