For sale is my 1984 Porsche 944. I bought this car about 5 years ago primarily for Porsche Club performance driving events. When I bought it, the car was already set up by a local PCA member, with lowered suspension, soft compound Kumho tires, BBS wheels, 5 point harnesses, brake pads, and fixed racing seats. Just before I purchased the car, the engine was completely rebuilt at a cost of $5800 by a reputable builder. I have all the documentation. I added a MOMO wheel and new brake pads and took the car to some events.
The car drives great, shifts crisply, handles very tightly, brakes strong. Clutch is solid and smooth. It's a great track car, especially for novice drivers. It has enough power to make it challenging, but it's hard to get yourself in (too much) trouble. Even though it's currently set up for the track, it would also make a fun street car. Everything works - AC blows cold, Blaupunkt stereo, electric sunroof, electric antenna, rear wiper, etc. The former owners kept unbelievably meticulous records, and I have a file of all services going back to the original bill of sale from Northland Porsche+Audi in Cincinnati.
The car is mechanically excellent, but cosmetically fair. It's been a track car for a good portion of its life, and its got a few scars. The paint is fair, and there are numerous chips and blemishes. There is brake dust staining on the wheels and lower body. The hood struts are weak, there is some minor cracking of the dash above the instrument binnacle. The 944 emblem on the front bumper is long gone. The interior is clean, but well worn. Markings have worn off much of the switchgear.
The 944 is a lot of fun for reasonable money. The reality is that I've had two kids since the time I bought the car, and I have much less opportunity to use it. I feel it should go to someone else who would be willing to enjoy it.

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.
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.
1986 Porsche 959 Prototype at Barrett-Jackson sees gavel fall at $440,000 [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013Fans of Porsche in America have longed for the chance to buy a 959 ever since the German automaker produced and sold it (well, sold it everywhere but the United States...) in the 1980s. Well, they just had their chance. The car you see above is a Porsche 959 prototype built in 1986, and only one other running prototype still exists.
The 959 prototype can't be driven on public roads, as it carries no such certification. Somehow, we doubt that matters all that much to the new buyer - this one is probably going to be sitting in a collection. When the gavel finally fell, bidding had reached $400,000, plus a 10-percent buyer's fee.
Check out our high-res image gallery above to see this prototype up close, and scroll down below to watch a video of it crossing the auction block and for its official auction description.
