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).  There are "no" oil leaks, which speaks to the excellent condition of this car mechanically, because most 928's do leak some oil.  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 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 responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events

Tue, 13 May 2014

Porsche has found itself in the good graces of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is pretty odd considering it's the only brand we know of that offers leather-lined vents. The activist group is praising the sports car manufacturer's handling of reports that some of its dealerships were set to feature tigers or tiger cubs at the local launch events for the Macan. Apparently, "macan" is the Malay word for tiger, which explains the connection between a highly touted crossover and a jungle cat.
A Tampa, FL dealership already displayed some three-week-old cubs, with PETA saying tigers for display should be at least eight to 12 weeks old. Even then, the group argues that the animals can suffer due to stress, malnourishment, neglect and a lack of veterinary care. The group brings up legal concerns, as well, arguing that if one of the cubs bit a customer, the dealership could be held liable (we're no big cat experts, but it seems unlikely a three-week-old cub could do that much damage).
Porsche's PR department quickly reacted to PETA's claims, with Vice President of Marketing Andre Oosthuizen, telling the group that Porsche is concerned about the "welfare of any animal, large or small, wild or domesticated." Oosthuizen's statements were reported in an official PETA blog.

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.

Porsche 991 vs. 930 Flatnose in 911 Turbo convertible faceoff

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

The Porsche 911 Turbo has a legacy of being a tough car to drive. With a ton of power set right over the rear wheels, its reputation is to lose control as soon as the driver stops concentrating. However, this isn't quite so true anymore. The modern ones are tamed through technology with things like hydraulically controlled engine mounts, not to mention all-wheel drive. In its latest video, Autocar tries to decide whether 25 years of progress really makes the turbo a better vehicle.
It's summer, so what better version to compare than the 911 Turbo Cabriolet? In one corner, Autocar has the latest and greatest 2014 version pumping out 513 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Its challenger is a 1989 911 flatnose convertible sporting 326 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque. It's a truly rare car in the UK with only eight of them remaining on the roads in that region.
Granted, this test isn't so much a battle as it is a comparison. There's no question that the modern 911 would beat the classic in practically every objective category. What the video aims to find out is whether the flatnose is better in subjective measurements like its "feel." Scroll down to watch these two droptop Porsches square off.
