1972 Porsche 914 6 Conversion With 1965 911 Engine on 2040-cars
Orangeburg, South Carolina, United States
|
I’m about through downsizing my collection and have saved the best for last. I bought this red 1972 Porsche 914 from California and, like many cars from the West coast, is rust free. Although its body condition makes it a rarity in itself; that is not what makes this car unique. What adds tremendous value is the engine… a 1965 date coded 911 engine that is in excellent running condition. Like all air cooled Porsches, 914’s are rising in value and this car is a great one to have. With this car you get not only the 914 looks and handling you also get an engine that is worth possibly as much as the car itself. Let me list the attributes of this excellent machine. First of all, this car was won “1st Place People’s Choice Modified 914” at Okteenerfest 2013. The car was driven from SC to TN and back that weekend with no issues and all while achieving close to 30 mpg. I have attached pictures from my drives on the Tail of the Dragon!

Suspension: This car handles exceptionally well! I’ve owned approximately 10 914’s and this one handles better than all of them
Engine: Okay…here is the money shot….the differentiator…the reason this car is unique
The Bad: No heat. Because the car has a Burch exhaust system there is no provision for having heat. Of course, that should be an issue for 90% of the people looking at the car since this car should be used on those days when you can take the top off and ride through twisty roads!! The Previous Owner created a website documenting the work he performed on this car. See the link below: http://talking-dog.com/tim/914/ In summary, this is a 914 in excellent condition that can be driven across the country as it sits…seriously. The engine is a genuine 1965 engine. I was offered a large (IMHO) sum of money for the engine over a year ago. With engine prices continuing to rise the engine value has to have only increased since then. I am also open to an engine swap. I will accept a proven and running 911 engine (2.7, 3.0, etc.) plus cash for this engine. No warranty expressed or implied. Buyer pays shipping (I will work with overseas buyers). Payment via cash, wire, or check with plenty of time to clear before you get the car.

2015 Porsche Macan S
Thu, 31 Jul 2014I'd be willing to bet that 99 percent of all Porsche Macan owners will never take their vehicle on a track or see any more off-roading than a dirt path to a summer cottage, yet I maintain that there is no better venue to explore the absolute outer limits of the automaker's newest small family transport than on a racing circuit and an off-road course. It's testing at each extreme of the vehicle's operating envelope, with both challenges requiring very different capabilities. With that in mind, and looking forward to dirty floor mats and corded tires, I jumped at the opportunity from Porsche to wring out its new Macan S at Willow Springs International Raceway, located in Southern California's high desert.
The range-topping Macan Turbo (base price $72,300 plus $995 destination), with its 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 gets most of the glory these days. But many, including myself, would argue that its slightly less powerful sibling, the Macan S, is actually the pick of the new litter. Despite having 60 fewer horses under the hood and giving up six-tenths of a second in the sprint to 60 miles per hour, it costs a massive $22,400 less - money better spent on equipment that improves the crossover's ride comfort and capability, or perhaps a well-used Boxster for weekends.
Despite a reasonably attractive starting price of $49,900 (plus destination), very few Porsche buyers will leave the showroom with a base model. My Dark Blue Metallic Macan S tester was equipped with a slew of mechanical upgrades, including air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), Sport Chrono Package and 21-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels. A Premium Package and a few other miscellaneous options bloated its price to $69,870. That's a very steep price for the premium compact crossover segment, but it's still less than a base Macan Turbo.
2014 Porsche Panamera arrives with new E-Hybrid, long-wheelbase models
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Porsche will officially unveil the refreshed 2014 Panamera at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month, and there's a whole lot in store for the updated model, far beyond the minimal styling tweaks you see here. Sure, there's a new fascia with more prominent LED lighting (including full LED headlamps) and the rump has been tweaked ever so slightly, but the big news for 2014 concerns what's underneath that rakish skin.
First up, Porsche will now offer a Panamera S E-Hybrid model - a plug-in hybrid that builds on the technology first introduced in the Panamera S Hybrid that we tested in 2011. For this new application, a more powerful electric motor and higher-performance battery have been fitted (official specs have not been released just yet), and Porsche says the battery can be recharged in just two and a half hours when the car is plugged in to a 240-volt outlet, and the charging (as well as other vehicle data) can be monitored via a new Porsche Car Connect app available for Android and iOS devices.
The E-Hybrid will have an all-electric driving range of "greater than 20 miles" and will be able to travel at speeds up to 84 miles per hour solely on electric power.
Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
