Porsche 944 in guards red with beige cloth interior, front seats have sheep skin covers. 120,000 original miles on the motor. This car came from my neighbors garage when they were moving a few weeks ago. It looks to have been sitting for some time, I found receipts on the passenger seat from 1999! It has no plates, though it does come with the title, which is Oregon and branded as rebuilt. I have looked the car over and it shows no signs of damage other than the passenger door looking to have been repainted and a small ding in the front quarter panel near the passenger headlight. The car looks great and is showing no rust.

 When I got the car I drained the coolant and oil and replaced with new fluids, replaced the battery and gave it fresh gas. the car started just fine with a bit of smoke out of the exhaust which went away after a minute or two. Not having plates I have not been able to do much road testing, though it has been around the block a few times and the car accelerates, stops, and turns as it should. Car is a 5 speed and it gets through all the gears just fine as well as reverse. I did a compression test and all cylinders looked good reading at: 1:230Lbs. 2:220Lbs. 3:200Lbs. 4:230Lbs.

The interior is fairly clean though the rear seats have a few rips in them and the fronts are covered by sheep skin. The ignition seems to have a key broken off in it so the car starts below the dash with a screwdriver, A new ignition cylinder and key is included. All of the lights work fine and the pop up headlights move up and down just fine. Neither of the windows work and i have had no time to troubleshoot this yet, though the car came with a window switch in the center console. The sunroof works just fine and is easily removed. Also included is a full motor gasket set and a new water pump as well as a timing belt. Looks as though the previous owner was going to put some work into the car. The tires have good tread and are holding air. The wheels are original Porsche "phone dials" and are in great shape.

This car is new to me and I have no experience working on Porsche's and I am not that eager to learn. I really want to pass this car on to someone who is excited to have a 944. I am a BMW guy myself, I own and drive an E30 M3 daily, and feel conflicted having this other German sports car in my driveway. The car is good and would be a great project for someone, just not me right now. 

Like I have stated, this car has not been fully tested. It starts, runs, drives, and stops. that's about all I can tell you though, I have not had it checked by any professional mechanics or shops. All that said, car is sold AS IS where it is! buyer will coordinate and pay for any shipping I will help out with that however I can though. Thanks for looking and good luck. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to request photos.

Porsche Mission E set for launch by 2020

Fri, Dec 4 2015

Porsche will bring the Mission E electric sedan to production by 2020. The company's board just gave the thumbs up for further development of the vehicle on Dec. 4. "Even in a greatly changing motoring world, Porsche will maintain its front-row position with this fascinating sports car," Dr. Wolfgang Porsche, chairman of the supervisory board of Porsche AG, said in the model's announcement. The Mission E debuted at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show as a long-slung sedan in a mix of aluminum, steel, and carbon-fiber reinforced polymer. The concept featured two permanent magnet synchronous motors with over 590 horsepower, all-wheel drive with torque vectoring, and four-wheel steering. Porsche claimed that the model could reach 62 miles per hour in less than 3.5 seconds and offer a 500-kilometer (310.7-mile) range on the European testing cycle. Plus, the brand alleged the vehicle could lap the Nordschleife in less than eight minutes. The concept version also boasted an 800-volt charger to provide 80 percent of the range just 15 minutes after the driver plugged it in. We won't know for some time how much of this cutting-edge tech will actually arrive on the production version, but building the Mission E will coincide with 700-million euros ($765 million) in updates to the Porsche factory in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. In the coming years, the company will upgrade its engine factory to assemble electric motors. The automaker will also add a new paint shop, assembly plant, and enlarged body shop there.

It will be launched at the end of the decade. The supervisory board of the Porsche AG today gave the green light for the Mission E project. Mission E, Concept Car, Press Conference IAA , Frankfurt, 2015, Porsche AG With the Mission E project, Porsche is continuing to back sustainable growth. In Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen alone more than 1,000 new jobs are being created. The company will be investing around 700 million euros in its main site there. Over the next few years, a new paint shop and a new assembly plant will be built. The existing engine factory is also being expanded for the production of electric motors. In addition, the existing body shop is being enlarged.

Watch onboard video of the Porsche 918 Spyder's record 'Ring lap

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

"Pics or it didn't happen!" You could almost hear the Internet shouting this when news started to trickle in about a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring lap by the new Porsche 918 Spyder. Well, after an official press release, which we ran earlier today, we have your "pics." Moving pics, to be more exact. Porsche has released on-board footage of the 6:57 lap.
The video, which runs about eight-and-a-half minutes, and shows the 918 from inside the car on a flying lap of the German track. Perhaps what's remarkable is just how undramatic it all looks. Sure, there's some sawing at the wheel from test driver Marc Lieb (one of three testers, including legendary rally king Walter Röhrl), but he makes wrangling the Martini-liveried 918 look kind of easy.
Take a look down below for the full, on-board video, and then click over and read our initial write-up from earlier this morning and take a glance at the more stylized video that Porsche originally posted.
