After Ford’s display of <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/10/ford-shows-prototype-cfrp-bonnet-wants.html">a prototype CFRP bonnet</a> earlier this week, Australian-based company Carbon Revolution launched the CR9, the world’s first one-piece production carbon fiber wheel. Carbon Revolution says that this is the result of “nearly a decade” of research and development. The benefits in weight and rigidity have been established both by its own testing as well as with premium European OEMs. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/10/aussie-based-carbon-revolution-creates.html#more">Read more »</a>

Even more so, when it's a Porsche, for which it’s a matter of honor. Enter the all-new 911, aka the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/09/new-911-takes-center-stage-at-porsche.html">991</a>, in 394bhp (400PS) Carrera S guise with a PDK dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox and stock tires. Timo Kluck, who was behind the steering wheel, piloted the new 911 around the ‘Ring in a blistering 7.37:9 on August 28, though Porsche officially released the video just a few days ago. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/10/new-porsche-991-carrera-s-posts-7379.html#more">Read more »</a>

The Last Aircoolers: Three Porsche 993 Finds with Under 4,500 Miles on the Odo

In fact, upon looking <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/ebay">on eBay</a> today, we discovered three pristine <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Porsche 911">911s</a> from the 1993-1998 era, all of which have less than 4,500 miles on them. The oldest of the three is a 1996 Porsche 911 C2, or Carrera 2, that describes the rear-wheel drive base model. It is finished in a special order Turquoise Metallic paint, which brings to mind memories of the 1989 Porsche Panamericana Concept. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Waii8ibYL5Y/UG8om59vinI/AAAAAAAJcEI/Cf0qyt3D7vE/s1600/1996-PORSCHE-993-C2-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Waii8ibYL5Y/UG8om59vinI/AAAAAAAJcEI/Cf0qyt3D7vE/s200/1996-PORSCHE-993-C2-7.jpg" width="110"></a> The car's 3.6-liter boxer engine is linked to a six-speed manual gearbox and has covered only 3,745 miles (6,025 km) since new. The highest bid at the time we wrote this piece was $40,100 (€30,800), but the seller's reserve had not been met. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-last-aircoolers-three-porsche-993.html#more">Read more »</a>
