When Porsche first showed the Cayenne SUV, enthusiasts of the brand’s sports cars saw it as the brand losing its way. But in reality, the Cayenne saved the brand from bankruptcy and quickly became its most popular product. Moving into the 2010s, the sedan market was rapidly shrinking and being taken up by crossover SUVs of all sizes. Wanting to take advantage of this evolving market, in 2014, Porsche first showed its new midsize SUV that was designed to slot in below the Cayenne – known as the Macan. Although it shared some architecture with the Audi Q5, the driving experience was completely dialed in by Porsche engineers to give it its own unique feeling. The result is likely the best balanced and most fun to drive crossover on the market, and in typical Porsche fashion, it is available in numerous trim levels and with loads of available options. This 2017 Macan was specified in GTS trim and is finished in black over a red leather interior. Under the care of just one owner, this car shows 92,000 miles and was sold new at Porsche of Beverly Hills before making its way to Washington State in May of 2020. The GTS trim on the Macan sits between the S and Turbo and is designed as the most sporting variant of the car, with body color cladding on the exterior, black badging and the more heavily bolstered 12-way adjustable front seats which feature both heating and ventilation. Sitting on a set of RS-Spyder 20” wheels in silver, the car is currently fitted with Michelin Latitude Touring HP tires. This Macan was optioned with adjustable air suspension, as well as auto-leveling Xenon headlamps and a Bose high end surround sound system. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 produces 355 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque which is sent through a 7-speed PDK gearbox to all four wheels. Although largely standard, the car benefits from upgraded carbon fiber mirror caps as well as carbon fiber shift paddle extenders which give it a bit more sporting feel. We at Dobson Stuttgart have been looking after this car for more than 50,000 miles and have performed numerous services including replacing both front and rear brakes, as well as a coolant reservoir replacement and multiple oil changes. Even nearly 8 years after it was produced, the Macan GTS is still one of the most enjoyable small SUVs from behind the wheel and is the perfect “do everything” car. Key Features

The “Impact-Bumper” era of Porsche 911 spanned from 1974 until 1989 and is one of the most iconic generations of the car. From that entire spread of years, most people consider the cars built between 1987 and 1989 to be the best – they were the most powerful, typically the best equipped and most importantly, were fitted with the desirable G50 gearbox. Replacing the long-lived 915 gearbox that came before it, the G50 did away with the notoriously vague shifting of the earlier cars and in its place, put a much more conventional feeling transmission that transformed the cars, making them both more fun to drive fast and easier to wheel around town every day.

This 1987 911 Carrera Cabriolet is a particularly special example as it shows just 29,975 miles at the time of cataloging and has been under long-term ownership. Finished in Black over Black, this car’s production was completed late-September 1986, and was delivered to the first owner in late November the same year. After just over 18 months, the car was purchased by the consignor in April of 1988, and has stayed in their care ever since. Always kept in the Bellevue, WA area, CarFax shows only a few hundred miles added to the car between bi-annual emissions tests, and a few entries for service work carried out by Dobson Stuttgart beginning in 2022. From the factory, this 911 came equipped with Fuchs wheels with black centers and polished lips, as well as cruise control and sport-tuned shock absorbers. Given the minimal usage over the years, this car remains in stunning original condition with the only notable upgrades being a Panasonic CD head unit and modern tires. Under our care in the service department, the car received a fairly standard list of maintenance items that most cars of this age would require including a new fuel filter, brake fluid flush, fuel system cleaning and new struts for the rear engine lid. Finding a late Impact Bumper Carrera with such low miles and essentially one owner, is a real rarity these days. When you see this car in person, it really does live up to the hype, and if someone didn’t know, you would think the condition was in line with a car that was maybe two years old, rather than 37.

The mid-1970s were a bit of an odd time for the Porsche 911. After the end of the classic long hood, small bumper cars that everybody knows and loves in 1973, Porsche needed to adapt its sports car to meet a host of new emissions and safety requirements. Colloquially known as the Impact Bumper cars, these were only offered from the 1974 through 1977 model years, just before the introduction of the SC in 1978. These cars offered a unique combination of features, retaining the narrow rear arches from the outgoing long-hood cars, but now with a 2.7-liter flat-6 replacing the 2.4 that came before it. Fueling was handled by a Bosch K-Jetronic system, and in the United States, many of these cars were fitted with options like air conditioning and a sunroof.

This 1977 Porsche 911 S is from the final year of production of these mid-year cars, and is offered in Black over a Cork (tan) Interior. This US Spec example benefits from numerous service items carried out by our shop at Dobson Stuttgart including numerous suspension items and an auxiliary belt replacement. The 1977 911 S is rated at 175 horsepower which is plenty in a car weighing less than 2,400 lbs and offers that delicate steering feel that is a signature of early 911s. Although the odometer shows over 220,000 miles, this car doesn’t smoke and pulls strong through the gears and is an absolute joy to toss around on twisty roads. Although the photos currently show the car with an aftermarket tint, that has since been removed, which really enhances the look of the car and to our eyes, makes it appear far more classic. Although these mid-year cars may not be as revered as the earlier long hoods, or as ubiquitous as the later SCs, they represent a great time in Porsche’s history from a driving standpoint and at a very reasonable price.
