2004 - Porsche Boxster on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Up for sale is our 2004 Porsche Boxster S Commemorative Edition. It is one of 1953 vehicles produced to honor the Porsche 550 Spyder, which was introduced at the 1953 Paris motor Show. We have enjoyed this car (along with our 1964 SC sunroof coupe and our 1980 911) but now an older restoration project (SImca 8 Sport) is looking to be funded. There are a number of features of this Anniversary Boxster S that are unique…… no one of them significant, but the collection of small differences made the car very attractive for us. (1) At the time of production it had the highest output engine offered in the Boxster model line….. horsepower at 264 and a top speed of 165 mph (2) An extremely handsome all leather interior in a dark charcoal. (Many of the anniversary cars had a burgundy interior, which many people might prefer; I didn’t want to look at a burgundy steering wheel.) (3) This particular car (numbered 1077 of 1953) had a special feature requested by the first owner, and that was the option of “console delete”. That choice reminded me of the dash on our 356 SC. That silly little feature had a big impact on me. No plastic cassette storage cases / compartments hanging under the dash, just carpet between the dash and the shifter. It made the car seem more open and roomy. (4) The 18” wheels with “Seal Grey” centers and polished perimeters stood out as being so very different. (I did however, purchase a set of of 18” Porsche Carrera in all aluminum for a more traditional look if I felt like it…….never put them on) (5) Car is finished in GT Silver Metallic, a color only found on the Carrera GT. Those were the major elements that made this commemorative model special for us. Additional unique features mattered a less, but let me mention them. (6) The M030 Sport Suspension Package (7) Short Shifter (15% shorter) (8) Brake calipers carry a silver finish (9) Silver painted grills above the rear wheel openings (10) Special stainless steel tailpipe designed for this car (11) High end Bose sound system Importantly, this car has had the Intermediate Shaft Bearing correction kit installed (3,000) but worth every penny not having to worry about that issue. So that’s it !

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.
'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
Mark Webber treats Maria Sharapova to a Porsche 918 Spyder joyride
Tue, 29 Apr 2014We don't much like Mark Webber right now. Part of being a racing driver is dealing with promotional stuff. It's not hard to find a driver that can't stand all this nonsense, whether it be promoting a product, meeting investors or attending some obscure event. Even a driver of Webber's caliber - a former Formula One driver for Red Bull Racing and a member of Porsche's factory Le Mans team - has to serve his time at the promo events.
Somehow, though, we don't think the Aussie driver minds this particular promo detail. In the video below, Webber attends the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. He then takes tennis superstar Maria Sharapova out for a spin behind the wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder. The level of jealousy at the Autoblog office is palpable.
Take a look below for the video. And as we're super jealous of Mr. Webber, hop into Comments and caption the above photo based on what you think he's saying to Maria. Bonus points if you can work "vegemite" into the caption.
