This 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo is very clean! It's had it's 90,000 mile service done including (new clutch, timing chain/belt?, plugs, wires etc.), new suspension installed with adjustable shocks, new tires put on, and a premium stereo installed as well. The paint is in great shape and shines like new! The body only has three golf ball size dents in the front drivers side fender that can easily be popped out from a tree limb that fell and three 4 inch scratches on the front passenger side of the bumper from who-knows-what. The sun roof is fiberglass and has a bit of paint chipping on the corners from age and use, but nothing that can't be fixed. I had a reputable body shop quote me $250 to fix everything however, I just haven't had the time to do it. The interior is in awesome shape. It does have the standard 944 dash crack and drivers seat wear, but other than that it's held up VERY well over it's 25 years of existence. Aside from the upgraded shocks and stereo this car is all stock. It runs and drives like a race car! It idles good and loves to cruise the strip and occasionally stretch its legs. I hate to give this car up, as it is my "dream car" but, when things are tight you have to make hard decisions. I've had one of these before as well and they are by far my favorite cars to drive! especially with the turbo...


~In one or two of the pictures the plastic shift pattern is missing *It has now been re-installed* the detailer vacuumed it up and I had to wait a few days to get it back~

Porsche revisits its remarkable SC East African Safari rally car

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Porsche and motorsports just seem to go hand-in-hand. The brand has defined itself by its ability to compete on the track with the concept that racing bred better road cars. While we are used to seeing 911s speeding along circuits around the world, the rear-engine icon's success in rallying is somewhat less well known. The Porsche Museum aims to fix that by highlighting a 911 SC that competed in the 1978 East African Safari Rally.
The 911 rally car definitely projects a '70s vibe. You wouldn't see too many racecars with a pink brush bar sliding through the stages these days, but it looks amazing. Its bank of spotlights and two, giant, hood-mounted horns definitely give away the car's purpose. Best of all, that fantastic Martini livery defines the looks of Porsche racers from this era.
The 911 SC performed well in the East African Safari Rally, but some suspension damage meant that this particular one never raced again. It's been a part of the Porsche Museum ever since. Scroll down to learn a little more about one part of the brand's off-road legacy.

Porsche is planning a hybrid version of the 911

Fri, Mar 11 2016

Changes at Porsche are coming thick and hot. It's been a few decades since the last major engine technology change – the very dramatic shift from air- to water-cooling. Now we're seeing a turbo shift, in which even pedestrian 911s, Caymans, and Boxsters are being fitted with turbos. Next up is hybrid proliferation throughout the manufacturer's full range. Hybrids aren't new to the Porsche lineup, of course. The Panamera hybrid has appeared in two forms, one in 2012 and one in 2015. Likewise, the Cayenne hybrid was recently upgraded to plug-in spec. The 918 Spyder is also a plug-in hybrid. The 911, Cayman, and Boxster have been left off the hybridization program so far, but that's about to change. The 911 is "next in line" for hybrid tech, says Lutz Meschke, a board member at Porsche AG. That means we'll likely see a hybrid 911 before the fully-electric production Mission E arrives. Every Porsche model will eventually get a gas-electric option, so the Macan crossover and 718 Boxster and Cayman will follow the iconic sports car's lead soon.

The turbocharged base 911 has fractured critical opinion somewhat, although we loved our first drive of the 2017 911 Carrera with its twin-turbo flat-six engine.

RM Sotheby's Turbollection features exotics from the '80s and '90s

Wed, Aug 14 2024

If you have even a passing interest in cars, there's little doubt you know a thing or two about Porsche, whether the topic centers around a classic name like 911 or the more mainstream Cayenne and Macan crossovers. Bugatti? Sure, most people know about the historic French builder of world-class, record-setting automobiles, though admittedly the EB110 we're about to show you probably wouldn't be the first to come to mind. Fewer are likely familiar with the likes of Vector Aeromotive, a tiny American company with history that dates back to the 1980s. And we'd wager that most have never even heard of the likes of Isdera and Cizeta. Brush up on your history, (super wealthy car collecting) folks. RM Sotheby's has an exciting array of cars coming up for auction during the Monterey Car Week festivities on California. Among all the expected Ferrari, Lamborghini and Shelby classics potential buyers can wade through, the so-called Turbollection collection features much rarer oddities.
