1991 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet: To Restore Or Part on 2040-cars
Sudbury, Massachusetts, United States
Unfortunately my very well sorted 1991 Black/Linen 944 S2 was
involved in a building collapse last week about an hour's north of New York
City. Not having the time to deal with it I have decided to sell. As per the
highly regarded body shop in which it is stored in New Windsor, NY, all the damage is cosmetic.
The car is a fairly easy fix or probably worth even more parted, given the
condition of the vehicle prior to the accident. No insurance claim so title will be delivered with no accident history. Here's the best description I
can give. I am not interested in parting the car out myself. In 1989 the 944S2 was introduced, powered by a 211 PS (155 kW;
208 hp) normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0L version of the
944Sengine. With a bore of 104 mm (4.1 in) and a stroke of 88 mm
(3.5 in), it was the largest production 4-cylinder engine of its
time. The 944S2 also received a revised transmission and gearing to better
suit the 3.0-liter M44/41 powerplant. The 944S2 had the same rounded nose and a
rear valance found on the Turbo model. This was the first example of the use of
an integrated front bumper, where the fender and hood profiles would merge
smoothly with the bumper, a design feature that has only now seen widespread
adoption on the 1990 onward production cars. Performance was quoted as
0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds (0–100 km/h 6.8 s), with a top speed of
240 km/h (150 mph) via manual transmission. A Club Sport touring
package (M637) was also available. On Mar-09-14 at 19:04:19 PDT, seller added the following information: The correct model year is 2000 (not 2001). Once the auction started I was not able to correct the title listing. Also the car has just over 100,000 miles now. Also, for those interested repairing the car, the shop's estimate for labor (body) was $2,2,00 (@37 hours). I have no affiliation of this body shop; it was recommended to me by the local and well respected independent Porsche tech (Advanced Automotive of New Windsor, NY). |

2014 Porsche Cayman promo video hits the web
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Don't know how we missed this, but you don't have to play around with the 2014 Porsche Cayman configurator to see the new coupe in action; Porsche has given us more than two beautiful minutes of Cayman footage to enjoy.
The partners in the on-screen tango are the 275-horsepower base Cayman and the 325-hp Cayman S. If you like to keep track of such things, the former starts at $52,600, the latter at $63,800, plus $950 destination for each. Watching a video like the one below, however, is free.
Mark Webber treats Maria Sharapova to a Porsche 918 Spyder joyride
Tue, 29 Apr 2014We don't much like Mark Webber right now. Part of being a racing driver is dealing with promotional stuff. It's not hard to find a driver that can't stand all this nonsense, whether it be promoting a product, meeting investors or attending some obscure event. Even a driver of Webber's caliber - a former Formula One driver for Red Bull Racing and a member of Porsche's factory Le Mans team - has to serve his time at the promo events.
Somehow, though, we don't think the Aussie driver minds this particular promo detail. In the video below, Webber attends the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. He then takes tennis superstar Maria Sharapova out for a spin behind the wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder. The level of jealousy at the Autoblog office is palpable.
Take a look below for the video. And as we're super jealous of Mr. Webber, hop into Comments and caption the above photo based on what you think he's saying to Maria. Bonus points if you can work "vegemite" into the caption.
Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing
Thu, 09 May 2013In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.
