Porsche 550 Spyder - Recreation By Vintage Spyders on 2040-cars
Taneytown, Maryland, United States
|
This is a solid recreation of a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, tube frame and all, built by Vintage Spyders in 2003. The race number, 351, is that sported by Hans Herman, while driving a 550 to a class win in the 1954 Mille Miglia. (I'll leave out the James Dean owner/racer references) The numbers are 'static cling' and easily removed, although I think they add to the car's patina. It's a very attractive vehicle, drawing admiring looks, wherever it goes. Powered by a 2300cc, air cooled, race-bred, flat 4 produced by CB Performance, this car is like a pair of good sneakers, with wheels! The engine is rated at 165 hp and moves the less than 1500 lb vehicle in a 'spritely' manner. (translation: it's a blast!) Recent full engine tune insures all the horses are engaged, and multiple small tweaks make the overall package more fun than should be allowed. (includes a re-aligned shifter, the better to downshift and get that authentic pop, pop out of the single, large diameter tailpipe - insert 'grins') Also, if for some unknown reason you want to slow down, the optional 4-wheel disks do a great job. An excellent tonneau cover, car washing tested, is included. For those who may want to go-beat-the-other-guys in a 'friendly' game of autocross, a substantial roll bar is also part of the deal. Want looks, performance and big grins, this car offers them all!! Ask any questions you want, and I will answer them in a timely and honest manner, to the best of my ability. Please note that this car will be sold, in the near future. Increasingly troubled right knee forces this unwanted decision. Thanks for your interest. |

Heidi Klum and Maserati go Beyond the Swimsuit for Sports Illustrated
Sat, 22 Feb 2014When sports and cars come together, the world "super" often comes up - whether it's a high-performance super sports car, a racing series (like Japan's Super GT, Australia's V8 Supercars or Italy's Superstars series), the latest crop of Super Bowl ads from the world's automakers or a supermodel posing with a car in the pages of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
This year's edition already saw Lisalla Montenegro cozying up to the new Lexus RC F, but it's not the only pairing to be found between an import luxury performance machine and a swimsuit model. The new 50th anniversary edition of the popular bikini special features a seven-page pictorial titled "Beyond the Swimsuit" shot by Francesco Carrozzini.
The spread features the inimitable Heidi Klum posing beside and inside various Maserati models - including the new Ghibli S Q4, the GranTurismo MC Trofeo race car and the Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna concept. Of course it's not the first time we're seeing a leggy blonde stepping out of Modena's finest - a role often taken up by one Jodie Kidd, to say nothing of the rich and beautiful in exotic locales the world over - but it's a pairing of which we'll never grow tired.
Maserati rapidly expanding dealer network
Mon, 13 Oct 2014With the new Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans out on the market, and the new Levante crossover and Alfieri coupe on their way, Maserati is making serious headway towards revitalizing its lineup. Now all it needs in order to reach its ambitious sales targets is to expand the network of dealers where they're to be sold. And according to Maserati chief Harald Wester in speaking to Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, that's exactly what it has in store.
At the end of last year, Maserati had 79 dealerships across the United States. It has already boosted that number to 100 so far this year, but before 2014 is over, it plans to open another 20 to bring the total up to (carry the two, divide by the square-root of Pi)... 120 showrooms.
Globally speaking, Maserati reportedly closed 2012 with around 220-230 dealers around the world, and currently has about 355, but aims to close 2015 with a worldwide network of 450 dealers, representing a doubling of its network in two years' time. Having more than a quarter of those in the US alone is testament to how seriously Maserati takes the American market.
Maserati Alfieri Concept lands on US shores ahead of 2016 production model
Sun, 17 Aug 2014America, meet the next sports car from Maserati. This is the Alfieri Concept, and it made the trip from Europe to make its US debut during the 2014 Monterey Car Week.
The two-door originally made its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, and has since made an ear-pleasing visit to the UK before it arrived at today's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
For those that need a refresher, the Alfieri is a 2+2 that will, when it arrives in 2016, be available with a 410-, 450- or 520-horsepower V6, with the latter two power levels coming with an all-wheel-drive system. The Alfieri Coupe will be joined by a convertible in 2017.
