1997 Porsche 993 911 Carrera 4s Coupe, 6-speed, Artic Silver W/black, Low Miles on 2040-cars
United States
1997 911 Carrera 4S. Arctic silver with black interior, 6-speed transmission. The car is in excellent condition and has won multiple multi-region PCA concours , scoring perfectly for interior and trunk at different times. I have a clear title in hand. The car is completely original with a few bolt-on upgrades that can be changed to original in a few hours. The only cosmetic modifications are the rear turbo spoiler and, in the front, the turbo S ducts and clear turn signal lenses. The car has an upgraded Fabspeed sport catalytic converter and TechArt mufflers that improve the breathing and sound. The car passed emission testing. If desired, I can deliver the car in original trim without the upgrades.
The car has 58,8xx miles. The body and interior are in excellent condition, with only a few stone chips and some normal wear on driver seat bolster. The turbo twist wheels are in excellent shape with no curb rash at all. The clear stone shields on the rear fenders were replaced in 2013. Oil and filters and belts were changed this year. Everything on the car works as it should, including strong AC.
Options on the car, from the underhood sticker:
329 CR210 (upgraded to 220. Has Porsche CD changer in trunk, Sony magazine) 437 Power seat, left 454 Cruise 650 Sunroof 659 Computer
Included with the car are the original tool kit, original OEM “C4S” and aftermarket colored-crest center caps, spare tire donut, air compressor with 2 tabs and light, lower engine tray, original manuals, all keys, cover, Lloyd’s mats, plastic bags and gloves, and bras for front end and mirrors.
I am the fourth owner and have put over 6000 miles on the car, including several long trips on which the car ran perfectly. The third owner had the car for about 10 years. I have maintenance records back to the original delivery from Stoddard.
The car is listed for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction. |

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Porsche reveals new 911 Turbo Cabriolets, starting from $160,700*
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Porsche has come a long way from the days when its entire model line revolved essentially around the 911, but its prototypical rear-engined sports car is still what it's known for best, and still keeps the German automaker pretty busy. With a seemingly endless array of variations on the theme, the 911s just keep on coming until a new generation arrives and then it starts all over again. And what we have here is the new king of the hill (for now, anyway).
Set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show a little less than two months from now are the new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolets. And no, that's not a typo: that's cabriolets, plural, because what you're looking at are two new models. First up is the 911 Turbo Cabriolet, whose 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six develops 520 horsepower, driving the droptop to 60 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds. That's Porsche's claim, and we have a feeling it's a bit conservative. But if that's still not enough, the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet adds an extra 40 hp for a total of 560 to drop the benchmark acceleration run down to 3.1 seconds.
That makes the new topless Turbos 30 horses stronger and 0.2 seconds quicker than the respective models they replace, but the weight penalty involved with replacing a fixed roof with a folding one (and the necessary structural reinforcement) does make the new 911 Turbo Cabs a smidgen more lethargic than their contemporary coupe counterparts, which run the gauntlet in 3.2 and 2.9 seconds in standard Turbo and upgraded Turbo S specs, respectively. They only lose a single tick on the top speed, though, which clocks in at a follicle-tickling 195 mph in either spec. Otherwise the specifications are as identical as you might expect.
Xcar considers the Porsche 911 GT3's PDK
Fri, May 29 2015Porsche ruffled some feathers when it unveiled the latest 911 GT3 a couple of years ago with a dual-clutch transmission instead of an old-school manual. The rationale was (and remains) that the PDK makes the enthusiast's Elfen faster than it would be with a stick. The purists scoffed, but Zuffenhausen held firm – and even did the same with the even more hardcore GT3 RS. In its latest video, the boys at Xcar set out to find out if the GT3 with its fancy automated gearbox is as good as the previous model (or as good as the current model could be) with a manual – and took in some of the track toy's other trickery while they were at it. Check out the video above to find out what conclusion they reached.
