2006 Porsche Cayman S Techart Gt / X-51 Performance Upgrade Package on 2040-cars
Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, United States
|
Testing the waters to sell my one-off 2006 Cayman S with complete Techart GTS exterior package. Car has 50,000 miles and runs and drives perfect. Just inspected at dealer and came back with a clean bill of health. They were also very impressed with the extensive performance modifications.
The original owner wanted a Techart GT car directly from Techart, but when he found out the waiting period he decided to build his own, sparing no expense. Believe it or not, including the purchase price of the car new, the original owner spent just under $160,000 (I would've never!). Unfortunately he lost it to a mechanics lien (so I was told)and I traded one of my 911s for it. The car has since only been driven about 500 miles in the last year. I currently own and have owned in the past year multiple Porsche 911s, tastefully modded Mercedes AMGs, BMWs and two Maseratis and I have never gotten more questions, pictures taken, or people drooling at gas stations! Every time I look at it myself I say "Damn! That's a badass Porsche!" Truly a turn key one of a kind Porsche that I feel any Porsche enthusiast would compliment. Doing a little more research on the internet, I have found the original owner here on Planet 9. There is quite a bit of information and pics on his profile. Please search username Porsches4ed. Come to find out this evening this was the first and still may be the only 3.8 x-51 upgrade package installed on a 3.4 including one off software and support from a company called Softronic. Here is a list of modifications: Exterior: Techart front bumper cover $4500+ Techart Ultrabright multifunction LED daytime running lights $1400 Techart badge on hood $330 LOL Techart carbon fiber side mirror caps Techart rear spoiler with carbon fiber $5000 2009+ rear bumper with LED taillights Victor Equipment Florio 3 piece 20" wheels GT3 grill Performance: Porsche X-51 ultimate performance package, which is an extensive factory upgrade lightweight pulley kit cold air intake system ARP full stainless steel exhaust with supporting software installed suspension ? Not sure which coil overs are installed. Will know tomorrow Interior: custom clear acrylic engine cover custom Kenwood touchscreen DVD backup camera amp and sub which sound surprisingly awesome utilizing the factory Bose speakers I am not looking to get rich. I just don't have the room to store a 2 seater having a family when I have many other exotic and/or fun vehicles. Whoever buys this car is going to get a truly amazing car for an even more amazing deal! Car is also for sale locally. I reserve the right to end auction early. More photos will be posted tomorrow. Please call anytime with any questions you may have. Jerry 586-822-5543 |

Porsche continues facelift spree with 911 Turbo
Fri, 24 Jan 2014If there's ever been automotive case for constant evolution, it is the Porsche 911. It seems like every time a new version of the rear-engined sports car debuts, Porsche is already hard at work on a facelifted version of it that changes some subtle, barely noticeable aspect.
Such is the case with this round of images of a facelifted 911 Turbo, which was seen undergoing winter testing alongside the facelifted, hardtop-version of the 911 Cabriolet we showed you yesterday. The new, 991-based 911 Turbo was just unveiled in May of 2013.
Like the Cabrio from yesterday, both the Turbo and naturally aspirated models shown here feature additional slats at the rear of the car, right behind the rear wheels. These slats on the standard model lend credence to what we learned yesterday - that even the regular 911 models could end up getting turbocharged mills.
Modded budget Mazda Miata takes on new Porsche Boxster in more challenges
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Earlier this month, our friends across the pond at Auto Express released the first in a two-video series that would see them try and build up a second-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata that could best a standard Porsche Boxster around the track. While that first video detailed the mods to the MX-5 - a supercharger, some suspension upgrades and a new set of super-sticky rubber being chief among them - and set baseline lap times for the stock car, today, we have the results of the 5,000-pound ($8,200) upgrade job.
Of course, we aren't going to spoil those for you. You'll need to watch the full video, which recaps the upgrades before digging into a comparison of both straight-line-speed differences between the 2.7-liter Porsche Boxster and blown Miata, as well as their behavior and lap times on the track.
Take a look and let us know what you think in Comments.
Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
