1992 Porsche 968 Cabriolet - White With Blue Interior And Top - 6 Spd Manual on 2040-cars
Port Saint Lucie, Florida, United States
|
Mechanically good 1992 Cabriolet. Original top and paint. Original convertible cover also in good condition. This car is still one of the best handling cars on the road today. It is a lot of fun to drive and gets lots of smiles and comments from others on the road. Used mostly as a weekend car now, but has seen periods of use as a very reliable everyday vehicle. One of approximately 700 cabriolets delivered in 1992 to the North American market. This car is a well kept and has been garaged most of it's last 10 years. Previous history mostly unknown, but some records came with the car when I purchased it in 2005. Major service records from 2005 and on. PCA member from 2005 thru 2013. Carfax indicates that I am likely the fifth owner of this vehicle. Lots of parts have been updated / replaced / repaired. Major service performed a couple of thousand miles ago included timing belt / balance shaft service, replacement of the steering rack, and front suspension bushings. This car runs and drives better than when I purchased it. Some normal wear and tear to the paint and interior, especially considering that this vehicle is nearly 25 years old. Slight cracking of the leather on the upper exposed portion of the doors and minor wear of the driver's seat are the most obvious areas of note (see pictures). Passenger seat is in good shape. The rear window plastic is cracked at one location and has a small crease at a second. The crack has been sealed using reinforced clear duct tape. I tried to capture these items in the included pictures. The top does not leak. There are no dash cracks. The remote trunk release, the car alarm, and the power door locks all function properly. Even the clock still works and keeps accurate time. The tool kit is also complete. The original mechanic's gloves that were in the storage cubby in the engine compartment are missing. Air conditioning is functioning but requires normal service and a recharge. Previous service and recharge was performed in 2010. System runs, but stopped cooling about a year ago. Car is currently used only for 'top down' motoring so recharging the a/c has not been a priority. Tires are in good shape, as is the rest of the car. I would not hesitate to take this car on a road trip of any sort. I am currently preparing to move due to a job relocation and will not have room for this vehicle at my new location. Last time I moved I had to get rid of my 1988 BMW M6. The Porsche made it through that move but I can't hang on to it this time around....needless to say downsizing and moving are not very high on my list of things I look forward to. Car is available for local inspection. Let me know if there are any additional pictures of features that you would like to see and I will try to get them taken and posted or sent to you. Shipping is to be arranged by the purchaser or the car can be picked up locally. Vehicle will be stored in my garage for a short period of time to allow time for delivery arrangements. |

Porsche considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Some automakers make one hardcore version of a sports car and are done with it. Or at least they make one at a time. Think Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (or Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse) or Maserati GranTurismo MC. But not Porsche. It transforms the 911 into the hard-core GT3, the even harder-core GT3 RS, the you've-got-to-be-psychotic GT2 and the do-you-have-a-death-wish GT2 RS. The RS models take things to a further extreme, but what separates GT3 from GT2 models has traditionally been the use of foced induction: GT3s are naturally aspirated, while GT2s go turbo. But that could all be about to change.
According to the rumors making their round of the webosphere, Porsche is considering using a turbocharged engine for the next GT3 RS. The reason is that, as we all know, Porsche has already pushed the 3.8-liter flat-six in the existing GT3 about as far as it can go, and then some. And buyers expect not only a more bare-bones package with the GT3 RS, but also a bit of extra power.
Given that everything seems to be going turbo these days, the move might make some measure of sense, especially if Porsche wants to avoid with the GT3 RS the spontaneous combustion issues it faced with the GT3. But we can't help but wonder why, at that point, it wouldn't just skip the GT3 RS and go straight for the GT2.
Porsche 918 Spyder debuts with new N"urburgring lap record [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013It's been a long time in the making, but Porsche has finally revealed the final production version of its long-awaited 918 Spyder here at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And yet that's not even the big news surrounding the hybrid hypercar.
No, the big news is that, while Porsche was preparing taking the wraps off the car here in Frankfurt, elsewhere in Germany a team was setting a blistering lap time at the Nürburgring. And not just any blistering lap time, but a new world record.
Porsche claims that, on the morning of September 4, a team of three drivers (including former rally champ Walter Röhrl and Porsche test drivers Timo Kluck and Marc Lieb) broke the Nordschleife lap record, Lieb finally setting the best time at 6:57 at an average of 111 miles per hour.
Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration
Mon, 29 Sep 2014There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
