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

For 2025, the mid-range Cayenne gets better than ever

Priced accordingly: the Cayenne GTS starts at $126,895 or $131,800 if you want the sportier coupe variant

The 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 is mechanically similar to the Cayenne S

With 493 hp and 487 lb-ft the Cayenne GTS can hit 60 mph in around 4.0 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 171 mph

The GTS in fact offers a better power-to-weight ratio than almost any other Cayenne - 225 hp/ ton

GTS-specific design elements make the Cayenne more aggressive, but not as shouty as the Turbo GT

Larger air intakes and lots of gloss-black accents are the main theme in all Porsche GTS models

The gloss-black arches are GTS-specific. They house 21-inch Spyder RS wheels, available in different types of finish

Also finished in black are the rear diffuser and exhaust tips of the Sports exhaust

The interior features Race Tex (Alcantara) accross all contact areas, but aside from that, it's business as usual inside

Given how affordable they are, first-gen Cayennes make for a tempting propostion

But before you part with your cash, here are some of the pros and cons to consider

Pro: It's luxurious. For a 2003 vehicle, the first-gen Cayenne packs great features such as 12-way power-adjustable seats, full-leather interior, etc.

Pro: Performance is stellar, especially with the high-end Turbo models. 550 hp with the ability to hit 60mph in a mere 4.7 seconds isn't a joke

Pro: It's off-road ready. It's higher ground clearance, a standard 4x4 drive type and great suspension makes it conquer the terrains

Pro: Off-road build possible. It may set you back a few grand, but you can easily jack up the suspension, throw in some off-road tires, and even add beefier bumpers for that robust look

Pro: It's affordable. You can get a looked-after first-gen Cayenne model for as little as $10,000, but more desirable Turbo and Turbo S models will cost a premium

Con: High fuel consumption. The EPA rated the 2003 Cayenne Turbo with 12 MPG city and 17 MPG highway. But that was when it was new. Efficiency decreases in combustion engines over time and the Cayenne shouldn't be any exception

Con: High maintenance. The Cayenne is a luxury SUV and with time, its components will start to fail. This means you're likely to spend more on the parts than actually buying the car

Con: Less reliable. Repairpal has scored the first-gen Cayenne with a meager 1.5 out of 5.0 regarding reliability. The engine, gearbox, differential, and the suspension are the components that needs repairs and replacements over time

While the T-Hybrid equipped 911 Carrera GTS is more techy, the regular Carrera is all the 911 you need

Even for an entry level car, the 2025 911 Carrera is quite expensive, starting at $122,000

The base 911 is quite the potent sports car, thanks to a massaged 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six pushing out 388 hp, 9 more than the outgoing Carrera

The slight increase in power makes the 2025 911 Carrera a tenth of a second quicker to 60 mph: 3.7 seconds. Top speed is rated at an astounding 183 mph

You can do some laps in a 911 Carrera. For the 2025, it gets larger brakes with six-piston brakes.

Also, the base 911 Carrera is lighter than the hybrid GTS, which means it can corner more efficiently

For the 2025 model year, Porsche updated the front bumpers and the LED lights, which now comes with Matrix LEDs as standard

You can opt for these optional HD Matrix LEDs if you'd want, for $2,530

Stepping inside, there are some major changes, including a 12.6-inch fully digital driver's display and a regular start/stop button instead of a LeMans-style knob
