Up for bid is a 1994 Porsche 968 coupe. The car has 151,490 miles, but the engine only has about 130,000. The engine

is out of a 1994 968 Cabriolet. The engine was replaced because someone installed the flex dampener incorrectly and it

pushed forward on the crankshaft and wore the crankshaft thrust bearing.

The hatch was just rebuilt using professional Sika System components. We removed the hatch glass from the frame, and

completely removed all the old glue and primer. The new primer was airbrushed on, and the hatch glass reglued into the

frame. It looks amazing, and should not separate like the stock primer. The Sika System uses an activator which allows

the primer to bond into the glass, not just stick to the surface. The hatch is car color, which was an option, not the

normal Rally (satin) black. A new left side spoiler trim piece was installed when we restored the hatch.

The car runs and drives great. Everything works perfectly except for the cruise control, which is typical for the 944

and 968 models. If you engage the cruise control, the car wants to go 70MPH, and won't reset to a different speed. The

A/C is R134A and blows ice cold. The car has a factory alarm which works perfectly. The hatch and hood shocks all work

great.

The car has an Autothority performance chip installed, and believe me, you can feel the difference from the stock

chip.

I have installed loads of new components on this car in the 6 years that I have owned it. Here's a rundown of what I

can remember off the top of my head. Porsche factory motor mounts, Koni Sport adjustable shocks, left side hatch

spoiler, rear taillight assembly, one of the foglights, rain gutter trim, drivers door handle, door handle gaskets on

both sides, ground effect trim on both sides, hatch seal, inner sunroof seal, antenna mast, washer filler seal, outer

window scrapers, headlight pods, voltmeter/oil pressure gauge, all four dash trim pieces, rear bumper pads, cassette

tray hinge, all horn switch components, radiator, various cooling hoses, and metal glove box sliders to replace the

crappy factory plastic units. I added the front and rear engine bay covers which they didn't install on all the 94

cars.

The car has leather seats, leather steering wheel, leather emergency brake handle, leather shift knob, and a leather

cassette tray lid.The driver's seat is power adjustable. The interior is in great shape for a 94. There was a small

split in the driver's side seat bolster, but I stitched it up to prevent it from splitting any more. The carpet is in

great shape, and has always been covered with factory floormats (I took them out for the pictures). The rear cargo

cover is perfect with no rips or tears. The dash has the typical cracking from the sun.

The paint on this car is not perfect. It has been my daily driver 50% of the time for the last 6 years (I drive my 968

cabriolet in the summer). There are rock chips, a scrape in the front bumper cover, there are a few small dings in the

fenders, and the paint has been buffed through the top layer in a few small spots. With a coat of paint and a little

interior work, this car would be perfect. I want to give an accurate representation of the car. I don't want the buyer

to be disappointed. If you have any questions, please ask me before you place a bid. The tires are old and worn, and

should be replaced. The timing and balance shaft belts have about 20K on them.

This car is a lot of fun to drive. It handles amazingly, and will not disappoint you in any hard cornering situation.

The tiptronic transmission is great in rush hour, and when you kick it down to second on the freeway, it really gets

up and jumps. When you switch it over to manual shift mode, it is extremely responsive. I went from driving my 5 speed

944 to this car, and I did not miss wearing out my left leg running that clutch all the time.

Porsche confirms four-cylinder Boxster, Cayman replacement for US

Wed, May 20 2015

Those who've been anxiously awaiting the return of the four-cylinder Porsche will be glad to know that the wait is almost over. What's more, the quad-pot Porsches won't be kept away from US showrooms but will form an integral part of the company's North American strategy. Confirmation comes courtesy of Automotive News, which spoke to the company's chief executive Matthias Muller about its return to four-cylinder power. "First of all, we will have it in the Boxster and Cayman successor," Muller told AN. "And then we will see how it works and how successful it is and how the customers will react on that, and then we will take the next decisions." The model to which Muller refers is expected to be the 718 – a new line taking the place of the Boxster and Cayman, ostensibly allowing Zuffenhausen to start from scratch rather than "downsizing" the engine on existing models. The new range is anticipated to launch sometime in the middle of next year. Porsche is currently offering a 2.0-liter inline-four with 234 horsepower in the Macan (which we get with V6s) for certain markets overseas, but the 718 is expected to get a new flat-four 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements with output edging up to 395 horsepower. The last time Porsche offered a four-pot in the US was with the front-engined 968 that wrapped up production two decades ago, but it hasn't offered a boxer four since 1976.

First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.

Porsche digitally dissects its 918 Spyder for your viewing pleasure

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

At this point, you'd think we'd know all there is to know about the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder - except what it's like to drive - but Porsche has released a new video giving us a more in-depth look at its new plug-in hypercar all the same. The animated video gives us numerous cutaway looks at the 918 Spyder while giving a visual demonstration of the car's four hybrid driving modes.
Though nowhere near as exciting as watching the 918 blast around the Nürburgring in record time, this new video is nonetheless both interesting and informative. Scroll down to watch the video yourself, and be sure to check out our live gallery of the production version of the car along with a stock gallery.
