This is the one you have been waiting for. As good as it gets in Delphi green (L99A), this original 73 2.0L (motor# GA002304) numbers, color and date stamps matching 914 with original Fuel Injection has always been fully maintained and driven. The last long term owner was a pilot who used it mainly for a commute from Sacramento to the Bay area (SFO) twice a month. Actual mileage in unverifiable but has been maintained and serviced regularly at IPB Autosport (one of Sacrmento's premier independent shops). Newer brakes, calipers, Raby's heads (aircooledtechnology.com), Bridgstone Potenzas, valve adjustment / tune up service, etc. Never a restored car, just lived and easy life. 1 older repaint in original color (less than perfect but very presentable 10 footer still today). Very solid, dry car with only 1 minor rust area in trunk floor too minor to repair (pictured in link, circled in Red). No other issues including hell holes, rockers and front trunk (and all areas are pictured in link). Everything works on this car, as prior owner depended on it for actual transpiration: lights, brights, signals, heater, defrost, fresh air blower fan, wipers, windshield washers (updated with electric pump), fog lights (converted to yellow driving lights, super bright), all gauges, dome light, door buzzers, parking brake, flashers, radio/cd player w/remote & ipod hookup wired into center storage box, etc. Great gaps throughout with no major signs of accidents or crinkled up aprons. Excellent bumpers and above average rubber and gaskets. Very little wind noise with windows rolled up and top on. Above average original interior with a few dash cracks and some thin areas in original carpets. Runs fantastic and starts up on the first try, every time (love a good working FI system). Trans and clutch are perfect. Front and rear sway bars with Konis keep it firmly planted. No freeway wander and very confident at high speeds as well as agile and swift through the twisties. This car is every bit as fun to drive as any 911 and has the integrity and soundness of a much new car. Original owners manual, maintenance record & emissions control equipment booklets (all 3 dealer stamped), tools, original key (still locks everything, both doors, trunks, glovebox, ignition)and valet key, jack & spare are all included. Not a perfect restored example, but a wonderful driver / survivor that is too nice to restore and in many ways better with the soul that remains in it's patina. Don't fool yourself, complete, original, in tact, numbers matching, running, driving, no stories/excuses examples are nearly impossible to find these days (even in sunny dry CA where I live, and where the majority of these cars were sold). Sure to appreciate as one of the icon cars of the 914 run.

2014 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid is one mean green machine
Sat, 20 Apr 2013The entire Porsche Panamera lineup gets a refresh for the 2014 model year, and new additions to the range include two long-wheelbase models and this E-Hybrid fuel-sipper that makes its debut here at the Shanghai Motor Show. And, well, we say "fuel-sipper lightly."
Porsche has packed its hybrid Panamera with 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque, and that certainly makes for one quick sedan-hatchback-thing. Hitting 60 miles per hour will reportedly take just 5.2 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 167 mph. And while Porsche hasn't revealed specific powertrain details, the company says that the S E-Hybrid "improves upon the concept offered by the previous Panamera S Hybrid with a more powerful electric motor," which leads us to believe that the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine at the heart of it all still remains intact.
Fuel economy numbers (or estimates) have not been released as of this writing, but we expect to have that information closer to the car's on-sale date later this year. As for the new battery system, Porsche says that when plugged into a 240-volt charging station, it can be fully charged in just two and a half hours. When topped off, the Panamera S E-Hybrid should have an electric driving range of around 20 miles at speeds up to 84 mph, though, obviously, not at the same time.
Despite premium carmakers going downmarket, luxury auto sales stick at 10-11%
Thu, 16 Jan 2014According to research conducted by global information company IHS Automotive, the leporine birthing of new models by luxury manufacturers over the past six years hasn't increased their market share in the US. Even as car sales reached 15.6 million units, IHS says what's happened instead is that luxury buyers are merely moving from one brand to another, moving from larger luxury vehicles into hot segments like compact luxury crossovers or leaving the market at the same rate as other buyers enter.
Whether broken out by makes or by segment, market share has rollercoastered inside a narrow band from 10.5 to 11.5 percent since "at least" 2008. Closer investigation reveals the shifting boundaries in the aspirational pond, with brands like Mercedes-Benz and Audi gaining territory as Lexus and Lincoln lost it, and Saab and Hummer were buried, dead, under it. One neat note is that Tesla has gone from a share of zip to .12 percent.
The subcompact and compact crossover segments show growth, with those little high-riders jumping from .3 percent to 1.16 percent of overall industry sales. Their rise, though, is concomitant with the decline of four other segments: compact and midsize cars and fullsize cars and SUVs. We think the next few years that will tell if the small-car expansion can overcome the large-car retraction, with a phalanx of smaller offerings like the CLA only recently hitting the market and others like the GLA, Macan and Q1 doing so in the near future.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
