Porsche: 911 C4s on 2040-cars
Pine City, New York, United States
extremely rare 1998 Porsche 993 C4S This is the last year and model for air cooled Porsches and only 299 C4Ss were made. I am a collector of vintage Porsches and the current owner is a friend of mine, I am helping him out by selling it for him. He is the second owner and is a doctor living in NYC. He purchased to car as a daily driver and thoroughly enjoyed it. Many of the imperfections are common for cars driven and parked in Manhattan on a daily basis. From a mechanical standpoint, this example was maintained at a very high level and all work performed was done by Rennwerke and Paul Miller Porsche in NJ which are a noted and highly respected Porsche shops. That being said, this example is not in pristine condition. I would consider this to be a great driver. I am going to list every imperfection from the interior to the exterior. As all my personal cars are in #1 condition, I would like to share what would be needed to make this example perfect. To start, the entire exterior would need to be painted as there is some type of imperfection on every panel. I am talking about dings, scratches, crazing of paint, and chips. Left front headlight and parking light out (New replacements included) Broken driver side door check. cracked rear center light reflector. On the interior, passenger seat hinge guard broken and I would replace the carpet and have both front seats reupholstered. Please note that these suggestions are for the perfectionist who is purchasing this example for its rarity and to restore. The car is perfectly serviceable as is and can be driven anywhere. Original tools and jack, AC blows strong and cold. All glass is in great condition. Tires and rims are in great condition. (Few minor chips) Door panels, dash, and rear seats in great condition. Car runs great. New brakes at 59K, New alternator at 53K .

Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.
Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.
Porsche 918 Spyder debuts with new N"urburgring lap record [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013It's been a long time in the making, but Porsche has finally revealed the final production version of its long-awaited 918 Spyder here at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And yet that's not even the big news surrounding the hybrid hypercar.
No, the big news is that, while Porsche was preparing taking the wraps off the car here in Frankfurt, elsewhere in Germany a team was setting a blistering lap time at the Nürburgring. And not just any blistering lap time, but a new world record.
Porsche claims that, on the morning of September 4, a team of three drivers (including former rally champ Walter Röhrl and Porsche test drivers Timo Kluck and Marc Lieb) broke the Nordschleife lap record, Lieb finally setting the best time at 6:57 at an average of 111 miles per hour.
