1980 - Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Wilson, North Carolina, United States
1980 Porsche 911SC Coupe. This is a really nicely set up sport street/track toy. As you would expect, it's everything great that an aircooled 911 is, just lighter and more focused. I've put about 800 street miles on this car and can certify that it's a blast. It's tighter, faster and a bit louder than a stock car, but not to the extent that you feel beat up after a drive. Cosmetically, the car shows very well. The paint is not perfect, but is very nice with only a few minor blemishes. Both the front and rear bumpers along with the rear deck are lightweight fiberglass units. The interior has also been given a sport treatment with adjustable sport seats, RS carpet kit, RS door panels, and a roll/harness bar. I think it's an ideal set up, you can fling it around corners on the weekend and drive to work on Monday. Mechanically, The motor and gearbox were rebuilt by the prior owner in the middle 2000s, and the car has only been driven about 10k miles since that time. Along with a rebuilt 915 gearbox, motor highlights include: JE 10.5/1 pistons EBS rebuilt oil pump Link+ Engine management system ARP Head Studs Lightweight aluminum clutch Elgin C2 Cup cams New Rod/main bearings Carrera intake manifold M&W CD ignition SSI Heat exchangers and sports exhaust Carrera Chain tensioners. Dyno proven 225 RWHP In addition to the drive train improvements, a sport suspension and 964 breaks have been fitted to round out the package. If you are looking for or contemplating building a sports purpose 911, you could spend 25k+ on a good coupe and sink countless hours and another 25k into getting the car to this point.

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS takes center stage with Petrolicious
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Today, one of the most exciting track toys available is the Porsche 911 GT3. Its forbearer, though, was an altogether different beast that was every bit as exciting. Yes, we're talking about the old 911 Carrera RS that blessed the early 1970s. With a mere 1,580 cars built, meant specifically to satisfy the FIA's homologation requirements, the RS is one rare pre-Malaise era cars.
Complete with a 2.7-liter flat-six engine, this RS of Mark Haddawy is one of the earlier examples of the breed (later cars received a larger, 3.0-liter engine). Still, it can scamper to 60 miles per hour in a very respectable 5.6 seconds and will happily hit 150 mph in a straight line. Sporting Porsche's iconic duckbill rear spoiler, the equally iconic Fuchs wheels, as well as slew of options, as Haddawy points out, each of the nearly 1,600 RS models is its own unique iteration on the Porsche performance formula.
Take a look below for the latest video from the crew at Petrolicious.
Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
Porsche 911 Targa Turbo for Geneva debunked, 919 Hybrid and 911 RSR racers coming instead
Fri, 28 Feb 2014Porsche has proven adept at making sure there is a version of its venerable 911 for practically any wealthy driver's desires. If you just want a great all-rounder then buy a standard 911; open-air driving, then the Cabriolet is for you, and if you need a compromise between them, there is even the new 911 Targa.
Gossip earlier this week surfaced on various websites that at next week's Geneva Motor Show, Porsche had designs on introducing an even higher-performance Targa variant, a Targa Turbo. The rumored mashup would combine the wide body from the 911 Turbo with the super-complicated power roof from the Targa (see right). Assuming no changes in power, that would mean 520 horsepower or even 560 hp in a Targa Turbo S model. Unfortunately, we're hearing that this tasty bit of scuttlebutt is incorrect. Autoblog asked Nick Twork, Porsche North America Product Communications Manager, about the rumor, and his response couldn't have been clearer: "Totally false."
Twork did elaborate that company will be "debuting the Porsche 919 Hybrid, our new LMP1 race car" at the Swiss show, and Stuttgart has also announced this morning that will show its 911 RSR racecar, too - either of which we reckon is a lot more exciting than another Targa variant.
