1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Convertible 2-door 3.6l 964 on 2040-cars
Cliffside Park, New Jersey, United States

With the exception of a few disparate models scattered over the decades, Porsche has built its fame and fortune on a single rear-engine sports car, the 911. From rather humble beginnings, the Porsche 911 has gone on to be one of the most influential and most recognizable vehicles in the world. Although other sports cars have been able to outperform the 911 in one area or another, nothing has yet to match Porsche's overall blend of performance, practicality and that endearing connection between car and driver. This 964 version of the car provides stunning levels of performance without sacrificing much in terms of day-to-day usability, and many Porsche purists still consider the 911 the only "real" Porsche. In Cabriolet form, they only built 600 of them for the US and Canadian market combined! Considering that the split was about 60% US to 40% CN, and included C-2 and C-4 models with 5-speed and tiptronic, there can't be too many of these around! Especially as original and fine as this one! With an MSRP of about seventy nine thousand, it's a true bargain today This rare and highly sought after 1990 Porsche Carrera 964 Cabriolet is the last generation of the HAND BUILT chassis. A very high grade car with impeccable service records. Built with 4-speed Tiptronic transmission, tan leather interior, full power cabriolet top, climate control A/C-heat, power steering, power door locks, ABS brakes, driver and passenger air bags, full 8-way power drivers seat with lumbar, 6- speaker stereo sound system, power windows, central locking with factory alarm, cruise control, leather seats, all-around, power/heatable rear view mirrors, intermittent wipers, halogen H-5 headlamps, 16-inch wheels, retracting power rear spoiler, Guards red paint work is immaculate considering the age of the original paint. Central to the this car's strong personality is its marvelous 3.6-liter flat-six engine. Producing 247 hp at 6100 rpm and 229 pound-feet of torque at 4800, this powerplant has plenty of low-rev grunt, and yet it pulls fiercely right up to its 6800-rpm redline. No money were spared on this car. Exhaust system replaced with upgraded high flow dual outlet stainless steel Fabspeed system; performance DME E-Prom from Autothority Engineering; upgraded rear bumper cover to accommodate dual outlet performance stainless exhaust; updated convertible folding top assembly with left and right gear mechanism; brakes serviced at 47201, Tiptronic transmission maintenance service performed at the same time; oil change done at 42775-passed enhanced emissions and safety inspection at the same time; new ZF steering rack with new rubber mounting bushings; new Interstate battery; new ZF steering pump with belt; alternator with new belts; major service done within the last 2000 miles; new spark plugs, distributor caps, rotors; cam covers resealed, timing chain cases resealed, crank seals all replaced with major service; invoices available detailing all work done by a German specialty service center. Continental DWS tires on rear wheels are new, 2 front continental tires are in need of replacement but no cords exposed; There are a few imperfections which I am aware of with photos in this listing. The right door edge half way up has a small crease which Im sure happened in my garage. The front hood has a small coin sized dent to the right of the Porsche emblem which can be corrected with painless dent. A small car accident (2/2011) to the front bumper cover ended up as small crack above the right turn indicator and scratch marks which are barely visible. The under side of the front bumper is pushed up slightly and the sheet metal underside slightly creased from contact with a concrete parking block. I valet parked the car one night and didn't notice it until days later which is very aggravating. Canvas top has a slight 20 millimeter tear on it left side. This section of the top is double layered and the tear is only on the outer portion of the canvas. There is no hole which goes right through canvas to the interior. The right tail light has hairline cracks from aging plastic lens but no moisture has entered. Some of the hand tools are missing from the tool pouch but jack and air compressor are ok. Im sure they are in my garage somewhere but can't seem to find them. Plastic surround trim to in dash cd player cracked and fell off. The leather steering wheel and leather shift knob are in excellent condition. The drivers seat side bolster shows some wear, discoloration and cracking but no tears or holes. I have many more photos but listing only allowed 24 photos. I can send more photos of specific areas at your request. Lastly I've owned this car since 2003 which I purchased with roughly 30,000 miles. |

Porsche 918 Spyder to birth stretched 2+2 version?
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Porsche is known for its ability to spin off a litter of variants from a single model, and according to a report in Automobile the 918 Spyder (pictured here) might not be spared the house trick. Having taken too many brains and too much money for too much time, company chiefs are said to be examining ways to get more for their development euro out of the supercar, and Plan A is apparently otherwise known as Plan 984. That would be a four-seater, rear-wheel drive supercar that uses a stretched mold of the 918's carbon fiber tub, keeping the V8 in the same mid-mounted place and costing around 350,000 euro.
That would be less than half the MSRP of its inspiration, but the details don't sketch out a car that's just half as good. Automobile speculates it would get something like 700 horsepower in order to best the coming 911 GT2, and about 440 pound-feet of torque. The 984 is quite a ways short of being confirmed; even though a full-size study is said to exist, it's like the 918 would need to become a bigger sales hit for the 984 to happen.
The 984's fortunes don't change those of the 960, the supercoupe Porsche is building to challenge Ferrari. Its potential specs haven't changed since the last report in January, power coming from a 5.0-liter, twin-turbo, eight-cylinder boxer engine with something like 650 hp pushing a curb weight of roughly 3,100 pounds. The means a suspected 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of 2.5 seconds.
Porsche 911 already testing next refresh
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The latest Porsche 911 may still be a newer car, but that hasn't stopped the German company from starting development of a facelifted version of the rear-engined sports car, testing in what looks like southern Europe.
Due to hit the market in 2015, our spies think what we're seeing here is the new GTS variant, which, following the evolution of the last-generation 911, will make its debut on the facelifted car. Featuring the wider rear haunches of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, the GTS should enjoy a slight power boost, to 408 ponies.
Aesthetically, there are some additional vents in the rear bodywork, along with a revised front bumper and tweaked day-time running lights. The taillights get some attention as well, and will likely grow over the current car's skinny rear lamps.
The 2014 Ruf RCT offers rear-drive action with 911 Turbo fun
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Ruf has 37 years of experience of turning Porsches into even higher performance machines. For the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it's unveiling the RCT, or Ruf Carrera Turbo, which offers power to split the difference between Porsche's 911 Turbo and Turbo S models.
The RCT starts with a unique body kit with a new front air dam and drastically changed rear deck that combines both a small spoiler and air intake. Power is provided by a twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter flat-six with 525 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque paired to either a seven-speed manual or seven-speed dual clutch transmission. That gives the Ruf a 5-hp and 15-lb-ft advantage over Porsche's own Turbo but is still less powerful than the full Turbo S. The RCT sprints to 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and to a top speed of 196 mph.
However, the Ruf's big advantage is that it offers buyers the choice of either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while Stuttgart's turbo models are only available spinning all four wheels. The RCT can also offers upgrades like an integrated roll cage and custom suspension packages, should the buyer be so inclined to splash out on racing kit.
