See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Good body, interior leather worn, good tires and wheels, good brakes, good trans, previos owner was a smoker, convertible top needs work, not running, needs engine work (maybe head gasket?)"

Recently grabbed this Porsche thinking I could do some quick electrical fixes and drive it,,,

turns out bad compression on engine (no test done, just shop told me seemed like no compression when they turned it over to listen) and needs more work than I'm willing to put into it.

It does NOT run at the moment. 212k miles on odometer.

So now need the funds to put into a different daily driver.

It is currently registered and in my name, just needs smog (after engine work).

Arctic Silver Body is super nice and straight. Paint is good.

Tires and wheels are good. 18" Turbo twist rims.

Interior not so good. Leather is kinda dry/torn, carpet a bit faded...basically needs a good cleaning and some seat covers. Rear vinyl window missing in top. Cable mounts for top broken, so top needs to be manually put up and down until fixed.

I replaced the ignition switch (common prob on these) before I found out that more engine work is needed, so switch is brand new.

Has disc changer and premium sound.

This car would be sweet if you have a few bucks and some time to put into it!

No guarantees written or implied.

I have all DMV reg papers, title is on its way in the mail, all fees paid, just needs smog after engine is running again.

I will have it delivered for free if you live within 80 miles of location, otherwise buyer responsible for pickup/transport.

The 2014 Ruf RCT offers rear-drive action with 911 Turbo fun

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Ruf has 37 years of experience of turning Porsches into even higher performance machines. For the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it's unveiling the RCT, or Ruf Carrera Turbo, which offers power to split the difference between Porsche's 911 Turbo and Turbo S models.
The RCT starts with a unique body kit with a new front air dam and drastically changed rear deck that combines both a small spoiler and air intake. Power is provided by a twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter flat-six with 525 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque paired to either a seven-speed manual or seven-speed dual clutch transmission. That gives the Ruf a 5-hp and 15-lb-ft advantage over Porsche's own Turbo but is still less powerful than the full Turbo S. The RCT sprints to 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and to a top speed of 196 mph.
However, the Ruf's big advantage is that it offers buyers the choice of either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while Stuttgart's turbo models are only available spinning all four wheels. The RCT can also offers upgrades like an integrated roll cage and custom suspension packages, should the buyer be so inclined to splash out on racing kit.

Audi welcomes Porsche back to Le Mans like any sibling would

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.
Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.
Take a look below for a video to see just what that teasing looks like.
