1976 Porsche Euro Turbo Carrera on 2040-cars
Butler, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1976 Euro Porsche Turbo Carrera . This is the first official production year for the turbocharged 911, and is the most sought after. This is a project car, and will need a restoration but it is a very complete, solid running early 3.0 non intercooled turbo. This is the real deal.
The car has not been on the road in several years now. It does still run, and drive but will need an engine overhaul due to several broken head studs. This is how we acquired the car. It starts fairly easily, has normal oil pressure, normal amount of smoke at startup, and no unusual noises. I have not driven it in years, but I remember it running fairly strong, and pulling hard under boost. The transmission engages all gears. but I remember it needing some synchro work going into 3rd. The body is 99% rust free, there is a small spot on the drivers door sill, a very small bubble by the lower left windshield area, and a small bubble on one of the doors, other than that, very clean. See pictures. The paint shows well, but needs some attention .There is some shrinkage in a few areas, this is also shown in the pictures. The interior is complete and decent, but shows wear as you would expect on a 38 year old car . The car still retains its original drivetrain, and is sitting on its original 15x8 & 15X7 fuchs wheels, which are n nice shape. The tires are very old, and need replaced. It still retains its original aluminum calipers . There is minor body damage to the rear reflector, and the panel behind it, again , very minor. The one euro bumperette is broken off, but included (needs stud repair) . This car has the super rare and desire able euro back up light, and bumper trim with reflectors in it. The window trim is the brushed metal finish, which I believe is the rarest, and very nice looking on this car. All the glass is original , and in good shape. The only missing/incorrect items that I know of are : The car has a tea tray turbo tail of the later cars, and not the correct early turbo tail, and the original plastic air cleaner housing is missing. I will include a metal air cleaner housing from a later turbo. This is a rare chance to own one of the most sought after Porsche cars out there right now. The first official production year for the 911 turbo, and icon. There were less than 600 of these cars produced, and who knows how many are left. |

Porsche rules out Macan, 911 hybrids
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Believe it or not, between the 918 Spyder, the Cayenne and the Panamera, Porsche offers more plug-in hybrid models than any other brand. Yes, Porsche. But don't expect that trend to continue. At least, not in the immediate future.
According to Top Gear, the E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera is too big to fit into the smaller Macan. A future hybrid system could be small enough to fit, but with the current technology still fresh, that'd still be some ways down the twisting road.
It stands to reason, then, that if the system wouldn't fit in the Macan, it wouldn't fit in the Boxster or Cayman, either. But what of the 911? Surely Porsche would like to stick it to BMW and its new i8, and proved it could do a hybrid 911 when it rolled the GT3 R Hybrid (pictured) out onto the race track over four years ago. But Zuffenhausen is reportedly in no rush to put that idea into production - not for the current 911 and not for the next one, either.
Porsche planning new 911 Speedster as 550 tribute
Tue, 12 Nov 2013Some look at the emergence of a new Porsche 911 and see a car. But to Porsche engineers, it might as well be a reset button. Because every time a new 911 comes out, it sets off a tidal wave of new variants to follow, including convertibles, turbos, targas, GT3s... the works.
The next down the pipeline, though, could be one of the most desirable. That, according to German publication Auto Bild, will be a new 911 Speedster. When it arrives early in 2015, the special roadster will reportedly be limited to just 550 examples in tribute to the original 550 Spyder.
It'll reportedly have hidden door handles, a chopped-down windshield and a fabric top to be used only in case of emergency, manually disappearing below a carbon-fiber cowling. All of which makes it sounds as much like a bigger version of the Boxster Spyder as a successor to the last 911 Speedster (pictured above), and that's no bad thing at all.
Evo sets up duel of Porsche 911s
Thu, 20 Mar 2014What's better, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? That question has occupied auto enthusiasts for years, and so far, we've not really had a solid answer one way or the other. Evo has opted to take another whack at this tough question by pairing a pair of Porsche 911s against each other for a track battle.
In one corner, we have the two-wheel-drive 911 Carrera S, complete with the lickity-split PDK transmission, a sports suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. In the other corner, it's the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4S in a much mellower spec, with a seven-speed manual, as well as standard brakes and suspension. While the results seem like they'd be a foregone conclusion, some very British weather is there to act as the great equalizer.
We've got the full video down below. Have a look, and let us know if you agree with Evo's results.
