This auction is for one 1990 Porsche
944 S2 Cabriolet. In 1990 Porsche only produced 3938 of these Cabriolet’s for
the year. This car is just one of 1824 produced for the US market. With
production numbers this low, this car is destined to be a collector’s item in
the very near future. The 944 Cabriolet body was built for Porsche by ASC,
American Sunroof Company in Weinberg Germany, a first for the 944 line. This 944 with its low 82K original
miles has a long list of recent upgrades and mechanical fixes including, a full
tune up, new shocks, brakes and rotors, alternator, starter, exhaust, K&N
filter and timing belt check. New door panels are included with the sale. The convertible top is brand new. The
top is now manually operated rather than electrically. This is pretty common for these cars because
of the size of the roof, it literally can be open and closed in seconds with
just your fingertips. The roof could be made to work electrically again with
new cables. The car runs drives and shifts
without any problems and drives like a proper 944. There is evidence of a prior
accident under the hood on the diver’s side frame rail. Although minor, this is what is causing
the front bumper to be out of alignment. It has no affect on the drivability of
the car. Apparently this is why the car now has a salvaged title. Rhode Island
doesn’t issue titles to vehicles over 10 years old so I was not aware of this
issue. They say “a picture tells a thousand words”, so follow the link below to see over 60 photos and a few videos of this 944. This Porsche 944 will be sold with a
bill of sale. Rhode Island doesn’t issue titles to vehicles over 10 years old,
so check your local laws before bidding. Bidders with zero or negative feedback
must email before bidding. The car can be test driven to serious
local bidders, just email for an appointment. Any questions, just email me.
Thanks. A $500 deposit must be made within 24
hours of auctions end. Remainder to be paid within 7 days. Will assist with any
shipper the buyer chooses. All shipping fees will also be paid by the buyer. |

Ferrari return to Le Mans looking more likely?
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Statements made by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo may indicate that the Italian brand could return to a form of racing it's been absent from for 40 years - prototype racing. That's right, LMP1 could see a factory Ferrari team for the first time since 1973, if a report from ESPN F1 is to be believed.
"We have won with the 458 GTE, but I also quite like the idea of racing at Le Mans in the highest category: who knows, maybe one day we can return and win, say thanks and come home," Montezemolo said. "Maybe we should give it some consideration..."
These seemingly idle, off-hand comments might not hold much water, were rumors about Ferrari's return to prototype racing not swirling as recently as August. There's also the fact that the upcoming, 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 being used for Formula One complies with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's own LMP1 regulations, according to ESPN. Finally, Ferrari returning to Le Mans might also explain this video of a camouflaged Ferrari LaFerrari testing a new turbocharged engine, which we showed you a few weeks back. There's a fair chance that what we're actually seeing in that video are the early stages of a new Ferrari prototype testing.
Porsche Macan sales may push brand past 200K unit goal early
Tue, 13 Aug 2013In late 2010, Volkswagen announced that it would spend the equivalent of $71 billion through 2015 to beef up its product lineup, determined to overtake Toyota in overall sales and profitability by 2018. Each of VW's many brands, in turn, would play its part contributing to a goal of 10 million sales per year. VW-owned Porsche was expected to sell 200,000 vehicles per year by 2018, but with the imminent arrival of the Macan small sport utility vehicle in 2014, the automaker is poised to meet that goal years ahead of schedule, Automotive News reports.
Porsche sold 143,096 cars in 2012, and IHS Automotive predicts Porsche will sell 63,000 Macans in 2014, according to Automotive News, which would make it the brand's best-selling vehicle. Do the math and you can see how Porsche could easily beat original expectations ahead of schedule. But Porsche's sales and marketing boss Bernhard Maier says not so fast: "We will not offer [63,000 Macans] in 2014 as we will still be ramping up production and introducing models top down," he told Automotive News Europe. Whether Porsche surpasses the 200,000 mark early or not, he said, the company will not set a new sales target and will remain committed to its business model.
The Macan shares its architecture with the Audi Q5, but Porsche will be able to charge more for its SUV. Tim Urquhart, a senior analyst at IHS Autmotive, told Automotive News that Porsche can charge 10 to 20 percent more, for what is basically the same SUV, than other VW Group brands. How's that for brand value?
Leno steals Porsche 918 from The Quail for latest Garage episode
Sat, 31 Aug 2013Just because he's a famous celebrity doesn't mean Jay Leno got to take it easy at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance earlier this month. Having already spent some time with the gorgeous Cadillac Elmiraj Concept and Ed Welburn for a recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage, the late night talk show host also got to put a few miles on a prototype version of the Porsche 918 Spyder.
Like a usual episode of JLG, Leno first goes over the details of the car with Frank Walliser, head of the 918 Spyder's development, before taking it out for spin. Check out the full episode, which is posted below, to hear what Walliser has to say about the car. More importantly, though, crank up your computer's volume and let the car's high-revving engine and amazing exhaust note do plenty of talking for itself.
