I looked for a long time to find a well-maintained, undamaged, low mileage 944 s2 cabriolet, and if you've been looking, you know how hard they are to find. This is a stunning 46,675 mile car and is all original with no modifications. Guards red exterior with black leather, black top and near new tires on factory 16" s2 alloys. Car runs, drives, looks outstanding. –Exterior- Guards red finish is excellent. The surface is straight with no door dings and shines very well, as you'd expect of a garaged car (many clear coats of the day oxidized and became hazy; this paint looks fabulous). The rear tag panel had scratches when I purchased the car and I had it professionally matched and painted, along with the small, always faded plastic rear fender caps. The paint in the door jambs, under the hood, and other "non-viewed" places still looks excellent. The doors, hood and trunk shut with authority and all gaps are uniform and proper. –Interior- The black interior is in outstanding condition, noting the miles and care given the car. The door panels are uncut and pristine, as is the carpet. The dash has no cracks, nor does the console. The rear seats appear as new. The switchgear works great. Air conditioning blows cold; power seats, windows, mirrors, locks and cruise all work as designed. This 944 even has heated seats! There are no faults known regarding the operation of this car's electronics, even the clock works! Also, the car has it's original am/fm cassette palyer, along with the optional amp and equalizer. The original, unused inflatable spare is present, as is the porsche air pump and all original trunk accessories (tools, plastic gloves, etc). –Engine, Drivetrain- The car starts with the first twist of the key, settles into an easy idle, and holds excellent pressure. It pulls strong and shifts crisply, without the sloppiness of higher mile cars. This car is steady and stable at any speed. Steering and clutch feel fantastic with no shudder; it brakes with no pulling or fading. Honestly, the car drives just like you'd hope a low mileage well-maintained porsche would. Additionally, a full belt service(timing, etc.), along with water pump replacement, was performed within the last 350 miles. –Overall- This 944 is super reliable, fast enough for most any street driver, capable, plus get fantastic fuel economy. The tops seal as well as a coupe, and these cars are handlers. I've owned lots of sports cars, but the s2 is a league ahead in confident, no drama performance and handling. This car is as nice an example as i have seen; I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere, has ample trunk space, and is serviced for road worthiness. Fly in and drive it home!....best wishes in your bidding. |

Porsche announces plan to replace 911 GT3 engines
Wed, 19 Mar 2014About a month back, we reported that Porsche was suspending delivery of its 911 GT3 due to reported incidents of the engine bursting into flames. A few days later, Porsche told owners of the new track-ready models not to drive their cars and had their local dealers pick up the cars in question. Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Porsche was working on a fix, and now we have the official details.
Following an internal investigation prompted by two such incidents, Porsche has confirmed that is has identified the problem as resulting "from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod." The loose connecting rod, Porsche found, damaged the crankcase, which in turn resulted in oil leaking and then - in at least two cases - igniting.
Our source is unaware of Porsche being contacted by GT3 owners concerned about the impact of a replacement engine on their car's collectibility or resale value.
VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.

Porsche finally moving ahead with flat four engine
Sun, 23 Mar 2014When Porsche released the first Boxster in 1996 and the first Cayman in 2005, the idea was to create an entry-level model for the German automaker's sports car range. The latest iterations of both closely related models, however, have begun to encroach dangerously on the 911's territory, particularly in their newest GTS specifications. That could be about to change, however, with the introduction of a four-cylinder engine for the compact mid-engined coupe and roadster.
According to Automotive News, Porsche is finally preparing to launch a new boxer four engine in the Boxster and Cayman, following years of speculation. The engine would be based on the same architecture as the company's famous flat six, but with two fewer cylinders to cut weight. Don't expect it to cut much in the way of performance, however: Porsche chief Matthias Muller indicates that the new engine could produce as much as 395 horsepower - significantly more than even the 340hp flat six in the Cayman GTS, suggesting that the engine could even find its way into the 911 as well.
It's no more clear which markets would get the four-cylinder engine, either. But wherever it is offered and in whichever form, it wouldn't be the first time we'd see a Porsche with a four-pot engine. Not by a long shot. Both the classic 912 and 356 were powered by boxer fours, as was the 914 - not to mention the 718 pictured above and the iconic 550 Spyder. The front-engined 924, 944 and 968 packed inline-four engines, but the last of those were discontinued in the 1990s. The prospect of a four-cylinder Boxster/Cayman has been rumored for many years now, most recently joined by the possibility of a four-pot Macan as well.
