2002 Porsche 911 Targa on 2040-cars
Sainte Genevieve, Missouri, United States
This is a very special Porsche. This Targa is a very unique 2002 Arctic Silver Porsche 911 Carrera Targa with only
13,000 miles.
This Targa came with the factory Technic Package and has been very tastefully customized with body and mechanical
parts to replicate a 2002-2004 996 GT3. This was done with a Jacquemond Aero Body Kit and GT3 rear wing, upgraded
red powder coated calipers and H&R Sport lowering springs with proper upper strut mount kit. The only thing that is
missing is the GT3 wheels.The body kit was installed by Mirror Finish in Oklahoma City who specialize in Porsche and BMW.
The workmanship on the install is excellent and the quality of the body kit is so high that it looks completely OEM
and the paint is a perfect 100% match. This car handles better than my stock 911 Cabriolet and actually has a
smoother more compliant ride, even with the lowering. In addition it has an Evolution Motorsports INTK996 Induction
System and Stage 1 Computer Tune done by Bob Dumont, Porsche Only Service also in Oklahoma City.
The Targa also has a custom audio system that was done without any modifications to the dash with an Alpine AM/FM,
MP3, SiriusXM Satellite and JL Audio 4 channel Full Range Amp and JL 6.5” 3-way speaker system with a JL 10”
Subwoofer. You can see the subwoofer install in the pictures. It looks like it was done at the factory, just
beautiful.
At 11,400 miles I had the IMS BEARING UPGRADED to the TuneRS Centers for Porsche DOF (direct oil feed) bearing. It
was more expensive than others but to me, offers the absolute best engineering of all.

Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.
Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?
Wed, 29 Jan 2014In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
