One owner CALIFORNIA car, driven just enough to keep it nimble with ONLY ** 5,589 miles**. Always garaged in the
perfect dry air environment of the Sacramento California area, it looks as if it just rolled off the assembly line
in Stuttgart. Combined with the most popular exterior and interior colors and equipped with the best of the best
factory options combines to make this a very rare and desirable Collector car in Porsche marque.
The Porsche 911 series 993 were built from 1995 thru 1998 and are the last of the air-cooled 911’s. The Carrera
S (C2S) built only from 1997 thru 1998 is the most highly sought after version of the Porsche 993. With the Turbo
factory wide body and the Carrera’s normally aspirated engine the C2S was a pure sports car without the
complication and weight of turbocharging and all-wheel drive. The driving experience is second to none, with great
torque, lighter weight, and Turbo handling lending itself to amazing drivability. Featuring a unique 'split'
electric spoiler, only 993 C2S’s were sold in the US in 1998 making this a very rare late model Porsche.
Most enthusiasts and collectors consider the 993 to be the best of the 911 series. As Car & Driver noted,
"Porsche's version of the Goldilocks tale is the 993-generation 911, the one many Porschephiles agree that the
company got just "right," with an "ideal blend of technology and classic 911 air-cooled heritage. As an investment,
the 1998 C2S version has proven the most desirable. With the Turbo factory wide body and the Carrera’s normally
aspirated engine the C2S was a pure sports car without the complication and weight of turbocharging and all-wheel
drive."Many find that they are the best looking 993 there is and prices have always seemed to reflect this "The
purists will want 2 wheel drive and nothing else will do. Similarly, purists will insist upon the manual
transmission over the automatic "Tiptronic" version; this is even more true in the case of the 993 as compared with
other models, because Porsche 993s were the first production model (apart from the 959 supercar) to feature a
6-speed manual transmission. The C2S wide-body 993s are in scarce supply, with none built in 1995 or 1996, and just
759 units made for North America in 1997, with a final supply of 993 in 1998, for a total of 1,752 C2S examples
overall.

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.
Audi welcomes Porsche back to Le Mans like any sibling would
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.
Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.
Take a look below for a video to see just what that teasing looks like.
Porsche Cayman GTS in track battle with 996 GT3
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Here's your tough question of the day: Would you rather drive a new Porsche Cayman GTS or a slightly older, 996-era Porsche 911 GT3? Certainly, both cars have their plusses. The Cayman is the more modern proposition, sure, but the GT3 is, well, a GT3. So yes, it's a tough decision.
If you're one of the lucky souls that have to make that choice, then this video from Evo should prove pretty helpful. It's a track battle, starring Jethro Bovingdon with a new GTS and an old GT3.
Calling the GTS "fantastically agile" and "fast, but it's also hilariously good fun," Bovingdon bangs home a solid lap time of 1:05.2 before switching to the GT3. It's remarkable to see just how dated the 996-generation 911 looks after viewing the newer Porsche, and from where we sit, it's further proof that the old car's headlights are something that's best forgotten. Styling qualms aside, though, can the GT3 keep up with its racy younger cousin?
