1986 Porsche 944
Rothmans Challenge Factory Cup Model ·
This is
1 of 31 factory Cup models specifically built for the 1986 Rothmans Challenge
– the first year of the Cup series
(first with 944s in the 80s then with 911s in the 90s) ·
The
Rothmans Challenge’s competitors include top Canadian drivers such as Kees
Nierop, Scott Goodyear, Ludwig Heimrath, Paul Tracy ·
Major
sponsors were Rothmans, Shell, Pirelli, Sunice ·
I
legally shipped it from Canada in 2009 as a body with engine, tranny partially
installed. The suspension was also
partially done as a roller. The car came
with spares and other mechanical bits ·
Restoration/build
was finished in 2010 by Fordahl Motorsports.
I have a three ring binder showing receipts and photos during the build o
The
headers are the rare Cup only spec that were used for the Rothmans series o
The
door panels are also original o
The
roll cage is the original with modified side impact protection for safety purposes o
In
other words, we took the effort to keep the car as original (Rothmans Challenge
Series) as possible ·
I have
the certificate of authenticity from Porsche (showing that it's a Cup model) as
well as VIN and DOT/EPA documentation from Porsche North America. I was
able to legally register this car for the street. It even passed smog in
WA. This is one of most recent street-registered historic race cars - something
typically reserved for pre-68 cars ·
Most
importantly, I have the CASC logbook and number plate tying its history in the
Canadian Rothmans Challenge with Matthewson (1986) and Walter Surma (1987).
It also raced in a few Firehawk Endurance races in 1988. There are
a few Rothmans cars out there, but without logbooks to verify its history.
I also have period photos during 86 Rothmans series ·
Since
restoration, it has been only raced one weekend per year including Portland
Rose Cup, SCCA vintage/ITS and Rennsport Reunion IV ·
Speaking
of RR IV, this is the only 944 historic race car accepted at the most recent
Rennsport Reunion in Laguna Seca. Great event to experience with all the
historic cars ·
A newly
rebuilt ITS-spec engine has recently been installed and is going through its
break-in period. No race or track miles
on the new engine. Engine was built by
Fordahl Motorsports. ·
The tranny
was newly built just prior to Rennsport Reunion IV. Spare tranny is also
rebuilt ·
Spare
parts: various wheels (including 7 Simmons wheels which is proper period spec
for the series, set of 7x16” Fuchs, set of 15” cookie cutter magnesium wheels
with one race-old Hoosier R6s), original transmission (freshly rebuilt) and
engine block, door, and various misc. pieces ·
The
wheels on the car as ran at RR are Simmons V5 wheels with 16” Hoosier R6s ·
The car
is currently in the Seattle area ·
Although
I have and still immensely enjoy this car after owning it for close to 6 years;
I recently purchased another race car in my bucket list. Hence, I’m selling the Rothmans. |

Despite premium carmakers going downmarket, luxury auto sales stick at 10-11%
Thu, 16 Jan 2014According to research conducted by global information company IHS Automotive, the leporine birthing of new models by luxury manufacturers over the past six years hasn't increased their market share in the US. Even as car sales reached 15.6 million units, IHS says what's happened instead is that luxury buyers are merely moving from one brand to another, moving from larger luxury vehicles into hot segments like compact luxury crossovers or leaving the market at the same rate as other buyers enter.
Whether broken out by makes or by segment, market share has rollercoastered inside a narrow band from 10.5 to 11.5 percent since "at least" 2008. Closer investigation reveals the shifting boundaries in the aspirational pond, with brands like Mercedes-Benz and Audi gaining territory as Lexus and Lincoln lost it, and Saab and Hummer were buried, dead, under it. One neat note is that Tesla has gone from a share of zip to .12 percent.
The subcompact and compact crossover segments show growth, with those little high-riders jumping from .3 percent to 1.16 percent of overall industry sales. Their rise, though, is concomitant with the decline of four other segments: compact and midsize cars and fullsize cars and SUVs. We think the next few years that will tell if the small-car expansion can overcome the large-car retraction, with a phalanx of smaller offerings like the CLA only recently hitting the market and others like the GLA, Macan and Q1 doing so in the near future.
Watch a Porsche 918 Spyder being built by hand
Sat, Jan 3 2015No music track, no dialogue, no voiceover, just a group of women and men in a very clean room in Zuffenhausen assembling the Porsche 918 Spyder. It's the antidote to the adrenaline that the open-topped hybrid coupe encourages in most enthusiast bloodstreams, but this nearly-11-minute video is the most captivating B-roll we've seen in a while. From hand-sewn leather to hand-wrapped trim, monococques being wheeled about, the copious use of shims and the rear brace being fitted over the engine, plus the Christmas-like joy of opening a box of body panels, it's all in there. You can't buy a new one anymore, but you can see how they're built for those who did buy them in the video above.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers
Sun, Oct 8 2017Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?
