My caretaking duties have come to an end with my beloved 356 Porsche Speedster Replica.

This 1957 CMC Speedster Porsche Replica was built, per the previous owner, in 1979. It's a well sorted car, which has served my wife and I very well.  We frequently (every 2 months) drive to Napa (90mi) and Sonoma(105mi) without any problems, ever.

This 1957 Speedster is very tastefully prepared in, per the previous owner, signal red, black top, black 1/4 tonneau, black full tonneau, red/black dash, black carpets, 5 lug wheels w/ Porsche hubcaps, rally running lights (which stay on all-the-time for safety), rally hood straps, and light stone guards. It also had proper seats, stopwatch mounts for time trials and club rallies (I am keeping my working stopwatches, however the "show-non-working" watches will come with the car), shifter trim, dash eyebrow, and door panels prepared with speakers, but doesn't come with a radio. I love the sound of this car, fantastic music.

This car is incredible in person. It's definitely an attention getter. It's just beautiful and will be missed. We're preparing another vehicle for historical races and have run out of room.
This car owns the wood-floored garage. Living at home as a ornament in the garage pup. My personal museum-type piece shared with family and friends.

It is fitted with a 1600 cc Engine, Italian vintage steering wheel (roughly near $2k on its own) and Black Dash Knobs and Shifter Knob. Speedster floormats (not shown, but will come with the car), 12V electrical, four wheel drum brakes, replica took kit, and owner's manual,  Reutter Coachworks fender badge, and many other accents.

I planned to do club rallys with the car, but haven't found any in our area and over the last few years I've fallen in love with Vintage Racing and therefore have decided to build a purpose built race car. So, this car was only used for wine trips with my wife and I. She's been treated very well; both of them.

Titled as a 1957 Porsche making it exempt from emission or smog testing.
Rare -- Comes with YOM plates! Will be transferred to the new owner! ($400 and a lot of work to get)

There's a small tear on the driver's seat (see photos, not really noticeable in person).and there's a small patch in the convertible top.
The gear box works fantastic, no synchro problems or reverse "pop out." It drives smooth and strong. Just a fantastic drive.
Cruise @ 70mph without any problems. I drive max 70 mph, never went above that as I didn't want the RPMs to go too high as I heard it's not good for these engines.

All gauges are working and from a 914. First thing I did was replace the gauges with a set of nicely refreshed gauges. So they work very well.

Being an older build, and from what I was told, restored 10 years ago, I'm not too sure how many miles are on it.
I've done everything I can to make sure she's running well, who wants to be stranded over 100 miles from home, right? So I've made sure it's kept up with oil changes, mechanics, etc, ...

The engine bay is sealed - Most CMCs are not.

I will miss her, but we are only temporary caretakers and now she's ready to be handed off to someone who can continue to care for her.

Editors' Picks June 2024: Some German SUVs and an excellent sports car

Fri, Jul 5 2024

This month sees some recently-refreshed luxury SUVs join the list of Editors' Picks. Both the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne are fresh for 2024, and both are extremely tempting luxury performance SUVs for the well-off buyer. The vast array of powertrains available for both of them ensure there's a version for all comers, and any enthusiast would adore the extra-high-performance versions of both. Of course, enthusiasts will enjoy the last car on this month's list the most with the Lotus Emira. It's simply spectacular to drive, and we can't recommend it enough to the hardcore driver. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. You'll find the entire list of Editors' Picks at this link here, which we keep updated as cars are either added or dropped from the list. The vehicles youÂ’ll find below consist of every car we rated in June that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 BMW X5 2024 BMW X5 M Competition View 41 Photos Quick take: The X5 is most desirable in its PHEV and M60i V8 trims, but the whole lineup is extremely competent and brings together excellent performance, excess luxury and cutting-edge tech for its segment. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Mercedes-Benz GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport, Maserati Levante, Genesis GV80, Audi Q8 Pros: Superb to drive with knockout powertrains; excellent utility and creative features; styling is sporty and attractive but not over the top Cons: Infotainment system can be a pain; M Competition model is a little over the top; gets pricey quick with options From the editors:  Senior Editor, Electric John Beltz Snyder — "I really like the dual-opening liftgate/tailgate combo. The liftgate portion up top opens quickly, allowing you to throw something inside or grab something out of the back. Flipping down the lower tailgate part gives you a nice place to sit and change shoes. Another benefit is that you can open the liftgate without unsecured items immediately falling out. And with the way the X5 M Competition encourages you to drive it hard, you will end up shifting loose cargo around at some point." Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "I'd snag the X5 M60i out of all the various X5 variants.

2017 Porsche 911 Turbo First Drive [w/video]

Mon, Feb 8 2016

Remember when turbos were a big fat middle finger to the naturally aspirated status quo? The horsepower renaissance has seen the forced induction phenomenon go from badass add-on (Turbo 'Vette!) to battle cry for efficiency (Kia Optima Turbo). From econoboxes to high-end holdovers like Ferrari and Aston Martin, everybody's doing the turbo shuffle. But what does that mean for the gang from Stuttgart – and more importantly, the top-of-the-line 911 that has called itself Turbo since the mid-1970s? I spent a day in the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S to find out. Now is a particularly fitting time to evaluate the latest iteration of the venerable Porsche 911 Turbo. Our scrutiny comes at a moment when standard-issue Boxsters, Caymans, and Carreras have finally adopted turbocharged platforms. The Turbo S has a top speed of 205 mph, marking the first time the model has crested the 200-mph barrier. Spoiler alert: Rather than radically transforming its long-evolved essence, the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo has made incremental changes that makes it, well, more Turbo than ever. Horsepower for the Turbo and Turbo S climbs 20 each, to 540 and 580, respectively; 0-60 times drop to a scant 2.9 and 2.8 seconds, and these top dogs now have terminal velocities of 198 and 205 miles per hour, marking the first time the model has crested the 200-mph barrier. The forced-induction flagships have different engine hardware, another first for the lineup, with the S gaining larger turbo impellers and housings. A revised differential enhances the precision of power transfer, while the PDK dual-clutch transmission (the only gearbox available) gains a centrifugal pendulum for smoothness. The dynamic engine mounts now work harder for crisper response, and the variable damping rates have been extended at both ends for a wider range of settings. If you're a fan of hanging the tail out, you'll be pleased to know that a new Sport mode enables greater yaw angles. And if you dig indiscreet bursts of acceleration, there's now a Dynamic Boost function that preps the drivetrain for a little extra oomph by dropping down a gear and holding the throttle open to maintain turbo pressure, increasing torque from 487 to 523 pound-feet, and from 516 to 553 lb-ft in the S. Standard equipment now includes a Sport Chrono Package, camera-equipped parking sensor, and the Porsche Dynamic Light System. Engine flexibility is outstanding, allowing peak torque to start at only 2,250 rpm.

Porsche names Oliver Blume as new CEO

Wed, Sep 30 2015

With Matthias Muller stepping up to take over as the new chief executive of the entire Volkswagen Group, the Porsche division is going to need a new CEO of its own. Taking Muller's place will be Dr. Oliver Blume, who assumes his new responsibilities on October 1. Blume is no stranger to the higher ranks at Porsche, having served for over two years now as the executive in charge of the company's production and logistics. In that capacity, he oversaw the establishment of the workshop where the 918 Spyder was built by hand, and the expansion of the Leipzig plant to handle production of the Macan and Panamera. He'll now be stepping into bigger shoes, however, as chairman of the board of management – essentially the company's chief executive. At the same time, Porsche has also named Detlev von Platen as its head of sales and marketing. Von Platen has for the past seven years headed up the North American office, which recently lost its VP as well to Rolls-Royce, so they're going to need to make some new appointments in Atlanta. The previous marketing chief Bernhard Maier is moving to the Czech Republic to take over as CEO of Skoda. The company's CFO Lutz Meschke has also been named as deputy chairman of the executive board. The appointments come amidst a giant game of musical chairs within the Volkswagen Group. Aside from the ousting of former supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piech five months ago, the diesel emissions scandal has seen the German industrial giant cleaning house within its top ranks and R&D staff. Most notable was the resignation of Martin Winterkorn, whose position at the head of the group's management board Muller will now assume. Supervisory Board of Porsche AG appoints Detlev von Platen Head of Sales and Marketing Oliver Blume is new Chairman of the Executive Board Stuttgart. At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG appointed Dr. Oliver Blume (47) the Chairman of the Executive Board of the sports car manufacturer effective October 1, 2015. Blume succeeds Matthias Muller (62), who was appointed by the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG to be the new Chairman of the Board of Management of the Wolfsburg-based group. It has been exactly five years since Muller left Volkswagen to become the CEO of Porsche AG. Since the beginning of 2013, Blume has been a member of the Porsche Executive Board responsible for Production and Logistics.
