This car technically belongs to my mom, but I purchased it originally in July 2006. I picked the car up in Fort Wayne, Indiana for $6,500 and drove it 13 hours straight to Richmond, Va. Incredible experience! We had a fantastic first year together, in which I had the pedal assembly rebuilt with a new master cylinder and updated brake cables etc. Had zero issues.
In 2007, I decided to "reward" the faithful 912 with a motor rebuild. I picked the wrong guys to do the engine work (took 3x as long as promised, $1,000+ additional, etc). So I had a different mechanic install a rebuilt transmission. All of this put us without the car for almost the entire year. Horrible. When I finally picked it up with the new motor and transmission, we made it only about 2 hours before the motor seized (no oil!). I could never prove which mechanic was ultimately to blame. Out of money and frustrated, we parked it.
For the next couple of years or so, we slowly replaced and/or repaired the damaged parts (with mechanics' consultation) and gathered what I believe to be all of the necessary pieces to rebuild the motor. Simultaneously, we took the car to a guy in Martinsville, VA to repair rust etc and paint the 912. It has barely seen the light of day since the body work. Until January, we kept it in a storage unit. It has been in my parking lot under a car cover for the past few months.
The interior would be ok with a good cleaning, but there are a few scratches and such as I have only done "necessary" repairs. We will include some updated seatbelts, still in the box. Also cool, is that I had a cd player concealed in the glove box back in 2006 with some MB Quart speakers in the doors.
Today, the 912 is physically in solid shape. The motor is somewhat if not completely "all there", with ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. The transmission has only a couple of hours on it. Wipers, motor, transmission, exhaust, are out of the car, but will be included. Heater boxes are rusted out, but I'll include them for whatever that is worth. Actual mileage is unknown.
Selling this car breaks my heart after everything we've been through. Not to mention that we will never recover the time and money invested. But we are out of time and money (at least for now), and must sell. I sincerely hope our 912 finds a good home.
Best,
-Curtis

Are you the next Porsche 911 GT3 RS or GT2?
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Porsche typically keeps to a suitably fast schedule when it comes to rolling out increasingly hard-core performance versions of the 911. After the 997 Carrera debuted in 2004, the GT3 version followed in 2006, and by the end of the 2007, Porsche had rolled out both the GT3 RS and GT2 versions. Then the facelifted 997.5 came out in 2008 and it was back to the start: the GT3 came in 2009, the GT3 RS and GT2 RS in 2010, and the GT3 RS 4.0 in 2011. But things have slowed down some with the latest 991 generation.
The new Carrera came in 2011 and the GT3 followed in 2012. By recent history's example, we should have at least two more hardcore models by now, but we don't. Maybe the engineers in Zuffenhausen have had their hands full fixing the spontaneous-combustion issues with the existing GT3, or maybe their attentions have been focused elsewhere altogether. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it seems like they're back on the job.
Now we don't know if this prototype foreshadows a new GT3 RS or a GT2, but it sure looks more hard-core than the existing GT3 that many purists have derided as too soft, what with its automatic transmission and four-wheel steering.
Porsche 911 and Citro"en DS lovechild would look like this
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The early Porsche 911 and the Citroën DS were two cars produced in the same era (though the DS launched in 1955, nearly 10 years before the 911), but they were vastly different from each other. The 911 was a uniquely German, pure-bred sports car, while the French-built DS had four doors and focused more on ride quality than sporting intentions. That made it all the more surprising when we came across the 911DS, a creation that binds the rear half of the Citroën to the front of an early, longhood 911.
The folks at Brandpowder are behind the creation, which we surmise was an exercise in design rather than an actual, completed project (some of the images look Photoshopped), but it's compelling nonetheless, with a turbocharged flat-six providing 260 horsepower. We hope someone builds it - though we're sure if that happened the early 911 crowd would cry afoul at one of its increasingly rare and valuable Porsches being grafted onto an old French car.
But as Brandpowder points out lightheartedly, perhaps the creation could transcend popular car culture: "The 911DS represents the effort of two countries, a genuine attempt to join their energy and talent into one thing. We hope Germany and France will be inspired by Brandpowder's story, as a metaphor for a better and greater Europe."
The 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S brings 50 extra ponies to Detroit
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Porsche has announced a new version of its popular SUV today at the Detroit Auto Show: the 550-horsepower 2014 Cayenne Turbo S.
This newly minted "flagship" of the Cayenne lineup is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 engine, and offers 50 hp more than the Cayenne Turbo. Performance figures are impressive for the sleek utility vehicle: 0-60 miles per hour can be dashed off in 4.3 seconds, while maximum speed is rated at 175 mph. The Turbo S also gets dynamic chassis control, torque vectoring and Porsche's Sport Chrono package - all standard equipment.
Visually the Cayenne Turbo S differentiates itself from the lesser models in pretty subtle ways. Gloss black trim decorates the gawping front air intakes, as well as rear-view mirror trim panel. The SUV also wears 21-inch Turbo II wheels, a la the 911 Turbo.
