Rare 1990 PORSCHE 944S2 Cabriolet NO RESERVE AUCTION! This is one of the rarest Porsche Convertibles built in the last 40 years (exception: Carrera GT) and an undisputed future collectible with excellent investment potential. A small Number of approximately 2,402 were brought to the US from 1989 until 1991. Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_944 . (This is why you never see them). The 3.0 Liter engine was the largest cylinder Porsche had ever designed and allows for a very high revolution (RPM) and Torque, yet allowing very good gas mileage (20-29 MPG.) Putting out an impressive 208 HP, this 16 valve double overhead cam normally aspirated engine has a top speed of 159 mph, Dual airbags, Rack and pinion steering, 5 speed rear mounted transmission to allow proper 50/50 weight distribution on all tires, LARGE 4 wheel ventilated BREMBO disc brakes, Alpine CD player and a sticker price of $55,000.00 in 1990! Always a southern California car with no rust, never in any accidents, it is in great running condition, and is in need of a nothing but a new owner. The good: 5 speed transmission with new clutch and torque tube installed by Dennis Sherman Independent Porsche in San Diego Californa in last 1500 miles. Black leather Interior, new Black top with new rear window. Strong motor with great compression, Cold AC recently serviced by Beck's Independent Porsche of Scottsdale Arizona, power windows, power door locks, Power steering, Good tires, good brakes (new rear break pads and E Brake pads), Drives perfectly straight down the road, All gauges work, intermitten wipers. electric trunk release. The bad: There is a small power steering leak (not bad enough to require immediate attention.) LED clock is broken. The center glove box plastic hinge is broken. (I purchased a new one, which is included, but the dealer gave me the wrong 944 glove box so maybe you can return for the correct one) The tachometer now works great but it was previously replaced with a professionally rebuilt display because the plastic gears had gone bad. see pic taken with car running. Everything works perfect now. (This is normal for the gears to need to be replaced at this age) There is a rip in the bottom of the driver seat. see pic. (Included in the sale is another leather seat to replace the portion with the rip) NADA Blue Book value on these cars (beings that only approx 2402 were ever brought to the US) is only $13000 to $19000. NO RESERVE AUCTION. You could own this Porsche for a lot less! ABOUT THE 1990 Porsche 944 S2 16Ventiler Cabriolet: In 1989 the 944 S2 16Ventiler was introduced, powered by a 211 PS (155 kW; 208 hp) normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0L version of the 944S engine. With a bore of 104 mm (4.1 in) and a stroke of 88 mm (3.5 in), it was the largest production 4-cylinder engine of its time. The 944S2 also received a revised transmission and gearing to better suit the 3.0-liter M44/41 powerplant. The 944S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the Turbo model. This was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the fender and hood profiles would merge smoothly with the bumper, a timeless design feature that has only now seen widespread adoption on the 1990 onward production cars. Performance was quoted as 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds (0–100 km/h 6.8 s), with a top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph) via manual transmission. In 1990 Porsche released the 944 S2 Cabriolet, a first for the 944 line which featured the cabriolet body built by ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg Germany. Porsche produced units for all markets including right-hand drive for the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. The 944r was raced around the world and in the British championship called the Porsche Motorsport Championship. To this day, the 944S2 is a very popular track car due to its perfectly Balanced Weight Distribution and Light Weight to Engine Horse Power ratio. Production was limited to three years; 1989, 1990 and 1991. Additional Information: If you are looking for a timeless car that is unique, rare, and rivals the spirit of Ferrari and Lamborghini of that year, this is it. Clean, Collectible, Convertible ....and hey, it's a Porsche! What more could you want in the way of a great weekend car or daily driver. This beautiful black 944S2 has been very well maintained and has all the right options to get you to your destinations in style and comfort. Additional features and options include; 3.0L I4 Engine, 5 Speed, RWD, ABS Brakes, Front Airbags, Fog Lights, Owners Manuals, Power Windows/Mirrors, Spare Tire, Tire Tools, Only 1,824 S2 Cabriolets were exported from Germany to the US in 1990. 24 years later it is not easy to find one still this nice! Mechanically the car runs and drives as good as it looks. Powerful and smooth. Quiet. No leaks and no unusual noises. The clutch, transmission, and brakes all function perfectly. All the engine rubber hoses are in excellent shape and flexible. (no dry rot) The exhaust is stock and sounds good.

Excellent Factory Porsche 17 inch Turbo wheels which carry a wider stance and fill the wheel wells perfectly. There are no major dents, scratches, dings, or stone chips in the body. (there are however a few very small scratches and stone chips that are not noticeable.) This car has never been in an accident with the exception of a small dent in the quarter panel back in 1991. This was professionally repaired by the Porsche Dealer in Beverly Hills California. The underside is as clean as the topside of the car. No rust at all, anywhere. This car has never seen winter, road salt, rain! The convertible top is in excellent condition (paid $2,000.00). No wear and no tears. The back window is clear and perfect. The top is excellent and the tonneau cover is as new. The interior has the leather upholstery option. It is in almost perfect condition with exception of the driver seat having a rip in the bottom. see pic. The dash has no cracks or fading.(always stored indoors) All of the switches and warning lights, instruments and controls work as new. The rear seat has never been used. And the passenger seat has no noticeable wear. The driver's seat is missing a small trim cover at the outer hinge. It does not affect the performance of the seat in any way. The power seat bolsters work perfectly, and the sliders and recliners work as new. The car has an after-market Alpine AM/FM/CD player. The speakers are upgraded. No holes or modifications have been made to the interior at all. The heat and air conditioning systems work as they should. The cruise control, power windows, and door locks all work as great.

2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
Porsche gives GT3 owners extra year of warranty, new engines in production April 22
Sat, 12 Apr 2014While the auto industry reels from massive recall after massive recall, Porsche has quietly been working on a fix for an issue that's forced owners of the new 911 GT3 to park their track-ready rockets for fear of an engine fire. Thanks to a leaked letter from Porsche to a GT3 owner (which has been certified as real), we now have an idea of just where the German brand is at with the fix.
On April 22, Porsche will begin production of a new batch of GT3 engines for the 785 affected models across the globe. As you'll recall, the original issue rested with a screw joint that could loosen the connecting rod. The new engines have an "optimized piston rod screw connection," that should keep the connecting rod in place. Once technical validations are completed, production will kick off and new powerplants will be shipped around the globe for owners of the troubled cars.
Porsche will hand out a certificate to owners of affected cars once repairs have been completed, as a means of documenting the work. To make up for the trouble, Porsche will be giving owners an extra year on their new-vehicle warranty, while the 911 GT3 concierge will be reaching out to compensate them for having to park their car for so long.
Porsche 918 Spyder already almost sold out?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Still planning on getting your hands on a Porsche 918 Spyder? You'd better act quickly, because word has it that the hybrid hypercar is nearly sold out.
While Porsche has reportedly only delivered a little over 30 of the 918 examples of the Spyder it plans to manufacture in total, Automotive News says that production is sold out through late March or early April - just a few months shy of when production is set to wrap in July.
That's pretty impressive for a car with a base price of almost $850,000, especially one requiring a $200,000 deposit just to get your name on the list. Still, that sum is significantly less than its competitors get for the McLaren P1 or LaFerrari, both of which sell for over a million (if you can actually get on one at that price), though in fairness, production of each is limited to less than half of the 918 Spyder.
