PORSCHE CPO with $132K Original Sticker…………….

 

2011 Porsche CPO Cayenne Turbo with Porsche Warranty until 100k miles or April 14, 2017. Nearly every conceivable option and all the important ones - as shown on the build sheet (see photos for details)………beautiful car…… owned by a Porsche devotee, no stories, always garaged, no paint, smoke etc.


What an amazing vehicle.  I purchased this CPO Cayenne from “The Exchange” – an authorized Porsche dealer located just outside Chicago.  I had been driving a 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo “S” that I was completely in love with (was still flawless with 118k miles…..) until I drove the 2011 Turbo……….an incredible leap forward in every way – performance, aesthetics, electronics, comfort and the BURMESTER -  if you like music just wait to you hear this stereo - it is rated as the #1 audio system available in a stock auto….. and see the interior………. Spectacular.

This vehicle has had no paint, no smoking, no bodywork etc.  Please note that this is a “used car” there are a few door dings and small stone chips that are hard to see and do not show up well in the photographs and a small spot the size of a nickel that is also hard to see in the photos on the rear bumper when someone "unknown" backed into it in a supermarket parking lot (leaving me with a cracked tail lens that I replaced).  Therefore I give the body a 9.5/10, the vehicle mechanically is a 10/10 – the interior is flawless and is easily a 10/10 and actually with the two-tome option it is better than 10/10 – purely gorgeous. 

I have both the summer carpets plus Porsche winter mats for the car and oil/filter and new tires were all done by Porsche at 29,000 miles – car was always Porsche serviced.  There is no curb rash on the wheels and the car is completely ready to be driven.

The mileage in the photos is the actual mileage as of today however I still use this car as my daily driver hence I added miles yet to be driven and this is the difference with the listing mileage.

I welcome and encourage all inspections, test drives etc.  – and here is a piece from Car and Driver on the 2011 Turbo…….. feel free to send me your questions - Eric

 

2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

Would purists have cried foul if the first Cayenne had been this good?

The torch-bearing mobs of outraged 911 purists have long since retreated from the gates of Porsche’s various corporate outposts, so we can only speculate that had this new Cayenne been the original offering back in 2003—rather than the ungainly original—initial response might have been more uniformly positive.

Then again, maybe not.

Be that as it may, here’s the Turbo version of the second generation, distinctly more attractive and better in about every way imaginable. Better in terms of usefulness, as in roomier. Better in terms of operating costs, as in improved fuel economy. Better in terms of dynamics, as in a more sophisticated balance between ride and response.

Defying Physics

Although the Cayenne’s improved appearance and superb interior are the elements that will attract eyeballs, a glance at the specs is also informative.

The second-gen edition is bigger in almost every dimension. It has a longer wheelbase (growing from 112.4 inches to 114.0), is longer overall (from 188.9 to 190.8), and is a smidge taller (from 66.8 to 67.0). The only diminished dimensions are width (from 77.0 to 76.3) and track, which shrinks at both ends—from 65.4 to 64.7 in the front and from 66.0 to 65.2 at the rear.

Yet the most remarkable entry in the new Cayenne’s specifications chart has to do with mass. Yes, like the other members of Clan Cayenne, the new Turbo is bigger. And like the others, it’s also substantially lighter. The last-gen Cayenne Turbo S, which finished second in our most recent comparison of high-end super-utes—falling to the BMW X5 M and besting the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and the supercharged Range Rover Sport—weighed in at 5305 pounds.

This latest test unit is 178 pounds lighter. And it’s 498 pounds lighter than the Cayenne Turbo we tested in September 2007. For sure, it’s certainly no wraith, but in an automotive world that registers weight gains with almost every vehicle redesign, score this one as laudable for Porsche.

The Cost of Pruning

As you’d expect, the Turbo’s rigorous diet entailed painstaking reengineering of various components—a new aluminum valve-timing adjuster, for example, is 3.8 pounds lighter than the previous piece—and more comprehensive use of lightweight materials, which add up to a minus at the scales. As you’d also expect, the use of lighter-weight materials, such as aluminum, magnesium, and composites, adds up at the cash register.

The base price for the previous Cayenne Turbo was $100,875, and $127,275 was required for the Turbo S. The new Turbo starts at $106,975, and there is no Turbo S version, at least not yet. However, aside from customers with an insatiable desire for excess in every category, almost everyone else should find that this vehicle satisfies his or her need for speed.

The Numbers

The new Turbo delivers its go power with distinctly improved fuel economy. Although the output of the 4.8-liter twin-turbo aluminum V-8 is unchanged from that of the first-gen model, at 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, the combination of less weight, numerous mechanical and electronic tweaks, and a new eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission gives the new Turbo fuel-economy ratings of 15 mpg city and 22 highway, up from 12/19.

 Proving once again that reduced mass is at least as important as horsepower in all-around performance, the new Turbo’s performance rivals the old Turbo S’s (which had 550 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque) at the test track: 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, the quarter-mile in 12.4 at 113 mph. The Turbo S hit those marks in 4.1 and 12.6 at 112, respectively; the previous Cayenne Turbo needed 4.8 seconds to reach 60 mph and 13.3 seconds for the quarter, at 107 mph.

Seduced, as usual, by the hydraulic torque surge of the Cayenne’s twin-turbo V-8, we achieved 15 mpg during our driving. But it’s clear that a more temperate use of the throttle would produce better results. Beyond three different driver-selected modes (normal, sport, and off-road), the eight-speed Tiptronic is programmed to adapt to the driver’s throttle behavior and adjust its shifts accordingly. Regardless of the chosen mode, the transmission’s shift response rivals that of many dual-clutch automatics.

Mass Management and the Inside Story

In the aforementioned comparison test, all hands were impressed by how well the Cayenne handled its substantial curb weight, and the biggest Porsche impresses even more in that regard in its lighter second generation. Cornering attitudes are level, grip is tenacious at 0.90 g, transient response is eager, and ride quality is firmly compliant, even in the adjustable suspension’s sport setting.

Beyond that, the steering is tactile and quick at 2.7 turns lock-to-lock, a marked improvement over the slightly numb setup in last year’s Turbo S. Braking, always a Porsche strong suit, is outstanding at 158 feet from 70 mph. If there’s any fault to be found with the Cayenne’s dynamics, it’s in the ambient noise levels, as in, “Omigod, I’m doing 90 in a 50 zone!” It’s quiet in there – too quiet.

We previously described the interior of the Cayenne Turbo S as “princely,” and that applies here as well: outstanding materials, intelligent control location and design, and form-fitting seats with a vast range of adjustability. The forward sightlines, enhanced by slender A-pillars, may be best in class, and vision in all quarters is excellent. Almost as important, there’s more room inside—including for second-row occupants, augmented by adjustable seats—and more room for cargo, a weak point in the previous Cayenne.

The Value Question

Given the state of the world economy, fuel prices, and mutinous rumblings from the green sector, it’s hard to defend vehicles like this. Even though the Cayenne's towing capability remains strong at 7716 pounds, its fuel economy has improved, and its general usefulness index is higher, the idea that something weighing more than 2.5 tons needs to cover a quarter-mile in 12.4 seconds is a tough sell to the guy driving a Prius. For that matter, it’s a bit of a tough sell among the super-utes, where the BMW X5 M checks in with a base price of only—only—$86,575.

Does that disparity bother you? If so, we suggest you avoid test-driving the Cayenne Turbo. We suspect that after a half-hour behind the wheel, your sense of value will be altered

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.

'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.
