1994 Porsche 911 Strosek on 2040-cars
Mount Dora, Florida, United States
More details at: bettiebkkiernan@ipswichfans.com .
With less than 8,000 original miles, this 2
owner 1994 Porsche Speedster is among the rarest Porsche's available anywhere, try finding another one for under
$150k, you won't! It was purchased new in South Florida by famed Hawaiian artist Christian Riese Lassen who
didn’t want just another Speedster, he wanted something special, a Porsche that no one else had, so he
commissioned South Florida custom Porsche builder Prototech to modify it into a one of a kind Strosek Turbo S
Speedster. No expense was spared to build this masterpiece, including upgrading the original motor to a stage III
turbo charged motor producing over 500hp! Once you have driven this Speedster, the stock version just doesn't do
it. Additional upgrades include, complete custom leather interior with matching red stitching on door panels, dash,
original sport seats, and shifter knob, RUF design steering wheel and pedals. HID headlights, custom built speaker
boxes wrapped in leather that fit perfectly behind the seats, and on the door panels to complement the Alpine sound
system. The car is fitted with Kinesis 3 piece polishes wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 335/35 ZR 18” rear and
265/35 ZR 18” front tires. The brakes have been upgraded to Porsche Turbo S “Big Reds” Calipers and cross
drilled rotors. This is one of only 16 Tiptronic Speedsters ever made adding to its rarity. I purchased the car in
2002 with only 5,800 miles on it, as soon as I received it I sent it back to ProtoTech for a front to rear
inspection and additional upgrades. I have primarily used it for exotic car shows where it consistently “stole
the show”. In fact, whenever a stock Speedster was next to this one spectators wouldn't even bother to look at
the stock one, of course that never sat well with the proud owner of the stock version. This car has been
meticulously maintained and in showroom condition. Because of the extraordinarily low mileage, and the rapid
increase in demand and value for 1994 Speedsters, the new owner has the option to keep it as is, or return it to
its original factory condition. This is the perfect addition to your collection, don’t let it get away. Will
consider a trade for high end exotics (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Austin Martin ect.) of equal value.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Porsche's former CEO Wiedeking to stand trial over VW-share manipulation
Wed, 27 Aug 2014Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (left in the above photo) could potentially be facing some time in the slammer after all. The last we had heard, he and former Chief Financial Officer Holger Haerter (right) had avoided a trial in April due to a lack of evidence. However, an appeals court in Stuttgart has looked at the case again and overruled the earlier decision, finding that the executives should be tried for share manipulation during Porsche's failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008, Bloomberg reports.
The judges in the appeal "list numerous indications that could suggest that there was a hidden decision to increase the stake as they could suggest the opposite evaluation by the lower court," said Stefan Schueler, a spokesperson for the court, in a statement cited by Bloomberg. Wiedeking and Haerter put out their own releases saying that there was no merit to the charges.
The prosecutors allege that Wiedeking and Haerter had a plan to buy up VW stock options in 2008 to take the automotive giant over but hid it from investors. The whole thing was a massive failure and eventually allowed VW the chance to acquire Porsche and forced the two execs to step down. In addition to the criminal investigation, hedge funds have attempted to sue the company multiple times in civil court for the same reason, but they have repeatedly failed.
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.
