I am a Porsche Enthusiast. I have owned four different 911 models over the last 30 years. I am offering up for sale my 1997 993 Cabriolet Porsche. I purchased this vehicle in August 2011. Since I have purchased it, I have only logged 1000 miles in the last 22 months. Since I drive the vehicle very little, I have decided to sell it. To find this vehicle, I had searched for 6 months prior to buying this 993. I was very selective during my search as I wanted a low mileage, well maintained 993. I found this 993 pretty close to home in Michigan. The 993 presented here is a Michigan car with two previous owners. The first owner had owned the vehicle for a short time, less than a year. The second owner had owned the vehicle form 1998 to 2011. The second owner took very good care of the car. I purchased the car from the second owner. I was able to document the mileage and had a pre- purchase inspection performed prior to buying the vehicle. The pre purchase inspection included a leak down test and no issues were found. In September 2011, I took the car to an authorized Porsche Dealer in Birmingham, Michigan to have a complete 30,000 mile service check performed. At the time, I instructed the mechanic to evaluate the car and "spare no expense" to service the vehicle so I would have peace of mind. The mechanic ( whom I feel is the best air cooled guy in the area) drove the vehicle and said other than the 30,000 mile service, no other issues or maintence items were needed, that was 1000 miles ago. I have the invoice from the service and I will include this documentation with the car. This car has always been stored in a garage, it has never been driven in winter, let alone rain. The overall condition is excellent. The car has a clean undercarriage. The engine bay is very clean. The engine does not drip oil. All engine shrouds are in place. Nothing has been modified. The interior is in excellent condition. There are no rips or tears in any of the material. There is no wear on any of the leather surfaces. I have included a photo of the driver seat which shows the condition and lack of typical wear on the bolster points. The body is in very good condition. The paint is original and has a high gloss. I have included a photo of the front fender which shows the high gloss. The vehicle has been hand polished and hand waxed, always. There is no discoloration of the paint in any of the door frames or in the hood and engine compartment areas. There is one area behind the right rear wheel which has a light scratch. I have included a photo of the scratch, hopefully you will be able to see the area as it is a very light scratch. The cabriolet top is original to the car and is in very good condition. The top has been treated with Renovo Ultra Proofer every two years to insure the top remains waterproof. Water droplets still bead on the top. The cabriolet top is in excellent condition. There is one wheel that has two small chips in the finish. I have included a photo of this particuar wheel, all the other three wheel are in excellent condition, which I show one other wheel in a photo. The tires are in average condition of wear. The wheel openings are very clean and the brake calipers are clean and have the original gloss black finish. Everything on the vehicle works. There is nothing that needs to be repaired. Even the light in the engine bay works! The vehicle comes with the Cabriolet tonneau cover, wind screen, both keys, owners manual, original sales brochure from 1997, tool kit, tire inflator kit and all the paperwork and invoices that are in my possesion. My vehicle was listed in Excellence Porsche Magazine, in the Feb 2012 and again in the May 2013 ownership experience section of the magazine. This section of the magazine is about owning a Porsche and I wanted to share and document my ownership experience with other Porsche Enthusiasts. A new battery was installed in August 2011. There is no smoke from the engine when cold or warm. The windshield has no cracks or chips. The back plastic window on the Cabriolet top is clear and scratch free. Basically this vehicle needs nothing to enjoy but to be driven and maintained. The options on the vehicle are: 445 painted wheel crests, 454 cruise control, 490 hi fi sound, 551 wind deflector, 692 remote 6 disc cd. 233 I don't know what this option is, 329 CR 210 Radio, 398 five spoke 17 inch wheels, 437 full power driver seat. The car also has the Porsche Drive Block option, which is a theft deterent sysyem. I will make the vehicle available for inspection if you would like to look at it or have a professional perform an inspection for you. I will assist with any transportation arrangements including overseas shipment but at your expense. I reserve the right to end this listing early. I am selling this car as is. I will not make refunds or price adjustments after the sale. My cell number is 248- five six one- 5121, if you have questions about the vehicle. I will not disclose the reserve price, but I feel it is very realistic and in line with the current market conditions. I will require a $1000 deposit by paypal within 48 hours of the end of the auction( non refundable) I require the balance of payment to be made by wire transfer within 7 days after the auction and before the vehicle can be picked up. I have a clear title in hand with no security interest on the title. Good Luck

'Latest production version' of Porsche 918 shown off on Twitter
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Porsche posted a picture of what it is calling "the latest production version" of the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder on Twitter. It looks like the gasoline-hybrid supercar is being driven sportively on some California back roads during Monterey Speed Week.
Whatever updates were made to this version aren't visual (except for the paint), as the one Chris Harris drove last spring and another seen hot-weather testing in Nevada both had production bodies. We presume the changes are relatively minor and more than skin deep - perhaps brake calibration, suspension tuning or tweaks to the powertrain - but Porsche didn't release any more information.
The 918 Spyder is Porsche's latest supercar, which will compete with the LaFerrari and the McLaren P1 hybrid supercars. The Porsche may be the underdog of the group when considering horsepower, acceleration, top speed and price, but the 887-horsepower brute has the most advanced hybrid drivetrain of the three.
Noted Porsche collector Magnus Walker learns what a TED Talk is firsthand
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Porsche collector Magnus Walker has the name and looks of a Viking, but once he starts talking about his life story and what drives him, he's an absolutely fascinating guy. Walker recently gave a Ted Talk at a Tedx conference at UCLA and claimed he didn't really understand the idea behind the speeches. You would never know it, though. Walker is as gifted a speaker as he is a talented restorer of some seriously cool Porsches.
Walker's talk is titled "Go with Your Gut Feeling," and it amounts to his autobiography. He recounts his birth in England, dropping out of school at 15 and moving to the US at 19. Once in Los Angeles, he started selling second-hand clothes and grew it into a fashion business.
Of course, what makes him interesting to us is his passion for Porsches. He fell in love with them when he saw a white 911 as a child at the Earl's Court Motor Show in England, but Walker waited until the '90s to buy his first one. From there he started racing and eventually restoring them. Since the documentary Urban Outlaw about him was released, Magnus has become famous for the love of the brand.
2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.
