Porsche 911 Turbo 2001, Arctic Silver/ Black 996. One Owner, 15k Miles. 6 Speed. on 2040-cars
Longwood, Florida, United States
|
As an owner of 911's and a PCA member, for 35 years, I am selling the car I planned to keep forever. I waited for 2 years and bought one of the earliest 996 911 turbo's. Some say this is the best as Porsche toleranced the engine for low drag losses. The car was purchased from Porsche of Orlando and has been maturely driven. Check the condition of the original front tires and brake disks on the photos. All the original promotional items, books, keys, sticker, and receipts are included. This is great opportunity to acquire a superb unadulterated example of the earliest version of this landmark car at the lowest point in its depreciation.
Condition The car has always been garaged in an air conditioned environment and kept in Florida, covered from UV. There has been no accidents, damage or repair work. The rims are original with no scrapes or curb rash. The paint work is like new. There may be one or two very very small stone chips on close examination, but there are no scratches or dents. There is a patch of leather in the left side dash top near the windshield that shows signs of adhesion failure. I have tried to highlight it in the photos. The spare tire and kit has never been used. The rear seats may have been used twice. I have never had a puncture or breakdown. Never smoked in. Leather treated with 2 stage Leatherique. Service and replacement items. Porsche of Orlando has done the servicing since new. At 13,939 miles, they replaced the clutch booster accumulator and did a second brake flush. There was a leak from one of the wing raising hydraulic pistons and I replaced the entire hydraulics including pump just recently at ~15,000 miles. A couple of spots on the interior plastic were sticky and I cleaned them with oven cleaner to remove the stickiness. This is a common issue on European cars like Ferrari's etc. This car has been super reliable and nothing else has failed. At approximately 14,500 miles, the rear tires were replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 N3. Extras Included I bought a black optional bra to protect the front end and used it twice. At 10,161 miles a Speed Technologies stainless exhaust was installed by the Dealer as I thought the exhaust note was a little too quiet for such a fast car! The original system is available for the buyer and can easily be refitted to maintain complete stock configuration. No tuning or ECM modifications have been done. The car comes fully equipped as standard with PSM, e-gas. ABD, Bi-Xenon vertically steerable headlights, electronic sliding roof with tilt (used twice!), rear wiper, headlight washers, memory seats, 10 speakers. |

Le Mans-winning Porsche 935 K3 'seized' by DEA agents
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Porsche has won Le Mans more than any other marque, but only one of those overall race winners was actually based on a 911. That was the 1979 Porsche 935 K3, chassis number 009 00015 that was entered by brothers Don and Bill Whittington. It went on to win at the Nürburgring and Watkins Glen, and scored podium finishes at Sebring and Brands Hatch as well. In short, it's a historically significant and hugely valuable piece of motorsport history. And it was just seized by the DEA. Sorta.
After the Whittington brothers ran afoul of a handful of lawsuits and were implicated in smuggling narcotics, the car changed hands a few times before ending up in the noted collection of one Bruce Meyers. He had it at Laguna Seca earlier this month when a black Suburban, Dodge Charger and transporter truck pulled up with government plates, asked to speak with Meyer, presented him with a court order, loaded the car onto the truck and drove off.
Though familiar with the legal disputes surrounding the ownership of the car and the misdeeds of its famous original owners, Meyer was left understandably distraught over the events that had just unfolded in front of him to separate him from his pride and joy. (Or one of them, anyway; Bruce has got an eminently desirable collection of classic cars.) But here's the kicker: those DEA agents weren't actual DEA agents. Fortunately they weren't thieves, either. The actual story could have been the plot right out of Ocean's 14 if they ever made one and it focused on classic cars. (Is anyone in Hollywood listening?)
All Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.
Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera
Sat, 22 Mar 2014When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
