1987 Porsche 924S
Bought new In Dallas in 1987 and has been a Texas car from Day 1... Short history: Was a 1 owner from new until about 2009...Then it was sold to a local gentleman who parked it. I bough the car from him a few months ago. The "Poor man's Porsche"...The 924S, with the same 2.5L engine as the 944! I don't know how many people have asked me if I "Autocross" in my Porsche...From my reserach the 924S is highly sought out for autocross racing, it's handling and gearing is legend for that type of competition. GOOD: FU FU FUN TO DRIVE! ALL ORIGINAL, the only custom touches are the K&N filter and the speaker covers. Original "Phone dial" wheels! Handles like a dream...shifts sweet through all 5 gears and keeps climbing. Driving the 924 is great...the 924S is super great. 80s icon. I've been driving the car regularly for about 3 months now and have had no problems and have been amazed by the handling and mileage of this 87 model! BAD: The rear hatch seal is old and has some spots where water will leak. Motor mounts are the original ones and will need replacing soon. The rear hatch vinyl cover, that covers belonging in the rear hatch area, is inoperable...It operates much like a window blind. I have the shade/cover, it is just not installed now. The tires has a bit of weather cracking. There are the normal amount of rock chip spots on the front for an '87 model...easily covered up. Since I bought the car, I've: Replaced rear brakes. Flushed and replaced brake fluid. Charged AC compressor. Had timing belt checked and adjusted (passed) Had wear torn front 2 seats repaired with new vinyl/foam/stictching. Replaced front 2 speakers (have rear 2 speakers but they are not installed yet...they come with the car) Replaced shocks/hinges on hatch. Replaced shock/hinges on hood. Replaced all exterior lightbulbs. Had interior carpet/seats/dash detailed. Still have plans to install the rear speakers and tint the windows. The car is listed locally and I may end this auction if it sells. |

Porsche bringing Macan S Diesel to US instead of 4-cylinder [w/poll]
Mon, 16 Dec 2013When Porsche unveiled the new Macan at the LA Auto Show, it announced two powerplants for the US market, both of them twin-turbo V6s: the Macan S equipped with 340 horsepower from its 3.0-liter engine, and the Macan Turbo with 400 horses from 3.6 liters. But those aren't the only engines Porsche will offer in its new compact crossover. Porsche is also offering the Macan S Diesel overseas with 258 hp, and reports have since indicated that a pair of four-cylinder models on their way: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 hp and four-pot turbodiesel of the same capacity with an as-yet undisclosed output.
Now Car and Driver is reporting that while those four-cylinder engines won't be making the transatlantic voyage to our shores, Porsche will offer the aforementioned Macan S Diesel in North America beginning in early 2015, nearly a year after the gas V6 versions arrive.
The 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 is based on the same engine found in the Cayenne Diesel and the Audi Q5 TDI on which the Macan is based. Of course, its 248 hp is substantially less than the 340 ponies in the Macan S, but its 413 pound-feet of torque outshines not only the 339 lb-ft in the Macan S but also the 406 lb-ft in the Macan Turbo. Acceleration times, however, suggest the Macan S Diesel is still slower, with a 6.3-second run to 62 mph than neither the Macan S (5.4 sec) or Macan Turbo (4.8). The good news is that the Macan S Diesel is tipped to undercut the price of both, dropping the oil-burning crossover's MSRP below that of the $49,900 starting price for the Macan S and the $49,600 for the base Cayenne. If that C/D prediction comes to pass, that will make it the Macan S Diesel most affordable Porsche sold.
Porsche Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim
Sat, 18 Jan 2014A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
Porsche digitally dissects its 918 Spyder for your viewing pleasure
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At this point, you'd think we'd know all there is to know about the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - except what it's like to drive - but Porsche has released a new video giving us a more in-depth look at its new plug-in hypercar all the same. The animated video gives us numerous cutaway looks at the 918 Spyder while giving a visual demonstration of the car's four hybrid driving modes.
Though nowhere near as exciting as watching the 918 blast around the Nürburgring in record time, this new video is nonetheless both interesting and informative. Scroll down to watch the video yourself, and be sure to check out our live gallery of the production version of the car along with a stock gallery.
