1976 Porsche 912e (time capsule edition)
This is a very rare one-owner car with 158k miles. 99% original, including a circa 1975 “FuzzBuster” radar detector, Porsche designs driving glasses and driving gloves. Car has a very rare color combo of Talbot Yellow (code 106) with red leather interior – only 10 of these were made! I have never seen another Porsche with this color. The owner also special ordered this car with rare and expensive “Sport Seats”. They have been redone at some point and need to be recovered back to factory leather. This is a nice driver quality 912e that has been looked after. I purchased it from the 85 year old original owner who gave up driving it many years ago. It has been parked in his garage with a cover on it for a couple of decades. He or a family member started and regularly drove the car every month. He kept its registration and insurance current (I have all the documents going back 25 + years) This 912e was a daily driver from April of 1976 to around 1984. In that time the owner put approx 80k miles on the car. The car was then regulated to backup car and then 3rd car. I bought the car in a three car package and need to liquidate these two. The car is in driver quality shape. Many nicks and chips in the paint and the seats need to be redone. No dings or dents but the car could use a repaint. Car starts, runs and rides well for its age. Floors are perfect and is under the hood (no rust) Clean Nevada title in hand (you will be the second registered owner) As a nice bonus he passed onto me a few nice period accoutrements: 1. Original window sticker! 2. Owner’s manual 3. Manual for the original radio 4. All reg. cards for many, many years 5. Jack and un-used spare tire 6. 1975 circa “FuzzBuster” radar detector 7. Porsche designs driving glasses 8. Circa 1980’s driving gloves It’s an original, nice running 912 that will continue to increase in value in this crazy market with a very unique and rare color combo.

Porsche goes Platinum with special edition Cayenne
Thu, 05 Dec 2013The other day, Porsche announced a new special edition of the Cayenne. We didn't pay it much heed because it appeared to be exclusive to Europe (or, at least, markets other than ours), but now Porsche has announced its availability in North America, as well.
It's called the Platinum Edition, and it's available exclusively on the entry-level models with either the 3.6-liter V6 or 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. You can tell the special edition apart from any other Cayenne by the silver details (accenting the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler) and its two-tone black and beige leather interior. But what makes it a compelling choice is the long list of equipment, which Porsche has identified as the most requested options and fitted them as standard, including the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, Convenience Package and Bose audio.
Pricing starts at $63,300 for the Cayenne Platinum Edition, or $66,900 for the Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition. That represents a premium of approximately $13,000 over a bone-stock model, but actually saves you a few grand if you were going to select all those options anyway. Check out the press release below for all the details.
Watch the incredibly complicated operation of Porsche's new targa roof
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Despite Porsche having claimed the name, targa tops are nothing new. In addition to the semi-roofless version of the 911, plenty of cars in the past have used removable roof panels - the new Corvette Stingray has one (as have prior generations), and this type of open-air experience has been available on past vehicles like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Honda Civic del Sol.
But when Porsche took the top off its brand new 911 Targa here at the Detroit Auto Show, it was indeed cause for pause. Simply put, this is one of the most complicated and intricate electronic roof panel removal techniques we've ever seen, save perhaps, for the setup found on the Japanese-market Civic del Sol from the 1990s.
We won't spoil the video for you, but basically, rather than just the roof panel coming off, the entire rear glass area lifts away the body in order for the small section over the passenger compartment to slide back. This has to be incredibly expensive to repair once it inevitably breaks. And we highly doubt you'll be able to operate this mechanism at any speed.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S named Motor Trend Best Driver's Car [w/video]
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Motor Trend has named the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S its best driver's car for 2013. The annual
competition for the title included some of the best performance cars that have gone on sale in the past year. The new C4S follows the 2012 Best Driver's Car award winner, a two-wheel-drive Carrera S.
Determining the winner of the coveted title isn't easy. Each vehicle is pushed through Motor Trend's normal battery of instrumented tests. Editors then spend time with each car over a 500-mile tour of mixed conditions before a final batch of testing at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, with pro racer Randy Pobst at the wheel.
