Porsche 1992 America Roadster
This is most likely the lowest mileage Porsche 964 American Roadster left, a one owner car with only 3373 miles
since new. Finished in black 'Schwartz' with Tan leather interior this car was bought new in 1992 and has remained
with its first and only owner throughout its life.
In 1952 the fledgling Porsche company had its eyes set on what would become its biggest marked, that of North
America. Sticking to Dr. Porsches ethos of an efficient and fast two seater they produced a no nonsense sportster
dubbed the 'America Roadster,’ only 25 examples were manufactured, all but one sold to the US market.
Fast forward forty years to 1992, Porsche had built a legend in the 911 originally designed by Ferdinand
‘Butzi’ Porsche in 1964, now in what is considered the final iteration of the classic body shell the 964 had
evolved into a thoroughly modern car with all of the expected creature comforts and safety equipment expected in
the modern world.
To celebrate the anniversary of the 25 cars from forty years earlier Porsche reintroduced the formula for a short
run of 964 models, producing in the process 250 of the 964 'America Roadsters.’ Utilizing a Turbo wide body
convertible it was equipped with such features as special 17” Cup wheels, turbo brakes and suspension, a rear
seat delete - making it strictly a two seater and a fully electric convertible top. Keeping the lines clean, the
rear spoiler was that of the regular Carrera 2 and 4 - a speed activated electric unit housed in the engine lid.
Powered was generated by the normally aspirated flat six rated at 280hp
Finished in solid black (Schwarz) with Tan interior featuring Ruffled leather seats, condition is as ‘showroom
fresh’ as you are ever likely to see, the paint finish is factory Porsche original, all factory applied finishes
and stickers are present. Toolkit, tire compressor, spare tire bag and tire changing gloves are of course included
and unused. This car was optioned with a Tiptronic transmission, making it rarer still as only 41 cars were so
equipped.
Having just had a full service and maintenance update by the local Porsche main dealer it is on the button for the
new owner.

Porsche celebrates 5M Facebook fans with crowdsourced one-off 911
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Porsche's Facebook fan base appears to be accelerating as quickly as the cars it builds. The German automaker has just unveiled a special 911 Carrera 4S designed with crowdsourced input as a way to thank its five million Facebook fans.
The 911 features special Aquablaumetallic paint from Porsche Exclusive, contrasting 20-inch white Carrera S wheels and pinstriping, along with an aero package including a fixed rear wing. Inside, there are unique backlit sill plates and the obligatory dashboard engraving that says "Personally Built by 5 Million Porsche Fans."
As a way to turn at least one virtual thumbs up into its more meaningful physical-world equivalent, Porsche is holding a contest to win the chance to drive the car at Britain's Silverstone racetrack - and bring a friend - and nine lucky runners-up will win 1:43-scale models of the 911.

Motor Trend hits Laguna Seca with Ferrari F12, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911
Thu, 26 Sep 2013According to the crew at Motor Trend, we should think of the video below "as an addendum to Best Driver's Car," a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn't able to take part in the magazine's official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other - the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in - but that's not the point of this particular test.
The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.
Porsche 356 Outlaw is the other Continental
Wed, 25 Jun 2014In Porsche parlance, 'outlaw' basically means 'hot rod,' and that definition can vary from person to person. For Jack Griffin and his 1955 Porsche 356 Continental, it means taking a great car to start with and reworking it to become a classic coupe that fits its driver perfectly. The latest video from Petrolicious highlights Griffin's 356 and all of the personalization he has in the beautiful ride.
Griffin acquired this 356 in 1994, but it came in rough shape. That made it the perfect canvas to transform the coupe into the Porsche of his dreams. On the outside, only things like the hood-mounted fuel filler, louvered decklid and Fuchs wheels give it away as something special, but underneath, it is modernized to be a faster, more robust car. Griffin considers it "a piece of art on wheels."
Hearing the Continental name associated with Griffin's Porsche might be throwing you, since it's normally more associated with Lincoln, but Griffin tells the whole story of what makes it so special on his '55 in the video. Scroll down to get an automotive history lesson and check out this fantastic 356 hot rod.
