Purchased brand new from Champion Porsche, this single-owner 2013 Panamera GTS was custom ordered with many factory options that are not usually spec'd. Finished in Jet black, this car has the SportDesign sideskirts ($1,390), painted Rear Apron ($680), 20" Turbo II wheels ($1,820), Color Crested center caps ($185) and 3M window tint ($250) make this car look even more aggressive. Open the door and the Illuminated Carbon Fiber Door Sill Guards ($1,850) welcome you to the Carmine GTS interior package ($3,450), which is a combination of leather & alcantara with red seatbelts and deviated stitching throughout. The Guards Red Sport Chrono timer ($500) and Fire Extinguisher ($240) were added to match, and the Carbon Interior Package ($1,990) contrasts the aluminum trim to make the cabin feel extremely exotic. Upgraded Bose Surround Sound System ($1,440), SAT/XM/HD receiver ($1,120), and Park Assist+Reverse Camera ($1,255) take the PCM nav system a step beyond. The rear passengers this car never carried were not forgotten either!.. Four Zone Climate Control ($1,020) extend the carbon fiber to the rear console and Electronic Rollup Shades ($890) provide additional privacy. Porsche Entry & Drive ($1,090) and Servotronic ($270) are creature comforts the driver gets to enjoy. There is also a ClearBra ($900) installed by the dealer on the front bumper, which is all but invisible unless you feel the edge.

The car was built with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector in lieu of the standard alcantara because it does not show wear (those who know oils from your skin deteriorate alcantara touch points very quickly). I also refused to delete the Panamera GTS decals on the leading edge of the front doors and trunk badge because while they are a subtle, they denote this car is not a pedestrian Panamera. All chrome trim is blacked out on GTS models (headlights and exhaust tips too) and the red Turbo brakes compliment the interior perfectly. Pictures honestly do not do this car justice - even the dealer said this was the nicest Panamera he had sold. It is a fantastic driving experience - the sport exhaust makes the 4.8L V8 sound like a 60's muscle car (it really does) and Sport/SportPlus mode provide an incredible driving experience (not exaggerating, its size defies logical physics) This car really is the answer to a sports cars' lack of practicality and to a large degree, eliminates the need for a 911. It is a head turner without screaming it. It eats up the road with ease and covers ground effortlessly. I have driven more than my fair share of performance cars and this car truly is one of my favorites.

It has belonged to my mother since new and she enjoyed it on the state roads of NH in the summers. In cliche terms, it really is a mint condition bone stock, non-smoker, middle aged female-driven, highway miles example and has not seen winter, or a track for that matter! We are long time auto enthusiasts and take excellent care of the cars. For instance, oil was changed before scheduled services (as an out of pocket expense) for preventative maintenance because 15k miles is too much IMO! It now resides in our air-conditioned warehouse in South Florida and is not being driven anymore until sold. An unlucky situation for a divorcee is going to be someone's good fortune.

While this vehicle DOES have a clean Carfax and has NEVER been in an accident, I want to disclose that it has had cosmetic damage repaired. Last year, the two drivers side doors were carelessly scraped in a parking lot. I researched body shops for weeks until entrusting it to Mike's Auto Body in Malden, MA who did a truly stellar job. I am that jerk when it comes to bodywork and can tell you the paint and orange peel match is excellent, enough so that I am as proud to openly share this about the vehicles history. I also have photographs of the prior damage to prove it was not a significant wreck and will absolutely provide them to a serious buyer to ease any concerns. Besides that, the only other flaw is the original tires are near the end of their life. Pirellis aren't exactly known for their durability, so >20k miles on a car this size speaks volumes about how the car was driven..  I think I have answered most questions but if you have any thing further you'd like to know, please feel free to contact me directly!

Porsche LMP1 to use 4-cyl hybrid powertrain [w/poll]

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With the Formula One season - and indeed his entire F1 career - now behind him, Mark Webber took advantage of his early release from Red Bull Racing to try out the new LMP1 which Porsche is developing, undertaking the final test session of 2013 before Porsche throws it head first into the FIA World Endurance Championship next April. The session - which followed previous tests at Magny-Cours, Monza, Paul Ricard and the Eurospeedway at Lausitz - was held at the Algarve circuit in Portimão, Portgual, in collaboration with Michelin, which is developing the tires for the car. But that's hardly the news here.
No, the news is the first confirmation we've seen on the type of powertrain Porsche has developed for its new Le Mans prototype: a gasoline-burning four-cylinder engine with direct injection and two energy recovery systems. This contrasts sharply with the V6 turbodiesel and single electric motor used by Audi in the R18 e-tron Quattro (or at least the outgoing version) or the naturally-aspirated V8 and single electric motor found in the Toyota TS030. Flexibility in the rules set down by the FIA and ACO give the manufacturers that kind of latitude, prompting F1 teams like Ferrari and Renault to consider developing their new engines for Le Mans prototypes as well.
At this point Porsche isn't saying how large its four-cylinder engine is or how much power it will produce. But it'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how it fares against the Audi and Toyota in next year's championship and at Le Mans when it'll be piloted by Webber, former Lola LMP1 driver Neel Jani and Audi's own 2011 Le Mans-winning pair of Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 Porsche 928 convertible by Carelli

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

The Porsche 928 was perhaps the consummate European GT of its day. With a powerful front-mounted V8 engine that grew in displacement as the model years went on, it was capable of eating up the miles at triple-digit speeds in great comfort for occupants. It was also an unusual beauty, with its sharp front and curved rear featuring innovative integrated bumpers.
Currently for auction on eBay Motors is one of the rarest 928s you're likely to find, in a handsome combination of Guards Red paint and tan leather interior, though we wouldn't mind a less-showy finish to the factory wheels. According to the seller, this car is one of eight 928 convertibles by Carelli Design, a firm that's still in business.
The auction claims that these cars were made in 1981 as a feasibility study between Carelli and Porsche for a possible production 928 convertible. The seller says he worked at the dealership where the car is said to have been originally sold $103,000. To remove the roof and hide the convertible top, there were significant changes made to the body and interior, including redesigned doors and a completely new trunk. As you can see in the gallery, when down, the top is completely hidden in a very factory-like fashion. When up, it looks slightly awkward, though (and we'd really like to see a rear three-quarter view to check out the blind spots).

2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is a 911 Turbo for the family man

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

In the event that the Porsche Panamera Turbo's 520 horsepower and 189-mile-per-hour top speed aren't enough to sate the appetite of the speed freak, Porsche has just given the auto show debut to the faster, more powerful Panamera Turbo S.
With 570 horsepower being pumped from a 4.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, the Panamera Turbo S promises even faster acceleration, hitting 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement over the standard Turbo. The top speed, meanwhile, climbs to 192 mph, which is kind of ridiculous for a car with four doors and a trunk.
Other enhancements that come with this Panamera's extra syllable include carbon-ceramic brakes and the entirety of Porsche's active chassis systems, including Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and Porsche Active Suspension Management. The performance goodies come standard, but that doesn't mean the Panamera Turbo S is cheap.
