1987 Porsche 930 on 2040-cars
Boulder, Montana, United States
More details at: clare.rohe@mail-on.us .
Up for sale is a beautiful 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo (a.k.a. 930 Turbo).
The interior is stock and well-kept, with little wear-and-tear for its age. The Guards' Red exterior paint
is in excellent condition with only minor flaws from ordinary road use. The car has been garage-kept and tended in
a heated garage. It comes with OEM Fuchs wheels in the original black with machined rims.
The engine has been completely restored by Rothsport, Inc., including a full tear-down and rebuild. Approximate
engine output is 325 horsepower. The stock 4-speed Porsche gearbox was retained. The car's suspension was
completely rebuilt and replaced for competition use, including a 1-inch drop and high-performance shock absorbers
and springs. The exhaust has been replaced by a custom titanium dual-outlet system by B&B Exhaust.
The 930 Turbo was a tour-de-force when it was released, and the Turbo name has consistently been applied only to
the highest-performing variants of the 911 ever since. While later models eventually softened and became more akin
to grand tourers, the original 930 was a knife-edged competition machine -- lightweight, powerful, and terrifyingly
fast. Armed with engine, suspension, and braking technology from Porsche's most competitive and world-beating
prototype race cars, the 930 set the standard for sports cars around the world.
The 911 of the late 1980s represents a sort of purity of purpose for the sporting car enthusiast, a perfect balance
of raw prowess and refinement, and as such is extremely desirable. This 911 Turbo is the ultimate example of the
breed, an incredible specimen of a car that is sure to only become more valuable as they become more rare over
time.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
2013 Porsche 911 RSR makes official debut
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Porsche is ready to go racing in 2013, showing off a new 911 RSR today that is scheduled to compete in several endurance events this year. Based on the current 991 911, the new RSR will compete in the 2013 season of the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It will not, however, make an appearance in a North American racing series this year.
The 2013 version of the racecar has increased in wheelbase by some four inches, features a new wishbone front suspension in place of the last-generation's McPherson strut setup and boasts a new, lightweight six-speed racing gearbox. The engine, meanwhile, is an "optimized" version of last year's car, a 460-horsepower 4.0-liter boxer six-cylinder. Extensive use of carbon fiber and polycarbonate windows help the RSR shed weight, and Porsche has also balanced the weight more evenly with a lower center of gravity.
Porsche has thoughtfully dedicated some space to celebrate the 911's 50th Anniversary, with the number 50 clearly visible in the top-down view of the RSR, as well as along the doors. Scroll down to read the full Porsche press release, below.
Porsche Cayman GTS in track battle with 996 GT3
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Here's your tough question of the day: Would you rather drive a new Porsche Cayman GTS or a slightly older, 996-era Porsche 911 GT3? Certainly, both cars have their plusses. The Cayman is the more modern proposition, sure, but the GT3 is, well, a GT3. So yes, it's a tough decision.
If you're one of the lucky souls that have to make that choice, then this video from Evo should prove pretty helpful. It's a track battle, starring Jethro Bovingdon with a new GTS and an old GT3.
Calling the GTS "fantastically agile" and "fast, but it's also hilariously good fun," Bovingdon bangs home a solid lap time of 1:05.2 before switching to the GT3. It's remarkable to see just how dated the 996-generation 911 looks after viewing the newer Porsche, and from where we sit, it's further proof that the old car's headlights are something that's best forgotten. Styling qualms aside, though, can the GT3 keep up with its racy younger cousin?
