Up for auction is this "Exceptionally Rare" 1995 Porsche 928gts. This was the final year of production for the Porsche 928gts. Ferdinand Porsche (owner of the company) reportedly drove one of these cars. The color is "Polar Silver." It has a black leather interior. It also has an electric sunroof. There were only 77 1995 Porsche 928gts cars produced. This car is Production #13 of 77. It is Serial #73. Only 9 of the 77 cars produced came in the color "Polar Silver." Only 6 of those 9 cars came in with the Automatic Transmission. It has 72871 miles. The engine is a 345 HP, 5.4L 32 valve V8. This car is in "amazing" condition and has a lot of extras you won't find on any other Porsche 928gts.
This car comes with Chromed Techart wheels (Germany) & centercaps. The front wheels are 8.5 x 18. The rear wheels are 10.5 x 18. They were both purchased and professionally chromed by "Wheel Enhancement" out of California. The wheels have four (4) Michelin Pilot Sport wheels on them with less than 600 miles on them. The front tires are 225/40 ZR18's. The rears are 295/30 ZR18's. The rear tires are very wide and completely underneath the body with no rub issues on the front or rear. This gives the car a very powerful and menacing appearance. It is a very cool look! I get compliments on this car every time I take it out in public.
The soundsystem includes a Alpine CDA9885 radio/CD player, and it is set up with an IPOD connecter hidden in the center console. All 10 of the factory speakers have been upgraded to MB Quart (German) speakers, along with a MB Quart Subwoofer. It comes with a Soundstream Van Gogh (VGA800.5) Amp that powers the system. This is an 800 Watt 5 Channel Amplifier, that has a very low Total Harmonic Distortion Level of .02%. This is the cleanest and the most crisp sound I have ever heard from a car stereo. The stereo has a complete system of MB Quart Crossovers set up to get the right frequencies to the right speakers. The MB Quart Subwoofer, MB Quart Crossovers, and the Soundstream Amp are all housed in the rear hatchback area in a professional cabinet that matches the black leather in the vehicle. This professional cabinet includes a discrete switch for black light illumination if desired. All of this was professional installed. No corners were cut, because I wanted it perfect. The car has also been equipped with a discrete (hidden) cable for connection of your radar detector to the visor.
Both factory front seats have been replaced with Black Leather Recaro adjustable seats with lateral and thigh support. They were just installed last year, and still look brand new. The car has been driven less than 500 miles since they were installed. They are "much" more comfortable than the original factory seats, and much sportier looking as well. They are fully adjustable. Recaro makes the best leather seats, and that is why I selected them for this car. The entire leather interior of the car is in "beautiful condition."
Mechanically, the car runs exceptionally well. It is very smooth with powerful throttle response. The "Timing Belt" (a critical element of these cars costing about $1000.00 parts + labor) was just replaced in June of last year. It has less than 500 miles on this new timing belt. The car battery was replaced in June of last year. This car has been "very well" taken care of. It has always been garaged, is rarely driven, and has been regularly maintained via service from Jones' Autowerks, Inc. (in San Antonio, TX). I have receipts documenting maintenance. I have owned this car since 2004. This vehicle can be inspected prior to sale at the buyers discretion to verify the condition of the car. The oil was changed less than 500 miles ago (Castrol GTX 20W50). The AC blows cold.
This is the nicest Porsche 928gts that I have ever seen, inside and out. The Porsche 928 "gts" is a very rare car anyway, but the 1995 928gts is the rarest and most desirable of all. It was the final year of production and represented the ultimate refinement of this model. Again, there were only 77 of these cars built, and this one was #13. I am selling this car because I am getting older and need to downsize my fine European car collection. This car is in superb driving condition, and it is ready to go and drive "now." Maintenance is up to date.
Thanks for looking. If you have personal questions, please let me know. I am very proud of this car, and if you are looking for a Porsche 928gts, you won't find one better, as the pictures illustrate. Pictures of the excellent black leather interior on this car will be posted shortly.

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.
1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.
Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach package does 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds
Mon, 18 Nov 2013Porsche marketers are having a field day with the 918 Spyder after some last-minute tuning improved the car's performance. They now say that it's so fast it's already beaten itself. Let us explain: Using a Weissach package-equipped 918 as an example (which reduces the plug-in hybrid supercar's weight through the deletion of some interior items, more generous use of carbon fiber and magnesium wheels), the car's previous official 0-62 miles-per-hour time of 2.8 seconds has been cut to 2.6. Additionally, 0-124 mph takes 7.2 seconds and 0-186 mph is dispatched in 19.9 seconds, times that were reduced by half a second and 2.1 seconds, respectively.
In all-electric mode, a non-Weissach pack 918 does 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds (with the package, 6.1 seconds), down from 6.9 seconds. Efficiency is also improved thanks to the final tuning. The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) rating of a Weissach pack-equipped car equates to 94 miles per gallon, up three mpg compared to before. That's pretty good for a car with 887 horsepower!
Check out the press release below for more details on how Porsche's final tuning measures improved its flagship supercar.
