Porsche 550 Spyder - Recreation By Vintage Spyders on 2040-cars
Taneytown, Maryland, United States
|
This is a solid recreation of a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, tube frame and all, built by Vintage Spyders in 2003. The race number, 351, is that sported by Hans Herman, while driving a 550 to a class win in the 1954 Mille Miglia. (I'll leave out the James Dean owner/racer references) The numbers are 'static cling' and easily removed, although I think they add to the car's patina. It's a very attractive vehicle, drawing admiring looks, wherever it goes. Powered by a 2300cc, air cooled, race-bred, flat 4 produced by CB Performance, this car is like a pair of good sneakers, with wheels! The engine is rated at 165 hp and moves the less than 1500 lb vehicle in a 'spritely' manner. (translation: it's a blast!) Recent full engine tune insures all the horses are engaged, and multiple small tweaks make the overall package more fun than should be allowed. (includes a re-aligned shifter, the better to downshift and get that authentic pop, pop out of the single, large diameter tailpipe - insert 'grins') Also, if for some unknown reason you want to slow down, the optional 4-wheel disks do a great job. An excellent tonneau cover, car washing tested, is included. For those who may want to go-beat-the-other-guys in a 'friendly' game of autocross, a substantial roll bar is also part of the deal. Want looks, performance and big grins, this car offers them all!! Ask any questions you want, and I will answer them in a timely and honest manner, to the best of my ability. Please note that this car will be sold, in the near future. Increasingly troubled right knee forces this unwanted decision. Thanks for your interest. |

Maserati adds rear seats to GranTurismo MC Stradale for Geneva
Wed, 27 Feb 2013More seats inside the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale means the possibility of a wider audience in more ways than one. Currently only available as a two-seater (we don't get the Stradale version, we get the four-seat GranTurismo MC), the addition of back seats will allow twice as many folks inside, and add the car to the purchase lists of those who need to carry more than two souls in their race-derived, 470-horsepower luxury coupes.
Furthermore, the MC Stradale now gets a carbon fiber hood with an air intakes and extractors, 20-inch alloys and new materials inside. It will take the A-lister's spot on the Maserati stand at the Geneva Motor Show, making its world debut alongside the European debut of the new Quattroporte. The press release below can tell you more.
Autocar compares new Maserati Quattroporte to Jaguar XJ
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe took the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte on a spin along snowy mountain roads to test it for a specific brief: as a limousine for the chauffeured class. It's sporting credentials are impressive: Twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8, 532 horsepower, 475 pound-feet of torque in casual circumstances that rises to 532 lb-ft in overboost, a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour sprint of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph.
However, citing Maserati's desire to not just increase its sales to 50,000-per-annum by 2015, but to sell many more of its cars in China, Sutcliffe wanted to find out if the livery side of the Quattroporte could match its sport sedan side. So after taking the pilot's seat and trying out the sport settings, Sutcliffe hops in back to test out the CEO's seat.
Then he compares the Quattroporte against the long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ with its supercharged V8, a sedan that's 15,000 pounds less expensive than the Maserati. It doesn't take long for him to find that one of them is a clear winner when it comes to transporting VIPs. To find out which one, enjoy the video below.
2014 Maserati Ghibli
Wed, 26 Jun 2013Italy Passionately Returns To The Sport Sedan Game
In its 99-year history, Maserati has arguably never made a vehicle as important as this all-new Ghibli.
Of course, there have been countless styling breakthroughs, mechanical advances and technical innovations, but no single passenger car has been required to bear the weight of the Italian company like its brand-new sport sedan. If the Ghibli succeeds, Maserati will welcome tens of thousands of new customers and, most importantly, celebrate a rekindled relationship with demanding North American buyers. If the Ghibli fails - well, the truth is, nobody has written an option for failure.
