1988 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Bronx, New York, United States
1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Club Sport. This Club Sport is one of just 22 Club Sports imported to North America in 1988 and retains its rarer still factory dark blue color. It comes with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and was featured in an article in Excellence Magazine in September 2012 (read article for more details on the history and build). Although this is a genuine CS, it is not for the purists; this car has been thoughtfully and thoroughly modified in the direction Porsche intended, albeit with care taken to minimize any irreversible changes. Already a lightened version of the Carrera when it left Stuttgart, this particular CS, at 2470 lbs with fuel, is almost 300 lbs lighter than the standard Carrera and some 500 lbs lighter than the Turbo. Power is up handsomely too, thanks to the very professional transplant (by Rothsport) of a 3.8 liter VarioRam motor out of a 993. The setup develops 321hp, resulting in some astonishing acceleration in this featherweight car. So, yes, it is not a stock Club Sport...it is better! Sounds better, runs better, handles and stops better, etc. It can be your track day/DE weapon, collectible street car, or with some updated wheels and tires and re-installation of some of the factory panels (provided), it could be your version of an Outlaw or Singer.

Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
Father-son team grows close by building tuned Porsche
Mon, 21 Jul 2014We've seen several heartwarming videos of kids bonding over cars with their parents, whether racing together or giving them as gifts. The story of Leh Keen and his father McGrath, though, is somewhat different. Not many dads are looking for a vehicle quite this mental.
As Leh tells it, his dad saw a video online of one of the wild Porsches from Japanese tuner Rauh-Welt Begriff and decided that he needed one of the creations in his own garage. Since Leh knows something about cars himself as a driver for Alex Job Racing in the United SportsCar Championship, McGrath put his son in charge of managing the build from the company.
When the car made it to the US for completion from Rauh's famed builder Nakai, father and son bonded over the red, widebody 993-platform 911. The final product is certainly eye-catching. Scroll down to watch the video that features not only an engrossing father-son tale but also a seriously wicked, tuned Porsche from one of Japan's finest.
Porsche 911 GT3 named Performance Car of the Year by Road & Track
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The Porsche 911 GT3 is a very, very good performance car. Yes, we know this is like saying fire is hot and a shovel to the head hurts. What's different about this proclamation, then? Well, we bring up the 911 GT3's inherent goodness because our friends at Road & Track have named it their 2015 performance car of the year.
This is, our joking aside, a big accomplishment for the 911 GT3, due largely to the field of cars it beat out. There were many equally track-focused wonders in attendance, including the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Dodge Viper SRT TA, as well as more capable everyday vehicles, like the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, BMW M3 and Ford Mustang GT.
But it was the 475-horsepower, rear-engined track star that R&T fell for, with editor-in-chief Larry Webster calling out the Porsche's ridiculous, howling, 9,000-rpm redline, while other editors cited its phenomenal handling character.
