Here you have the opportunity to purchase at the end of this auction, or perhaps sooner if you make a high enough offer. Stunning black paint that appears to be all original with almost no flaws, only one insignificant one on the hood but no dings, scratches, or rock chips in the paint or glass. Why am I selling this wonderful driver's car? And why do I call it a driver's car? Its a drivers car by dint of how it was equipped from the factory with adaptive sport seating, sport chronometer plus, thicker three spoke sport steering wheel, nice, wide Techart or stock 19" wheels with sticky Bridgestone Potenza tires, wider than I think I have ever owned before. Get in it and drive, its both easy and challenging to drive with reward to the best of your abilities. That being said you don't have to drive it hard, its a rewarding car whether you drive it hard or just puddle along with traffic. Good air conditioning, large sunroof, electric windows all make it easy and fun to be in and drive. This is one investment you wont regret, trust me on that one. So why am I selling, and why after owning it nearly two years have I only put about 50 some miles on it? Well, its an age old story nobody wants to hear so I won't bore you with details other than to say a series of medical problems have prevented me from enjoying it the way I should have. Most of those have been resolved now, I do not have to sell it, I do not need the money nor the space but I simply want something different. Its time to move on to the next supercar, plus I should have purchased an open car, my first love. So now I am ready to move on to the next car to add to my stable. Not that I need any, I have around 15 vehicles and find it hard to give any one of them much time. So now I am determined to reduce my accumulation of cars and this one is first on the list since I want an open car. Who knows, I might even buy another Turbo but in Cabriolet form. Have one you want to trade? Have anything you want to trade let me know thru eBay messaging. Would consider an Aston Martin DB9 Volante or a Generation 3 Dodge Viper, both black or dark blue and convertibles. What do you have to trade? You know about the options, the car is equipped as one would order a real drivers car with options including a sport shifter, adaptive sport seats, 3 spoke multi function steering wheel in matching grey leather, 6 speed manual trans and sport chronometer package turbo plus. And that magnificent 480 horsepower turbo motor, responsive, strong and reliable. One of the best in any car on the planet and destined to stay that way. Porsche keeps upping the ante with more hp and more performance but this car is your last chance to own a manual transmission turbo motor 911. The new 991's are, as I understand it all automatic transmissions with no manual option available. Pity for those of us who like to row our cars around with the shifter. As mentioned, this car does have the sport shifter as well, another driver oriented option. You get your choice of either the lovely but rather common stock Porsche 19x8 and 11 alloys or a full set of the same size Techart black alloys with silver rims, the rears with a nice looking offset. Or for another two grand above the final selling price you can have both and the best part is they both have a good, usable set of super wide Bridgestone Potenza tires, the stock alloys having a shade more tread than the Techarts but they are all plenty usable with at least 70% tread by my estimate. I am not an expert on either Porsches or tires but have had lots of both and I can tell you with all truth this car is the best of the lot that have graced my garages. With only fifty miles on the clock in the last nearly two years since the Nov 2012 purchase the car has in effect had only two real owners, the two prior to myself and I have the mechanical invoices for work done by the second owner only. I believe I have all the books and tools as well with one factory key. Work was done by RAC Performance in Carrollton, TX, the only authorized RUF dealer in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. The 60k service has been done by them. I did have a Pre Purchase Inspection done by Autobahn Motorcar Group, a Porsche dealer in Fort Worth Texas by the manager Devin Tyler done at 61,505 miles showing "no problem areas" and the manager told me that in 6 years the car had only seen a slight over rev a measly 6 times but apparently he did not record that on his report. He said that's unheard of. The car is clean, fresh and ready to go. Take a look at the pics of the interior, it looks new doesn't it? I am so impressed by the quality of the leather and the care that has been taken to maintain this car that it is essentially a like new car. My own tastes seem to lean toward open cars, convertibles and I do love the Aston Martin DB9 Volante which may well be the replacement for this fine automobile. All this is in aid of selling my car which has a title clear and is totally free of encumbrances and is mine. I am not a mechanic, nor am I an expert on anything Porsche, just an enthusiast who has owned several but still I am not an expert at all. All of the descriptions in the auction are my opinion and mine alone. I can not verify anything other than the facts listed above, the car drives what to me is well and like new and I can see no problems with any of the systems or parts of the car. Come and see the car for yourself, I am located west of Fort Collins in the Foothills and will gladly arrange a viewing if you are local or want to make the trip, but do it before the auction ends, NOT AFTER. I bought the car sight unseen and have not regretted it in any way. It has cost me nothing to own other than the insurance and some minor improvements all of which are easily reversible. The carbon fiber rings around the headlites are held on with tape and are easily removed. The front valence under the grille is new and it replaced one that had seen better days by myself. I can at least do that sort of thing. I do not offer any sort of warranty or anything similar to a warranty for anything on the car, the facts presented are my impressions but are not those of an expert. Thus THE CAR CARRIES NOTHING LIKE A WARRANTY AND IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED OR EVEN HINTED AT, NONE!! The transport of the car is the sole responsibility of the buyer but I will do what I can to assist as long as it is understood that the transport is NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY! It is yours if you are the buyer of this fine automobile. I do have a friend who likes to take cars around the country on a single car trailer and if he is available he would be your absolute best option other than one of the expensive enclosed carriers like Reliable. He is honest, up front and reliable beyond reproach. I have no problem sending the car overseas either and will assist where I can having already sold cars to Germany, France, England, even Uruguay believe it or not! So lets remain friends and PLEASE do not bid if you are not prepared to pay and buy the car. If you were to be the high bidder but make some lame excuse like you bid drunk or by mistake I will be forced to employ any and all legal means to collect the winning bid. I cannot be swayed with excuses, real or imagined so lets do a good, clean uncomplicated transaction that sees the car paid for in three days as specified in the auction and you can keep it here as long as need be until it can be transported or you can come and get it yourself. Its well worth the asking price, I don't believe you will find a better one for any price. No wait, that makes no sense, pay more get more, that's the American way after all, right? This is however an excellent value and I don't believe you would regret the purchase at all. |

Porsche planning jacked-up 911 Safari? [w/poll]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013The Porsche 911 may, for some, be the quintessential sportscar. And that typically means keeping it on paved roads and racing circuits. But there's a proud history to taking the Elfen off-road that traces back to specially-prepared 911s (like the one pictured above) which Porsche fielded in rallies in the late '70s and early '80s. And now Porsche is reportedly preparing to tap back into that history with a new off-road 911 model, according to the Auto Bild Motor Revue.
Tipped to be called the 911 Safari, the special variant would be based on the Carrera 4 but upgrade with bigger tires fitted to a beefed-up suspension with higher ground clearance and underbody skid plates. The model is expected to be presented initially as a concept at the Beijing Motor Show next April. But if enough interest is expressed - particularly from buyers in developing markets where the roads might not be as smooth as those to which North American and European drivers have become accustomed - Stuttgart could put it into production in 2016, when the current 991 is expected to get a mid-cycle refresh.

Kia Telluride takes World Car of the Year honors
Wed, Apr 8 2020The Kia Telluride has been named 2020 World Car of the Year, an award that recognizes the most significant new-vehicle introduction as determined by an international jury of automotive journalist judges. The Telluride adds to its string of honors by beating out the Mazda CX-30 and the Mazda3, the previously announced finalists for the WCOTY award. The organization also announced the winners of additional awards: The Porsche Taycan was recognized as World Performance Car of the Year, beating out its siblings, the 911 and the 718 Boxster Spyder/Cayman GT4. The Taycan further took top honors as World Luxury Car of the Year, besting the 911 and the Mercedes-Benz EQC in that category. In a second win for Kia, the Kia Soul EV was named World Urban Car of the Year. The Soul beat out the Mini Cooper SE and the Volkswagen T-Cross. Finally, the Mazda3 was honored as World Car Design of the Year. The Kia Telluride follows last year's WCOTY, the Jaguar I-Pace. Previous honorees include the Volvo XC60 in 2018, the Jaguar F-Pace in 2017, and the Mazda MX-5 in 2016. The WCOTY team consists of 86 jurors from 24 countries, and the organization is independent and not tied to any publication. This is the 16 th year for the awards. Related Video: Â Â
Is the skill of rev matching being lost to computers?
Fri, Oct 9 2015If the ability to drive a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox is becoming a lost art, then the skill of being able to match revs on downshifts is the stuff they would teach at the automotive equivalent of the Shaolin Temple. The usefulness of rev matching in street driving is limited most of the time – aside from sounding cool and impressing your friends. But out on a race track or the occasional fast, windy road, its benefits are abundantly clear. While in motion, the engine speed and wheel speed of a vehicle with a manual transmission are kept in sync when the clutch is engaged (i.e. when the clutch pedal is not being pressed down). However, when changing gear, that mechanical link is severed briefly, and the synchronization between the motor and wheels is broken. When upshifting during acceleration, this isn't much of an issue, as there's typically not a huge disparity between engine speed and wheel speed as a car accelerates. Rev-matching downshifts is the stuff they would teach at the automotive equivalent of the Shaolin Temple. But when slowing down and downshifting – as you might do when approaching a corner at a high rate of speed – that gap of time caused by the disengagement of the clutch from the engine causes the revs to drop. Without bringing up the revs somehow to help the engine speed match the wheel speed in the gear you're about to use, you'll typically get a sudden jolt when re-engaging the clutch as physics brings everything back into sync. That jolt can be a big problem when you're moving along swiftly, causing instability or even a loss of traction, particularly in rear-wheel-drive cars. So the point of rev matching is to blip the throttle simultaneously as you downshift gears in order to bring the engine speed to a closer match with the wheel speed before you re-engage the clutch in that lower gear, in turn providing a much smoother downshift. When braking is thrown in, you get heel-toe downshifting, which involves some dexterity to use all three pedals at the same time with just two feet – clutch in, slow the car while revving, clutch out. However, even if you're aware of heel-toe technique and the basic elements of how to perform a rev match, perfecting it to the point of making it useful can be difficult.
