DESCRIPTION: 2001 Porsche Boxster Coupe 986. NO RESERVE! Beautiful classic Porsche silver paint with black/dark blue/gray interior and soft top convertible roof. Spring is here and summer is right around the corner-time to put the top down! 5 speed manual transmission. 2.7 liter, 6 cylinders rear wheel drive. 87,XXX miles. Paint job is in great shape with no dents, dings, cracks, etc. Anti-lock braking system. Not an "S" but has sport option: 19 inch premium wheels with electric extendable/retractable spoiler, multi-colored Porsche logo on wheel caps and steering wheel, and Porsche emblem valve caps. Has "PORSCHE" Racing decal on top of windshield which can be easily removed if that's not your thing. This car is located in zip code 76155, Ft. Worth, TX. Comes complete with owner's manual and hardback service book. I will post more pictures this weekend once I get the car washed.

 

OPERATIONAL: This car runs beautifully! I put a lot of TLC and money into it. On March 30th I drove it from Orlando, FL to Dallas/Ft.Worth straight through (18 hours) without any problems. The car faired better than me! The transmission and clutch shift smoothly. Being a mid-engine car, it's surprisingly silent! It's also very spacious for a 2 seat coupe. Has both front and rear trunk space. Cruise control works flawlessly. All wiper functions operate normally. Gauges and instrument cluster fully operational. A/C blows cold. Power windows, door locks, side mirrors. All exterior and interior lights work. Roof does not leak. The roof raises and lowers fine except as the roof is lowering you have to help the roof into the track with your hand. This is a matter of doing it whilst in the car or out. It may need adjustment. The driver's side door/door jamb squeaks a little bit when going over bumps. I think it may need adjusting or lubrication. Has security system. Comes with remote key and Porsche FOB. You can lock/unlock the car, front trunk, and rear trunk remotely.

 

INTERIOR: Power steering, leather seats, dual and side airbags, telescoping steering wheel, usual wear and tear, brand new cup holders, JVC AM/FM/CD stereo deck with 1/8th input for your iPod, amplifier installed in front trunk. Carpets in great shape with the Porsche moniker.

Are you the next Porsche 911 GT3 RS or GT2?

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

Porsche typically keeps to a suitably fast schedule when it comes to rolling out increasingly hard-core performance versions of the 911. After the 997 Carrera debuted in 2004, the GT3 version followed in 2006, and by the end of the 2007, Porsche had rolled out both the GT3 RS and GT2 versions. Then the facelifted 997.5 came out in 2008 and it was back to the start: the GT3 came in 2009, the GT3 RS and GT2 RS in 2010, and the GT3 RS 4.0 in 2011. But things have slowed down some with the latest 991 generation.
The new Carrera came in 2011 and the GT3 followed in 2012. By recent history's example, we should have at least two more hardcore models by now, but we don't. Maybe the engineers in Zuffenhausen have had their hands full fixing the spontaneous-combustion issues with the existing GT3, or maybe their attentions have been focused elsewhere altogether. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it seems like they're back on the job.
Now we don't know if this prototype foreshadows a new GT3 RS or a GT2, but it sure looks more hard-core than the existing GT3 that many purists have derided as too soft, what with its automatic transmission and four-wheel steering.

Roger Rodas' widow suing Porsche over Carrera GT crash

Tue, 13 May 2014


Investigations undertaken by local law enforcement may have vindicated Porsche from any wrongdoing in the crash that killed actor Paul Walker and racing driver Roger Rodas last year, but the latter's widow is apparently not convinced. According to emerging reports, Kristine Rodas has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America.
In her suit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rodas' attorney Mark Geragos reportedly disputes the findings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which asserted that the vehicle was traveling at an unsafe speed of 90 miles per hour on city streets, identifying the speed as the cause of the accident. Instead the lawsuit claims that the vehicle was only going 55 mph and that the cause of the crash was improper equipment - namely a faulty right rear suspension and the lack of a crash cage and proper fuel tank.

Pininfarina teases its Tesla- and Bugatti-baiting EV supercar

Tue, Jul 10 2018

Pininfarina isn't being bashful when it comes to getting into the car business. The Italian design house has revealed a sketch of the PF0 Concept, an electric supercar aimed directly at the world's fastest and most expensive vehicles. With upward of 1,000 horsepower, along with an expected price in the millions of dollars, this extreme EV is meant as a calling card for Pininfarina's upcoming range of electric cars and SUVs. So should the likes of Tesla, Porsche, Ferrari, Bugatti and Lamborghini be worried? Pininfarina might be new to building its own cars, but the company has many decades of experience designing and engineering some of the most desirable cars of all time — including many of the finest supercars to have worn a Ferrari badge on their nose. As we reported earlier this year, Pininfarina has teamed with Indian auto manufacturer, Mahindra, to develop a range of high-end EVs. With this roughly $500 million investment, not to mention some engineering help from Croatian supercar manufacturer, Rimac, Pininfarina aims to start high. The company will first introduce a hypercar, based on the PF0 Concept, within two years, then bring along a range of more affordable electric cars and SUVs. These will more directly take on the likes of Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini Urus, and Tesla Model X. So yes, if you're in the business of building expensive cars, especially ones with a lot of batteries positioned inside them, Pininfarina's plans for the PF0 (that's a zero, not the letter "O," by the way) should make you sit up and take notice. "Automobili Pininfarina is a pioneering new business created to service the most discerning clients in the world," said Michael Perschke, CEO for Automobili Pininfarina. "Our product portfolio will launch with an innovative, zero-emissions hypercar that represents the progression we aim to make at the pinnacle of the luxury and sports car market." According to its press release, Pininfarina is currently presenting its "business and product plans to prospective retailer partners, clients and media in New York this week." After its tour of the Big Apple, look for Pininfarina to officially reveal the PF0 Concept during Monterey Car Week in August.
