2001 - Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Portsmouth, Rhode Island, United States
This 911 in in very good mechanical & cosmetic condition. There is some normal wear and tear, but nothing dramatic. The driver door had a small ding (before pic available) but was repaired and painted. The windshield has a small stone chip that was filled. It was done before I owned the car and has never been an issue of any sort. Small blemishes on leather trim of driver's door. Never been in the snow/salt and has always been garaged. There have been 4 owners. I believe the first was a factory person who put about 2000 miles on, the second a lessee who put on about 4800 miles. The third is a friend of mine (ex professional baseball player) who bought it with about 6950 miles in 01/03. I purchased it from him in 01/04 with about 18,962 miles and have owned it since. The majority of the miles have been from day trips and longer distance trips, very little beating around town. Non smoking car, still a nice leather smell inside. Oil/Filter changed 100 miles ago. New battery installed about three months ago. Tires in great shape. I am also including a molded cloth Car cover, specifically designed for the 911 (about 200 new). Bridgestone S-02A tires in great shape. Factory Hardtop (Black) is also included. It also comes with two keys, original factory black and clear coat touch up paint (in perfect condition, I checked). Runs very strong, tight car, never raced. AC very strong. The All Wheel Drive system matched with the PSM traction control (Porsche Stability Management) makes all the difference in the world for safe handling in less that perfect conditions or at the limit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Porsche planning new 911 Speedster as 550 tribute
Tue, 12 Nov 2013Some look at the emergence of a new Porsche 911 and see a car. But to Porsche engineers, it might as well be a reset button. Because every time a new 911 comes out, it sets off a tidal wave of new variants to follow, including convertibles, turbos, targas, GT3s... the works.
The next down the pipeline, though, could be one of the most desirable. That, according to German publication Auto Bild, will be a new 911 Speedster. When it arrives early in 2015, the special roadster will reportedly be limited to just 550 examples in tribute to the original 550 Spyder.
It'll reportedly have hidden door handles, a chopped-down windshield and a fabric top to be used only in case of emergency, manually disappearing below a carbon-fiber cowling. All of which makes it sounds as much like a bigger version of the Boxster Spyder as a successor to the last 911 Speedster (pictured above), and that's no bad thing at all.
New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight
Wed, 19 Jun 2013J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
