[2013 Porsche Panamera Gts] :::enthusiastowned:::welloptioned:::44highrespics::: on 2040-cars
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
Purchased brand new from Champion Porsche, this single-owner 2013 Panamera GTS was custom ordered with many factory options that are not usually spec'd. Finished in Jet black, this car has the SportDesign sideskirts ($1,390), painted Rear Apron ($680), 20" Turbo II wheels ($1,820), Color Crested center caps ($185) and 3M window tint ($250) make this car look even more aggressive. Open the door and the Illuminated Carbon Fiber Door Sill Guards ($1,850) welcome you to the Carmine GTS interior package ($3,450), which is a combination of leather & alcantara with red seatbelts and deviated stitching throughout. The Guards Red Sport Chrono timer ($500) and Fire Extinguisher ($240) were added to match, and the Carbon Interior Package ($1,990) contrasts the aluminum trim to make the cabin feel extremely exotic. Upgraded Bose Surround Sound System ($1,440), SAT/XM/HD receiver ($1,120), and Park Assist+Reverse Camera ($1,255) take the PCM nav system a step beyond. The rear passengers this car never carried were not forgotten either!.. Four Zone Climate Control ($1,020) extend the carbon fiber to the rear console and Electronic Rollup Shades ($890) provide additional privacy. Porsche Entry & Drive ($1,090) and Servotronic ($270) are creature comforts the driver gets to enjoy. There is also a ClearBra ($900) installed by the dealer on the front bumper, which is all but invisible unless you feel the edge.
The car was built with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector in lieu of the standard alcantara because it does not show wear (those who know oils from your skin deteriorate alcantara touch points very quickly). I also refused to delete the Panamera GTS decals on the leading edge of the front doors and trunk badge because while they are a subtle, they denote this car is not a pedestrian Panamera. All chrome trim is blacked out on GTS models (headlights and exhaust tips too) and the red Turbo brakes compliment the interior perfectly. Pictures honestly do not do this car justice - even the dealer said this was the nicest Panamera he had sold. It is a fantastic driving experience - the sport exhaust makes the 4.8L V8 sound like a 60's muscle car (it really does) and Sport/SportPlus mode provide an incredible driving experience (not exaggerating, its size defies logical physics) This car really is the answer to a sports cars' lack of practicality and to a large degree, eliminates the need for a 911. It is a head turner without screaming it. It eats up the road with ease and covers ground effortlessly. I have driven more than my fair share of performance cars and this car truly is one of my favorites. It has belonged to my mother since new and she enjoyed it on the state roads of NH in the summers. In cliche terms, it really is a mint condition bone stock, non-smoker, middle aged female-driven, highway miles example and has not seen winter, or a track for that matter! We are long time auto enthusiasts and take excellent care of the cars. For instance, oil was changed before scheduled services (as an out of pocket expense) for preventative maintenance because 15k miles is too much IMO! It now resides in our air-conditioned warehouse in South Florida and is not being driven anymore until sold. An unlucky situation for a divorcee is going to be someone's good fortune. While this vehicle DOES have a clean Carfax and has NEVER been in an accident, I want to disclose that it has had cosmetic damage repaired. Last year, the two drivers side doors were carelessly scraped in a parking lot. I researched body shops for weeks until entrusting it to Mike's Auto Body in Malden, MA who did a truly stellar job. I am that jerk when it comes to bodywork and can tell you the paint and orange peel match is excellent, enough so that I am as proud to openly share this about the vehicles history. I also have photographs of the prior damage to prove it was not a significant wreck and will absolutely provide them to a serious buyer to ease any concerns. Besides that, the only other flaw is the original tires are near the end of their life. Pirellis aren't exactly known for their durability, so >20k miles on a car this size speaks volumes about how the car was driven.. I think I have answered most questions but if you have any thing further you'd like to know, please feel free to contact me directly! img host |

Porsche creates 'symphony' with seven generations of 911
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At Porsche, things are getting a bit wild on the 50th anniversary year of the 911. To celebrate it (again) in yet another inventive way, the automaker has called on the musical talents of seven generations of the rear-engine sports car (please suspend your disbelief, at least for the length of the video, and assume that generation two started in 1974) to perform a song that has eight notes. We're wondering which 911 is pulling double duty...
But before the Porsches are lined up for the short recital, the drivers let loose and drift them inside a hangar. Watch the video below, and tell us in comments which was more impressive: the song or the drifting.
VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.

All Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.
