1990 Porsche 944 S2 Convertible 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Montgomery, Alabama, United States
|
I looked for a long time to find a well-maintained, undamaged, low mileage 944 s2 cabriolet, and if you've been looking, you know how hard they are to find. This is a stunning 46,675 mile car and is all original with no modifications. Guards red exterior with black leather, black top and near new tires on factory 16" s2 alloys. Car runs, drives, looks outstanding. –Exterior- Guards red finish is excellent. The surface is straight with no door dings and shines very well, as you'd expect of a garaged car (many clear coats of the day oxidized and became hazy; this paint looks fabulous). The rear tag panel had scratches when I purchased the car and I had it professionally matched and painted, along with the small, always faded plastic rear fender caps. The paint in the door jambs, under the hood, and other "non-viewed" places still looks excellent. The doors, hood and trunk shut with authority and all gaps are uniform and proper. –Interior- The black interior is in outstanding condition, noting the miles and care given the car. The door panels are uncut and pristine, as is the carpet. The dash has no cracks, nor does the console. The rear seats appear as new. The switchgear works great. Air conditioning blows cold; power seats, windows, mirrors, locks and cruise all work as designed. This 944 even has heated seats! There are no faults known regarding the operation of this car's electronics, even the clock works! Also, the car has it's original am/fm cassette palyer, along with the optional amp and equalizer. The original, unused inflatable spare is present, as is the porsche air pump and all original trunk accessories (tools, plastic gloves, etc). –Engine, Drivetrain- The car starts with the first twist of the key, settles into an easy idle, and holds excellent pressure. It pulls strong and shifts crisply, without the sloppiness of higher mile cars. This car is steady and stable at any speed. Steering and clutch feel fantastic with no shudder; it brakes with no pulling or fading. Honestly, the car drives just like you'd hope a low mileage well-maintained porsche would. Additionally, a full belt service(timing, etc.), along with water pump replacement, was performed within the last 350 miles. –Overall- This 944 is super reliable, fast enough for most any street driver, capable, plus get fantastic fuel economy. The tops seal as well as a coupe, and these cars are handlers. I've owned lots of sports cars, but the s2 is a league ahead in confident, no drama performance and handling. This car is as nice an example as i have seen; I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere, has ample trunk space, and is serviced for road worthiness. Fly in and drive it home!....best wishes in your bidding. |

Touring Italy in a classic Porsche will have you feeling continental
Wed, 13 Nov 2013It's hard to believe there was a time when a Porsche 911 didn't come to market with 400 horsepower. But as the latest video from Petrolicious reminds us, with this video of a 1968 911T, owned by Donato Maniscalco, that time wasn't so long ago.
You might think, being a distinguished man living in Italy, Maniscalco would be more enthused by a Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini, but in reality, it was always Porsche that enamored the Italian as a boy. And it was that passion that led him to purchase the glorious 911T he's seen tossing about in this video.
Maniscalco goes into detail about what makes the old 911 such a legend, while also mentioning how he and the car participate in classic rallies and races. There's also some typically beautiful footage of the Italian countryside, as well. So take a look below for the latest video from Petrolicious.
Ferrari Speciale and Porsche GT3 make the trip to Le Mans
Thu, Aug 6 2015Call it a pilgrimage. Call it a right of passage. The bottom line is that every racing fan should make the trip to Le Mans at some point. All the better if you can do it in style, as Evo has for this latest video. Instead of taking any old car through the Chunnel and along the French countryside to the famous Circuit de la Sarthe, Evo made the trip in the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3. Both are more extreme versions of the already capable sports cars. They're still naturally aspirated, drive the rear wheels through seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions, and both won top honors in Evo's car of the year awards upon their release. And we could hardly imagine better vehicles for the journey. Along the way, the convoy-of-two stopped by the side of the old Rouen-Les-Essarts circuit. Back in the 1950s and 60s it was regarded as one of Europe's finest street circuits, hosting the French Grand Prix five times. It was closed down and paved over in the decades that followed, and is today part of a public thoroughfare – but you can still drive around it and see some of the relics of its former self peering through.

The Volkswagen Group switches official language to English
Wed, Dec 14 2016The Volkswagen Group can't be fairly thought of as entirely German anymore, so the news that the company is switching its official language to English to help attract managers and executives is a rational, if surprising, decision. While many VW Group companies are still staidly German in character and culture, consider the other companies that it controls: Bentley (British), Bugatti (French), Ducati and Lamborghini (Italian), Skoda (Czech), Scania trucks (Swedish), and SEAT (Spanish). Not to mention the large Volkswagen Group of America operation, which constructs cars in Chattanooga, TN. Volkswagen's explicit motivation is to improve management recruitment – making sure the company isn't losing out on candidates for important positions because they can't speak German – and that's inherently sensible in a globalized economy. Particularly considering, like it or lump it, that English is the lingua franca of said global economy. It also should make it inherently easier to communicate between its world-wide subsidiaries and coordinate operations. It's hard to say for sure if this will have any impact on the consumer, although it's easy to see the benefits if, say, VW Group hires some American product planners or engineers and they push for features and designs that more closely suit American needs. After all, the US is a hugely important market for any manufacturer, and so the switch to English almost certainly has something to do with the outsized influence of the US in the global economy. And there doesn't seem to be a downside from a purely rational perspective, although it could mean that the Group's corporate culture becomes less German. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your perspective.
