In a recent episode of 9WERKS TV on YouTube, we are treated to comparison between two of the most coveted Porsche 911 Rennsport models ever made—the iconic 2.7 RS and its rarer sibling, the Carrera 3.0 RS. The 2.7 RS, introduced in 1973, was a homologation special designed to compete in Group 3 racing. With its lightweight construction, powerful engine, and distinctive ducktail spoiler, it quickly became a sought-after collectible. However, just one year later, Porsche released an even more potent […]...
The 911 Carrera RS wasn’t designed to be a perfect car or even a road car—it was created for homologating the 911 RSR for Group 5 racing. Porsche needed to build a street version of the race car, focusing on weight reduction and aerodynamic features essential for the track. Initially, they didn’t expect this to be a big hit due to the car’s lack of comfort and high price. However, after its 1972 debut at the Paris Auto Show, demand […]...

Equipped with four valves per cylinder and direct fuel injection, the engine generates an impressive 385 horsepower. The GT4 came exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission and weighed just 2,954 pounds. Designed for enhanced aerodynamics […]...

Porsche enthusiasts had long speculated about how a Cayman would perform with a 911 engine. The automaker answered with the 981 GT4, featuring a 911 powerplant and delivering a driving experience many had only imagined. But the demand for more led to the creation of the GT4 RS, equipped with a high-revving flat-six from the GT3, surpassing expectations. Porsche then took things even further by introducing the 718 Spyder RS, offering the same engine in an open-top form. At the […]...
The Porsche 918 Spyder combined a naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 engine with an electric powertrain, adding 280 horsepower from two electric motors, resulting in a total output that made it one of the fastest-accelerating production cars, reaching 0-60 mph in 2.2 seconds. Porsche enhanced handling with a four-wheel drive system, rear-axle steering, and energy recovery during braking. Buyers could also opt for the Weissach package, a lightweight upgrade that boosted performance. Less than 25% of 918s were equipped with this […]...

In December 2023, a low-mileage Porsche 918 Spyder ‘Weissach Package’ sold for a record $3.93 million, over a million dollars more than the average price for the Porsche hypercar.

One might struggle to comprehend why these Porsche models commanded such astronomical values. The short answer? Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur […]...

The Speedster, introduced in 1989, completed Porsche’s soft-top 911 lineup by reviving a charismatic model from the brand’s past. The name had originally been used for the sleek Type 356 variant.

To boost sluggish sales during a difficult U.S. economic period, Porsche aimed to recreate the success of its Carrera Cup series from Germany and France in America. The plan was straightforward: build identical racecars based on the European Carrera RS, equip them with track safety features, and ship them to the U.S. for racing. However, due to Porsche’s recent failure to import the 959 supercar because it didn’t meet DOT/EPA standards, Porsche was required to send 45 DOT-compliant cars to […]...
