1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S

1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S

Published October 13, 2015 by Rob

Another interesting blue Porsche 911. Last week I featured a 911SC and a 964 in very different shades of blue and today we have a 993. I guess I just need to find a 3.2 Carrera and then something from the water-cooled generation to get some completeness! Blue is one of my favorite colors on a car so it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that so many of them catch my eye. Like with many colors, over the years Porsche has provided nearly the entire landscape of possible variations of blue from which owners could choose, from wild pastels like Mexico or Riviera Blue to the very subtle like last week’s Glacier Blue 911SC. Whether light or dark the color tends to work really well providing an interesting alternative to any of the very common silvers, whites, and blacks, but without necessarily veering into showy territory. Here we have another rarely seen variant that this time drifts a little toward the purple side of the spectrum, though only slightly: a Zenith Blue Metallic 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S, located in Brooklyn, with Tan interior and 65,400 miles on it.

1995 Porsche 9m93 Speedster S

1995 Porsche 9m93 Speedster S

Published October 11, 2015 by Paul

The great thing about the car hobby is there seems to be an almost endless stream of imagination from tuners and coachbuilders when it comes to concepts and limited production vehicles. One car in recent memory that sticks out in my mind is the Porsche 993 Speedster. Or the lack thereof. This was never officially offered by Porsche, but two were produced, one for Ferdinand Porsche and another for Jerry Seinfeld, comedian and noted Porsche collector. This hasn’t stopped people from trying to emulate those rare 911s. Ninemeister is a company based in the United Kingdom noted for its custom Porsches, and this 1995 Speedster happens to be one of them. With air-cooled Porsche popularity soaring, especially for the final batch of 993s, this could be considered one of the ultimate expressions of classic 911s.

2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Published October 11, 2015 by Andrew

I always get a kick out of hearing people knock the Porsche 996 911, especially for its looks. The runny egg headlights, and the large taillights make it an easy target, but I’m always quick to remind folks that even the worst looking 911 is still much more enjoyable to look at than the majority of other vehicles. This is especially true in the case of the Carrera 4S which borrows its extra wide, and aggressive look from the 911 Turbo. While reclusive purists will firmly declare that an AWD 911 is the work of the devil, aka. accounts who saw their value, I’m firmly in the camp of open minded individuals who see them as the perfect 4 season vehicle. When everyone else has had to put their toys away for winter, the C4S owner gets to keep playing with his. Charging up snow covered roads on a set of Bizzaks sounds like my idea of a good time, and on top of that, a 911 with a Thule rack is a beautiful thing. If you’re the type to not be too precious about your cars, and use them as they were intended to be used, there’s no need for a winter beater if you drive a C4S, just an extra set of wheels, and tires.

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Touring

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Touring

Published October 10, 2015 by Rob

For many enthusiasts of the 911 the Carrera RS sits atop a long list of highly-regarded cars. Today it is difficult to even keep track of the number of special variants of the 911 Porsche has offered, but in many ways they all reach back to the original RS, a car developed to fit Porsche’s racing needs for homologation. These also marked the rebirth of the Carrera name, first attached to the four-cam 356, which saw quite a bit of racing success of its own. As with most any racing development the build’s emphasis was on the combination of power and less weight. With 210 hp and weighing 2370 pounds in Touring configuration the Carrera RS would be a capable performer even by modern standards. During its time it must have seemed like a revelation. The example here is an early production, left-hand drive, Black 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS. Strangely, this is the first Carrera RS I can recall coming across in Black. That may be entirely anecdotal given how often we otherwise come across Black 911s, but perhaps there exists some additional rarity in that well known color. Regardless, it is fantastic!

1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe

1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe

Published October 8, 2015 by Rob

It’s time for another blue Porsche. This time a different shade – a much more vibrant shade – on a different model and, likely, at a different price point. Yesterday’s Glacier Blue 911SC, through its icy character, showed us a subtle side of blue that even under certain light looked almost white. It’s a winter scene on a car. Today’s example, a Cobalt Blue Metallic 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe located in Chicago, doesn’t possess the subtlety of Glacier Blue, but rather stands out with a striking brightness that will not fail to be mistaken for any other shade, whether in the light or the dark. And this one is draped over the then-new design of the 964, a model whose standard variants, such as this Carrera 2, seem to be slowly gaining momentum though still lag somewhat behind both their predecessors and successors. For fans of the 964, or even just the 911 in general, this should make for an attractive option in a more modern design than the classic 911, but while foregoing 993 prices.
