The 1997 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo is a very rare vehicle - only 1,048 of the Turbo edition were ever imported into the United States.  It's the last air-cooled edition built.  Per Wikipedia:  "993 Turbo models, because of raw power, reliability and their nature as the final air-cooled 911 Turbo cars still command a massive premium."  I have owned this particular car since 1998, at which time I purchased it with roughly 1000 miles on the odometer.  I'm absolutely in love with the car, deeply appreciating the innovation and quality of design and build poured into the vehicle, and I certainly never thought I'd sell it, but with three kids and a cross-country move coming up, my wife finally convinced me.  :)

Feature-wise, the paint color is Guards Red, so people will definitely see you coming.  The interior is black leather with aluminum accents (gauge faces, shifter, Turbo-style kick plates) and black carpeting and carpeted floor mats. The transmission is the six-speed manual (and the shifter is absolutely the smoothest I've ever operated). Several years ago, I had the suspension professionally upgraded and lowered for improved handling and better ride quality.  I also replaced the stock audio system (which is poor by today's standards) with an ultra-high-end system, including very high quality high-power amps, an Alpine head unit and a subwoofer mounted under the driver's side rear seat.  The system incorporates full iPhone integration to enable music on the phone to be navigated and played through the system as well as bluetooth hands-free phone support.  All of this work is reversible if desired.

The car is in excellent condition - I've definitely driven it, but I've also taken great care of it, and all systems work properly.  I recently replaced all of the HVAC servos (as well as other parts of the HVAC system), when one servo started to fail, so the HVAC system is in brand-new condition.  I also just had a major maintenance service on the vehicle.  When I originally took possession, I had clear protective film installed in all the key areas of the body to protect the paint and glass.  It drives phenomenally - very much the same as the day I took possession - uncanny throttle response and acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.9s, top speed of approximately 195 mph) aided by the four-wheel-drive and sophisticated traction system.  It has always been in a smoke-free environment.

NOTE:  if you use Autocheck to verify the history of the vehicle, you'll see that they list the odometer at 115,000 miles.  It's incorrect - the mileage is 53,278, as indicated above and shown in the photos. CarFax already corrected the error, but Autocheck has not.  This error was the result of an emission check station attendant incorrectly hand-entering the odometer reading.

I very much hope that the person who purchases my car loves it and enjoys driving it as much as I have!

Porsche testing new 911 GTS

Wed, 28 May 2014

Porsche may have one more vehicle in its stable with the GTS moniker, if these spy shots are any indication. They show off the presumed 911 GTS lapping the track - the model meant to slide in under the GT3 to be a bit more driver-friendly but still very fast alternative to a stock Carrera.
At first glance, it might look like any other 911, but the devil is in the details. The most obvious among the differences are two centrally mounted exhaust outlets, rather than the ones closer to the corners on most of the current models. They also aren't perfectly in the center like the GT3. The taillights are also somewhat thicker than the current ones, and the rear decklid is split into three exposed sections.
This is the third time we've seen the presumed GTS. The first was as a coupe late last year. Then it showed up again in March testing in convertible form. Although, that version also sported fender vents at the rear.

Ferrari Speciale and Porsche GT3 make the trip to Le Mans

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Call it a pilgrimage. Call it a right of passage. The bottom line is that every racing fan should make the trip to Le Mans at some point. All the better if you can do it in style, as Evo has for this latest video. Instead of taking any old car through the Chunnel and along the French countryside to the famous Circuit de la Sarthe, Evo made the trip in the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3. Both are more extreme versions of the already capable sports cars. They're still naturally aspirated, drive the rear wheels through seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions, and both won top honors in Evo's car of the year awards upon their release. And we could hardly imagine better vehicles for the journey. Along the way, the convoy-of-two stopped by the side of the old Rouen-Les-Essarts circuit. Back in the 1950s and 60s it was regarded as one of Europe's finest street circuits, hosting the French Grand Prix five times. It was closed down and paved over in the decades that followed, and is today part of a public thoroughfare – but you can still drive around it and see some of the relics of its former self peering through.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?
