Tuner Tuesday Alpina-off – 1994 B10 Allrad Touring 6-speed and 1998 B12 5.7

Published October 14, 2014 by Carter

Following up on last week’s Alpina B6 2.8 Touring, I have another post of the boutique manufacturer’s cars. It goes without saying that Alpinas are pretty special cars and quite limited production; however, a few sub-models are notable as being especially rare. Going above and beyond, these cars will really set you apart from the typical crowd – get specific about the configuration, and you can usually count on one hand the number of models that are the same as the one you’re looking at. That’s especially true when you see today’s Alpina twofer – two lesser seen models from a lesser seen manufacturer. Today I have, thanks to a great spot from our reader John, the #2 produced B10 Allrad Touring and the #123 B12 5.7. Which would be your flavor? Let’s start with the Touring first:

1970 Porsche 911S

Published October 14, 2014 by Rob

Sports cars are largely defined by the hot versions that have been produced. Whether that is fair or not it remains the case and was especially true of cars from the 1960s. For the 911 the first hot version, and the model that quickly moved the car into the ranks of the elite sports cars of its day, was the 911S released in 1967. As both a lighter and more powerful version of the 911 the S was sure to be a hit even if its greater power exacerbated the car’s already skittish and tail-happy nature. Porsche addressed that issue in 1969 by lengthening the wheelbase across the 911 range and then for 1970 displacement was increased from 2.0 liters to 2.2 liters, bringing horsepower of the S up to 180 along with an appreciable raise in torque. As this sort of elite sports car the S would only truly exist for another couple of years before being phased out entirely (at least until the 993), making these early examples some of the most highly prized of any 911 on the market. The example here is a beautifully restored Metallic Blue 1970 Porsche 911S, located in Ohio.

Tuner Tuesday: 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo

Published October 14, 2014 by Carter

If yesterday’s Koni Challenge 997 was a little too extreme for your Porsche dreams, you don’t need to look far for another stunning deal. We’ve talked a lot about what an incredible performance package the 996 twin turbo still is; over a decade on, even box stock these are still cars that perform at near exotic levels. Despite that massive performance, they’re available for a relative song – we’ve even seem some higher mileage examples dipping into the $30,000 range. Today’s example has been turned up as many have, now capable of 600 horsepower ripping pavement through all four wheels. That means your trumped-up Beetle can embarrass most Ferraris, Lamborghinis and some small airplanes for only $50,000. It’s so fast, not only the pictures but even the dyno readout is blurry from speed:

2001 BMW 740iL Sport

Published October 13, 2014 by Paul

Two large German sedans from the last three decades stand out in my mind as perhaps the most beloved. The Mercedes-Benz W126 S-class and the car you see here, the BMW E38 7 series. While the BMW E32 7 series moved the luxury car chains in the late 1980s, the E38 refined the breed, carrying on the option of the smooth V12 at the top of the range while streamlining the classic BMW styling hallmarks we know and love just a bit. This final year 740iL for sale in Florida has the Sport Package, which includes the sought after Style 37 M-Parallel alloy wheels. Having covered less than 50,000 miles, this burgundy beauty has a lot of life left in it.

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

Published October 13, 2014 by Rob

We all have our personal favorites and this car is just about as close as it gets for me. A triple black 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe with whale tail. Whether this actually is my personal favorite probably depends on what day of the week it is since I’ll almost always tell you that I prefer black and tan over triple black. Then I come across a car like this one and my mind changes. The rest, however, is just how I’d want it: black exterior, black Fuchs, whale tail, and the last year of the 3.2 Carrera. The things that dreams are made of. When I think of the 911 this is the car that comes to my mind first; it relates most closely to my own first experience of the 911 in the flesh and was the dominant example during my youth when such images were permanently seared into my brain. Add to that the low mileage and the excellent condition of the interior and exterior and we have a sure winner.
