2010 Porsche 911 Carrera S on 2040-cars
West Hartford, Connecticut, United States
More infos regarding my car at: nathanielnggarman@ukdealers.com .
Very rare and desirable color combination. Dark metallic blue with FULL leather in sand beige. You can see the
options list in the picture (PASM, heated seats, heated steering wheel, Bose, etc.). Over $103K MSRP when new.
I am second owner and purchased the car in 2013 with just under 13K miles as a certified pre-owned vehicle from
Porsche of Nashua NH. Warranty is transferable and good until Sept. 30th, so you can buy with the peace of mind
in having a car still under warranty. I have driven it about 17K miles and have had no issues with the car and
have had all service performed by Porsche of Danbury. Non-smoker, no accidents or damage and I have never driven
in snow. When I purchased the car I had an invisible bra installed which covers front bumper, full hood and
fenders, mirrors, headlights, inner arches, rocker panels, door cups. A couple small scratches (rear bumper guard
and a small one on sunroof - see pictures plus a small indent in roof). Car is in excellent shape. Clean Carfax.
This is the last of the 911's with a naturally aspirated flat 6 engine and hydraulic steering (better than the
current electric steering on the 991's). 6 speed shifts smoothly and adds to the enjoyment and driver
involvement. I have taken the car on trips up to 7-8 hours and it is a very comfortable highway cruiser. This
is the 997.2 model with 385 horsepower direct injection engine. 15 more than a new Carrera.

Will Roegge makes 4K art of Jeff Zwart's 911 build and run up Pikes Peak
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Will Roegge has turned his camera on Jeff Zwart and provided another gem, this time documenting Zwart's run up Pikes Peak and BBI Autosport. Bertim Besha dropped out of high school, then worked his way up to founding his own shop, BBI, that gathers a crew of tuners who are just as fastidious about their work as the customers are about their cars.
They prepped the 991-series Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Turbo, the product of combining a 911 GT2 that was the most powerful car Zwart drove up the mountain with a GT3 Cup that Zwart thought had the best handling. Two TiAL turbos and a lot of fettling make for a 3.8-liter flat-six with 700 horsepower, 700 pound-feet of torque and a 7,800-rpm redline. Zwart drove it to a heartbreaking second place this year, finishing less than 1.2 seconds behind the Time Attack 1 class winner when his car suffered its first mechanical issue of the week.
The first video below covers Besha, BBI and the build, the second is Zwart's run. As if the visuals weren't enough, sit back and enjoy the shrieking of the "Hill Climb Special," which is what the constellation Sirius would sound like if it could bark.
Porsche responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events
Tue, 13 May 2014Porsche has found itself in the good graces of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is pretty odd considering it's the only brand we know of that offers leather-lined vents. The activist group is praising the sports car manufacturer's handling of reports that some of its dealerships were set to feature tigers or tiger cubs at the local launch events for the Macan. Apparently, "macan" is the Malay word for tiger, which explains the connection between a highly touted crossover and a jungle cat.
A Tampa, FL dealership already displayed some three-week-old cubs, with PETA saying tigers for display should be at least eight to 12 weeks old. Even then, the group argues that the animals can suffer due to stress, malnourishment, neglect and a lack of veterinary care. The group brings up legal concerns, as well, arguing that if one of the cubs bit a customer, the dealership could be held liable (we're no big cat experts, but it seems unlikely a three-week-old cub could do that much damage).
Porsche's PR department quickly reacted to PETA's claims, with Vice President of Marketing Andre Oosthuizen, telling the group that Porsche is concerned about the "welfare of any animal, large or small, wild or domesticated." Oosthuizen's statements were reported in an official PETA blog.
Evo sets up duel of Porsche 911s
Thu, 20 Mar 2014What's better, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? That question has occupied auto enthusiasts for years, and so far, we've not really had a solid answer one way or the other. Evo has opted to take another whack at this tough question by pairing a pair of Porsche 911s against each other for a track battle.
In one corner, we have the two-wheel-drive 911 Carrera S, complete with the lickity-split PDK transmission, a sports suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. In the other corner, it's the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4S in a much mellower spec, with a seven-speed manual, as well as standard brakes and suspension. While the results seem like they'd be a foregone conclusion, some very British weather is there to act as the great equalizer.
We've got the full video down below. Have a look, and let us know if you agree with Evo's results.
