The day of picture taking does not show the color well so I added one picture from when I purchased the car and Florida.
Also the color shows much better in the videos;

Up for sale is a 1996 Porsche 911/993 C2 coupe. Beautiful Midnight Blue metallic color and with approx. 45K miles with a salvage title.
This has been my project car and future DE car since 2007. I purchased this car in West palm Beach FL from an ad in the Autotrader.
I purchased the car knowing it had a salvage title from 1999 with 18,599 miles (see Carfax), but after having all original Porsches before I wanted a car I would not be concerned with keeping original.
The individual I purchased the car from was not straight forward on the history so I do not know the history of the car. It is a running project.

The starting price reflects what I believe to be the salvage value of the car: engine+tranmission+rolling chassis.

It is licensed in NC under an emission waiver.The reason for the waiver is a faulty DMU that the local Porsche dealer is unable to read.
The car runs great and the strength of the engine was reason I then drove the car from West Palm Beach to NC (approx 772 miles).
It has never failed to start and leaks no oil.

I no longer can find the time to continue this project.

My ambition was to convert the car to a RS clone. The car has been lowered by a previous owner and the BF Goodrich GForce tires are fairly new.
The car has a new clutch with maybe a 2K miles on it. The transmission shifts well as long as you don't hurry it. Both the steering wheel and shifter have the RS style equipment.
I purchased Sparco Torino seats to replace the originals and have the paqssenger seat installed. I have the drivers side Sparco and all the installation hardware to complete the seat swap.
Interior of the Porsche is gray with black and there is some wear on the seat.  The dashboard is fine as is the carpet.

Overall: The Good.

Strong reliable, engine. (great candidate for a 914-6!).
Good transmission.
Handles great and is fast.
All lights work accept missing passenger side door overhead light switch.
Paint in overall very nice shape.
Brakes work fine but will need rotors and pads at some point.
AC worked up until last year and most likely needs recharge.
The car is road ready and can be driven anywhere.

The Bad. (...but is a Project car).
Salvage title
No factory spare but have a 964 spare.
Spoiler curtain just developed a tear. Speed sensitive spoiler though works fine.
Curb rash on Passenger side wheels
Heat does not work. Passenger side heat exchanger had a hole in it (previous owner). Have replacement exchanger and heater tubes.
Passenger side rear inner fender shroud missing. (removed to drain oil to front exchangers and lost by previous owner)
Curled the bottom lip of the rear bumper cover causing a tear in the cover. Replacement cover provided.
Struts for front and rear lids need replacing.
Radio antennae to windshield is broke (has factory radio).

The price reflects what I believe to be the salvage value of the car: engine+tranmission+rolling chassis.
The car cannot be restored to new condition but those wanting to enjoy a drivable Porsche project car.... it is well worth the money I'm asking plus more.

Before you place a bid please call me or email me with any questions.

The car is sold as is without any warranty. You are welcome to do pre-purchased inspections before the auction ends.

2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Think of the electric motor in the facelifted 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as the cream filling in an Oreo cookie. Under the hood of this plug-in hybrid crossover is a 333-horsepower, supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 95-hp synchronous electric motor sandwiched between it and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The clutched powertrain allows pure combustion, pure electric or a combination of both to drive all four wheels through Porsche's permanent all-wheel-drive system.
Differentiating itself from the Panamera S E-Hybrid sedan, which shares the same basic powertrain and stores energy in a 9.4-kWh battery, the Cayenne crossover is fit with a more robust 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers an estimated pure-electric driving range of up to 22 miles at speeds of up to 78 miles per hour.
To be one of the very first US media members to sample Porsche's latest fuel-efficient crossover, the automaker flew us to Frankfurt, Germany, to test the five-passenger Cayenne S E-Hybrid on its home turf.

Modded budget Mazda Miata takes on new Porsche Boxster in more challenges

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Earlier this month, our friends across the pond at Auto Express released the first in a two-video series that would see them try and build up a second-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata that could best a standard Porsche Boxster around the track. While that first video detailed the mods to the MX-5 - a supercharger, some suspension upgrades and a new set of super-sticky rubber being chief among them - and set baseline lap times for the stock car, today, we have the results of the 5,000-pound ($8,200) upgrade job.
Of course, we aren't going to spoil those for you. You'll need to watch the full video, which recaps the upgrades before digging into a comparison of both straight-line-speed differences between the 2.7-liter Porsche Boxster and blown Miata, as well as their behavior and lap times on the track.
Take a look and let us know what you think in Comments.

Watch this Koenigsegg CCX hit 211 mph on a runway, outpacing McLaren's P1

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Vmax200 in in England organizes events where those who care to show up with a supercar can run them down the two-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Evo attended the latest event, bringing an impressively green Lamborghini Aventador to test its girth and gaping vents against other precious metals like the McLaren P1 and F1, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and enough 911 Turbos to start a dealership. Speaking of those Porsches, nine of the top ten slots in the top speed competition are claimed by modified 911 Turbos.
A monochrome Swede ruled them all, though, a black-and-white Koenigsegg CCX setting fire to the speed trap run after run, hitting 211 miles per hour at its quickest. It was followed by, surprise, a 911 GT2 modified by 9E that did 210 mph. You can watch the EVO video below, GT Spirit has a bigger breakdown of the day, and we've included another vid showing the tandem launch of the CCX and McLaren F1.
