1957 Porsche 356a Coupe on 2040-cars
Reading, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1957 all original 356A coupe started as a completely stock solid road car that has been modified in to a vintage race car. This car has a VSCCA log book and has raced in HSR, SCCA and VRG. The car is a turn-key, ready to go racing this weekend. The motor was built by 356 specialist Vic Skirmants. It is a fresh motor with no races on it (has been run to verify good oil pressure, no oil leaks, etc). The engine is set up to run Zenith carburetors and has dual oil coolers in the front of the car. The transmission is also Skirmants built with modified 2nd gear (and subsequent elimination of 1st gear) and Quaife limited slip. This is a best setup for road racing. A street transmission is also available and can be installed if you would prefer that. The Skirmants transmission cannot really be driven on the street because of the lack of 1st gear. The car will come with one transmission, one or the other but not both. Please be in contact with me once the auction is over. The car has been fully race safety certified which means the front suspension has been reinforced, a roll bar installed, a full cell installed and a battery cut off system. The car also features a racing seat, safety belts and quick disconnect steering wheel. The floor, longitudinals, battery box and interior of the car are solid and have no rust or damage. All of the windows are Plexiglas with the exception of the windshield.

This is why we love the Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer
Tue, 11 Nov 2014In the world of restomods, Singer Vehicle Designs is inarguably one of our absolute favorites. The company, founded by rocker Rob Dickinson, has made its name as an obsessive constructor of vintage, built-to-order Porsche 911s with modern internals and beautiful accouterments.
Xcar has put together a lengthy interview with Dickinson, covering the source of his fascination with the 911 and his passion for automotive design, before falling into his rock-and-roll days with his band Catherine Wheel. He also covers how he got into the world of modifying Porsches, rather than just restoring them. There's much, much more in the video, though, and we promise, you won't want to miss it.
Take a look.
This Porsche 356 family keeps it outlaw
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Rod Emory was the founder of Emory Motorsports in Burbank, CA, and the scion to a family tradition of building "outlaw" Porsches that are almost as cool as the cars themselves. The lovingly modified Porsche 356s are lovely artifacts, and their story, along with the story of their builders, is pitch-perfect for the Petrolicious oeuvre of beloved classics.
Tune in for the history lesson, and then stick around for the car candy.
All Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.
