2014 - Storyboards

Weight, or the lack there of is an aspect that plays a pivotal role in how a sports car handles

At 3,020 pounds, the Porsche 991 R is the lightest 911 since the 996 Carrera

Limited to 991 units, the 2016 Porsche 911 R is a modern homage to the 1967 original

Its 4.0-liter flat-6 revs to 9,000 RPM and is mated to a close-ratio 6-speed manual

The base-model 718 weighs 2,943 pounds regardless of the body style

Despite having only 2.0 liters of displacement, the 718 Cayman/Boxster still does the 0-60 mph sprint in 4.6 seconds

PDK-equipped cars are 66 pounds heavier than those with the 6-speed manual

The base Porsche 981 Cayman is even lighter at 2,932 pounds, but the more powerful S model is just 22 pounds heavier

The 2.7-liter flat-6 makes 275 horsepower here and allows for a -60 mph in 5.4 seconds with the manual

The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport is one of the lightest Porsches in modern times, at 2,910 pounds

While it was sold to the public (in most countries), the Clubsport is bound to the race track

At 2,899 pounds the 981 Boxster Spyder is the lightest mid-engine Porsche of the last decade

If you've ever wondered about some of the most engaging Porsche's of the past decade, we've got you covered

At 3,042 pounds, the 911 S/T is the lightest Porsche 992

It takes the GT3 Touring and infuses it with some of the GT3 RS goodies, including the engine and some of the aero

The close-ratio six-speed manual always keeps the rev-happy flat-six in the sweet spot

The number isn't chosen by accident, paying homage to the year the original 911 made its debut, 1963

The 992 S/T costs around $100,000 more than the GT3 Touring and is limited to 1963 units

The 992 Sport Classic is the second Porsche 911 to pay tribute to the Carrera 2.7 RS, after the 997 Sport Classic

The 992 Sport Classic will, likely, be the last 911 Turbo-based model, fitted with a manual

Unlike the 997 variant, which was based on the Carrera GTS, the 992 is based on the Turbo, sending power to the rear axle

Production of this nostalgic Porsche 992 was limtied to 1,250 units

With just 2,486 units produced, the Porsche 718 Spyder 4.0 is one of the rarer 718 models

At 3,130 pounds, the mid-engine Spyder 4.0 is lighter than most modern 911s

The Spyder 4.0 sits below the Spyder RS and GT4 RS, but has something the other do not - a manual transmission

Its 4.0-liter flat-six is not the same as the Porsche GT3's. It's based on the 3.0-liter Carrera engine

Porsche wanted to make a 911 that doesn't adhere to most modern reguations. The 911 R is a GT3 Touring, unleashed

The 991 R is the lightest modern Porsche 911 you can buy

The main highlights are the manual transmission, single-mass flywheel, and GT3 RS engine

The Porsche 911 R is the definition of hardcore. Just 991 units exist

The 981 Boxster Spyder is the lightest iteration of Porsche's mid-engine sports car, at under 2,900 pounds

Around 2,000 examples were built and they are all manual

Jeremy Snow, a YouTuber known for electric vehicle projects, is building a custom electric Porsche Cayman

Dubbed the GT-E, this 2014 Cayman will soon feature an all-electric powertrain

One of the first parts on the exterior to be realized is a 3D-printed rear bumper weighing 68 pounds, making it much heavier than traditional bumpers

After being designed in 3D Software

A scaled-down clay model was also created to show Jeremy's vision of his future EV sportscar

The 3D printing process was complex and involved overcoming numerous challenges

Snow used unconventional methods like popsicle sticks and ratchet straps during assembly

Snow acknowledges the weight issue and plans to explore ways to cut back on the weight

Magnus Walker has a soft spot for air-cooled Porsches

The Poschephile says he likes his cars affordable, which means they don't, necessarily, need to be pristine examples

Walker acquired many of the cars in his collection for under $10,000

But his daily driver is something even he didn't expect to like at first

A high-mileage Porsche Turbo S sounds like a risky purchase, but not when it has been well-looked-after

Once a nearly $200,000 car, Magnus acquired this 2014 Turbo S daily driver for $60,000

The odometer shows 183,000 miles, most of which (159,000 miles) done by the original owner

The only visible sign of wear is the driver's seat, which really tells you Porsche 911s are built to last

The semi-usable back seats is where Magnus' dog, Willow, often, sits

The PDK transmission was changed at 120,000 miles, which cost the previous owner $30,000

This 991 Turbo S is Magnus' only Porsche that doesn't have a manual transmission

Swipe up to learn more about why he chose this modern-day Porsche as his daily driver.
