Wake Forest, North Carolina, United States

Words barely give justice to the condition of my car. The photos bring you closer. However, this car really needs to be scene in person to realize it's condition and experience the love it's been given. Unfortunately, unless you are in North Carolina that's hard to do. I'll do my best to describe this car, and if you are a serious buyer, you will obviously want to call me. The turbo was a car that I had a chance to drive when it was new. It left an impression that I never forgot. Years later, I began my search to find the perfect pre-owned turbo. It took me over a year to find this car. I'm beyond compulsive about my cars, and that created the challenge to find this particular car. It was purchased new by one of Chicago's wealthiest families. It was then purchased with 11,692 miles on 3//22/1010 buy an owner that's as fanatical as me. I purchased it 6/28/2012 with 13,993 miles. It currently has 17,376 miles. The ownership and mileage history verifies that this car has only been taken out for special events. What's more impressive than the mileage and ownership history is the service history. The car has always been maintained to the fullest. A 30,000 mileage service was performed on 3/25/11 with 12,047 mileage on the odometer. This included plugs and coil packs, etc. I have all records since day one including the original purchase paper work. The one thing that I do not have is the original window sticker. Black is my favorite color and that ruled out several low mileage turbos because of less than perfect paint. The paint on the car is perfect. There are no webbings or blemishes on it. I can verify that neither I nor the previous owner has never taken it through a car wash. I personally, am the only one that details the car. I use Zymol wax, P21s wheel cleaner, Lexol leather food, and Rain-X for the glass. I've never applied Armor-all type products to any exterior or interior surface. 12/3/13, (17,179 miles) I had new Hankook tires installed, nitrogen filled, with a complete alignment. The car is always garage kept, on a car lift, and is covered. The color combination takes your breath away. It's rare to find a perfectly kept black car. The Savannah Leather really sets it off. The Seal grey and Silver cars are so common and somehow create less of a visual impact. I know that there are two camps out there on the transmission. I obviously love the Tip. The power is linear, it's easy to drive in traffic, and it will hold a gear in a turn. My personal driving style is NOT spirited. I think it's condition speaks for itself, but this car has never been tracked or abused. Because I'm looking for a very fanatical buyer I want to fully disclose everything about the car. There is a small nick by the ignition key that has been touched up. I have a photo of that. There is a "spot" not a dent or ding on the driver's side rear wheel well. You would not see it, if I didn't point it out, and even then you have to strain your eye. I took a macro photo of it as well. On the macro photo you will notice some pollen on the paint. I live in NC and we have a lot of it this time of year. You can see the pollen grains on the paint. The third thing is that that spoiler does not operate at speed. I rarely drive the car over 75mph and decided not replace the hydraulic rams. These three items are the only thing that I know to be less than 100%. The items would not have been noticed, but I don't want to hide anything. This is a very rare, immaculate car. The only reason that I'm selling the car is because it so nice. I can't take it out to enjoy it, because I don't want anything to happen to it. I'm hoping to find someone that will realize what this car has to offer and enjoy "looking" at it as I have. The car also comes with a factory Porsche car cover and a battery tender. You really have to drive and see this car!! |

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.
Autocar pits Porsche 911 Turbo S against Formula 4 racer
Fri, 20 Jun 2014There is a long-running argument among performance car fans: power vs. weight. In one corner you get cars generally with small engines making modest numbers but able to corner like they are telepathic, and in the other there are big thumping mills that are rocketships in a straight line but lumber in the turns. Autocar takes an interesting look this continuum in a recent video pitting a 552-hp Porsche 911 Turbo S against a 185-hp Formula 4 racecar. It hopes to find whether the Porsche's huge power advantage is enough to defeat the better grip and aero offered by the nimble racer.
There's no doubt that the Porsche is an utterly fantastic road car. The 911 Turbo looks mean with all of those intakes to suck in cool air, and it backs up the posture with huge amounts of grip available thanks to its all-wheel drive-system. However, at 3,538 pounds, it's a bit of a porker compared to the 1,135-pound Formula 4 car. The open-wheel car boasts just a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder from Ford and a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox, but it has loads of downforce to make up for it.
It shouldn't be a surprise that the formula car wins in the corners. After all, that's what it's made for. So do you think the massive horsepower superiority of the Porsche is enough to even the playing field? Scroll down to watch the video and find out, and even if you're not curious of the winner the 911 does some mean powerslides.
