1991 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet: To Restore Or Part on 2040-cars
Sudbury, Massachusetts, United States
Unfortunately my very well sorted 1991 Black/Linen 944 S2 was
involved in a building collapse last week about an hour's north of New York
City. Not having the time to deal with it I have decided to sell. As per the
highly regarded body shop in which it is stored in New Windsor, NY, all the damage is cosmetic.
The car is a fairly easy fix or probably worth even more parted, given the
condition of the vehicle prior to the accident. No insurance claim so title will be delivered with no accident history. Here's the best description I
can give. I am not interested in parting the car out myself. In 1989 the 944S2 was introduced, powered by a 211 PS (155 kW;
208 hp) normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0L version of the
944Sengine. With a bore of 104 mm (4.1 in) and a stroke of 88 mm
(3.5 in), it was the largest production 4-cylinder engine of its
time. The 944S2 also received a revised transmission and gearing to better
suit the 3.0-liter M44/41 powerplant. The 944S2 had the same rounded nose and a
rear valance found on the Turbo model. This was the first example of the use of
an integrated front bumper, where the fender and hood profiles would merge
smoothly with the bumper, a design feature that has only now seen widespread
adoption on the 1990 onward production cars. Performance was quoted as
0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds (0–100 km/h 6.8 s), with a top speed of
240 km/h (150 mph) via manual transmission. A Club Sport touring
package (M637) was also available. On Mar-09-14 at 19:04:19 PDT, seller added the following information: The correct model year is 2000 (not 2001). Once the auction started I was not able to correct the title listing. Also the car has just over 100,000 miles now. Also, for those interested repairing the car, the shop's estimate for labor (body) was $2,2,00 (@37 hours). I have no affiliation of this body shop; it was recommended to me by the local and well respected independent Porsche tech (Advanced Automotive of New Windsor, NY). |

Porsche calls in The Committee for Boxster and Cayman GTS
Thu, 20 Mar 2014Porsche is set to offer up the very first GTS variants of its more affordable Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes. This is very good news for enthusiasts. Aside from our original post announcing the hotted up models, though, Porsche hasn't given us much to go on.
And you know what? This video isn't much of help either. It's called The Committee, and we're guessing it's meant to highlight the lengths that Porsche went to in designing what are essentially sportier trim levels for its two most affordable entries. Still, it's a stylized and entertaining video with a few entertaining driving scenes scattered throughout, and it gives just a small glimpse of Porsche's view of the vaunted GTS badge.
Take a look below for the full video.
Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.
