2005 Boxster S Rare Car on 2040-cars
|
Here is a very RARE Porsche Boxster S 987 with only 23k miles. Go ahead and look around on Ebay, or any web site, to find a 987 that has the Porsche factory options as you will find on this car. Directly from Porsche, the car comes with some GREAT options, starting with my favourite, the PCCB Ceramic Brakes, an $7,500.00 option. There's more - the leather package that really dresses up the interior; Sport Chrono; PASM Porsche Active Supension Management; PSM Porsche Stability Management; Red Seatbelts; and Carrera 19 inch black wheels. These options really make this car one Rare Porsche. You may see a few of these options on a Porsche, but to have all of these goodies on one car, it's priceless. Now the perfectly balanced mid engine platform of the 987, combined with a drop top convertible, make for a truly liberating Porsche diving experience. The 987's were delivered slightly under powered from the factory, as not to rain on the Carrera 911’s parade, so I added the IPD Boxster intake plenum as this delivers increased performance that puts the Boxster S in the ring with the famed 911 Carrera. The IPD Boxster S "Competition" Plenum was designed to meet the needs of the most demanding Boxster S enthusiasts. The "Competition" Plenum is even larger and utilizes the 997 GT3 82mm throttle body allowing it to deliver even greater air flow and substantial increases in performance. Now with all of this air coming in, you need to get it flowing through each chamber and out the tailpipes. So to do this, I have added nothing other than Fabspeed exhaust. So if you are looking for a great car that has been enhanced with everything a 911 owner does not want you to have, this is your car,, whether it be for driving those mountain roads or for any car show. Evolution MotorSports continues to
provide a performance package that produces 350
horsepower versus the factory 295 horsepower calculated with a conservative 11%
drivetrain loss. This collaboration among the top Porsche tuners has brought
this project to fruition and continues to offer this bulletproof package to the
world! On Jan-20-14 at 07:38:29 PST, seller added the following information:
Many
Have requested a breakdown of the Performance options and cost, so here you go,
keep in mind there are many Porsche options that are not listed here, just some
you will not find on many Boxster S 987. Here are over $17,000.00 in options !! That
make this car very unique and RARE. Those who really know the Porsche also know of the (IMS) Intermediate Shaft failure that can be caused due to an improper design from Porsche’s engineering team. (if not google this) I have taken this 987 to Porsche of New Orleans to confirm this 987 does have the Porsche upgraded IMS bearing. Now the only way you can actually confirm this is to pull the transmission and get a visual on the IMS bearing itself, an expense many are not willing to pay for. But if the smaller bearing is installed it could be a complete engine failure when it does go out. Also not to over look anything while this procedure was taken place, I had them replace the (RMS) rear main seal which in a Porsche is known to leak or go out after time. To simply put it I have made sure every detail of this car has the BEST of everything and upgraded and tuned by certified Porsche service engineers.
Brakes PCCB $7,500.00 The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is a fine example. This brake system has already had to cope with the harshest requirements of motor racing and is fitted in cars that compete in demanding events such as the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. The cross-drilled PCCB ceramic brake discs for the Boxster S have a diameter of 350 mm front and rear for even more formidable braking performance. Another key advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50% lighter than standard discs of similar design and size. As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, this represents a major reduction in unsprung and rotating masses. The consequence of this is better road holding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and improved handling
Sport
Chrono $1,850.00 When selected, Sport mode is activated to provide greater response and enhanced driving pleasure. Throttle response becomes even more direct, the rev-limiter is adjusted to a harder setting and engine dynamics are tuned for performance driving. The optional Sport Chrono Package makes your driving experience priceless thanks to an even sportier tuning of throttle response and handling characteristics.
Porsche
Active Suspension Management PASM $1,800.00 A variable steering ratio preserves the precise and direct steering response associated with the typical Porsche steering feel. This intelligent system filters out unwanted shocks from the road and actively assists steering inputs under braking on road surfaces with varying grip. Takes the driving experience to a sportier level that the true Porsche enthusiast will really enjoy.
Porsche Stability Management PSM -
Standard Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is an electronic control system that uses a range of functions – including anti-lock braking (ABS) – to help stabilise the vehicle (and trailer, if fitted) in hazardous road scenarios. Throughout each journey, sensors monitor the direction, speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration of the car. Using this information, it is possible to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given moment. If the car begins to oversteer or understeer, PSM applies selective braking on individual wheels to restore stability. If necessary, PSM can also intervene in the engine management system to temporarily modify the amount of drive transmitted to the wheels.
Leather
package $1,500.00 You may have thought the interior of your Boxster couldn’t be any more stylish, but the optional leather package enhances its overall appeal by adding a leather finish to the instrument cowl, center console storage compartment lid, seat centers, side bolsters and headrests, the door armrests and door pulls. With the leather package, all of these feature a silver-colored trim strip, which accentuates the dynamic and sweeping design of the interior.
RS350 Performance Package $4,122.00 plus installation $800.00 The Boxster S RS350 utilizing the Intelligent Tuning of EVOMSit with these performance upgrades delievers more usable power at the wheels and a closer connection between the car and the driver. To achieve maximum power the RS350 package includes full Stage 1 performance upgrades, EVOMS V-Flow Intake, a Competition Intake Plenum with a true 82mm 997 GT3 Throttle Body Conversion Kit from IPD, and an exhaust from Fabspeed.
H&R Suspension $350.00 plus installation/alignment $700.00 H&R Sport Springs are designed and engineered for each particular application to lower the vehicle's center of gravity and reduce body roll. They offer the correct spring rate for low, aggressive looks, high performance handling and no ride harshness! Original Porsche springs are available if you wish to have these installed on the car.

Porsche, Hyundai and GM impress in J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, Fiat and Jeep don't
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Consumers continue to struggle with the advanced user interfaces and technologies being fitted to new cars, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.
2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.
