1957 PORSCHE 356A SPEEDSTER FACTORY BUILT BY VINTAGE SPEEDSTER, ORIGINAL OWNER WITH ONLY 21K ORIGINAL MILES. This beautiful little 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster Replica is an absolute blast to drive. Factory built by Vintage Speedsters out of California (The Number One builder of Porsche Speedster Replicas.) They are a California company that has built 90% of all of the Porsche Speedster replicas on the market and their quality is TOP FLIGHT! Vintage Speedsters uses a custom built, jig welded 2”x4” 11 gauge steel frame. This rigid new structure retains the original VW pan designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and integrates the largest frame possible. While the original Speedsters are certainly a rare breed, these Vintage Speedster replicas are rare in their own right with roughly only 3000 built. This one owner car was built in 2009. Even hard core Porsche enthusiasts would be easily fooled that this is not the real deal worth well over $100,000. These Vintage Speedster replicas are an amazing value and a blast to drive.  The body is in excellent condition and the paint still looks new. Body panel fit is fantastic and the doors on this car open and shut like a new Porsche. All of the chrome trim, badges, and glass look great. The black canvas convertible top is in great condition and is easy to put up or down as well as side windows that insert easily and a boot cover that give this car a very clean look when installed. The tan colored interior is a nice contrast to the black exterior and is in like new condition. All of the gauges, lights and turn signals are working correctly. A Beautiful wood steering wheel and a great sounding Sony Am/Fm/CD stereo with MP3/I-pod hook up, Kenwood amplifier and Alpine speakers add a nice touch to the interior. If needed this Speedster also has heat for those cool fall drives through the mountains. In the exceptionally clean engine compartment sits an upgraded 1915 cc, dual carb air cooled Volkswagen motor with 15 more horsepower than the stock 1600 cc motor and you can definitely feel it at the higher rpm range. The power is backed up by an upgraded 3:88 4-speed (Freeway Flyer.) transmission that shifts smoothly and takes this little roadster up to speed quickly and the front disc brakes will bring you back to a safe stop. Maintenance is affordable and any reputable auto repair shop should be able to handle the maintenance. The Undercarriage is clean and solid.

Porsche becomes first company to rent out Vatican's Sistine Chapel

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

We wouldn't go so far as to say God is a Porsche fan, but those in charge of one of the holiest Christian spots on our little blue marble are welcoming the German automaker into one of the religion's most revered and beautiful settings - the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. In so doing, Porsche will reportedly become the first company to rent out the holy hall for a corporate function.
Now, it's not like Pope Francis has signed off on Porsche doing do donuts in a 911 underneath Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. Instead, the Vatican has rented out the home of the Papal Conclave to the Porsche Travel Club, which will host a classical music concert. The Travel Club organizes events and tours across Europe for Porsche enthusiasts, with the Vatican concert just one part of a tour of Rome.
According to Automotive News Europe, Porsche will sell 40 tickets - at 5,000 euros each ($6,379) - to the event, while the Vatican has confirmed that the Pope will not be in attendance.

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S debut [w/video]

Fri, 03 May 2013



The Turbo S will dispatch the Nürburgring in "well under seven and a half minutes."
Porsche is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its 911 Turbo in the best possible way: by announcing the next-generation of the rear-engined beast. The 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S are here, and man oh man, do they seem like the business.

UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
