2004 - Porsche Boxster on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

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 offering new tire option for Carrera GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Let's face it: finding new tires for older cars can be challenging if tire manufacturers have stopped carrying the right sizes (this writer went through Hell to find a set of 205/60-13s). But what about tires for low-volume supercars, which use sizes that often won't fit on high-volume production vehicles? The Porsche Carrera GT isn't that old and tires are still available in the correct sizes, but the German automaker has shown its support of keeping them on the road by working with Michelin to give owners yet another tire option. Enter the Carrera GT-specific Pilot Super Sport.
It's common knowledge that tires are one of the most important pieces of the performance puzzle, and Porsche claims that the PSS tires, sized 265/35ZR-19 front and 335/30ZR-20 with Porsche's "N0" rating, will improve the Carrera GT's handling and stability all the way up to its claimed top speed of 205 miles per hour. That's important for a car with razor-sharp handling characteristics. They'll also net drivers a 10-percent increase in fuel economy on regular roads and up to 20 percent on racetracks, Porsche says.
The PSSs use cutting-edge tire technology to harness the Carrera GT's 610-horsepower. They have a dual-compound tread that's different from the inside of the tire to the outside, which, Porsche says, helps steering precision and increases maximum grip. Aramid fibers, which are lightweight but just as strong as steel, are used in the tire's belt to reduce unsprung weight.
Are you the next Porsche 911 GT3 RS or GT2?
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Porsche typically keeps to a suitably fast schedule when it comes to rolling out increasingly hard-core performance versions of the 911. After the 997 Carrera debuted in 2004, the GT3 version followed in 2006, and by the end of the 2007, Porsche had rolled out both the GT3 RS and GT2 versions. Then the facelifted 997.5 came out in 2008 and it was back to the start: the GT3 came in 2009, the GT3 RS and GT2 RS in 2010, and the GT3 RS 4.0 in 2011. But things have slowed down some with the latest 991 generation.
The new Carrera came in 2011 and the GT3 followed in 2012. By recent history's example, we should have at least two more hardcore models by now, but we don't. Maybe the engineers in Zuffenhausen have had their hands full fixing the spontaneous-combustion issues with the existing GT3, or maybe their attentions have been focused elsewhere altogether. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it seems like they're back on the job.
Now we don't know if this prototype foreshadows a new GT3 RS or a GT2, but it sure looks more hard-core than the existing GT3 that many purists have derided as too soft, what with its automatic transmission and four-wheel steering.
Will Roegge makes 4K art of Jeff Zwart's 911 build and run up Pikes Peak
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Will Roegge has turned his camera on Jeff Zwart and provided another gem, this time documenting Zwart's run up Pikes Peak and BBI Autosport. Bertim Besha dropped out of high school, then worked his way up to founding his own shop, BBI, that gathers a crew of tuners who are just as fastidious about their work as the customers are about their cars.
They prepped the 991-series Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Turbo, the product of combining a 911 GT2 that was the most powerful car Zwart drove up the mountain with a GT3 Cup that Zwart thought had the best handling. Two TiAL turbos and a lot of fettling make for a 3.8-liter flat-six with 700 horsepower, 700 pound-feet of torque and a 7,800-rpm redline. Zwart drove it to a heartbreaking second place this year, finishing less than 1.2 seconds behind the Time Attack 1 class winner when his car suffered its first mechanical issue of the week.
The first video below covers Besha, BBI and the build, the second is Zwart's run. As if the visuals weren't enough, sit back and enjoy the shrieking of the "Hill Climb Special," which is what the constellation Sirius would sound like if it could bark.
