The Porsche Slant nose also known as "Flachbau” first appeared on the 930-based Porsche 935 race car in the late 1970s

The more aerodynamic front end improved downforce while making the car more slippery

The brainchild behind the Slant Nose was engineer, Norbert Singer, to which the famous Restomodder Singer Vehicle Design pays homage

The regular 930 Turbo had terrible aerodynamics - around 0.50 Cd or coefficient of drag

The Slant Nose front-end improved the drag coefficient to 0.39 Cd

The first road-going slant-nose Porsche was the one-off 935 Street

The "Flachbau" first became an option for the Porsche 930, in 1982

The 930 Slantnose is the only Porsche 911 to feature factory pop-up headlights

Slant-nose 930s did not feature engine upgrades and retained the stock 326 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque

The Porsche slant nose, was available, not just for the coupe, but also for the cabriolet and Targa body styles

But despite the inherent advantages of the Slant Nose front-end, over 95 percent of all Porsche 930 Turbos built, were ordered with the regular front-end

Additionally, German tuner RUF reportedly carried out some conversions, but they are believed to have been factory slant-nose 930, dubbed the RUF BTR III

This also included the likes of the 1984 RUF 935 RSR

Another super-rare Slant nose model is the 3.6 Turbo S Flachbau, based on the 964 chassis. Only 76 were built, with only 39 imported Stateside

The Gemballa Avalanche Turbo, seen here was an even more extreme expression of the Slantonose 930

In more recent times, 2019 to be more specific, Porsche revived the Slant Nose name once, this time with the 991.2-based Porsche 935

Production was limited to just 77 examples and its not road-legal

Porsche has built some truly astonishing and historically significant models in its 75+ years of existence

Porsche Type 64 was founder, Ferdinand Porsche's vision of the perfect sports car

Despite the VW Beetle engine, it was one of the fastest cars of its day in 1939, thanks to a very low drag coefficient

The 356 was Porsche’s sports car, long before the 911

The 1,113-cc, air-cooled flat-four was a carry-over from the Type 64 and is the precursor to all other 356s and it is a true one-off car

The 1953 Porsche 550 Spyder was the brand's first race car

550 corresponds to the weight figure in kilograms - 1,212 pounds

Originally conceived as a Le Mans-winning car in 1969, the Porsche 917 laid the foundation for future turbocharged Porsches

Between 1969 and 1971, a total of 37 cars were built, in different body styles and varying power outputs

Later variants of the Porsche 917K developed up to 1,580 horsepower

The 2.7 Carrera RS established many traditions in the 911 lineup

Making its debut in 1972, this was the precursor to Porsche 911 GT models

It was the first Porsche to feature a ducktail spoiler, among other features

Thanks to a Mezger-build flat-6 the Carrera 2.7 RS was the fastest car of its day

The original 911 Turbo earned a grim reputation and an awesome nickname - the Widowmaker

The way the turbo built boost made the car violent and fairly unpredictable, causing many accidents, some of which fatal

Despite that, the Porsche 930 Turbo is one of the most desired, classic 911s

In 1986, the Porsche 959 was officially the fastest production car in the world

The 959 is Porsche's first supercar and one of the most advanced vehicles of its time

Its flat-6 was partially water-cooled and featured twin turbochargers, good for 444 or 508 horsepower in the 959 S

The Porsche Carrera GT is considered the last analog supercar, featuring next to zero driver assists and a manual transmission

Its V-10 engine was originally meant to be used in racing but was later adapted for road use. To this day, it has one of the most iconic sounds

Similar to the 930 Turbo "Widowmaker", the Carrera GT developed reputation for being very demanding on the driver

A one-off Porsche 718 Spyder RS commemorates the company's historic win of the 1954 Carrera Panamericana

The one-off model is handcrafted by the Porsche Sonderwunsch program in collaboration with Porsche Latin America

The styling emulates that of the Porche 550 Spyder, driven by Hans Hermann in 1954

The 718 Spyder RS is the perfect choice for an homage to the 550. It is the most powerful, track-focused, and lightweight mid-engine Porsche you can buy

The TAG Heuer shield is proudly displayed on the front, like on the original race car

TAG Heuer motives can also be found on the center-lock wheels

THe most exquisite feature is the TAG Heuer Chronograph Tourbillion time piece, for which a special compartment was designed

The interior features the full RS treatment, with emphasis on lightweight

Extensive use of leather and Alcantara is accompanied by Panamericana Special details, signifying the exclusivity of the car

The 718 Spyder RS Panamericana Special is the last of three models to commemorate the iconic race

Back in 2023, Porsche introduced a special one-off based on the 718 Cayman GT4 RS

...alongside a 992 Cabriolet variant that also celebrated the Carrera Panamericana

That same car and driver combo won the 1954 Carrera Panamericana, solidifying Porsche's image as a sports carmaker

Performance-wise, the one-off 718 Spyder RS remains unchanged from the regular model

If you've ever wondered, which were some of the most noteworthy Porsche's to be destroyed on the silver screen, we've got you covered, with five examples

In Risky Business (1983), starring Tom Cruise, they destroyed a Porsche 928

This is allegedly the car that Tom Cruise learned to drive stick in

The 4.5-liter V-8 in this 928 made just 219 horsepower since US models were strangled by regulations

Porsche 928s equipped with a manual transmisison account for only 10 to 15 percent of all 928s produced

The "Risky Business" Porsche 928 was finished in Platinum Metallic. A few cars were used - some survived

The movie Torque (2004) was a playful joke from motorcycle riders to car drivers. A Speed Yellow Porsche 993 was caught in the middle

The air-cooled Porsche was squashed by a Hummer H1 that landed on top of it

The movie car was made to look like a 993 Carrera RS Clubsport, but a experts will notice the irregularities

In Death Race (2008), one of the racers drove a heavily-modified 911 G-body with a missile launcher at the front

The G-Body 911 has its own charm, but that wasn't enough to spare one particular example from being blown to bits

The car was confirmed to be a 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera SC, which stands for "Super Carrera"

This means that the 3.0-liter flat-six is fuel-injected and has a 5-speed, 915 manual transmission

They spared no expense when filming the 2007 Reline. Not one, but two rare Porsches were crashed

The 2 Carrera GT cars that were destroyed in the movie were, allegedly, owned by the movie director, Andy Cheng

Just 1,270 examples of the Porsche Carrera GT were made, and more than a few had already been crashed

In Fast X (2023), they destroyed a real Porsche 997 GT3 by blowing it up

The 997 represents one of the most iconic, modern-day 911s, including the last Mezger-powered 911 and the last manual Turbo

ES Motor recently demonstrated just how little it takes to enhance the 992 Turbo's performance to hypercar levels

Even the lowesr, ES700 package is good for insane improvements over the stock 911 Turbo S

More than you pay for: ES700 gets you 720 hp to the wheels, translating to 847 to the crankshaft

ES Motor's exhaust and a custom map are all that's needed to give the 911 Turbo over 200 extra horsepower

The 0 to 60 mph is near-identical to the stock 992 Turbo S, but the 0-214 mph happens more 1.5 seconds quicker

ES Motor specialists recommend you change the Goodyear Eagle F1 tires for a more aggressive tire, for optimal results

The range-topping ES900 package gives you hypercar-shaming capabilities

The kit adds new intercoolers, hybrid turbos, headers, new air filters, and more

Hypercar power achieved, but ES Motor does additional refinements to ensure reliability

The final tune makes less power, but torque is flatter across the rev range

The ES900 does 0-124 mph in 3.8-4.1 seconds - quicker than Bugatti Chiron and Koenigsegg Jesko, at 5.5 and 4.6 seconds, respecetively

At around $40,000, this is the cheapest way to make the 992 Turbo a hypercar slayer
