1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S 3.6 is up for auction

Between 1989 and 1994, Porsche produced the 964 model designed by Benjamin Dimson. In 1993, Porsche introduced a Turbocharged version of this series, and by the end of the year, only 1,437 units of the Porsche 911 Turbo S 3.6 were produced, which makes it even rarer than the 911 Carrera RS 2.7. One of them, a 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S 3.6 (one of 17 produced with standard Turbo bodywork) is for sale.

This Turbo S is powered by a factory-modified 3.6-liter M64/50 flat-six with 380 hp (283 kW) and 384 lb-ft (520 Nm) of torque. The engine was equipped with the X88 power kit, which added modified cylinder heads and camshafts, altered timing, larger capacity fuel injectors and a larger turbocharger and intercooler. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.

The car is finished in Grand Prix White and is in excellent condition. It is equipped with a revised front splitter, asymmetrical 959-style quarter panel air intakes, a louvered rear spoiler, quad exhaust tips, a rear window wiper, aerodynamic side mirrors, a power-operated sunroof, headlight washers, and red-finished calipers with white Porsche script over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. It sits on polished 18″ Speedline Cup wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

Inside, the electrically adjustable seats are trimmed in Classic Gray leather, which also covers the door panels, dash and rear bench. In front of the driver is a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a six-digit odometer showing 13,538 miles. Additional equipment includes air conditioning, power windows, and a Porsche CR-1 cassette stereo linked to a trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer.

The car has a clean Carfax report that shows no accidents or other damage. It comes with tools and a clean Illinois title.

A rare 1957 Porsche 356 Carrera 1500 GS Speedster is for sale

A rare and highly desirable variant of Porsche’s legendary 356 A Speedster is up for auction, the 1957 Porsche 356 Carrera 1500 GS Speedster.

The Speedster had been wildly successful in North America, and in the desire to bring its sporting success to the region, Porsche launched the Carrera GS. Back then, this model was powered by a four-cam engine designed by Ernst Fuhrmann. The same engine powered the 550 Spyder that conquered some of the biggest endurance races in the world, such as La Mans and the Carrera Panamericana.

This car was purchased new in 1957, when it was finished in Silver Metallic. It was recently subjected to a full restoration and is powered by a later replacement Typ 692/1 four-cam Carrera engine with 100 hp (74 kW), paired with automatic gearbox. The car is in excellent condition and the five-digit digital odometer shows only 366 miles. The seller did not state if this is the true mileage.

Inside, the coupe seats are upholstered in black leather that also covers the dash and door panels. It is equipped with a black folding roof.

This rare example, eligible for major motoring events around the world, is an ideal addition to any car collection. It will be offered at an auction that will take place on January 31, 2024, and the estimated value is €750,000 – €850,000 EUR.
