1971 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars

1971 Porsche 911T Hotrod Targa
Originally I purchased this car with a vision to create a drivable work of art which I could enjoy and work on
over time. Roughly 11 years ago I sought out a clean original early 911t which needed a restoration, but would not
be hurt by modifying it from the original equipment. Part of my criteria was a clean little rust body, T model
targa in Viper Green, Light Yellow or Gulf Blue. This particular car is from California originally and had very
little to no rust at all and is light yellow. I purchased it as a running roller, meaning it had all the body
panels a motor/transmission, but little else. All of the original interior and trim were not present on the
vehicle when I acquired it. Since then I have rebuilt everything on the car except the long block engine. My goal
was to make a modern interpretation of an early 911 similar to a Singer which could be driven any time you turn
the key, and functioned like new.
The body of the car has been modified. All the external trim has been shaved, so all trim holes were welded shut
and shaved over. The rear fenders were flared with fiberglass RS replica flares. At the time I did the body work
steel RS flares were out of production and hard to acquire. Since then this has drastically changed and metal RS
flares are available again from Porsche and the aftermarket. All other panels on the car are original metal, but I
do have a fiberglass ductail I will include in the sale as well. Pictures of the car with and without the tail are
posted.
All of the turn signal lens have been replaced. The original headlights were backdated to 1967 911 lenses, but
with HID balasts and projectors. Unlike the original 911 headlights, these work and allow driving at night safely.
Not to mention they look a little better.

2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.
Take a POV hot lap in the Porsche 918 Spyder
Mon, 14 Apr 2014That title about says it all. This is a hot lap of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX, with Porsche Works Driver Patrick Long at the wheel of a Porsche 918 Spyder. The camera is basically showing us everything that Long sees, making this not just one of the coolest 918 videos we've seen, but also one of the neatest laps of CoTA.
As Long peers through the bends, so will you. You'll see him fight the wheel, and find out just how difficult it is to hustle this hybrid hypercar around a world-class track at speed. It's pretty darn entertaining. There are also a few scattered shots of the 918's exterior just to break up the interior awesomeness, although we aren't exactly complaining about those. Take a look below for the short video from Porsche.
2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Think of the electric motor in the facelifted 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as the cream filling in an Oreo cookie. Under the hood of this plug-in hybrid crossover is a 333-horsepower, supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 95-hp synchronous electric motor sandwiched between it and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The clutched powertrain allows pure combustion, pure electric or a combination of both to drive all four wheels through Porsche's permanent all-wheel-drive system.
Differentiating itself from the Panamera S E-Hybrid sedan, which shares the same basic powertrain and stores energy in a 9.4-kWh battery, the Cayenne crossover is fit with a more robust 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers an estimated pure-electric driving range of up to 22 miles at speeds of up to 78 miles per hour.
To be one of the very first US media members to sample Porsche's latest fuel-efficient crossover, the automaker flew us to Frankfurt, Germany, to test the five-passenger Cayenne S E-Hybrid on its home turf.
