Up for auction is a very nice 1987 Porsche 944. I recently purchased this car from an individual who aspired to bring this car up to a pristine level and show it. Declining health convinced him that it would likely never happen. This car is nice but not a 10. I have driven it around lately and have had no issues with it. The car runs great, has super cold air, and handles like a dream. I do not know everything about this car other than what the gentleman told me during the purchase. The only issues I have personally noticed are: I can't get the clock or the cigarette lighter to work. May be a fuse. The seats have covers over them because they are splitting around the seams. This has to be common for this car because of the stiff leather, and it is 26 years old. I do not see any leaks under the car but there is a little oil around the motor but nothing major. I have not cleaned it but it doesn't lose any oil and looks clean. The weatherstripping around the car, namely the rear hatch, could be replaced. I did not notice any water leaks in the cabin during rain. This car has been repainted before and although it doesn't look all that bad, I would have personally not been pleased if I paid for it. The paint looks ok but the detail around some areas could have been masked (taped) a little better so there is less evidence it had been repainted. The owner said that the vehicle had never been in a serious collision and the repainted was from minor stuff and fading. There are a few small rust spots but nothing Significant. The largest example is right near the driver window and it is less than the size of a dime. The tires look ok and the radio works. This is a nice car for someone who wants a base to begin sprucing up, a nice daily driver, or for someone who has always wanted to own a Porsche. Believe me, it never gets old having people say "you drive a Porsche?" Cheesy, but true. I have the maintenance book for this car that has all service records dating back over the last 10 years. This car is being sold as is and has a lot of potential so good luck!

2014 Porsche Panamera 4S Executive
Fri, 09 Aug 2013If the idea of a Porsche sedan (or, long hatchback) is still off-putting to you, then you might want to look away now. For 2014, the polarizing Panamera has received a midcycle refresh bringing slightly different styling, as well as adding two new models to the lineup, the S E-Hybrid and the stretched-wheelbase Executive. Having focused most of my recent trip to Germany on a First Drive of the intriguing plug-in Panamera, I also got to spend some time with the roomier Executive model.
Offered in both 4S and Turbo guise, the Panamera Executive has been stretched by almost six inches for the sole purpose of improving rear passenger space. Although it's hard to imagine anyone would willingly buy a Porsche and opt to sit in the back seat, I'd have to say that if I'm going to be chauffeured around in a car, why not make it a Porsche? For the most part, though, I'm guessing that many Panamera Executive sedans will be owned by people who want to one-up their buddy driving a stretched BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

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.
Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties
Wed, 14 May 2014These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.
