1997 Porsche Boxster Race / Track Day Car. Jake Raby Flat 6 / LN Engineering Engine.
Vehicle has minimal use since built 4 years ago by Scan Automotive Inc. (www.scanautomotive.com), and only used as a DE / Lapping day car, and for one hill climb race. Never raced wheel-to-wheel. Zero body / tub damage. Approximately 20 hours on all parts in build. Every single part used was new at time of build, and all regular maintenance items were replaced at the time. The car is street registered in BC / Canada and can be insured as a road car (helpful if you want to keep your car insured properly in case of the 'worst'). Can be driven on the road with the appropriate tires, but it's not really a road car any more. Built to be a fun to drive, friendly, reliable and safe track day car with no expenses spared. For a BC buyer, the car is insured as a 'modified' vehicle and as such, is cheaper to insure and has greater value coverage than as a normal '97 Boxster in the event of a loss. Since it's a registered street car, I'm sure importing to the US wouldn't be much difficulty as it's easy to establish ownership. The car is a Canadian market / registered car. Cost to replicate would be massive, Asking $40K USD. * Car was built from an exceptionally clean and original, local Vancouver car with approximately 43000 Miles on it at the time. Originally black, but painted Lamborghini Grigio Telesto after the first couple driving events (was WAAY too hot inside with the black paint, looked really mean though). * Cage was built by Specialty Engineering along with wing upgrights to mount 996 GT3 Cup wing * Second stock decklid without wing included (black), with hood pin catches already fitted. Easy swap. * Doors have been opened up and removed standard glass / window regulators, have lexan windows for transport in open trailer. * Seat mounting modified to floor on driver's side to lower seat position (Best for taller drivers) * Includes one set of 'gutted' light assemblies and a set of working headlamps (with somewhat burned lenses) * 996 Front bumper with lower spoiler * GT3 Cup retractable tow hooks front and rear * Factory aluminum hard top. Can be driven on track with top on or off. * Jake Raby built 3.6 M96 engine based on a 3.2 Boxster S featuring full suite of LN / Flat 6 Innovations improvements. Cost of building the engine was $35K USD. Makes over 300hp with short runner Boxster S intake manifold, would make more if 996 3.4 intake manifold was used. Barely 1000 miles on the engine total. * Oil Accumulator with both manual and electronic valves * New clutch and flywheel installed (stock), will include AASCO single mass flywheel with approx 2 hours of use. * Fabspeed rear exhaust and Dansk headers * Air Conditioning still fitted and functioning (great if you plan to drive on the street at all, or when sitting in the pits at the track on a hot day!) * Third radiator fitted * Several wheel / tire sets available at additional cost. Vehicle comes with one set of 18" Wheels (either Fikse FM 10 black anodized or OZ Alleggerita HLT wheels) with new Hoosier R6 tires and one set of 17" original Boxster wheels with Hoosier rain tires. * Moton Club Sport shock absorbers with H&R Race springs / tender spring package * Mode rear upper shock mounts * Tarett front upper shock mounts? * H&R sway bars front and rear * GT3 lower control arms front and rear * Tarett rear toe links with locking plates * 996 Brake calipers front and rear (same as Boxster S, but black instead of red calipers). * Goodridge brake hoses * Transmission in great order, has Quaife ATB differential installed. Early Boxster transmission had shorter ratios than later 5 speed versions. * Wevo SS engine and transmission mounts * GT3 Shift console with Tarett console to raise shifter up to steering wheel * OMP Steering wheel with quick dis-connect * Recaro Profi SPG XL seat currently fitted, but could potentially swap to another seat better suited to new owner if required. On sliders. * Schroth GT3 HANS harness fitted. Have tabs on cage to mount harnesses for both driver and passenger side * Rennline track mat for driver floor. * GT3 Euro seat in passenger side NOT included in purchase, and not available. |

Porsche planning customer driving center at Le Mans
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Porsche seems to be on a campaign to build driving centers for its customers to allow them to experience the capabilities of their cars on track. It has one under way in Los Angeles, another in development at its North American headquarters in Atlanta, and a British center set up at the Silverstone circuit. Now the latest reports indicate that Porsche is planning yet another driving center at Le Mans.
The new facility is earmarked to be built at the Circuit de la Sarthe right by the start/finish line, incorporating the Porsche Curves that bridge the Arnage corner and the Ford Chicanes on the West side of the famous track.
Porsche is reportedly still seeking approval from the Automobile Club de l'Ouest that manages the circuit, and once given the green light, would still take some time to complete. But the idea of driving a 911 flat out on the legendary track is likely to make more than a few mouths water, particularly as the German automaker prepares its full-on assault of the famous endurance race next year.
Mysterious Porsche 911 Cabriolet spied, could be GTS
Mon, 10 Mar 2014While Porsche's designers can jokingly be accused of being some of the laziest in the industry due to the incremental changes to the 911's iconic design, no such charge can be leveled against the engineers and product planning folks. That's because it seems like each week arrives with news of a new variation of the marque's iconic rear-engined sports car. So, for this week, we've brought you images of what we think is the new 911 GTS Cabriolet, undergoing testing in a thawing winter wonderland.
Now, what is it that gives this 911 away, compared to standard convertible? Well, the big thing is the new offset, center-mounted exhausts. Borrowing a page from the last Volkswagen R32, these exhaust tips are unlike anything we've seen from Porsche. Only the GT3 wears center pipes, and unlike these spy photos, the twin pipes on the track-minded 911 are stacked neatly alongside each other. The other change spotted by our spies is the set of active-aerodynamic flaps in the front bumper, which can automatically channel air toward the brakes for increased cooling, or close off to reduce drag, as needed.
Those exhausts are a pretty big design detail, and so far as we can tell is the only differentiator between the other 911s in this car's posse. Our spies speculate that this could be a 911 Speedster, but point out that both the canvas roof and windshield remain unchanged - the rumored Speedster model would almost certainly feature a different roof assembly along with a steeply raked windshield.
Singer Porsche, Koenigsegg, NSX: Leno's life doesn't suck
Tue, Oct 6 2015Jay Leno had quite a productive trip this year during Monterey Car Week. Not only did he get to pal around with Ian Callum and check out the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but the denim-clad comedian also headed to The Quail to talk to some prominent figures in the modern sports car scene. Capping off the fun, he got to take a drive in a Mercedes-AMG GT S, too Perhaps the highlight of this show is a nearly 10-minute interview with Christian von Koenigsegg. The founder of the Swedish hypercar company digs deep into the Agera One:1's engineering details, relating interesting facts about the aerodynamics and transmission. In addition, Leno chats with Rob Dickenson of Singer about its newly reimagined Porsche 911 Targa, and he gets the latest scoop on the Acura NSX's progress from newly promoted Acura Vice President and General Manager Jon Ikeda. If you like hearing about the nuts and bolts of sports car development, then this video can't be missed. Of course, we were there at Monterey, too, and we pointed our own cameras at some of the amazing machinery, both vintage and modern, at all the various car-focused events of the week. Take a look back at some of our own cool footage in the videos below. Related Video:
