The Macan

             

                Porsche debuted their Macan SUV at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. At first glance the Macan was visually stunning, but the real beauty lay under the surface. The 2014 Macan had impressive engine power, rapid acceleration and braking, excellent agility, and ideal steering precision. All of these attributes provide a luxurious level of comfort and everyday drivability.

                The 2017 Porsche Macan is still the jewel of the Porsche SUV lineup, available in four different trim levels: the base Macan; the Macan S; the Macan GTS and the flagship Macan Turbo. The base model is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four cylinder engine that produces 252 horsepower along with 273 pound feet of torque. The Macan S, comes with a 340 horsepower 3.0 liter twin-turbo V6 engine, while the Macan GTS also comes with a 3.0 liter twin turbo V6 with a healthier 360 horsepower outout. The top-of-the-line Macan Turbo draws its motive force from a 3.6-liter twin turbo V6 that cranks out 400 horses and 406 pound feet of torque.

                As you would expect the Porsche Macan’s performance is is Porsche through and through. The Macan handles exceptionally well and with ease and it feels more like a luxury sport sedan than a compact SUV, but with all-wheel-drive. The Macan opens up to a wider range of consumers to the Porsche experience.

                At a base price of $47,500 the Macan is very reasonable and affordable. The 2017 Porsche Macan is ready and waiting for you in our showroom. Check out our inventory and contact us to take yours home today!

The Porsche 718 Boxster

The Porsche 718 Boxster is Porsche’s ultimate illustration of the most efficient, effective, and dynamically delightful two-seater open-topped sports car on the market.

The new 718 is the third generation of the ever popular Boxster, and it has been given a face-lift from its predecessor.  Porsche purists will instantly know that the 718 refers to the clutch of the rare but legendary racing cars that were built in the late 1950’s and early 60’s. The Boxster was originally and elegant concept car for Porsche back in 1992, and the current 718 Boxster draws its inspiration from that concept. The first production was produced in 1996 and was an instant success. Since then, each upgrade of the Boxster has brought it closer to Porsche’s 911, making it similar in terms of size, speed and price.

Porsche has gone a different route with the new 718 Boxster as well, during this mid-cycle refresh, Porsche rolled out a new turbo charged four-cylinder for the first times since the 1980’s era 944. This Porsche doesn’t lose any power, using the turbocharger to extract maximum power from a modest 2.0 liter engine. Everything the Boxster has become renowned for – snappy steering, a swift, snug hood and plenty of practicality to go with the performance.

Pricing for the 718 Boxster is under $80,000 which is substantially less than its big brother, the 911, making it very reasonable for the car that you are getting. The 718 is now available and ready for you to take home today. Check out our inventory and contact us to schedule your test drive now!

The First Porsche 911 Cabriolet can now be yours!

        

                Over the 53 years that Porsche has been producing the 911, there have been many special edition 911 models. But there is one that is more important than the rest, while technically a Porsche 901, in 1964, Porsche produced a Cabriolet prototype convertible 18 years before the first production 911 Cabriolet.                             

                There were 13 pre-production Porsche 901 Cabriolets that were produced in 1964, and there are only two remaining. And the very first of those produced, is now up for auction. This classic Porsche Cabriolet will roll across the auction block at RM Sotheby’s in Paris on February 8^th, 2017. The auction house estimates that the Porsche will bring in between $900,000 and $1,060,000. And giving the way that other Porsche’s have been selling at auction, this could be a very conservative estimate.

                The chassis which is numbered #13360, is believed to be the second oldest 901/911, and was used for the template for Porsche’s 911 Targa that debuted in 1967. When Porsche first produced this Cabriolet prototype they planned on putting it into production as it did with the 356, but following the tightening of U.S. safety legislation, they decided to go with the Targa and its iconic aluminum roll hoop. In 1982, Porsche pulled the trigger on what they started nearly 20 years prior, the 911 Cabriolet.

                The pictures from the auction listing, the 901 Cabriolet is in great shape with some minor wear and tear on the interior. This particular 901 is stunning with its red finish, Fuchs alloy wheels, a wooden steering wheel and houndstooth fabric seats. And being that it’s from 1964, it is equipped with a 2.0 liter flat-six producing around 130 horsepower.

                So if you are a Porsche collector and what this car, make your way to Paris in February and break out the checkbook!
