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.

This 1997 Porsche 911 GT1 is one of only 9 race cars Porsche sold to privateers

The condition of this veteran race car is surprisingly immaculate, considering the grueling nature of Endurance racing

Being a '97 model, this 911 GT1 features 993 front headlights for homologation purposes

The 993 GT1 taillights, however, come from the Porsche 996

This particular 911 GT1 Race version is chassis number 108 and one of the most successful 911 GT1s to grace IMSA and Le Mans

The 911 GT1 is the only mid-engine Porsche 911

The 911 GT1's clamshell hides a twin-turbo, water-cooled flat-six, and one of the last Mezger engines

In order for the 911 GT1 Rennversion to go racing, Porsche built 25 Street versions of the GT1

Unlike the road-going GT1s, which came with a 6-speed manual, the Race version had a sequential transmission

Even early, 993 GT1 variants could hit 62 moh in 3.9 seconds and blast down the 1/4-mile in 11.6 seconds

On the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans, the Porsche 911 GT1 reached over 191 mph. The GT1 Evo was even faster, at 205 mph

At just 2,480 pounds, the 993 GT1 was lightweight

The 993 GT1's rear subframe was a direct- carry-over from its predecessor, the Porsche 962

This 1997 Porsche 911 GT1 has the potential to become one of the most expensive Porsches ever sold at an auction. Swipe up for more details

Hans Mezger started and ended his career as an engine builder, at Porsche, making the most successful Porsche engines in motorsports

Most Mezger engines were air-cooled,but the Swan Song was a 4.0-liter, water-cooled M97.74

The last Mezger engine was made specifically for the most hardcore, naturally-aspirated Porsche 997 - the GT3 RS 4.0

At 2,998 lbs, the Porche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 was a lightweight as the analog 996 GT3 RS, but with more power

The last Mezger engine produced 493 hp at 8,250 RPM and 339 lb-ft at 5,750 RPM

997 GT3 RS 4.0 is also the last 911 GT3 model offered exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission

Even with the aggressive aero bits, the Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 reaches a top speed of 190 mph

With a 0 to 60 mph achieved in around 4.0 seconds, the 997 GT3 RS 4.0 can shame many modern performance cars in a straight line. Even more on a track

The first Porsche 911 to feature center-lock wheels as standard

The 4.0 badge returned with the 2016 911 GT3 RS, but it didn't have a Mezger engine

Despite many innovations, the new engine did not produce more power

Hans Mezger's last creation is one considered the purest Porsche 911 GT3 of all time, making the 997 GT3 RS 4.0 one of he best investments for those who have one

Just 600 units of the 997 GT3 RS 4.0 were built between 2011 and 2012. Just 141 were originally sold in the U.S.

Because of Federal U.S. mandates, the most hardcore, naturally aspirated 996 wasn't available to American 911 enthusiasts

The 996 GT3 RS went on an extensive diet to save weight, but a lot more was changed from the regular 996 GT3

The GT3 RS features more downforce, less weight, and completely different suspension, compared to the regular 911 GT3

The 996 generation is the last 911 GT3 RS to weigh under 3,000 pounds

With a 0 to 60 mph time of around 4.0 seconds, the 996 GT3 RS puts even modern performance cars to shame

The last analog 911 GT3 RS. No ABS, no ESC, no traction control

All Porsche 996 GT3 RS models feature unique red or blue graphics, inspired by classic 911 models like the Carrera 2.7 RS

The 3.6-liter M96 engine in the GT3 RS was, reportedly underrated at 376 hp at 7,400 RPM

Some say the Porsche 996 GT3 RS' M96.79 flat-6 engine makes closer to 400 horsepower

Even with the aggressive aero, the Porsche 996 GT3 RS is capable of 190 mph

In true tradition, power goes to the rear through a 6-speed manual transmission

Between 2003 and 2004, just 682 examples of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS were built

The average 996 GT3 RS, currently, costs about the same as a 2024 992 GT3 RS. Hardly a performance car bargain

You will have to wait until 2028 to legally import the Porsche 996 GT3 RS into the U.S.

If you think the Taycan EV was the first Porsche to feature an all-digital dash, think again

Porsche recently debuted the 992.2 911 Carrera and GTS models for 2025

This latest 911 ditches traditional gauges for a 12.65-inch curved digital-screen

The 911 takes inspiration from the 16.8-inch panel on the Taycan

While a screen is more configurable, it simply doesn't offer the drama of an analog rev-counter

Clearly the case on the pre-facelift model which has a physical tachometer flanked by two 7.0-inch panels

Analog fans will surely miss the traditional 5-gauge setup found on older 911s

Having said that, Porsche dabbled with the idea of a digital instrument cluster two decades ago

The Carrera GT concept from 2000 featured a flat LCD panel about 8.0-10 inches across

Although the final production variant did feature traditional analog gauges

We wonder, could Porsche have not retained some physical element, like the moving rev counter on the Lexus LFA?
