2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 991 on 2040-cars
Middleton, Wisconsin, United States
I'm selling my awesome 2013 Porsche 911 (type 991). I purchased it new from my local Porsche center. This is my 4th 911, and it has probably been my favorite of the four. The only reason for the sale is I am planning on purchasing a vintage 911 that I have had my eye on, and I need the garage space. It has never been tracked, I have driven it daily, It comes with two set of tires. The original Pirelli PZero's (with almost all of there life left) and a winter set of Pirelli Scottozero's (with most of there life left).
This is a rare beast given it is a 7speed manual. Perfect for those like myself who prefer to be connected with the car when driving. It is the standard black (Not the metallic Basalt Black), with black leather sport seats that have gray hard shell backs (partially power/manual), Power sunroof, 20" Carrera S wheels in Matte titanium finish (They Look Awesome!), Sport Chrono package (can you say Rev Matching with the seven speed manual:0), Navigation, Bluetooth Streaming Audio, Heated Seats, I had the windows tinted, but not obnoxiously dark. It also has two sets of mats (all seasons, and carpeted). These days its very difficult to buy the new 911 (991) for south of $100,000, this one however is going to be available in the $80's, of course unless there is a flurry of activity:). If you have any questions at all please contact me directly at (608) 354-6787. My Name is Alex. Before bidding, or committing. ONLY serious buyers please, NO Wanna Bees, NO Solicitors. I do have it for sale locally, and reserve the right to end the auction early, if this occurs. Spring Has Sprung! Here is your opportunity to enjoy your whole driving season! |

UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals
Sun, 27 Apr 2014Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
Are you the next Porsche 911 GT3 RS or GT2?
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Porsche typically keeps to a suitably fast schedule when it comes to rolling out increasingly hard-core performance versions of the 911. After the 997 Carrera debuted in 2004, the GT3 version followed in 2006, and by the end of the 2007, Porsche had rolled out both the GT3 RS and GT2 versions. Then the facelifted 997.5 came out in 2008 and it was back to the start: the GT3 came in 2009, the GT3 RS and GT2 RS in 2010, and the GT3 RS 4.0 in 2011. But things have slowed down some with the latest 991 generation.
The new Carrera came in 2011 and the GT3 followed in 2012. By recent history's example, we should have at least two more hardcore models by now, but we don't. Maybe the engineers in Zuffenhausen have had their hands full fixing the spontaneous-combustion issues with the existing GT3, or maybe their attentions have been focused elsewhere altogether. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it seems like they're back on the job.
Now we don't know if this prototype foreshadows a new GT3 RS or a GT2, but it sure looks more hard-core than the existing GT3 that many purists have derided as too soft, what with its automatic transmission and four-wheel steering.
