1987 Porsche 930 on 2040-cars
Boulder, Montana, United States
More details at: clare.rohe@mail-on.us .
Up for sale is a beautiful 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo (a.k.a. 930 Turbo).
The interior is stock and well-kept, with little wear-and-tear for its age. The Guards' Red exterior paint
is in excellent condition with only minor flaws from ordinary road use. The car has been garage-kept and tended in
a heated garage. It comes with OEM Fuchs wheels in the original black with machined rims.
The engine has been completely restored by Rothsport, Inc., including a full tear-down and rebuild. Approximate
engine output is 325 horsepower. The stock 4-speed Porsche gearbox was retained. The car's suspension was
completely rebuilt and replaced for competition use, including a 1-inch drop and high-performance shock absorbers
and springs. The exhaust has been replaced by a custom titanium dual-outlet system by B&B Exhaust.
The 930 Turbo was a tour-de-force when it was released, and the Turbo name has consistently been applied only to
the highest-performing variants of the 911 ever since. While later models eventually softened and became more akin
to grand tourers, the original 930 was a knife-edged competition machine -- lightweight, powerful, and terrifyingly
fast. Armed with engine, suspension, and braking technology from Porsche's most competitive and world-beating
prototype race cars, the 930 set the standard for sports cars around the world.
The 911 of the late 1980s represents a sort of purity of purpose for the sporting car enthusiast, a perfect balance
of raw prowess and refinement, and as such is extremely desirable. This 911 Turbo is the ultimate example of the
breed, an incredible specimen of a car that is sure to only become more valuable as they become more rare over
time.

Porsche becomes first company to rent out Vatican's Sistine Chapel
Fri, 17 Oct 2014We wouldn't go so far as to say God is a Porsche fan, but those in charge of one of the holiest Christian spots on our little blue marble are welcoming the German automaker into one of the religion's most revered and beautiful settings - the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. In so doing, Porsche will reportedly become the first company to rent out the holy hall for a corporate function.
Now, it's not like Pope Francis has signed off on Porsche doing do donuts in a 911 underneath Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. Instead, the Vatican has rented out the home of the Papal Conclave to the Porsche Travel Club, which will host a classical music concert. The Travel Club organizes events and tours across Europe for Porsche enthusiasts, with the Vatican concert just one part of a tour of Rome.
According to Automotive News Europe, Porsche will sell 40 tickets - at 5,000 euros each ($6,379) - to the event, while the Vatican has confirmed that the Pope will not be in attendance.
McQueen's Porsche 917 from Le Mans races to the auction block
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Steve McQueen may have been the headline actor of the motorsport cult classic film Le Mans, but we all know who the real star was. Or rather, what: the Porsche 917. More specifically, it was the Gulf-liveried #22 - not McQueen's #21 - that won the race, making it one of the most iconic cars ever to drive across the silver screen. And now it's going up for auction.
This 1969 Porsche 917K, chassis 917-024, has a storied history both on and off the screen, even if it didn't win any (off-screen) races of note. This example was the first 917 to be campaigned in an actual race when Porsche handed it to Jo Siffert to drive against the Ferrari 312P and Ford GT40 at the Spa-Francorchamps 1000 Km race in 1969. Siffert found the early example too unstable and ultimately drove an earlier 908 to the checkered flag, but after 917-024 set the fastest time at the following year's Le Mans test day, Siffert acquired it outright.
The Swiss racing driver loaned the car to Solar Productions for use in the film, after which it returned to Siffert's collection until he was killed in an F1 exposition race at Brands Hatch in 1971. In a testament to how much he loved the car, it was 917-024 that lead the funeral procession. The car subsequently fell off the radar until it resurfaced in 2001 as one of the greatest barn finds of the new millennium. Now fully restored and resplendent in its original baby blue and orange, 917-024 is headed to the auction block at Pebble Beach where you can be sure that Gooding & Company will bring in a suitably high price for arguably the most iconic example of one of the most iconic Porsches of all time.
Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.
