2008 Porsche Boxster S Convertible 2-door 3.4l, 6 Speed Manual, Beautiful Cond on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
This car is in terrific condition with low miles for it's age. Garage kept and stored for the winter, this is about as clean as an 2008 Boxster S is going to get. The convertible top is tight and clean. No major dents or scratches. Up to date on all maintenance. I'm the second owner of this car and I've only put about 7k miles on it in three years as it's my weekend car. Though I garage the car for the winters, I know people who drive these year-round and say they only have problems on the worst snow days. Both the original owner and I purchased this from the Porsche Exchange near Chicago and all maintenance records are there.
This car has the 18" wheels (which are better), the 6-speed manual transmission (which is what you want), and the 295 hp 3.4 liter engine (which is fast!). Tires have plenty of wear left on them and the clutch and brakes are good. Clean title, no accidents, no problems. These Boxster's are amazing cars for the price. They handle like they are on rail and stop on a dime. The steering feel is truly the best in the business and the car never looses it's composure in any driving situation. Basalt Black as the very best color for this model and between the roadster look and the burble of the high-compression flat 6, it always turns heads. I love this car every time I drive it, but am going to try something different for a while. But I fully expect to be back in a Porsche in the future. This is the roadster you're looking for the summer. By the way, buying from a private party will save you significant sales taxes over buying from a dealer!

Proof the world revolves around the Porsche Cayman
Sat, 27 Apr 2013Or at least the world revolves underneath the Porsche Cayman, in the latest video showing off Stuttgart's mid-engine coupe. Porsche put an Easter egg in the world that spins triple-time, a "famous relative" of the Cayman hidden somewhere on the marble planet, and gave a Porsche Martini bag to one of the first 50 people who could point it out.
With more than 300 views there's no chance you'll win the bag, but you can still go on the treasure hunt in the video below.
2014 Porsche 911 Targa takes its crop-top off in Motor City
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Back in 1965, Porsche invented the 911 Targa as a matter necessity. Believing that a finicky National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was prepared to outlaw convertibles, the innovative automaker created the half-open car as a way to keep wind rushing through owners' hair. Though far removed from those formative days, it seems as though the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa has come to the Detroit Auto Show with a new-school version of some old-school tech.
While the last Targa featured a trick sliding glass roof at the touch of the button, the new car dramatically swallows a traditional-looking panel via an exceptionally complex-looking mechanical operation. The net result is "the same fun factor and freedom" that can be had with a complete convertible, though with slightly more open-driving protection while underway.
And, as is the case with all of the current 911 range, getting underway can be done with reasonable rapidity. The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.
Take a POV hot lap in the Porsche 918 Spyder
Mon, 14 Apr 2014That title about says it all. This is a hot lap of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX, with Porsche Works Driver Patrick Long at the wheel of a Porsche 918 Spyder. The camera is basically showing us everything that Long sees, making this not just one of the coolest 918 videos we've seen, but also one of the neatest laps of CoTA.
As Long peers through the bends, so will you. You'll see him fight the wheel, and find out just how difficult it is to hustle this hybrid hypercar around a world-class track at speed. It's pretty darn entertaining. There are also a few scattered shots of the 918's exterior just to break up the interior awesomeness, although we aren't exactly complaining about those. Take a look below for the short video from Porsche.
