2008 Porsche Boxster Base Convertible 2-door 2.7l on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
|
2008 Porsche base edition. In perfect running condition. All
maintenance work UTD. I am the second owner. I purchased the car with
about 5,000 miles on it in Beverly Hills CA. Prior owner changed her
mind and traded it in for a Bentley. Fender bender requiring some cosmetic repair. No major mechanical
issues. I had a body shop clean up any chips and scratches from
routine driving. If there are any, they are tiny. The outside looks
and feels brand new.
The removable hard top ($3000 value) as you can see from the pictures is a fabulous addition. Not only does it give the car a completely different feel and look, but it is great for winter or rainy seasons and is incredibly light and easy to put on and take off (takes two people less than 30 seconds). Rag top and interior are chocolate brown. The interior is leather and is in great shape. There are some shallow scuffs on the center console on the passenger's side (shown in the pictures). But the interior is in excellent condition other than that. Always housed in a garage. Tires still have lots of life in them. I replaced them all at about 30,000 miles. The brakes and pads also have lots of life left on them. I had them serviced and replaced within the last year or so. The braking system and transmission of this car are simply amazing. The 2.7 L engine is more than enough to pass uphill on mountain roads with ease. It is a fun car to drive. Seat warmers. AM FM CD. No upgrade on the sound system. Thing is...if you are driving a Porsche, you want to hear that magnificent engine anyway. Tiptronic transmission. |

Porsche revisits its remarkable SC East African Safari rally car
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Porsche and motorsports just seem to go hand-in-hand. The brand has defined itself by its ability to compete on the track with the concept that racing bred better road cars. While we are used to seeing 911s speeding along circuits around the world, the rear-engine icon's success in rallying is somewhat less well known. The Porsche Museum aims to fix that by highlighting a 911 SC that competed in the 1978 East African Safari Rally.
The 911 rally car definitely projects a '70s vibe. You wouldn't see too many racecars with a pink brush bar sliding through the stages these days, but it looks amazing. Its bank of spotlights and two, giant, hood-mounted horns definitely give away the car's purpose. Best of all, that fantastic Martini livery defines the looks of Porsche racers from this era.
The 911 SC performed well in the East African Safari Rally, but some suspension damage meant that this particular one never raced again. It's been a part of the Porsche Museum ever since. Scroll down to learn a little more about one part of the brand's off-road legacy.
Noted Porsche collector Magnus Walker learns what a TED Talk is firsthand
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Porsche collector Magnus Walker has the name and looks of a Viking, but once he starts talking about his life story and what drives him, he's an absolutely fascinating guy. Walker recently gave a Ted Talk at a Tedx conference at UCLA and claimed he didn't really understand the idea behind the speeches. You would never know it, though. Walker is as gifted a speaker as he is a talented restorer of some seriously cool Porsches.
Walker's talk is titled "Go with Your Gut Feeling," and it amounts to his autobiography. He recounts his birth in England, dropping out of school at 15 and moving to the US at 19. Once in Los Angeles, he started selling second-hand clothes and grew it into a fashion business.
Of course, what makes him interesting to us is his passion for Porsches. He fell in love with them when he saw a white 911 as a child at the Earl's Court Motor Show in England, but Walker waited until the '90s to buy his first one. From there he started racing and eventually restoring them. Since the documentary Urban Outlaw about him was released, Magnus has become famous for the love of the brand.
Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach package does 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds
Mon, 18 Nov 2013Porsche marketers are having a field day with the 918 Spyder after some last-minute tuning improved the car's performance. They now say that it's so fast it's already beaten itself. Let us explain: Using a Weissach package-equipped 918 as an example (which reduces the plug-in hybrid supercar's weight through the deletion of some interior items, more generous use of carbon fiber and magnesium wheels), the car's previous official 0-62 miles-per-hour time of 2.8 seconds has been cut to 2.6. Additionally, 0-124 mph takes 7.2 seconds and 0-186 mph is dispatched in 19.9 seconds, times that were reduced by half a second and 2.1 seconds, respectively.
In all-electric mode, a non-Weissach pack 918 does 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds (with the package, 6.1 seconds), down from 6.9 seconds. Efficiency is also improved thanks to the final tuning. The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) rating of a Weissach pack-equipped car equates to 94 miles per gallon, up three mpg compared to before. That's pretty good for a car with 887 horsepower!
Check out the press release below for more details on how Porsche's final tuning measures improved its flagship supercar.
