1978 Porsche 911SC - Original Unrestored Car
This is a great low mileage example of a first year 911SC Coupe. It has always been garaged and has only traveled
36,630 miles. Its totally original and it has had a recent $10,000 dollar engine out service to address chain
tensioners and head studs that were weak in this model. It's original silver paint shows well and the interior is
fantastic. It has the highly sought after
velour inserts with silver striping and the seats are in great shape. It has been professionally detailed and is
ready to use. If you have been looking for an SC coupe this one would be hard to beat.
Hagerty's Description:
History of the 1978-1983 Porsche 911
Porsche engineers don’t make mistakes very often but the U.S. spec 2.7 liter 911s built between 1975 and 1977
were plagued with engine problems when new. In 1978, Porsche put those problems behind them with the introduction
of the brilliant 3.0 liter 911SC. Porsche now finally mated a body that was capable of lasting indefinitely with an
engine that was capable of lasting nearly that long. Well maintained 911SCs are capable of 300,000 miles between
rebuilds. Power was up too from the 2.7 liter 911 although not by an enormous amount and the SC was good for a 0-60
run of about 6.3 seconds. Leather, A/C power mirrors, and forged alloy wheels became all but standard. The last
year of the car saw the addition of the first full convertible Porsche since 1965. It wasn’t quite yet the
perfect 911—that would have to wait until the 3.2 liter Carrera—timing chain tensioners and exploding airboxes
would continue to plague the 3.0 liter cars. By now though, enthusiast owners have updated these trouble spots on
most cars and the 911SC remains an excellent choice for a first Porsche.

Porsche's new twin-turbo V8 will power Audis
Fri, May 6 2016Porsche unveiled a new twin-turbo V8 engine at the 37th International Vienna Motor Symposium yesterday. According to a report from Car and Driver, the engine will see use in future V8 applications across the VW Group and could find its way into various Audis, Bentleys, and even the Lamborghini Urus. We expect to see it first in the 2017 Porsche Panamera. The engine makes 549 horsepower and 567 pound-feet of torque, or 21 hp less than the 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 in the Panamera Turbo S. Welcome to the brave new world in which Porsche is a more-integrated part of the VW group. While the new engine puts out impressive numbers, it likely means that the Porsche-exclusive 4.8-liter is headed for the history books. Component sharing is nothing new - Porsche already uses other VW Group engines in its lineup - but it means the flat-four and flat-six engines in the 718 Boxster/Cayman and 911 will be the only unique powerplants remaining in the Stuttgart automaker's offerings. According to C/D, the new engine features cylinder deactivation and is optimized for future hybrid applications. It also consumes 30 percent less fuel than its predecessor, and will mate to both an 8-speed automatic and ZF's dual-clutch 8-speed. Along with the next Panamera, Porsche is also likely to use this engine in the Cayenne. A representative of Porsche North America was unable to provide any official information to Autoblog.

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.
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.
