997 Carrera 4s Cabriolet. Widebody, C4s, California Car From New, 35,000 Miles on 2040-cars
Emeryville, California, United States
2008 Porsche 997 Carrera 4S Cabriolet
Introduced for the 2005 model year, the 997 generation of the Porsche 911 addressed many of the complaints about the 996 generation before it. Having almost gone out of business in the early 1990s, Porsche embarked on an aggressive program to reduce the cost of building cars by enhancing the efficiency of the manufacturing process and by designing cars that were themselves less costly to produce. The 996 emerged from this new type of thinking, and together with the Boxster, reversed the company’s decline and laid the groundwork for the success the company now enjoys. Critics complained that while the 996 drove well, the quality and aesthetics had suffered, and the 997 brought both higher quality and exceptional good looks back to the forefront of the Porsche 911 value proposition. The cars were available in dozens of forms, with the S models gaining a 3.8 liter 380hp powerplant in place of the 3.6 liter 355hp of the standard car, as well as wider fender flares on the 4 wheel drive variants. This car is a Carrera 4S Cabriolet, which means it is equipped with the 3.8 liter 380hp engine, as well as the wider flares of the Carrera 4. It was originally sold in California and has covered about 35,000 miles from new. It is equipped with 6-speed manual transmission and was optioned with navigation, color wheel crests, and Sport Chrono. The car also has an iPod hardwire cable in the glove box. The car is complete with extensive books set, tools, compressor, and wind deflector. The car went to the Porsche dealer (Sonnen) in November of 2013 to get a check over and repair any issues under warranty that were needed. The tire pressure monitoring system sensors were replaced and a few other items addressed. The car was also thoroughly inspected and found to be in great shape overall. The car is in very nice condition, with only light wear to the paint from regular road use. There are minor chips to the paint on the front bumper and deck lid, but no other significant wear to report. The wheels are in good shape, with minor curb marks on the rear wheels, but none present on the front wheels. The trim is in good shape and the panels are straight. The glass and lights are in very good shape as well. The interior is in good condition other than some wear to the leather on the driver’s seat bolster and the hand brake handle. There are some burn marks on the passenger’s seat. The carpets are excellent, as is the dashboard and the accompanying switches and controls. The engine compartment and trunk are in excellent shape, with no modifications and complete original equipment including DVD navigation, tools, books, compressor, wind deflector, and bag for the wind deflector. This is a low mileage widebody Carrera 4 Cabriolet in very nice condition. It is a California car from new and is a great driving and quick car that can be driven daily in all kinds of weather. The car is very complete with books, tools, and compressor. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: This car is sold AS IS without warranty. A 10% deposit is due upon the successful completion of the auction.

Shanghai debuts, Jeep's new Rubicon anniversary rigs | Autoblog Podcast # 777
Fri, Apr 21 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a recap of the past week's worldwide debuts along with some updates from their recent adventures. They start off discussing the rumors of a new Ford Mustang Raptor and what that means in the context of previous rumors of a Corvette SUV. Then it's time to talk Shanghai, where Polestar, Buick, Volkswagen, Porsche and Lincoln all had big reveals. After that, they segue to Byron's trip to Moab for the 2023 Easter Jeep Safari preview where he drove the AEV Level II Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 20th Anniversary Edition. From there, they reminisce about Mustangs in a nod to the nameplate's 59th anniversary, after which they stick to the theme with a sub-$15,000 RWD used-car discussion. Is there anything worth buying in this price bracket in today's economy?

Porsche 911 RSR stops just long enough to have its photo taken
Tue, 04 Mar 2014When it comes to Porsche and its rapidly escalating endurance racing program, all eyes may be on the new 919 Hybrid - and with good reason: that's the vehicle with which Porsche will be challenging the likes of Audi and Toyota for wins in the top-tier LMP1 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship and at Le Mans. But it's the 911 RSR that does and will continue to form the backbone of the factory's effort.
The 470-horsepower racing version of the road-going 911 took a one-two finish in its class at Le Mans last year, and also won its class at the Daytona 24 this past January as well. This year Porsche will field two of them in the WEC, another two in the United SportsCar Championship here in the US and will sell countless more to customer racing teams that will undoubtedly continue to rack up trophies in racing series around the world. This, then, might be a unique chance to see one standing still. Check it out in our gallery of live images above from the Geneva Motor Show.
Chris Harris hits the track with the Porsche Cayman GT4
Wed, Mar 11 2015The Porsche Cayman GT4 offers the first legitimate chance for Porsche's more compact coupe to really step out of the long shadow of its brother the 911. By placing the 385-horsepower Carrera S engine into the center of a Cayman and sweetening the package with a ton of truly high performance parts, the model can now really show off. The ever-enthusiastic Chris Harris puts on quite a display behind the wheel of the German brand's latest hardcore creation. As is his wont, Harris slides the GT4 all over the Portimao circuit with little wisps of smoke wafting up from its rear Michelin tires. However, what he gets really excited about is Porsche's decision to fit a real manual gearbox, rather than the PDKs rapidly taking over the company's highest performance vehicles. For anyone who loves seeing a sports car's oily bits, stay tuned all the way through because after hooning around for awhile, Harris puts the model up on a lift to find out what's so special. Porsche touts the GT4's 911 GT3-derivied front suspension, but this really shows just how many mechanical adjustments it offers the demanding driver. Related Video:
