Rare 1990 PORSCHE 944S2 Cabriolet NO RESERVE AUCTION! This is one of the rarest Porsche Convertibles built in the last 40 years (exception: Carrera GT) and an undisputed future collectible with excellent investment potential. A small Number of approximately 2,402 were brought to the US from 1989 until 1991. Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_944 . (This is why you never see them). The 3.0 Liter engine was the largest cylinder Porsche had ever designed and allows for a very high revolution (RPM) and Torque, yet allowing very good gas mileage (20-29 MPG.) Putting out an impressive 208 HP, this 16 valve double overhead cam normally aspirated engine has a top speed of 159 mph, Dual airbags, Rack and pinion steering, 5 speed rear mounted transmission to allow proper 50/50 weight distribution on all tires, LARGE 4 wheel ventilated BREMBO disc brakes, Alpine CD player and a sticker price of $55,000.00 in 1990! Always a southern California car with no rust, never in any accidents, it is in great running condition, and is in need of a nothing but a new owner. The good: 5 speed transmission with new clutch and torque tube installed by Dennis Sherman Independent Porsche in San Diego Californa in last 1500 miles. Black leather Interior, new Black top with new rear window. Strong motor with great compression, Cold AC recently serviced by Beck's Independent Porsche of Scottsdale Arizona, power windows, power door locks, Power steering, Good tires, good brakes (new rear break pads and E Brake pads), Drives perfectly straight down the road, All gauges work, intermitten wipers. electric trunk release. The bad: There is a small power steering leak (not bad enough to require immediate attention.) LED clock is broken. The center glove box plastic hinge is broken. (I purchased a new one, which is included, but the dealer gave me the wrong 944 glove box so maybe you can return for the correct one) The tachometer now works great but it was previously replaced with a professionally rebuilt display because the plastic gears had gone bad. see pic taken with car running. Everything works perfect now. (This is normal for the gears to need to be replaced at this age) There is a rip in the bottom of the driver seat. see pic. (Included in the sale is another leather seat to replace the portion with the rip) NADA Blue Book value on these cars (beings that only approx 2402 were ever brought to the US) is only $13000 to $19000. NO RESERVE AUCTION. You could own this Porsche for a lot less! ABOUT THE 1990 Porsche 944 S2 16Ventiler Cabriolet: In 1989 the 944 S2 16Ventiler was introduced, powered by a 211 PS (155 kW; 208 hp) normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0L version of the 944S engine. With a bore of 104 mm (4.1 in) and a stroke of 88 mm (3.5 in), it was the largest production 4-cylinder engine of its time. The 944S2 also received a revised transmission and gearing to better suit the 3.0-liter M44/41 powerplant. The 944S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the Turbo model. This was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the fender and hood profiles would merge smoothly with the bumper, a timeless design feature that has only now seen widespread adoption on the 1990 onward production cars. Performance was quoted as 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds (0–100 km/h 6.8 s), with a top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph) via manual transmission. In 1990 Porsche released the 944 S2 Cabriolet, a first for the 944 line which featured the cabriolet body built by ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg Germany. Porsche produced units for all markets including right-hand drive for the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. The 944r was raced around the world and in the British championship called the Porsche Motorsport Championship. To this day, the 944S2 is a very popular track car due to its perfectly Balanced Weight Distribution and Light Weight to Engine Horse Power ratio. Production was limited to three years; 1989, 1990 and 1991. Additional Information: If you are looking for a timeless car that is unique, rare, and rivals the spirit of Ferrari and Lamborghini of that year, this is it. Clean, Collectible, Convertible ....and hey, it's a Porsche! What more could you want in the way of a great weekend car or daily driver. This beautiful black 944S2 has been very well maintained and has all the right options to get you to your destinations in style and comfort. Additional features and options include; 3.0L I4 Engine, 5 Speed, RWD, ABS Brakes, Front Airbags, Fog Lights, Owners Manuals, Power Windows/Mirrors, Spare Tire, Tire Tools, Only 1,824 S2 Cabriolets were exported from Germany to the US in 1990. 24 years later it is not easy to find one still this nice! Mechanically the car runs and drives as good as it looks. Powerful and smooth. Quiet. No leaks and no unusual noises. The clutch, transmission, and brakes all function perfectly. All the engine rubber hoses are in excellent shape and flexible. (no dry rot) The exhaust is stock and sounds good. Suspension is in excellent condition with adjustable rear Koni Shocks installed for better handling. Handling is pure Porsche. No shakes, no shimmies, no rattles. Just rock solid fun. Excellent Factory Porsche 17 inch Turbo wheels which carry a wider stance and fill the wheel wells perfectly. There are no major dents, scratches, dings, or stone chips in the body. (there are however a few very small scratches and stone chips that are not noticeable.) This car has never been in an accident with the exception of a small dent in the quarter panel back in 1991. This was professionally repaired by the Porsche Dealer in Beverly Hills California. The underside is as clean as the topside of the car. No rust at all, anywhere. This car has never seen winter, road salt, rain! The convertible top is in excellent condition (paid $2,000.00). No wear and no tears. The back window is clear and perfect. The top is excellent and the tonneau cover is as new. The interior has the leather upholstery option. It is in almost perfect condition with exception of the driver seat having a rip in the bottom. see pic. The dash has no cracks or fading.(always stored indoors) All of the switches and warning lights, instruments and controls work as new. The rear seat has never been used. And the passenger seat has no noticeable wear. The driver's seat is missing a small trim cover at the outer hinge. It does not affect the performance of the seat in any way. The power seat bolsters work perfectly, and the sliders and recliners work as new. The car has an after-market Alpine AM/FM/CD player. The speakers are upgraded. No holes or modifications have been made to the interior at all. The heat and air conditioning systems work as they should. The cruise control, power windows, and door locks all work as great. I am selling the car with a full tank of ethanol-free 91 Octane gasoline and a fresh service. It is ready to drive anywhere in the continental US or Canada.

Noted Porsche collector Magnus Walker learns what a TED Talk is firsthand
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Porsche collector Magnus Walker has the name and looks of a Viking, but once he starts talking about his life story and what drives him, he's an absolutely fascinating guy. Walker recently gave a Ted Talk at a Tedx conference at UCLA and claimed he didn't really understand the idea behind the speeches. You would never know it, though. Walker is as gifted a speaker as he is a talented restorer of some seriously cool Porsches.
Walker's talk is titled "Go with Your Gut Feeling," and it amounts to his autobiography. He recounts his birth in England, dropping out of school at 15 and moving to the US at 19. Once in Los Angeles, he started selling second-hand clothes and grew it into a fashion business.
Of course, what makes him interesting to us is his passion for Porsches. He fell in love with them when he saw a white 911 as a child at the Earl's Court Motor Show in England, but Walker waited until the '90s to buy his first one. From there he started racing and eventually restoring them. Since the documentary Urban Outlaw about him was released, Magnus has become famous for the love of the brand.
Porsche reveals new 911 GT3 R at the Nurburgring
Fri, May 15 2015On any given weekend, you're bound to find gaggles of Porsche 911s zipping around most any race track. Now Porsche has revealed its latest competition model at no less fitting a location than the Nurburgring. The new 911 GT3 R replaces the existing version, slotting in below the 911 RSR. It's based closely on the road-going 911 GT3 RS, and retains the same 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six with direct injection and variable valve timing, but tuned to deliver over 500 horsepower, transmitted to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential paddle-shift gearbox and mechanical limited slip differential. The wheelbase has been stretched over three inches for better weight balance compared to the outgoing GT3 R, further optimized by more lightweight components and a central radiator to lower the center of gravity. The lightweight bodywork is made of aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber, and for the first time all of the glass (including the windscreen) has been replaced by plexi. Stopping power is provided by six-piston aluminum monoblock calipers gripping 380-millimeter steel discs up front, with four-piston calipers and 372-mm discs at the back. The safety fuel cell can now hold 120 liters of fuel with a cut-off safety valve, the doors and windows can be removed, and the escape hatch is bigger, too. All of this adds up to the promise of a more competitive GT3 R ready to take on the competition, available to privateer racing teams from December for 429,000 euros before tax – working out to about $487k at current exchange rates. World premiere at the Nurburgring Lighter, more economical, faster: the new 911 GT3 R Stuttgart. Based on the 911 GT3 RS production sports car, Porsche has designed a customer sport race car for GT3 series around the world: The 911 GT3 R. In developing the more than 368 kW (500 hp) racing nine-eleven, special attention was paid to lightweight design, better aerodynamic efficiency, reducing consumption, improved handling, further optimised safety as well as lowering service and spare parts costs. Adopted from its production sibling, the 911 GT3 R features the distinctive double-bubble roof, and the wheelbase which had been lengthened by 8.3 centimetres compared to the previous generation. This ensures a more balanced weight distribution and more predictable handling particularly in fast corners corners in comparison to the previous GT3 R.
