You are bidding on a very nice and well kept, 2 owner 1995 Porsche 993 Carrera C2 sunroof coupe with just 88,4xx miles. This 911 has obviously been garaged and cared for, It’s the last of the classic air cooled 911’s and a very fast fun car – it’s a blast to drive. I purchased the car when it was 6-8 months old from a Porsche Dealership. I had the car lowered 2.5 inches and a suspension brace fitted across the front towers, and Porsche Aero Kit rocker panels were painted and added along with a Motronics chip and K&N filter at the time of purchase. The car was used only in summers and has been in storage for a couple of years. It runs great, but has an oil leak from the valve covers (a common 993 issue) and needs some TLC to bring it back to tip top condition. Regular oil changes and services throughout the time I have owned it. It needs new floor mats, a good interior clean and detailing – it’s really been incredible and I am sorry to see it go. I will be moving with my job and it can’t go with me, and my two sons are too big to fit in the back of the car anymore! As a 20 year old car, it is in outstanding condition. There is one door ding which I have tried to show in the picture and a couple of parking lot scars here and there. If you have questions ask – all sales are final as is where is. I reserve the right to finish the auction early as I am advertising it through other channels also. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping costs, $2500 non refundable deposit at time of auction close and final payment and shipping within 4 days of auction - NO EXCEPTIONS. I am an honest e-bayer - you should be also - if you don't have the money don't bid! |

Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
Porsche unlocks secrets of its mid-engine 911
Fri, 23 May 2014Porsche is beginning to realize that it's sitting on a goldmine of automotive history with its secret vault full of rare cars. Autoblog toured it a few months ago, and we were amazed at all of the curiosities hidden inside. Now, it's starting to let more folks in thanks to a new series of YouTube videos. The first covered the 965 prototype that shoved a water-cooled, Audi V8 into one of its cars. Next up, a mid-engine 911 that acted as the powertrain test mule for the Boxster.
The Porsche 911 is inextricably linked to its rear-engine layout. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, at the time Porsche was developing the Boxster, the company didn't want to lay all of its cards out of the table during testing. As opposed to using camouflage, it put a whole different car on top. The prototype looked just like any other 911 Targa of the day, but the biggest giveaway that something was amiss was the heavily tinted rear window. By obscuring it, inquisitive journalists couldn't peak at the new engine that replaced the backseat.
It might not look like anything too important on the outside, but this is a major piece of Porsche Boxster history underneath. Scroll down to watch the video about this fascinating prototype.
