Porsche: 911 4s on 2040-cars
Norton, Massachusetts, United States
The 997 4s really is a fantastic every day sports car with blistering, but usable performance, that is delivered through a raw and emotional driving experience. This is especially true when compared to the newer 991 that heralded the introduction of aids like PASM, electric steering, and, more recently turbos across the entire line. This carefully maintained example tops that off with upgrades that take that feeling to the next level. The 3.8L M97 howls at upper RPMs through the awesome sounding Speedtech exhaust that has to be heard. Its perfect - not too loud and not too quiet, zero drone, and presents the perfect balance between harmonic pitch and depth. This engine has fantastic character that subsequent DFI engines cant match. The combination of the OEM short-shift kit and the Numeric shift linkage cables have also resulted in rifle-bolt gear changes that slide into gear with a fantastic click. A complete list of upgrades includes:OEM 997 Short Shift kitOEM 997 GT3 RS Rear BumperOEM 997 Turbo wing with top blade delete (original wing available)OEM 997 Brake Light delete panel (with use of the Turbo wing brake light, original available)OEM lighted Carrera 4s door sillsOEM clear side markersOEM Spare tire kit and tools in the trunkOEM 997 Turbo shifter knobOEM Factory painted dashboard trim, door handles, door pull and shifter trimHeated seatsNumeric aluminum shifter cablesHRE P40SC - 19 with Michelin PS2 in stock sizes (2,000 miles on this package)BBS 18 winter wheels and Michelin Alpin tires (spacers included with sale)Titanium lug boltsSpeedtech center exit exhaust with 200 cell cats with matte carbon fiber tips (original exhaust parts front lipExtended leather door sills, center console, coin tray, and shifter trimDenison bluetooth music streaming and phone call Breakdown: The car needs nothing and has been maintained with an open checkbook. Any service and repair work was done as needed but other than the shifter cables (common 997 problem), the water pump (replaced as the pulley was looking tired), and the door locks (mechanism wouldnt lower the windows on one side but we decided to change both in case the other was going to go as well), the car has just needed regular 5k mile oil and filter changes. The only thing I havent tracked down is that the PCM will flicker or shut off for 10 mins or so about 2-3 times a year. As it comes back on pretty quickly, it hasnt bothered me too much. Otherwise, I am pretty obsessive about my cars so this 997 has received constant attention. Rear brakes are at around 15% so thats the next maintenance item. Notable maintenance history includes:Purchased at Porsche Springfield, MAAlways serviced at Porsche Westwood, MAAll maintenance records availableDoor locks and window mechanisms replaced at 55,000Water pump replaced at 57,00060,000 mile service completed in March 2016 including spark plug flushed and seals replaced at 61,000All records, books, and keys are available. Cosmetic Breakdown: The car is as close to perfect as you will find for a 997. The interior buttons and switches all work as they should with no visible discoloration common with this vintage. The windshield took a pebble that created a little nick in the glass 3 years ago. That pebble also left a 1-inch scratch on the front roof but its not very noticeable. Otherwise, the car has gotten regular details and washes and the paint shines very well. If you are looking for a 997, the car Total 911 magazine said is the best 911 generation ever with namesakes like the revered GT2 RS, GTS, or Speedster, this is one to seriously consider.

eBay Find of the Day: Your choice of new, unregistered mid-2000s supercars
Wed, 26 Dec 2012If you didn't quite find what you were hoping to see under the tree this year, maybe it's about time you buy yourself something nice. Something like an unregistered 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. The car has never been titled and has just 83 miles on the odometer. With one owner since new, the Carrera GT is likely to be as nice an example as you're likely to find outside of a museum. Porsche only built 340 of these machines back in 2005, and with a 610 horsepower V10 kicking at your spine, you can lap Santa's sleigh next year. Currently, the Carrera GT has a buy it now price of $457,325 with around six days left on the auction.
Not flashy enough for your tastes? Stroll on down to West Hollywood and you'll find a similarly untitled 2004 Ferrari Enzo up for grabs with a sticker of $1.8 million. Technically a Euro-spec car, the Enzo isn't legal to operate on US roads, but could be modified to satisfy Uncle Sam with a little effort. The seller calls this car the "last brand-new Enzo in existence" and with 175 miles on the clock, that may be a true statement. You can head over to eBay Motors for a closer look if you're feeling spendy.
Porsche 918 Spyder already almost sold out?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Still planning on getting your hands on a Porsche 918 Spyder? You'd better act quickly, because word has it that the hybrid hypercar is nearly sold out.
While Porsche has reportedly only delivered a little over 30 of the 918 examples of the Spyder it plans to manufacture in total, Automotive News says that production is sold out through late March or early April - just a few months shy of when production is set to wrap in July.
That's pretty impressive for a car with a base price of almost $850,000, especially one requiring a $200,000 deposit just to get your name on the list. Still, that sum is significantly less than its competitors get for the McLaren P1 or LaFerrari, both of which sell for over a million (if you can actually get on one at that price), though in fairness, production of each is limited to less than half of the 918 Spyder.
2015 Porsche Cayenne spotted with facelift
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Although it's only been a few years since the current Porsche Cayenne was introduced, Porsche seems to be working on a midcycle update for its big SUV possibly in time to welcome the smaller Macan. As seen in these recent spy shots, it looks like the Cayenne will be getting a minor face- and butt-lift, but it's hard to say what other changes are in store or when the updated model will hit showrooms.
Up front, expect the Cayenne's new face to resemble what was just revealed on the 2014 Panamera, and we could also see this SUV using some of the new engines introduced on the Panamera including the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 or maybe even the E-Hybrid model. We're guessing that the new Cayenne could debut sometime next year likely for the 2015 model year. In the meantime, check out the gallery of spy shots above.
