1989 Porsche 928 on 2040-cars
Paso Robles, California, United States
Feel free to email: verdellvlleavens@manufans.com . The 928 might have failed to replace the 911, but it is bold and beautiful, breaking the mold as Porsche's first
clean sheet design.
Many savvy second-hand buyers less concerned with such high ideals as they were with the business of driving a
fast, capable, sophisticated car at a fraction of list price snapped them up early on. These second owners enjoyed
their 928s until something expensive broke or needed servicing, leaving the car looking a bit less bargain-like.
Flipped onto third, fourth, and sometimes fifth owners, deferred maintenance, inexpensive (and incorrect) fixes,
and plain old abuse has taken its toll on most used 928s, leaving it very difficult to find a clean, low-mileage,
and unmodified car until very recently.
While the 356 and 911 are consistent good earners, the 928 has flown under the radar of many and now it is
experiencing quite a rise in value. Over the past 3 years, prices have risen considerably according to many car
enthusiasts, with S, S4, GT, and GTS models at the tip of this trend - in fact, these cars have seen closer to a
30% increase one year alone.Zero rust, and the paint is factory original in amazing shape with the leather interior being just as well.
Nothing hacked up about this car, rubber is good and the engine is tight. All 90K mile service has been recently
completed and the car is ready for the road. She enjoys cruising for admiration, but performs better with speed -
just like a racehorse who loves to gallop. Smoke free, two owner car. This Porsche is a dream to own!!

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
This is why we love the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer
Tue, 11 Nov 2014In the world of restomods, Singer Vehicle Designs is inarguably one of our absolute favorites. The company, founded by rocker Rob Dickinson, has made its name as an obsessive constructor of vintage, built-to-order Porsche 911s with modern internals and beautiful accouterments.
Xcar has put together a lengthy interview with Dickinson, covering the source of his fascination with the 911 and his passion for automotive design, before falling into his rock-and-roll days with his band Catherine Wheel. He also covers how he got into the world of modifying Porsches, rather than just restoring them. There's much, much more in the video, though, and we promise, you won't want to miss it.
Take a look.
Production Porsche 918 Spyder images leak out of Chinese patent office
Wed, 26 Dec 2012A few images of what looks to be the production Porsche 918 Spyder are here to say hello, courtesy of a patent office in China. If these provide an accurate look at what the hybrid supercar will look like, there are a few differences between it and the latest examples of the pre-production prototypes our spy shooters have seen.
The jerry-rigged turn signals inside the headlight enclosures and on the front fenders on the prototype are replaced with more polished units inside the headlamps located underneath the main beams. Behind that, the door handles have been swapped from horizontal latches on the door to vertical openings located just behind the door shutline.
We've also seen a Martini-liveried version of the 918 Spyder that has extra carbon elements that don't appear on this car. It was at the Nürburgring with carbon lips on the front fenders and another carbon element that hung from the rear fenders and ran down to the rear diffuser. When we saw the car on our Deep Dive piece, the front lips were gone but that rear piece remained, and we can't tell from the brochure and options sheet that we've seen so far what it comes with. The wheels from the concept and the green brake calipers, minus the polycarbonate covers, should be the standard fitment while the ten-spoke magnesium wheels will be a 29,750-euro (about $39,000 US) option.
