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 !

Porsche planning Cayman GT4 racer

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

To say that Porsche is big in racing is like saying that Warren Buffett dabbles in mergers and acquisitions. But while it fields the 919 Hybrid at Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship, the bulk of its racing activities are undertaken by private teams that buy customer racecars from the factory. Those in turn are largely based on the 911, but the latest intel from the motor racing world indicates that Zuffenhausen is planning a more accessible customer race car.
The new, more affordable competition car is to be based on the Cayman and built to GT4 specifications, slotting in below the 911-based GT3 Cup, GT3 R and RSR. Autosport reports that Porsche has already developed a prototype and will shortly commence testing. Details are scarce at the moment, but the Cayman GT4 would seem to compete against the likes of the Aston Martin Vantage N24, Nissan 370Z Nismo GT4 and Maserati GranTurismo MC. It will also likely help Porsche foster enthusiasm for a potential road version that's already been spotted undergoing testing. Previous GT4 racing conversions of the Cayman, like the one pictured above, were carried out by third-party racing constructors not recognized by the factory.
Porsche may not be the only one showing interest in the category, however. BMW is said to similarly be considering a GT4-spec version of its M235i Racing model to compete in the same class, taking the place of the defunct M3 GT4 as the Bavarian marque's entry-level customer racing car.

Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.

Porsche undecided on new 911 GT2 [w/poll]

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Fans of hardcore 911s had it pretty good with the last 997 generation. There was the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 and GT2 RS (pictured above). Each one was faster, more powerful and more expensive than the one below it, but what they all shared was what Porsche purists love most: rear engine, rear drive, a manual transmission and little else.
So far with the new 991, Porsche has only released a GT3 version. Sure, there have been other models, but they're all decidedly more luxurious and less performance-focused. And as impressive a machine as the new GT3 is, it has run the risk of alienating some of its most ardent fanatics with technological interference in the form of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel steering. So what those purists have really been looking forward to is a more hardcore GT3 RS or new GT2. But those may not be coming so quickly.
Speaking with 911 project chief August Achleitner, Car and Driver reports that a new GT2 is anything but a foregone conclusion. The reasons may be partially political, but could be technical in nature as well: with 560 horsepower driving all four wheels, the new 911 Turbo S runs the 0-60 in less than three seconds. Give it more power but less traction, as Porsche has done with past GT2s, and you may not end up seeing an actual improvement in performance. A GT2 that's slower than the Turbo S would be difficult to explain.
