This is a fixed price eBay Motors auction and open to offers here on eBay prior to it being offered at one of the major automobile auctions across the country. Please consider the auction houses buyer and sellers premiums you can expect to pay (20%?) so this pre offering should prove a better use of your cash.

For sure every GT was a special build but this one was given even more personal attention during the initial design and hand build process in the Leipzig facility so this car does come at a premium. This car really has not changed ownership and is now owned by one of the biggest Ferrari collectors who has decided to sell it only because it is not a core marque car for his collection.

This GT is in excellent condition and has been well cared for as part of a collection not as a driver. Clutch inspection, recall, and mandatory service have been preformed at factory certified Porsche Carrera GT service centre. Your inspection is welcomed and if you wish a factory certified Porsche Carrera GT centre inspection we can provide you with a PPI. Not all Porsche dealers are Carrera GT Certified.

Books and Two keys will be provided to you as well as past ownership documentation.   

Without question the Super Cars conceived out of Zuffenhausen, GT1, Carrera GT, and now the 918 are all limited production, significant, and are beyond the driving capabilities of most mortals. The GT1 and Carrera GT are both iconic investment quality cars and buying one is a great achievement but owning one of only a few true collector builds with correct miles and history should bode well in the years to come.

Just 604 Carrera GT cars were imported by PCNA to the US market with PAG worldwide production ending up at 1270 units. It is doubtful we will see cars such as the McLaren F1 or Carrera GT ever built again, they are raw unforgiving street legal racing machinery so nasty they are perfect. Cars have changed right before our eyes due to technologies and innovations and looking not too far back we can see the gems that changed road performance cars forever. Buy the correct ones now.

There is plenty of online information and books on the subject but just incase you are not aware of what this car is all about but here is a short background on the GT from MSN noting the Carrera GT as one of the best investment cars:

Racing is in Porsche's DNA, but when an opportunity arises, the wizards in Zuffenhausen are quick to seize it. Left with the chassis for an unused open-cockpit Le Mans racer and a V10 engine first developed with Formula One in mind Porsche combined the two in a concept that was a hit at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show. This led to the production of the Carrera GT, a mid engine supercar with a carbon-fiber chassis and body that was powered by a 5.7-liter version of this V10 engine, coupled to a 6-speed manual gearbox through a ceramic composite clutch — the first of its kind. With 612 horsepower on tap at 8000 rpm, the GT sprinted to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, on to a top speed of 205 mph, with ceramic brakes to haul it back down.

Any questions on the car, shipping, or payment please ask away and I will get back to you.

Porsche 918 Spyder configurator goes live

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

That didn't take long. The debut model of the new Porsche 918 Spyder is still thronged by onlookers at the Frankfurt Motor Show, while the German sports car maker is hard at work putting the first version of the supercar's configuration page online. Considering Porsche configurators are some of our favorite time-wasters of the genre, we expect car-guy productivity to drop by a few percentage points over the rest of the day.
So, the 918 dream-maker doesn't list and prices as yet, and that's too bad. But considering the car is due to start off at $845,000 in the US, chances are good that unless you're reading this from the shallow end of your Uncle Scrooge-spec money pool, the cost of any part of the 918 is academic to you anyway.
To start, Porsche is offering twelve paint colors, three wheel choices and seven two-tone interior treatments. Standard lightweight bucket seats and a set of chairs with "firmer padding" are on offer, too. The options list is mostly populated with interior bits, though many - an anti-reflection interior, fire extinguisher, six-point seatbelts - are racing-oriented or functional. Note that Porsche is also kind enough to offer just one cupholder as an optional extra; the unit is made of aluminum and is detachable so that you won't have to carry the extra weight during racing. Also, Porsche probably puts you on some kind of naughty 'list' if you order one...

Porsche Macan configurator lets you build $110k crossover

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Part of the idea behind the new Porsche Macan is that it's less expensive than its larger sibling, the Cayenne. But with a starting MSRP of $49,900, the base Macan S is actually $300 more expensive than the cheapest Cayenne. That, however, is just the start, as you can see from the online configurator.
As is often the case with German cars in general (Porsches especially), tick the right boxes and you'll soon be leaving that base price behind in a cloud of tire smoke. Start off with the Macan Turbo and you're looking at a base MSRP of $72,300, which is already over twenty grand more than the naturally-aspirated version. But even that soon escalates as the options pile on.
Aurum Metallic paint will set you back $3,120. 21-inch wheels, another $3,300. You'll probably want the air suspension, torque vectoring, the Sport Chrono package, adaptive cruise control and lane-change systems, and those each add over a grand to the price. A Burmester surround sound system is the single most expensive option at $4,290. And if you choose them all - and choose all the optional trim packages - you'll soon be looking at a price in excess of $110,000. That's enough to get you into a Cayenne Turbo... assuming you don't tag on all the options to that one, too.

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.
