1999 Porsche 911 Carrera C2 996 on 2040-cars
Pasadena, California, United States
|
Here's a 1999 996 C2 with slightly less than 68,000 miles. The car holds
a California salvage title but there is no Carfax history to explain why. I own a
body shop and we cannot tell why the car would have been salvaged, the
only evidence of any body work is a driver's side quarter panel and rear
bumper cover which have been repainted. The paint work does not extend
into the door jamb and there is no evidence of tub repairs anywhere, no
marks where a puller was used or evidence of any replaced suspension
parts. It aligned perfectly and has held that alignment for the last
7000 miles of driving.
The car was purchased at a dealer auction in Texas then brought to California. It was bought by a dealer for his son but the son decided to buy another car. I bought it from the dealer with all the auction paperwork and the Texas salvage title. I have used the car as my daily driver and parts chaser for the last 7000 plus miles and the car runs and drives great, no issues. I have not done anything but change oil and replace the rear tires. The car is bone stock except for the CCW wheels (I don't want to sell them separately) and a set of H&R Sport springs, which I installed here at my shop. It also has a Kenwood stereo with a CD changer in the trunk. There are a considerable number of small stone chips on the nose and someone closed the hood on something leaving a small pointed dent facing outwards. The struts that hold the hood up need replaced, the console lid is missing and the remote locks are not working. Otherwise the car is quite clean overall, the interior is very nice with no rips or tears in the seats and everything else works. The front tires are 245/40/18 Blacklions with 7000 miles and the rears are 315/30/18 Pirelli P Zeros with 900 miles. The car has no leaks and I have no evidence to suggest the IMS bearing was done. However, after doing all the research myself I decided it was not worth the time and effort to replace it, especially considering the car is a 1999. It has been a good car and very reliable, also handles great and the gearing is absolutely perfect. This has been my first Porsche and overall I have been impressed with the car.

Mark Webber gets early clearance for Porsche departure
Thu, 28 Nov 2013If there's no rest for the wicked, there's surely even less rest for the wickedly fast. And make no mistake about it, Mark Webber is wickedly fast. He may not have proven able (or given the opportunity, depending on who you ask) to emerge from Sebastian Vettel's shadow after six seasons partnered with the multiple world champion at Red Bull Racing, but he's still won nine Formula One grands prix, to say nothing of the sports car races he won with Mercedes in the late 90s. But now he's leaving F1 to anchor Porsche's new LMP1 program, and according to the latest reports, he's departing Red Bull for Porsche sooner than expected.
Typically an F1 driver is obliged to stay with his team until the end of the calendar year - not just the end of the racing season - helping out with things like promotional events and fine-tuning next year's car. But news.com.au reports that Red Bull has given him early leave, so once the racing action in Brazil is done on Sunday, he's departing straight for Porsche's racing headquarters in Wiessach, Germany.
It won't be Webber's first visit to the facility, having already swung by to have his new seat fitted. But his early arrival will undoubtedly help him and Porsche get up and running ahead of schedule. The move may have been facilitated by a new sponsorship deal that could see Webber carry Red Bull with him to Le Mans, so don't be too surprised to see the energy drink company's logo on the side of the new Porsche once the new racing season gets under way next year, whether in concert with or instead of the anticipated revival of the Martini Racing livery.
Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group
Mon, Jul 5 2021ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."

Watch Porsche's 918 Spyder break a sweat while hot weather testing
Wed, 19 Jun 2013With five months left until the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder enters production, Porsche engineers are still putting the hybrid sports coupe through a battery of last-minute tests. To give us new reasons to ogle over the car - as if we needed any more - Porsche has released a short video showing the 918 Spyder undergoing shakedown tests in the hot Nevada desert. And you can't drive through Nevada without visiting Vegas, too, right?
Although there's really nothing new to see in this video, it's still fun to watch as Porsche approaches one million test miles logged on this exciting new high-performance model. One interesting part (at around the 0:37 mark) shows the car taking off under electric power and then transitioning to engine power, which results in a mix of whirs and growls as the 918 Spyder switches from a 127-horsepower electric vehicle to an 887-hp hybrid supercar. Scroll down to watch - and hear - Porsche's latest creation in motion.
