2019 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe




This 2 owner 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe is finished in black over a black leather interior and was with its previous owner for 27 years prior to our recent acquisition. Power comes from a 3.6L flat-six paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle, and the car has remained completely original aside from the sound system. Recent maintenance included new pads and rotors, replacing various fluids & filters, spark plugs, new windshield wiper blades, front hood and rear decklid support struts,and more. Now showing just over 106k miles, this 964 is offered with service records dating back to 2002, a stamped factory service booklet, a factory owners manual & leather binder, a clean Carfax and a clear Title. The black finish is shown from several angles in the gallery section. Some cracking is noted on the front driver's fender below the headlight and various rock chips can be seen on the front of the hood as detailed in the gallery. Paint meter readings are consistent with factory original paint. The provided Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage. A set of original factory D90 16 wheels wear newer Yokohama Advan S4 performance tires all around.





Recent work included replacing the rotors and pads all around, alignment and corner balance, sway bar links, as well as a new brake pressure switch and relay. This particular 964 is optioned with partial-leather, which covers the seats, door panels, center console, and dashboard. The black interior features powered seats, powered windows, power sunroof, power mirrors, and an Eclipse head unit. Service receipts from Porsche Minneapolis show a recent repair of the driver's side seat motor. The air conditioning and heating system was recently serviced and are in good working condition. The odometer shows just over 106k miles, about 92K of which were added by the previous owner. The 3.6L M64 flat-six was factory-rated at 250 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque when new. The G50 5-speed manual transaxle shifts smoothly with no grinding or issues. Servicing conducted within the last 2k miles under previous ownership included new breather valve seals, replacing the engine air duct, while more recent work included changing various fluids and filters, and installing a new dme relay.





Elon stated that the Tesla truck will meet or exceed the Ford F-150 in specifications, but also the Porsche 911 at the shareholder meeting. What all specifications does that need to best? As far as weight goes it's about power to weight ratio and torque to weight ratio. Neither of those help with braking and turning, they only help with acceleration and top speed. The adaptive suspension I was talking about would be more akin to the active suspension that Formula 1 outlawed in the early nineties. 50k truck is gonna have F1 style suspension. Elon mentioned that the Roadster would do things that is unfair to other cars and that was one of the first things I thought of. Nope, he specifically meant the SpaceX package. Telsa's suspension tech is nothing to write home about, and competing against Porsche in this area is a fool's errand since the latter has so much more motor sports experience with racing chassis and suspension.





It was just an automatic tilting of the car during it's turns. With modern technology that would be easier. Also it was outlawed because it made driving the cars to the limit super easy and also raised what that limit was. There could still be more than the SpaceX option package that the Roadster and possibly other Tesla vehicles will have that could be considered unfair. What you are mentioning is already implemented in other cars in one form or another, active suspension is super common these days. The new 911 even has electric sway bars that move around during cornering to compensate for weight shift. Other than the SpaceX package (which is no way street legal), there is nothing Tesla can do that no one else鈥檚 seen, look up the crazy things all the super cars are doing these days. 100k, that alone makes this a fantasy. I'm thinking the truck should be able to surpass the F-150 in the way they said it would. That should be pretty straightforward, make it more useful. But if they can come close to a base 911 that should be pretty impressive enough. If they can make good on that promise, that would be the surprising bit. The original Reddit community and supporters of the Tesla mission. Tesla vertically integrates energy generation solutions with solar, energy storage with batteries, and use with electric vehicles.





Time has come and here's your chance to own one of the holy grails out of the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen. Car will only be sold because of serious health reasons. Completing the soft-top 911 line-up was the Speedster, which revived a charismatic model from Porsche's past when it arrived in 1989, the name previously having been applied to that most stylish of the many Type 356 variants. The idea of a new Speedster had first crystallised in 1983 with the development of an ultimately stillborn prototype. Porsche's president, the German-American Peter Schutz, revived the project in 1986, knowing that such a model would have great appeal in the United States market. A prototype based in the 911SC was shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1987, but by the time the production Speedster arrived, the 911SC had been superseded by the Carrera '3.2'. Three options are present on this stunning example. Delivered in July 1989 our car here has had three owners from new. We acquired the car in 2006 and have continued the service and record keeping duties going for the car while exercising it regularly. The paint is all original on all surfaces. Glass is all original. The engine bay is quite tidy, as is the front trunk area when you remove the carpet - it looks factory fresh. With nearly 48K miles showing on the clock, this Speedster has no current mechanical needs and drives wonderfully. This magnificent low mileage example comes with absolutely every original accessories including the owner鈥檚 manuals, tools, service book, maintenance records and is as new. Currently the car has a Becker Traffic Pro radio installed. For sure we do have the original Blaupunkt SQR46 radio that belongs to the car.
