You are bidding on a 1963 Porsche Type B Ruetter Cabriolet with a Super-90 Engine. This classic open-top Porsche has had an older restoration but it is in excellent condition. The exterior is white (factory color was grey) with a factory red interior and a new black top. Of 9208 total 356 cars built in 1963, only 933 were cabriolets and 25% of the cabs had the most powerful Super-90 engine. This car appears to have no rust. The paint is good with a few small chips. Chrome door handles have minor pitting. The hub cap crests are original and have minor wear. The minor cosmetic defects could be easily fixed but I left them to illustrate the genuine nature of the car as so many 356 cars are fakes. The interior shows look great with minimal wear and the red upholstery has no defects and includes both headrests. The rear floor mats and bonnet tray are new. Original type radio. Original steering wheel. The car has an original 6V electric system, new bulbs in most sockets. Mechanically the car started easily but it has not been driven for two years and was only driven for short excursions in dry weather. The Solex PII-40 carburetors were rebuilt. Oil pressure lines, oil filter, spark plugs, ignition cables, coil, and engine rubber seal are new. The gas tank was acid washed and flush-the fuel cock has been removed. An extra fuel pump is available. I have a certificate of Authenticity from Porsche of North America which shows the factory original specifications and I have the original new car Porsche pamphlet. The chassis number is 158236. Engine number is P-8033592, case 616.07.85) which is the correct Porsche Type B period and type (1961), but not the original engine from the factory. The odometer shows about 36,000 miles but the true mileage is unknown. This is an excellent opportunity to own and enjoy an appreciating, quality, collectable classic Porsche. I love the car and hope you will too.

Porsche 911 GT3 wows the crowds in Geneva
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Porsche has a long and storied history of taking its range-topping 911 sportscar racing, with an enviable record of achievements in tow. The latest machine with which the automaker will take to the track can be seen above: the fifth-generation 2014 911 GT3.
With 475 horsepower strumming through the 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, this is the pinnacle of naturally aspirated performance from Porsche. It can go from 0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds, hit a top speed of 195 miles per hour and has lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than seven and a half minutes.
A dual-clutch PDK transmission (no standard manual gearbox will be offered) with shorter gearing than lesser 911 models sends power to the rear wheels. Providing forward motion isn't the only thing those rear wheels will be doing - Porsche says the 2014 911 GT3 is fitted with the manufacturer's first active rear-wheel steering.
Porsche announces works team for United Sportscar Championship
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Porsche is undoubtedly the most successful manufacturer in sportscar racing, and it's only upping its game. The German marque is launching its new LMP1 racer for Le Mans in pursuit of overall victory once again, and now that sportscar racing in North America is coming together under one banner in the United Sportscar Championship, Porsche has announced it is entering the fray with a works team here as well.
The new Porsche North America racing team will field two cars in the entire inaugural season of the Tudor United Sportscar Championship that's been formed out of the former Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. The team will be based out of the Porsche Motorsport North America facility in Santa Ana, California, and will partner with three-time ALMS LMPC winners Core Autosport in getting a pair of the latest 911 RSR racecars to the front of the GT Le Mans class.
Drivers have yet to be announced, but are projected to be drawn out of Porsche's factory driver program, which includes such talents as Patrick Long, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas and Neel Jani. Keep reading below for the official announcement.
Techart modified Porsche 911 Turbo S packs 620 hp, 0-62 in 2.8 seconds
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Considering how many absolutely ridiculous tuner cars are featured in Geneva (stay tuned to see plenty, as our coverage continues), it's often refreshing to see some of the more modestly modified cars, like this new Porsche 911 Turbo S from the folks at Techart. Visually, there's a subtle body kit, new wheels, a new spoiler, and some lame decals on the front end, but it basically ends there. That's because Techart's mission is really about higher performance. Increased dynamism, as the Germans say.
An ordinary 911 Turbo S produces 560 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. But the Techart kit adds 60 hp and 96 lb-ft to those already high numbers, for a coupe that dishes out a total of 620 hp and 612 lb-ft. Techart says that, in Sport Plus mode, its modified 911 Turbo S will accelerate to 62 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds, and the top speed has been increased to 204 miles per hour. Crazy stuff.
To further drive its performance upgrades home, Techart has fitted this 911 Turbo S with a sport exhaust system with valve control, for a more robust exit interview, at the push of a button. We imagine it sounds awesome. Have a look at the Techart Turbo S in the gallery, above.
