This has to be the best and most original unmolested Porsche 968 cabriolet in existence today. It’s a one careful owner gem.

It has only 14,560 miles showing. These vehicle were hand-built and this car has been kept in a climate controlled atmosphere all of its life, only being sparingly used on weekends and holidays by its Commercial Pilot Owner. This is the perfect classic Porsche for the discriminating collector who desires the best in the country.

With a perfect weight distribution (50/50), six speed manual transmission, large bore 3.0 liter engine, this 968 cabriolet is marvelous to drive, and of course it has the legendary Porsche reliability.

Having never seen inclement weather this beautiful red over black leather roadster looks brand new.  You'll be hard pressed to find any physical signs of wear as there has never been a scratch or dent requiring paint work over its 20 year life. The paintwork just received the attention of our detail shop and $700 later (Yes I know, but they are the best) it looks like it should be in a new car showroom.

The interior shows no wear. The A/C blows powerfully cold. There are no chips or scratches in the glass. The rear window plastic and stitching look perfect and it gleams with no imperfections to the finish. The doors, hood and trunk lid align perfectly and close with the Porsche  "thunk". The rims have no scratches and the Tires are 500 miles old. The head light glass, turn signal covers, rear tail light covers and tiny bumperettes (front and rear) are perfect. Every electrical and mechanical component works as it did when it rolled out of the Porsche factory at Zuffenhausen, Germany in 1992.

Hennessey Porsche of Atlanta just serviced the Cambelt and secondary Belt,  (The second change it has had) so there is nothing to worry about mechanically. All fluids, Brake, Coolant, Oil etc have been changed last week.

It even comes with the factory supplied gloves in the engine bay compartment.

Included are 3 keys, original books, tools, air pump and extensive service receipt history. The vehicle obviously has a clean Carfax report and a copy of that will accompany the car.

In the 10 years we have been searching for an unmolested 968 convertible, this is the finest example we have ever seen. If you are a classic Porsche enthusiast looking for that special vehicle whose condition is considered "right out of the wrapper", this is your vehicle.

Only 2300 of these special 968 cabriolets were imported into the US from 1992-5. With most of them well used and with high miles, here is your opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Porsche treasure.

Personally I would treat it to a set of modern wheels and an MP3 payer, it has not been upgraded to preserve its originality.

Car Club USA: Porsche Club of America Escape to Rushmore

Wed, Dec 16 2015

The Porsche Club of America, whose motto is "it's not just the cars, it's the people," plans its annual Escape in a different city every year. This year's was particularly epic, as Porsche fans headed to the Black Hills of South Dakota for their gathering. The scenery and the history are part of the attraction, but the winding roads are the real headliner. "This road right here is the reason why we chose the Black Hills of South Dakota to do the 2015 Escape," said Ron Johnson of the Nord Stern Porsche Club as he navigated the mountain range. "These Porsches really love these twisty, curvy roads." That statement neatly sums up why the sports cars have resonated so deeply with their owners and enthusiasts for so long. In addition to the guided tours and drives around the winding terrain, the club hosts a car show. This year marks the club's 60th in the United States, and the Escape drew a wide range of Porsches of all vintages. Lloyd and Donna Nelson from Valley City, ND, arrived in their 1955 Porsche Speedster, which they purchased alongside a 1951 coupe in 1964 for a grand total of $750. Needless to say, it was a good investment – although they didn't know it at the time. "We had two children, one on the way, we were both working and I really didn't see the sense in two old cars," explained Donna. "I said, 'one of them has to go,'" to which Lloyd responded, "which one of the kids?" They sold the coupe long ago, but the speedster is still gorgeous and gets more than its fair share of stares and use. Will they win best of show? "This is what us as enthusiasts dream of," Johnson said. Watch the latest episode of Car Club USA to see how it turns out and for a snapshot of life at the Escape. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.

All Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services

Mon, Oct 1 2018

They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.
