I am selling my 1981 Porsche 928 with the rare options of 5 speed and the "Competition Group" package. This car is 1 of 458 made which this option and only 12% or so with the 5 spd. This package came out to wet the whistle of american buyers waiting for the 928 S to come out in 1983. It was equipped with a limited slip differential, Bilstein shocks, Recaro front seats, front and rear spoilers, a padded steering wheel, and flat faced forged 16" wheels which I do not have. The car is in overall good condition but will need some work. The odometer shows 115,000 or so miles. The motor runs and sounds great. It is the stock 219hp all aluminum V8. The gearbox is good but I am having a problem with what we think is the clutch. It will not engage all the way. I think the clutch disc has lost a spring or two and is blocking full movement, only guessing. The rear muffler is rotted. The body is in overall good shape with no rot. The paint looks good from 20 feet but up close it shows a lot of flaws. You can see a lot of rough touch ups and cracking in the paint. See pics. The interior is partially disassembled. The previous owner had the dash cluster and knobs and switches disconnected. Everything is there but needs to be plugged in and re-attached. The main gauge cluster got wet and has corrosion-I would replace. Alpine Cd player is there. A new console and dash cover was installed which is why everything is apart. Seats are faded but no rips and are not bolted in. All the carpet is there. Door panels are decent. Car looks good but needs work. You will not be driving it home. I can deliver locally to the right buyer. The car comes with a rare set of wheels from a 1994 928 S4 and are 17" with worn Dunlop S03 tires. The battery is holding on for dear life since it was dead for awhile. The center section of the front spoiler is missing. The car has all of the original Competition Group parts on it except the wheels. The Recaro seats are there but faded, not torn or ripped. The Limited Slip Differential is there as are the Bilstein Shocks. The padded steering wheel is there but not perfect. The car needs various little panels, trim, and carpet put back. I have everything except the console between the main one and the rear seat one. Door panels are good but need clips fixed.The car runs and drives and brakes work so it can be shipped with a national shipping company without problem. I will help deliver locally if it is close or do my best to help in getting shipping arranged all at my discretion but it is the sole responsibility of the seller to pay for and arrange shipping. As per Ebay rules, I will not end Auction early if there are any bids. Winning Bidder is the New Owner-not tire kicker when you show up. I suggest coming to see the vehicle before bidding ends so there are no issues on purchase. I have done my best to describe vehicle but ask me any questions if you need. Sale is as is, car needs work. Thanks

Porsche 959 Prototype started it all
Wed, 11 Sep 2013While Porsche was unveiling the new Nürburgring-dominating 918 Spyder downstairs in Hall 3 here at the Frankfurt Messe, there was another Porsche supercar quietly and discretely on display upstairs in the same hall. That, of course, was the 959. But not just any 959: this was the original Gruppe B prototype.
The 959 was first developed as a rally car in the early 80s to compete with the likes of the original Audi Sport Quattro S1, Ford RS200 and Lancia Delta S4. But Zuffenhausen soon saw its potential as a production road-going supercar, emerging as a technological marvel to challenge the decidedly linear approach of the Ferrari F40. It still stands as a groundbreaking supercar in its own right, but also lead to the first all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo and set the stage for the Carrera GT and aforementioned 918 Spyder that followed to cap the top of the evolving Porsche range.
This original Gruppe B prototype, which presaged the production 959, packed a 450-horsepower 2.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six into an even sleeker form than the final version that followed. We caught up with it on display as part of a display of 80s German classics, of which this 959 prototype immediately stood out as the pick of the proverbial litter. Check out the hotness in the high-resolution image gallery above.
Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera
Sat, 22 Mar 2014When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.
