Rare and beautiful trim with supple leather, burr maple wood, aluminum, wood, rear wing, xenon lights, stainless steel door sils and oval exhaust pipes.. see below for the list of optional features from the certificate of authenticity i obtained from Porsche. I bought the car from a dealer in January of this year, did the 60K service (receipts available) and added a few extras like new OEM wiper blades, new wheel hub caps, new lug bolts, wind shield deflector and mesh grills. I thought i would use it a lot in the summer, but have barely put a couple of hundred miles on it as i end up riding my motorcycle instead whenever it's top-down weather, so decided to sell it. I'm asking $14K, which is what i paid the dealer with taxes and fees, that's not including $4K i spent on the 60K service etc.. The car runs well, sounds gnarly and turns heads. There is a small paint touch up the size of a quarter by the rear trunk and the brake rotors have surface rust that's just cosmetic because the previous owner didn't choose the coated ones when they were replaced last. I was going to get the coated rotors but wanted to wear out the current ones first, so never got around to it. Newer tires. Also, i don't think AC works, although i've never used it, it's a convertible after all. Private seller - save on taxes. Call 312-316-8830 with questions. i had to pay almost 10% in sales tax here in chicago because i bought from a dealer. There are some more pictures and details on the dealer's site for their original listing if you google the vin and click on the fidelity motor group listing link.
MSRP on the certificate of authenticity was $71,761 - this thing came loaded. Take a look at the pic of the label with options codes, it's seven rows long!

Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe vs Porsche Panamera Turbo S in unusual lux showdown
Fri, 07 Nov 2014We'll admit it, we're really looking forward to more time with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. Compared to other high-dollar luxury coupes - we're looking at you Bentley Continental GT - it's more stylish, easily more affordable, and since it's a Mercedes, lacks the sense of fragility that comes with a more exotic name plate.
Auto Express has taken a whack at reviewing the new two-door S-Class, and for some reason, the British mag is comparing it with a Porsche Panamera. Now, while comparing the looks of an S-Class Coupe and a Panamera is a bit like holding a beauty contest between Kate Upton and Medusa, this isn't as bizarre a pair as you might think, particularly when you opt for the high-dollar S63 AMG Coupe and the Panamera Turbo S.
The two offer similar power outputs from their force-induced V8s - 577 horsepower in the Benz and 570 horsepower in the Porsche - and are even similar in terms of interior and exterior dimensions. The S-Class actually has an extra inch between the axles and is 1.2 inches longer overall (it's also about 300 pounds heavier). In the cabin, the S-Class also has a tiny bit more rear legroom, with 33.4 inches to the Panamera's 33.3.
Porsche Macan fails moose test, Stuttgart responds
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Different countries have different safety standards, but most of them revolve around a similar set of tests: front impact, side impact, offset impact, rollover... the usual. But Sweden has its own test. It's called the Moose Test (or the Elk Test), and it's unique to Scandinavia: a car has to be able to avoid a theoretical antlered mammal on the road while traveling at 43.5 miles per hour and return to its previous course without flipping over. The Jeep Grand Cherokee ran afoul of the uniquely Nordic maneuver a couple of years ago, but even more surprising is the way the Porsche Macan has reacted.
Under testing by Sweden's Teknikens Värld, Porsche's downsized crossover - specifically the Macan S Diesel, for what it's worth - didn't flip over, but it skidded off course. In real-world conditions, it follows, the vehicle could run off the road or into oncoming traffic. The testers ran the test several times, and even removed excess weight from the vehicle, and each time it reacted the same way.
In response, Porsche has explained that the behavior is the result of its Active Rollover Protection system kicking in. When the system detects that the vehicle could drastically oversteer, flip over or lose its tire, it momentarily applies the brake on the front outside wheel, allowing the vehicle to shed the cornering forces without losing it completely.
World's largest toy car collection is in Beirut, and it's remarkable
Fri, Jan 31 2014It's common for auto enthusiasts to have a few miniatures of their favorite cars around their home or office. They provide a respite of happiness knowing that if you can't have the real things, at least you can look at them in miniature. However, Billy Karam of Beirut, Lebanon, has taken collecting toy cars to its extreme. His collection of over 30,000 model cars and 400 dioramas is certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest collection of car toys. "You cannot buy the big ones, so you buy a thousand of the small ones instead," says Karam in the video. Karam is a former amateur racing driver with a weakness for all things Porsche, and many of his dioramas depict races that he drove in or attended. Looking at them gives him a chance to relive the experiences again, but unlike a photo or video, they are right there in three dimensions.
