If you want to (re)capture the thrill of the true Porsche driving experience, or are looking for a sound automotive investment, look no further than this beautiful Porsche 911 T Targa. The car belonged to the owner of a Porsche repair shop, who did the modifications. After that it spent several years in a private collection in Colorado, where it saw very few miles, but did garner some concours ribbons (included).

This car is so much fun to drive, and turns heads everywhere it goes. The distinctive white racing stripes on black are echoed in the interior with period correct Recaro sport seats featuring white leather inserts. The interior is beautiful; all carpets etc have been replaced.The clock is the only thing that doesn't work, but is intact and can be repaired (this is a typical issue). The car is fitted with a Momo steering wheel, but the original wheel is included. The body is solid with no rust, no filler. Even the battery boxes are fine and the car is currently fitted with a gel battery in the smuggler's box. Spare Fuchs is intact and included.The car has been fitted with a ducktail, and has the S option spoiler.

Handling is superb , as the car is fitted with Bilstein 'green' struts, after market adjustable anti-sway bars and a tower brace. Braking is also excellent due to the later model Carrera brakes which are currently fitted. The original S type aluminum calipers, disks and spare pads are included in the sale to maintain the cars authenticity.

Now to the drive train. This car flys! The transmission was rebuilt with a short track "airport" gear set which reduces the to speed to about 125 MPH, but it flys through the gears to get there. The 915 transmission is smoothest I have driven, and the kevlar clutch is new, flywheel was resurfaced, and transaxles rebuilt. While the engine was out I also had the engine resealed (gaskets, main seal) It has a short shift kit. The original engine has been bumped up to 2.7 litres, and the build was meticulous. I estimate this engine to have approx. 125 HP. Webber carbs were added, SC cams, turbo chains and valve covers, and upgraded chain tensioners. Ignition is via a Permatune unit with Nology wires. The car is equipped with SSI heat exchangers, and a dual outlet exhaust. The sound is intoxicating. The cars pulls strongly to redline at 7,300 RPM. With a weight to HP ratio close to 10:1 this car really holds it's own. Power is smooth through out the power band, but really comes on above 4,000 RPM. There is also a large front mount oil cooler with a Mocal thermostat and braided stainless steel lines.

These cars are rapidly increasing in value, and the 1973 911T was selected by Porsche to restore to be raffled in 2011 in support of PCA. A Porsche official at that time declared it one of the most collectible cars in the Porsche model line. I will trully miss this car and I am sure I will come to regret the sale, but my track car seems to take all my time (and money), so I hate to see this car languish in the garage.

The car is currently located in Ottawa Canada, and buyer is responsible for pick-up/shipping. if you have any questions please contact me and I will respond promptly.

On 17-Jun-13 at 14:52:25 EDT, seller added the following information:

Note: I made a few errors in the listing:

"transaxles rebuilt" should read "CV Joints rebuilt"

"125 HP" should read "225 HP"

I apologise for any confusion this may have caused.

Porsche Macan to get four-cylinder engines

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Porsche hasn't offered a four-cylinder engine since the 968 went out of production in 1995 - the better part of two decades ago. There'd been talk of a four-pot Boxster or an even smaller model to slot in below it, but while the latest intel indicates that Porsche is moving ahead with its four-cylinder plans, it's a different kind of vehicle that will get it first.
That, of course, would be the new Macan. Just revealed a few weeks ago at the LA Auto Show, the Macan crossover is being launched with a pair of twin-turbocharged V6 engines (a 3.0 with 340 horsepower and a 3.6 with 400 hp) and a six-cylinder turbodiesel with 258 hp. But smaller engines, according to emerging reports from Autocar and Auto Express, are on their way.
Word has it that Porsche is preparing a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 horsepower and a diesel with the same displacement and cylinder count, engines that will power new entry-level Macan models that will slot in beneath the existing Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan Turbo. While the diesel is tipped to be ported over from the Volkswagen parts bin, the four-cylinder gasoline engine is said to be under development by Porsche itself, which could mean it will have a boxer layout.

Watch Carrera Cup driver Connor de Phillippi's first lap of the N"urburgring

Thu, 23 May 2013

American race driver Connor de Phillippi was recently added to the roster of Porsche Juniors, the arm of Porsche's factory racing program that develops new talent. The 20-year-old is contesting the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland series with FÖRCH Racing by Lukas Motorsport, and last weekend, he raced the series round at the Nürburgring. Starting 15th on the grid, de Phillippi would cross the line in ninth out of 32 finishers.
Courtesy of his in-car camera, you can watch his entire first lap in the video below - there's no music added, just engine whine during nine minutes of crests, turns, bumpy straights and that wicked Carousel. Enjoy.

Porsche forum claims eco-friendly 911 Blu coming to Frankfurt

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The fiftieth anniversary of the Porsche 911 has been a nearly year-long affair, with unique tributes and even a special anniversary edition with plenty of retro throwbacks. The party is expected to continue through the end of 2013, and if one 911 enthusiast forum is right, we'll see yet another special edition model near the anniversary of the original car's September 1963 debut, when it arrives at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show.
It's called the 911 Blu, and where the 911 50 Years Edition was more expensive than a 911 Carrera S hardtop, the Blu would be an entry level special edition. That's right, a limited run car that actually slots in at the very bottom of the 911 range. According to Porsche forum 911UK.com, the new car would be priced at 74,600 euros ($98,718 at today's rates) or 64,750 pounds. That undercuts the price of a base 911 in Germany by nearly 16,000 euros and in the UK by nearly 8700 pounds (although to be fair, it's roughly identical to the price of a base 911 C2S in the US).
This 911 will reportedly feature a detuned flat-six with 300 horsepower and 211 pound-feet of torque.
