DESCRIPTION: 2001 Porsche Boxster Coupe 986. NO RESERVE! Beautiful classic Porsche silver paint with black/dark blue/gray interior and soft top convertible roof. Spring is here and summer is right around the corner-time to put the top down! 5 speed manual transmission. 2.7 liter, 6 cylinders rear wheel drive. 87,XXX miles. Paint job is in great shape with no dents, dings, cracks, etc. Anti-lock braking system. Not an "S" but has sport option: 19 inch premium wheels with electric extendable/retractable spoiler, multi-colored Porsche logo on wheel caps and steering wheel, and Porsche emblem valve caps. Has "PORSCHE" Racing decal on top of windshield which can be easily removed if that's not your thing. This car is located in zip code 76155, Ft. Worth, TX. Comes complete with owner's manual and hardback service book. I will post more pictures this weekend once I get the car washed.

OPERATIONAL: This car runs beautifully! I put a lot of TLC and money into it. On March 30th I drove it from Orlando, FL to Dallas/Ft.Worth straight through (18 hours) without any problems. The car faired better than me! The transmission and clutch shift smoothly. Being a mid-engine car, it's surprisingly silent! It's also very spacious for a 2 seat coupe. Has both front and rear trunk space. Cruise control works flawlessly. All wiper functions operate normally. Gauges and instrument cluster fully operational. A/C blows cold. Power windows, door locks, side mirrors. All exterior and interior lights work. Roof does not leak. The roof raises and lowers fine except as the roof is lowering you have to help the roof into the track with your hand. This is a matter of doing it whilst in the car or out. It may need adjustment. The driver's side door/door jamb squeaks a little bit when going over bumps. I think it may need adjusting or lubrication. Has security system. Comes with remote key and Porsche FOB. You can lock/unlock the car, front trunk, and rear trunk remotely.

INTERIOR: Power steering, leather seats, dual and side airbags, telescoping steering wheel, usual wear and tear, brand new cup holders, JVC AM/FM/CD stereo deck with 1/8th input for your iPod, amplifier installed in front trunk. Carpets in great shape with the Porsche moniker.

HISTORY: I have owned this car since April 10, 2012. It was in great condition when I bought it, but I wanted it better. It has been inspected and checked out by Orlando and Ocala Porsche dealers.

'Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz battles Ron Simons in Porsche vs Ferrari scrap

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

We hope you have seven minutes to kill. RSR Nürburgring recently took the time to pit Sabine Schmitz and her slightly modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS against Ron Simons and his Ferrari 458 Italia in a sparring match around the infamous Green Hell. The clip begins with the two drivers engaging in a smidgeon of smack talk before the two get down to the business of beating each other's doors off around one of the most challenging courses in the world. Simons calls his car superior to Schmitz's 911, while Schmitz says she's up against nothing more than a Fiat driven by an old Dutch man.
Don't hold any punches, you two.
We won't spoil the finale for you, but we will say the tango is worth watching. At the end, the loser calls for a rematch. We can't wait to see that throwdown. Check out the clip below for yourself.

eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche Mission E charging for Tesla, net zero energy Toyota dealership

Wed, Oct 5 2016

Porsche has confirmed that its Mission E charging infrastructure will also work with Tesla vehicles. The ultra-fast, 800-volt charging system will recharge the Mission E to 80 percent in about 15 minutes, and will also service new EVs from Volkswagen and Audi. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Top Gear that development of the charging infrastructure "sounds easy but getting the details agreed is hard. We already have the clear technical concept. It can even work with Teslas, with an adapter." Dieter Zetsche, Head of Mercedes-Benz, also tells Top Gear that they are "in talks" with Porsche regarding charging infrastructure. Read more at Top Gear, or from Electrek. An Oregon Toyota dealership is set to be the world's first net zero energy automotive dealership. The newly constructed, LEED Platinum certified Toyota of Corvallis produces more energy than it consumes, for which it is expected to receive Net Zero Energy certification. The 34,800-square-foot building is equipped with enough solar panels to produce as much energy that the dealership will use, with excess being put back into the grid, which will help during hours of peak demand. Toyota Motor Sales regional manager Steve Haag calls Toyota of Corvallis, "a first-of-its-kind template for the auto dealership of the future." Read more from Toyota. Valeo has introduced a new 48-volt hybrid system. The 48V e4Sport, as it is called, uses a 48-volt battery, electric starter-generator, electric supercharger, and eRAD electric rear axle drive for all-wheel drive. It maximizes regenerative braking and stores that energy for increasing torque with the starter-generator, and increasing acceleration with the electric supercharger. The system also supports all-electric driving modes. Valeo says the system is applicable across all vehicle segments, and works with both gasoline and diesel engines. Read more at Green Car Congress. PSA Group has created its own mobility solutions brand, called Free2Move. Free2Move will handle programs like car sharing, connected services, corporate fleet services, and affordable leasing programs for Peugeot, Citroen, DS, and other PSA partners. "For the PSA Group, mobility means not only making and selling excellent cars, but also offering a full range of mobility solutions," says PSA Group VP of Mobility Services Gregoire Olivier.
