Porsche 1992 America Roadster
This is most likely the lowest mileage Porsche 964 American Roadster left, a one owner car with only 3373 miles
since new. Finished in black 'Schwartz' with Tan leather interior this car was bought new in 1992 and has remained
with its first and only owner throughout its life.
In 1952 the fledgling Porsche company had its eyes set on what would become its biggest marked, that of North
America. Sticking to Dr. Porsches ethos of an efficient and fast two seater they produced a no nonsense sportster
dubbed the 'America Roadster,’ only 25 examples were manufactured, all but one sold to the US market.
Fast forward forty years to 1992, Porsche had built a legend in the 911 originally designed by Ferdinand
‘Butzi’ Porsche in 1964, now in what is considered the final iteration of the classic body shell the 964 had
evolved into a thoroughly modern car with all of the expected creature comforts and safety equipment expected in
the modern world.
To celebrate the anniversary of the 25 cars from forty years earlier Porsche reintroduced the formula for a short
run of 964 models, producing in the process 250 of the 964 'America Roadsters.’ Utilizing a Turbo wide body
convertible it was equipped with such features as special 17” Cup wheels, turbo brakes and suspension, a rear
seat delete - making it strictly a two seater and a fully electric convertible top. Keeping the lines clean, the
rear spoiler was that of the regular Carrera 2 and 4 - a speed activated electric unit housed in the engine lid.
Powered was generated by the normally aspirated flat six rated at 280hp
Finished in solid black (Schwarz) with Tan interior featuring Ruffled leather seats, condition is as ‘showroom
fresh’ as you are ever likely to see, the paint finish is factory Porsche original, all factory applied finishes
and stickers are present. Toolkit, tire compressor, spare tire bag and tire changing gloves are of course included
and unused. This car was optioned with a Tiptronic transmission, making it rarer still as only 41 cars were so
equipped.
Having just had a full service and maintenance update by the local Porsche main dealer it is on the button for the
new owner.

As part of Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car competition, the buff book has held its third iteration of the World's Greatest Drag Race. With an airfield and a dozen of the world's finest performance cars at its disposal (oh, and a helicopter), the MT team did what any good group of enthusiasts would do, and tried to figure what car could cover a quarter mile the quickest. World's greatest drag race, indeed.
The contestants, as MT points out, cover a huge variety of engine types, drivelines, aspiration types and body styles, making for a genuinely varied and interesting field of competitors. Here's the full list of cars taking part.

Porsche, Hyundai and GM impress in J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, Fiat and Jeep don't

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Consumers continue to struggle with the advanced user interfaces and technologies being fitted to new cars, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.

Horn, Hackenburg, Hatz to be fired as VW diesel scandal deepens

Thu, Sep 24 2015

Volkswagen will sack three more high ranking executives, including the head of its US division, as the company's diesel scandal deepens. Reuters reported Thursday morning that the executives are: Michael Horn, who has led VW's US operations since January 1, 2014; Ulrich Hackenberg, who oversaw Audi's research and development; and Wolfgang Hatz, who was in charge of R&D for Porsche. A VW spokesman wouldn't comment in response to an Autoblog email. The moves come in the wake of longtime VW chief executive Martin Winterkorn stepping down on Wednesday. Volkswagen's board said at the time that it expected more personnel changes to follow. Volkswagen's board is scheduled to meet Friday, and Porsche CEO Matthias Muller has reportedly been named as Winterkorn's successor. The German auto giant was plunged into crisis last Friday when the EPA charged that the company manipulated software in its diesel-powered cars to pass US emissions tests. About 482,000 vehicles in the US are affected, and VW estimates 11 million around the world could have the rigged software. The revelations have prompted outcry from governments and regulatory agencies, and in the US, Volkswagen could face a fine of up to $18 billion. The departure of Horn, Hackenberg, and Hatz is a stunning downfall for three of the company's top and most visible executives. Horn had led US operations for less than two years, taking over from Jonathan Browning, who was well-respected but failed to reach VW's ambitious sales targets. Before overseeing Audi R&D, Hackenberg was hailed as a visionary for work in developing VW's modular architectures, which allow the company to save time and money by building many vehicles off the same chassis. Hatz had led Porsche R&D since 2011 and also was in charge of engines and transmission development for all of Volkswagen.
