The Porsche 356C was the final model of the 356 before it was replaced by the 911. The T6 body featured a larger windshield, larger rear glass, twin engine grilles, a fuel filler moved to the fender, a squared off front hood and improved interior ventilation. The C is distinguishable by the flat hubcaps denoting the 4-wheel disc brakes which provide outstanding performance.. Porsche used their experience in racing to develop an extremely rigid body with a low centre of gravity weighing only 1990 lbs. The front and rear torsion bar suspension compliments the precise steering and the 741 gearbox shifts with accuracy and ease. Those of us who have enjoyed owning them can attest to their attributes. The drive is exemplary giving either a relaxing highway cruise or classic Porsche road holding down a twisting road.
This car was stripped to bare metal and colour changed from red to white. Stoddard's supplied most of the restoration parts. The engine was built in California as a 1750, and produces more power and torque than the stock C engine which was rated at 88 horsepower.The interior is beautifully appointed with the correct square weave carpet, then trimmed in tan leather from Auto's International. This car would suit a 356 afficianado looking for an appreciating classic that can be driven daily. It has been fully inspected by our factory Porsche technicians here at Porsche Centre Victoria, and is ready to drive and enjoy.
I welcome any questions you may have.

We are always looking for classic air cooled cars, and offer special winter-pricing on project work. We can arrange pick up and drop off with our enclosed trailer.

**Note this car is advertised locally and through other media and this listing may be cancelled at any time.**

Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.

Take a POV hot lap in the Porsche 918 Spyder

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

That title about says it all. This is a hot lap of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX, with Porsche Works Driver Patrick Long at the wheel of a Porsche 918 Spyder. The camera is basically showing us everything that Long sees, making this not just one of the coolest 918 videos we've seen, but also one of the neatest laps of CoTA.
As Long peers through the bends, so will you. You'll see him fight the wheel, and find out just how difficult it is to hustle this hybrid hypercar around a world-class track at speed. It's pretty darn entertaining. There are also a few scattered shots of the 918's exterior just to break up the interior awesomeness, although we aren't exactly complaining about those. Take a look below for the short video from Porsche.

Overnight action from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

We won't go into a recap here, but there are still leading positions being fought for in all classes - it's so close that leads are changing when a car goes into the pits. We'll let the recap wait until the end of the race, so for now enjoy some shots from last night's action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
