This has to be the best and most original unmolested Porsche 968 cabriolet in existence today. It’s a one careful owner gem.

It has only 14,560 miles showing. These vehicle were hand-built and this car has been kept in a climate controlled atmosphere all of its life, only being sparingly used on weekends and holidays by its Commercial Pilot Owner. This is the perfect classic Porsche for the discriminating collector who desires the best in the country.

With a perfect weight distribution (50/50), six speed manual transmission, large bore 3.0 liter engine, this 968 cabriolet is marvelous to drive, and of course it has the legendary Porsche reliability.

Having never seen inclement weather this beautiful red over black leather roadster looks brand new. You'll be hard pressed to find any physical signs of wear as there has never been a scratch or dent requiring paint work over its 20 year life. The paintwork just received the attention of our detail shop and $700 later (Yes I know, but they are the best) it looks like it should be in a new car showroom.

The interior shows no wear. The A/C blows powerfully cold. There are no chips or scratches in the glass. The rear window plastic and stitching look perfect and it gleams with no imperfections to the finish. The doors, hood and trunk lid align perfectly and close with the Porsche "thunk". The rims have no scratches and the Tires are 500 miles old. The head light glass, turn signal covers, rear tail light covers and tiny bumperettes (front and rear) are perfect. Every electrical and mechanical component works as it did when it rolled out of the Porsche factory at Zuffenhausen, Germany in 1992.

Hennessey Porsche of Atlanta just serviced the Cambelt and secondary Belt, (The second change it has had) so there is nothing to worry about mechanically. All fluids, Brake, Coolant, Oil etc have been changed last week.

It even comes with the factory supplied gloves in the engine bay compartment.

Included are 3 keys, original books, tools, air pump and extensive service receipt history. The vehicle obviously has a clean Carfax report and a copy of that will accompany the car.

In the 10 years we have been searching for an unmolested 968 convertible, this is the finest example we have ever seen. If you are a classic Porsche enthusiast looking for that special vehicle whose condition is considered "right out of the wrapper", this is your vehicle.

Only 2300 of these special 968 cabriolets were imported into the US from 1992-5. With most of them well used and with high miles, here is your opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Porsche treasure.

Personally I would treat it to a set of modern wheels and an MP3 payer, it has not been upgraded to preserve its originality.

China bans military license plates on luxury autos

Wed, 01 May 2013

Driving a vehicle with a military license plate in China provides many privileges. Legally reserved for official vehicles only, the designation apparently allows drivers to enjoy special liberties on the roads, including breaking traffic laws, filling up with free fuel and receiving light-and-siren escorts through congested cities. So attractive are the benefits that there is a secondary market for used legal and counterfeit plates - especially among those wealthy enough to afford luxury cars. But all of that is reportedly coming to an end, as President Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, is on a mission to fight corruption in his country.
A new license plate system goes into effect today, and it is designed to "maintain social harmony, stability and the reputation of the military," says the PLA Daily, the armed forces' official newspaper. While the abuse has been going on for many years, the internet has put the spotlight on the bad behavior, and the negative press does not represent the morals and true colors of the armed forces, say officials.
While military-plated Porsche drivers have been singled out as offenders, Bloomberg notes that all vehicles with engine displacements above 3.0 liters and with a sticker price in excess of about $73,000, will be banned from receiving military plates. This includes vehicles from Audi, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln and the Volkswagen Phaeton. Even if drivers are savvy enough to circumvent the new issuing system, the military has put technology at toll gates to catch users of counterfeit plates. There has been no word on the punishment if caught.

Watch the incredibly complicated operation of Porsche's new targa roof

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Despite Porsche having claimed the name, targa tops are nothing new. In addition to the semi-roofless version of the 911, plenty of cars in the past have used removable roof panels - the new Corvette Stingray has one (as have prior generations), and this type of open-air experience has been available on past vehicles like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Honda Civic del Sol.
But when Porsche took the top off its brand new 911 Targa here at the Detroit Auto Show, it was indeed cause for pause. Simply put, this is one of the most complicated and intricate electronic roof panel removal techniques we've ever seen, save perhaps, for the setup found on the Japanese-market Civic del Sol from the 1990s.
We won't spoil the video for you, but basically, rather than just the roof panel coming off, the entire rear glass area lifts away the body in order for the small section over the passenger compartment to slide back. This has to be incredibly expensive to repair once it inevitably breaks. And we highly doubt you'll be able to operate this mechanism at any speed.

Porsche 959 Prototype started it all

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

While Porsche was unveiling the new Nürburgring-dominating 918 Spyder downstairs in Hall 3 here at the Frankfurt Messe, there was another Porsche supercar quietly and discretely on display upstairs in the same hall. That, of course, was the 959. But not just any 959: this was the original Gruppe B prototype.
The 959 was first developed as a rally car in the early 80s to compete with the likes of the original Audi Sport Quattro S1, Ford RS200 and Lancia Delta S4. But Zuffenhausen soon saw its potential as a production road-going supercar, emerging as a technological marvel to challenge the decidedly linear approach of the Ferrari F40. It still stands as a groundbreaking supercar in its own right, but also lead to the first all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo and set the stage for the Carrera GT and aforementioned 918 Spyder that followed to cap the top of the evolving Porsche range.
This original Gruppe B prototype, which presaged the production 959, packed a 450-horsepower 2.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six into an even sleeker form than the final version that followed. We caught up with it on display as part of a display of 80s German classics, of which this 959 prototype immediately stood out as the pick of the proverbial litter. Check out the hotness in the high-resolution image gallery above.
