There are cars that are at the exact right time to collect; there are cars you'll love to drive; and this 1987
Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is both. After all, this is the year the 3.2 was mated to the highly desirable
upgraded G50 five-speed, and while all 911s from this era are special, this baby is truly unique.
Porsche people probably picked up on some of the upgrades in the first glance. This roadster has been given a
widebody kit, dealer installed similar to the 1989 factory WBs. It's a far more sophisticated impression that feels
a bit European. The recent restoration was done by Magnum Motors of Marietta, GA famous for their high end exotic
auto services; and the only Porsche authorized body shop in the South East. The upgraded image looks fantastic on
the Artic White paint, with the classic blue leather interior and blue canvas top. You'll love how the sunlight
rolls off of all of this Porsche's legendary curves.
No other door opens with the same mechanical and deliberate sound like a classic 911 does. Enthusiasts turn around
when they hear that iconic 'pop' (yes it sounds crazy, but true.) And when people look, they will see a dark blue
interior that coordinates nicely with the rest of the Artic White car. You sit down in leather seats with the
racing sports steering wheel. Porsche's race-ready sensibilities means the tachometer is directly in front of the
driver. The rest of the instruments surround this in their own clearly marked pods to give you a comprehensive view
of what's going on with the engine. While this 911 is obviously a driver's car, it includes power windows and cold
air conditioning, though you rarely need it with the top down!
Beneath the rear hatch is the best part of any 911. The fuel-injected 3.2-liter Carrera flat-six was an exceptional
evolution of Porsche's legendary power plant. This is a performance motor that loves to intoxicate you with its
unique air-cooled song, and it's heightened even further with a deep bass exhaust. 1987 is a pivotal year for 911
fans, because it was again, the introduction of the G50 five-speed transmission. The combination of this engine and
transmission is so durable, that with proper care and maintenance, many of these era cars last over 250,000 miles
before a rebuild is needed! This was a much more robust gearbox base on which Porsche utilized to drive its sports
car reputation right up today.
From a driver's standpoint it gives you the confidence to take this baby on an adventure. And that's the whole
point of owning a car like this. The moment you find an open road, it's time to downshift and smile wide. That's
why it also comes with Porsche's legendary steering feedback, four-wheel disc brakes, and exceptionally wide, new
tires. So you'll instantly know why there is no substitute.
Here's a 911 Cabriolet nicely presented with all the right features. While the mileage seems a bit high, the G50
series are known to really hold up last for many years. This is the rare classic that proves you'll love driving
your collectables for many miles with no real problems!

The mid-engine Porsche backstory

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.

Porsche creates 'symphony' with seven generations of 911

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

At Porsche, things are getting a bit wild on the 50th anniversary year of the 911. To celebrate it (again) in yet another inventive way, the automaker has called on the musical talents of seven generations of the rear-engine sports car (please suspend your disbelief, at least for the length of the video, and assume that generation two started in 1974) to perform a song that has eight notes. We're wondering which 911 is pulling double duty...
But before the Porsches are lined up for the short recital, the drivers let loose and drift them inside a hangar. Watch the video below, and tell us in comments which was more impressive: the song or the drifting.

Porsche revisits its remarkable SC East African Safari rally car

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Porsche and motorsports just seem to go hand-in-hand. The brand has defined itself by its ability to compete on the track with the concept that racing bred better road cars. While we are used to seeing 911s speeding along circuits around the world, the rear-engine icon's success in rallying is somewhat less well known. The Porsche Museum aims to fix that by highlighting a 911 SC that competed in the 1978 East African Safari Rally.
The 911 rally car definitely projects a '70s vibe. You wouldn't see too many racecars with a pink brush bar sliding through the stages these days, but it looks amazing. Its bank of spotlights and two, giant, hood-mounted horns definitely give away the car's purpose. Best of all, that fantastic Martini livery defines the looks of Porsche racers from this era.
The 911 SC performed well in the East African Safari Rally, but some suspension damage meant that this particular one never raced again. It's been a part of the Porsche Museum ever since. Scroll down to learn a little more about one part of the brand's off-road legacy.
