1956 Porsche Vintage 550 Spyder Rs Air Cooled Boxer Engine on 2040-cars
Ventress, Louisiana, United States
This Vintage Spyder was manufactured in 2000 to full completion and is equipped with a high performance CB Performance 1915 cc Air Cooled Engine. The car is a beautiful German Racing Silver over a bright red interior. The options list when ordered included the RS package, helmet rest, 3.44 gear, and tonneau cover. A car cover is included as well. The car has been driven 4200 professionally maintained miles and at 1300 pounds moves briskly by the dynoed 133 horsepower engine. CB Performance 044 heads and forged Hi Po internals allow the engine to rev willingly and safely. The dual Weber IDF 40's have a recent rebuild and tune have four inch Velocity Stacks and also K and N filters included as well. The exhaust system is a four into one sytem that sounds beautiful as the throttle is floored. A 911 style cooling shroud and chrome Valve Covers and Starter make for a beautiful engine bay. The frame is a coated alloy and held on the ground by Aldan Adjustable Racing shocks and 15" five lug Chrome wheels and Dunlop Radials. VDO gauges complete the interior.
I love this car and feel the fit and finish is up to the highest standard to please the most detailed eye. The car has had two collector owners and spent its life in Palm Springs until August of 2012. I drive the car regularly and even at 6' 2" find it comfortable on road trips. The paint is very nice as is the interior, until I bought the car it had never been driven in rain. The car will come detailed and have a fresh service to include valve adjustment. The questions and looks this car attracts really surprised me. One question that some ask is if it is a kit car, and the answer is no, emphatically, Vintage Spyders hand built this car to completion to include the engine install to the highest of standards. She runs, she handles, and she's just a lot of fun. If you have any questions please feel free to ask as many as you wish. |

2022 Maserati Ghibli, Levante and Quattroporte get new trim levels
Wed, Jun 30 2021Maserati's three-car lineup soldiers into 2022 with some new trim levels for the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans and the Levante crossover SUV. Say arrivederci to the GranLusso and GranSport nameplates and buongiorno to the new GT and Modena monikers. They join the Trofeo, which arrived last year as the top-of-the-line variant for sedans after having been introduced on the Levante in 2018. In the Ghibli, the GT is powered by the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 making 345 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. It also gets 18-inch alloy wheels and chrome accents outside, with leather "comfort" seats and Dark Mirror trim inside. The Ghibli Modena features a 424-horsepower version of the V6 engine with 428 lb-ft. Restyled bumpers with black inserts and 20-inch wheels complete the look outside, while the interior boasts "wraparound" leather seats. The top-drawer Ghibli Trofeo returns with its Ferrari-built 580-horsepower twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 with 538 lb-ft of torque (top speed: 203 miles per hour). The Ghibli Trofeo is also denoted by its carbon-fiber exterior trim, 21-inch wheels and red brake calipers. The Quattroporte GT uses the same 345-hp twin-turbo V6 as the Ghibli GT. The bigger sedan does upgrade to 19-inch wheels outside and what Maserati refers to as "radica" trim inside. In the Quattroporte also, the Modena again uses the 424-hp V6, rolls on 20-inch wheels and is dressed up inside with piano black accents. The Quattroporte Trofeo also rocks the 580-horse twin-turbo V8, carbon-fiber exterior, 21-inch wheels and red brake calipers. The Levante GT again uses the 345-hp V6 but deviates from the sedans with its 19-inch wheels and piano black interior accents. The Levante Modena gets the 424-hp V6, but a Levante-exclusive Modena S model swaps in a 550-hp version of the turbocharged V8. The Levante Modena S also has black exterior elements (the Nerrissimo Pack) and red calipers. The Levante Trofeo gets the full 580-horse version of the V8, again with carbon-fiber exterior trim and 21-inch wheels (with 22-inch available). Pricing has not yet been released for the 2022 Maseratis, although the cars are available to order starting July 1. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Maserati orders triple on strength of Quattroporte demand in China
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Considering Maserati sold all of 6,300 cars globally in 2012, its goal of selling 50,000 by 2015 seemed like a bit of a stretch to say the least, but it turns the Fiat-owned automaker was on to something. Reuters is reporting that Maserati has already received about 17,000 orders for cars this year, with help from the new 2014 Quattroporte and strong demand in China.
The US continues to be the top market for Maserati sales, but the report quotes Harald Wester, brand chief executive, as saying that China is now the top market for Quattroporte. As big of an improvement as this is it bears mentioning that the Ghibli isn't even on sale yet and the Levante SUV, a redesigned GranTurismo and a new 911-fighting coupe are still waiting in the pipeline.
