I met a guy who lives in Napa, CA with a cab in this color (I think they only made 12 cabs in Wimbledon green), and
fell in love with the color. About a year later I found one right down the street from me in Los Angeles and bought
it. It’s a great car with 114,000 miles, so when I found this one with only 50,000 miles, I decided to buy it as
well.
It had low miles but was parked outside in the Florida sun, so paint was faded, dash was cracked and hatch carpet
is worn. I removed the dash and had it recovered in leather. I got a quote for replacing the rear carpet but this
is the only thing that I did not get around to (see photos of carpet).
Recent maintenance:
All new Gates belts and rollers, cam chain tensioner pads, timing chain, valve cover gaskets (1/5/15)
New Yokohama S-Drive Tires (2/17/15)
New brake pads and rotors, front and back (1/5/15)
New euro front blinkers
Replaced stock seats with seats out of a 2013 Cayman (I still have the stock seats to go with the car,
if desired), and wired electrical to work correctly
Leather dash (Removed dash and had top recovered in leather)
Full re-spray at a shop that knows these cars, so had all new rubber seals replaced as well. Paint
looks like new.
Fluids changed: oil, brake fluid, and coolant (1/5/15)
Design 1 Racing short shift kit
I have a clean CarFax that I can provide, and recently passed California SMOG. Has the clear power steering
reservoir, which is very rare. I have original books and leather cover, and 2 keys. AC blows very cold, actually
colder than my other 968 for some reason that I would like to figure out.
I am only selling because I came across a 1993 Porsche 928 GTS 5 speed with 60,000 miles, and of course I still
have my higher mileage 968. This car is ready to go with all maintenance handled.

We get wet with Porsche's Cayman GT4 and 911 GT3 RS

Fri, Nov 13 2015

In case you missed them, we recently published our First Drive impressions on the super-hot 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 and the 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Spoiler alert: they're lovely. In order to properly test these new machines, Porsche let senior editor Alex Kierstein loose on Road Atlanta. But rather than a blissful day of warm, dry conditions, this test session proved to be a super gross experience. The track was soaked. But that didn't stop Kierstein from manhandling both coupes with confidence. Credit where credit's due, Alex said the tires on the GT3 RS were absolutely amazing, and proved helpful for getting the most out of the most hardcore 911 in these incredibly damp conditions. Have a look at Kierstein's experience in both cars, in the video above. We can't wait to get these bad boys out on some dry roads.

Porsche 918 Spyder to birth stretched 2+2 version?

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Porsche is known for its ability to spin off a litter of variants from a single model, and according to a report in Automobile the 918 Spyder (pictured here) might not be spared the house trick. Having taken too many brains and too much money for too much time, company chiefs are said to be examining ways to get more for their development euro out of the supercar, and Plan A is apparently otherwise known as Plan 984. That would be a four-seater, rear-wheel drive supercar that uses a stretched mold of the 918's carbon fiber tub, keeping the V8 in the same mid-mounted place and costing around 350,000 euro.
That would be less than half the MSRP of its inspiration, but the details don't sketch out a car that's just half as good. Automobile speculates it would get something like 700 horsepower in order to best the coming 911 GT2, and about 440 pound-feet of torque. The 984 is quite a ways short of being confirmed; even though a full-size study is said to exist, it's like the 918 would need to become a bigger sales hit for the 984 to happen.
The 984's fortunes don't change those of the 960, the supercoupe Porsche is building to challenge Ferrari. Its potential specs haven't changed since the last report in January, power coming from a 5.0-liter, twin-turbo, eight-cylinder boxer engine with something like 650 hp pushing a curb weight of roughly 3,100 pounds. The means a suspected 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of 2.5 seconds.

2017 Porsche 911 gains AWD traction for its turbos [w/video]

Wed, Oct 7 2015

The new 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (in all its numerous iterations) joins its downsized, turbocharged, rear-drive brethren, but adds the benefit of an electro-hydraulically controlled all-wheel-drive system. These latest additions to the 911 family feature all updates applied to the new Carrera, both cosmetic and functional. The rear-end bodywork is also widened by 1.7 inches, with a light strip running across the tail. There are two engine choices, but either way you're getting a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six. The base version produces 370 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, while the S model cranks up to 420 hp and 368 lb-ft. Then you'll need to choose your transmission: seven-speed manual or dual-clutch. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) suspension comes standard, but the Sport Chrono package (which adds a 918-inspired drive mode selector switch on the steering wheel) is an option. Four-wheel steering is available on 4S models as well. And of course you'll need to choose between body-styles. There are three in all: coupe, convertible, or Targa – each available in either engine tune. Those are largely the same choices you'd have to have made for the previous models, but now they're faster and more powerful, while delivering up to 12-percent higher efficiency. Zero-to-60 times are down 0.3 seconds over the preceding, naturally aspirated models: the Carrera 4 is quoted at 3.9 seconds, and the 4S at just 3.6. Convertible and Targa models add 0.2 seconds to those times, with top speeds ranging from 178 to 189 miles per hour. Pricing for the US starts at $97,295 (with delivery) for the new 911 Carrera 4, and stretches all the way up to $123,595 for the Targa 4S. Don't feel the need to rush your decision though, as the all-wheel-drive 911s won't start hitting dealers Stateside until April of next year. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

THE PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 4 AND 911 TARGA 4 MODELS WITH NEW TURBOCHARGED ENGINES AND ENHANCED ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEMS ATLANTA, Oct. 6, 2015 -- With the new 2017 911 Carrera 4 and 911 Targa 4 models, the traction advantage courtesy of an enhanced all-wheel drive system is paired with innovative turbocharged engines that are more powerful and consume less fuel than their predecessors.
