1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
Labelle, Florida, United States
We have had him now going on 10 years. It's a great car for speed, the faster you go the greater the stability. It will hugs the ground in curves and turns like no other. This 911 will not disappoint you, he has a tight finely tuned 5 speed manual transmission and you can go through the gears like butter they are so close. New tires where installed several months ago on him and is a pure joy to drive. If you have a need for speed this is your answer! He has been well taken care of over these years and needs to go to someone that will enjoy this fine tuned machine.
This 1987 Carrera
represented the last version of the 911 to still be based upon the original
design that dated back to the mid 1960’s. Keeping essentially the same shape
for almost 60 years, Porsche has been content to make only incremental,
progressive changes from year to year, and the lightweight construction of the
911, combined with its finely-tuned driving dynamics contributed to a very
quick car that is solid through the corners. The engine in this Porsche 911 Carrera is air cooled, and has an improved electric fan design added to help cool down the oil in the engine when it was built. A new 5 speed transmission was installed when it was made that functioned better than previous 911’s. It was combined with a mechanical clutch to make the vehicle much easier to drive.
The 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera remains a popular vehicle amongst collectors and racers alike. The light weight of the car also makes it quite surefooted in road and track environments. The 1987 Porsche 911’s easily holds a special place in automotive history and is a sports car icon, it is one of the purest sports cars made of the 80’s.
There are no guarantees or warranties with this vehicle, and the vehicle is sold "where is, as is". Serious Bidders only.

Porsche Cayman GTS in track battle with 996 GT3
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Here's your tough question of the day: Would you rather drive a new Porsche Cayman GTS or a slightly older, 996-era Porsche 911 GT3? Certainly, both cars have their plusses. The Cayman is the more modern proposition, sure, but the GT3 is, well, a GT3. So yes, it's a tough decision.
If you're one of the lucky souls that have to make that choice, then this video from Evo should prove pretty helpful. It's a track battle, starring Jethro Bovingdon with a new GTS and an old GT3.
Calling the GTS "fantastically agile" and "fast, but it's also hilariously good fun," Bovingdon bangs home a solid lap time of 1:05.2 before switching to the GT3. It's remarkable to see just how dated the 996-generation 911 looks after viewing the newer Porsche, and from where we sit, it's further proof that the old car's headlights are something that's best forgotten. Styling qualms aside, though, can the GT3 keep up with its racy younger cousin?
Porsche 959 Prototype started it all
Wed, 11 Sep 2013While Porsche was unveiling the new Nürburgring-dominating 918 Spyder downstairs in Hall 3 here at the Frankfurt Messe, there was another Porsche supercar quietly and discretely on display upstairs in the same hall. That, of course, was the 959. But not just any 959: this was the original Gruppe B prototype.
The 959 was first developed as a rally car in the early 80s to compete with the likes of the original Audi Sport Quattro S1, Ford RS200 and Lancia Delta S4. But Zuffenhausen soon saw its potential as a production road-going supercar, emerging as a technological marvel to challenge the decidedly linear approach of the Ferrari F40. It still stands as a groundbreaking supercar in its own right, but also lead to the first all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo and set the stage for the Carrera GT and aforementioned 918 Spyder that followed to cap the top of the evolving Porsche range.
This original Gruppe B prototype, which presaged the production 959, packed a 450-horsepower 2.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six into an even sleeker form than the final version that followed. We caught up with it on display as part of a display of 80s German classics, of which this 959 prototype immediately stood out as the pick of the proverbial litter.

Porsche 911 celebrates 50 years of iconic motoring
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Back in 1963, Porsche debuted the very first 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And over the last 50 years, that coupe has grown to become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. That in mind, you could easily chalk up this 50th Anniversary model as just one of the many special edition 911s that have graced our roads over the years, but dig a bit deeper and you'll see that this one is far more than just some unique paint and different wheels.
For starters, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition utilizes the wider Carrera 4/4S body, but retains its standard rear-wheel-drive configuration. Power comes from the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but features a Powerkit upgrade that includes the Sport Chrono package and ups overall output to 400 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. Hitting 60 miles per hour takes just 3.8 seconds if the car is fitted with Porsche's dual-clutch PDK gearbox, or 4.2 seconds if you choose the row-your-own seven-speed manual. Talk about going Over The Hill with a quickness.
Despite looking pretty tame, we're really hot on the appearance of this special 911, with its throwback flat gray paint job and new 20-inch wheels that look remarkably similar to the original Fuchs alloys of the 1963 model. Inside, you'll find green lettering on the instrument displays, white pointer needles and silver accents, and the leather seats have a fabric insert that's similar to the Pepita cloth from the original 911.
