1999 Porsche Cabriolet Tiptronict: No Reserve High Bid Buys The Car on 2040-cars

Year:1999 Mileage:99963 Color: do not show any signs of the car
Location:

Gainesville, Georgia, United States

Gainesville, Georgia, United States

Being offered for sale is a 1999 Porsche 996 cabriolet. This car is in great condition and the interior and exterior do not show any signs of the car's mileage.  The interior and convertible top are in great condition as well as the body. The car has a clean carfax history.

The car has a vibration in the engine and I do not wish to repair it, and would rather sell it as is. The issue was thought to be the clutch, but after having it removed and inspected, only to find nothing wrong, the vibration was not remedied. The reason for the vibration is unknown, though it is only apparent at higher engine RPMs above 4,500 RPM and not at all at idle or at lower speeds. This would be a great car for someone to learn on, or just buy a used engine and throw into the car.  I'm trying to be honest and let everyone know about the issue.  It could be an easy fix but I don't have the time or resources to address it.  Again, the car runs/drives just fine, but there is a slight vibration when above 4500 RPM.  I drove the car today to the car wash and noticed the battery was not taking a charge. The voltage gauge indicates the alternator is working, thus I suspect the battery to be bad.  The issues with the car very well might be a bad (shorted) battery.  I was told this by a  "shade tree" mechanic.  I'm tired of dealing with it.  My loss can be your gain.

Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role - she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006.
"Maria Sharapova is an exceptional athlete. She combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power. These are precisely the qualities that are embroiled in our sports cars," explained Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, during the announcement. "Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation," he added.
Some consider Porsche's choice of a female tennis player as its ambassador interesting, if not surprising. The automaker has traditionally marketed its vehicles with a masculine edge - Sharapova and the sport of tennis position the brand in a different light - likely an intentional decision. Do you think Porsche's choice was a good one? If not, who would you choose as its global ambassador?

Porsche rolls out new 919 Hybrid at racing gala

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

That Porsche is returning to Le Mans next year with a top-tier LMP1 entry is no news - we've known that for some time. We've even seen pictures of the car in question undergoing testing at various racetracks across Europe, been told who'll be driving it and given some basic parameters of what will make it go. We just haven't known what to call it, but now we do.
In detailing its full endurance racing program for next year at its Night of Champions in Weissach, Porsche has revealed that its new LMP1 racecar will be called the 919 Hybrid. So, something like the 918 Spyder, only one faster. With a four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors, the 919 Hybrid will be taking on the top class at Le Mans next year, with a compelling roster of drivers on the docket: along with Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani, Porsche has assigned its works driver Marc Lieb and F1 test driver Brendon Hartley to the effort. But that's not all Porsche has in store.
The factory is also supporting teams that will campaign the 911 RSR in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as the United SportsCar Championship here in the US, taking Porsche off the pit wall and right in the race seat for next year as part of a comprehensive new racing program, details of which you can read in the press release below.

Porsche 911 GT2 caught testing, is super bad

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Look what spy photographers have spotted sprinting around the Nürburgring. Our shooters nabbed a few photos of the all-new Porsche 911 GT2 in its native habitat without any of the bulky camouflage or cladding we're used to seeing. The result is our first truly clear view at the upcoming successor to the GT2 throne. From the looks of it, the new model will boast wider fender arches front and rear, and hefty air intakes set into the machine's hips should help feed a beastly 3.8-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Early guesses put the engine output somewhere around 560 horsepower.
Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the engine should propel this rear-engined heathen to 62 miles per hour in under three seconds. Top speed? Try somewhere around 200 mph. If that's true, the next-generation 911 GT2 will be the fastest 911 in Porsche history.
