VIN: WP0CA29854L001079 Exterior: A1 - Black Commission #: 507489 Additional Equipment This is a fixed price eBay Motors auction and open to offers here on eBay prior to it being offered at one of the major automobile auctions across the country. Please consider the auction houses buyer and sellers premiums you can expect to pay (20%?) so this pre offering should prove a better use of your cash. For sure every GT was a special build but this one was given even more personal attention during the initial design and hand build process in the Leipzig facility so this car does come at a premium. This car really has not changed ownership and is now owned by one of the biggest Ferrari collectors who has decided to sell it only because it is not a core marque car for his collection. This GT is in excellent condition and has been well cared for as part of a collection not as a driver. Clutch inspection, recall, and mandatory service have been preformed at factory certified Porsche Carrera GT service centre. Your inspection is welcomed and if you wish a factory certified Porsche Carrera GT centre inspection we can provide you with a PPI. Not all Porsche dealers are Carrera GT Certified. Books and Two keys will be provided to you as well as past ownership documentation. Without question the Super Cars conceived out of Zuffenhausen, GT1, Carrera GT, and now the 918 are all limited production, significant, and are beyond the driving capabilities of most mortals. The GT1 and Carrera GT are both iconic investment quality cars and buying one is a great achievement but owning one of only a few true collector builds with correct miles and history should bode well in the years to come. Just 604 Carrera GT cars were imported by PCNA to the US market with PAG worldwide production ending up at 1270 units. It is doubtful we will see cars such as the McLaren F1 or Carrera GT ever built again, they are raw unforgiving street legal racing machinery so nasty they are perfect. Cars have changed right before our eyes due to technologies and innovations and looking not too far back we can see the gems that changed road performance cars forever. Buy the correct ones now. There is plenty of online information and books on the subject but just incase you are not aware of what this car is all about but here is a short background on the GT from MSN noting the Carrera GT as one of the best investment cars:
Racing is in Porsche's DNA, but when an opportunity arises, the wizards in Zuffenhausen are quick to seize it. Left with the chassis for an unused open-cockpit Le Mans racer and a V10 engine first developed with Formula One in mind Porsche combined the two in a concept that was a hit at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show. This led to the production of the Carrera GT, a mid engine supercar with a carbon-fiber chassis and body that was powered by a 5.7-liter version of this V10 engine, coupled to a 6-speed manual gearbox through a ceramic composite clutch — the first of its kind. With 612 horsepower on tap at 8000 rpm, the GT sprinted to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, on to a top speed of 205 mph, with ceramic brakes to haul it back down. Any questions on the car, shipping, or payment please ask away and I will get back to you. |

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
Porsche planning more plug-ins
Mon, Jan 5 2015Which automaker offers the most plug-in models in the industry? The answer may surprise you, because it's not Toyota, it's not Renault or Nissan or any other automaker that might spring to mind. The answer is Porsche, which already offers the Cayenne and Panamera in plug-in hybrid spec in addition to the 918 Spyder. And it could offer more in the near future. Speaking with Automotive News, Porsche's global sales and marketing chief Bernhard Maier spoke of the importance of plug-in range-extended models to the company's future plans. The 55-year-old executive, who endeavors to make his 56-mile round-trip daily commute from home to the company's headquarters in Stuttgart entirely emissions free, indicated that his company only plans to offer more plug-in models. Previous reports indicated that E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera wouldn't fit in the Macan, and that no such plans were in store for the Boxster, Cayman or 911. But when asked what Porsche had in store for the future, Maier replied: "We have a lot of ideas, but we have not approved them for production yet. The 918 Spyder shows that Porsche has the capability to produce very convincing hybrid sports cars." While clearly guarded, Maier's answer points to a future of more plug-in hybrid models from the storied German marque. All that remains to be seen is whether that will come in the form of a Boxster, Cayman, Macan or another new model altogether, like the rumored mini-Panamera dubbed Pajun or a mid-engined V8 supercar.
