The CXX Package is like an off-the-menu package offered by Porsche to their most exclusive customers. YouTuber TJ Hunt gives us a glimpse of what this package entails in his latest video. Driving along the scenic coastal stretches of Big Sur a.k.a Highway 1, he introduces the viewers to his 1-of-1 (991.1) Porsche 911 GT3 RS with the CXX Package, a gift from his wife Sabria. If you are starting your research on Porsche’s CXX package, be prepared to go down a deep rabbit hole of information, rumors, and first-hand accounts on forums like Rennlist or Reddit, since Porsche officially hasn’t released any information on this custom package.

In the halcyon days of the 1980s, the Porsche 959, with its 2.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, roared onto the automotive scene, making its claim as the fastest supercar of its era, and the first Porsche with a twin-turbo engine. Then, as the millennium dawned, Porsche gifted the world with the Carrera GT. It vroomed with a highly symphonic V10, a heart borrowed from motorsports, reminding many that it was perhaps the final analog supercar. But evolution, as they say, is inevitable. Enter the Porsche 918 Spyder, the spiritual successor to the Carrera GT and the world’s first plug-in hybrid supercar with two electric motors and a naturally aspirated V8 engine.

Lamborghini unleashed its Gallardo successor in 2015, the Huracan LP 610-4, a technological tour de force that redefined the entry-level supercar segment. This angular beast packed the same 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine as the Gallardo but cranked 610 ponies in the new flavor. Gone was the single-clutch six-speed gearbox. A new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission led and mediated the output to four wheels. The result was a blistering performance of 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph.
