Its MDH.NA engine is based on the Turbo S mill and makes 690 hp and 553 lb-ft from factory

At 3,241 pounds, the GT2 RS is one of hte lightest 911s. The Weisach package sheds another 66 pounds

The GT2 RS' 7-speed PDK has also been beefed up to handle more power

MANHART's visual treatment includes new, carbon-fiber aero kit

The new front apron is even more aggressive, thanks to new air intake vents and a new spoiler with side-extensions

Certain bits, like the front hood, were deemed aggressive enough and left unchanged

The stock rear wing gets TR 900 decals on the side

The carbon-fiber and Alcantara-dominated interior has also been left unchanged

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

This is enough for a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.2 seconds

If you've ever wondered about the associated costs with the latest Porsche 911, here's a quick break down

Every Porsche 911 comes with a 4-year/ 50,000-mile warranty

An oil change is the only maintenance required at the 1-year mark and will set you back between $450-$625

For year 2, Porsche advises you flus hthe brake fluid and change the pollen filter - $1,450

At 30,000 miles, you will need to change your 911's spark plugs

Year 4: time for the first major service - belts, pulleys, filters

During your fifth year, you are no longer under warranty. You can save some money by going to a trusted independent specialist

A drive-belt replacement at 60,000 miles is a must. It will set you back $750 on average

If your Porsche 911 has a PDK transmission, you need to service it every 60,000 miles

If your 911 has a manual transmission, the service interval is 12 years or 120,000 miles. It's also cheaper to service than the PDK

The differential fluid needs to be changed at the 10-year mark. AWD models have two

Ownership of every brand-new 911 starts with a sales tax - typically between 0 and 8.25 percent depending on the state

Insurance and gas guzzler tax for the 911 will set you back at least $1,300 each

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is insanely capable and costs a pretty penny, but one car matches its speed for half the price

Codenamed "Blue Devil", the 2009 C6 Corvette ZR-1 is capable enough to embarrass most exotic cars

What the 'Vette lacks in refinement, it more than makes up with grit and attitude

Said attitude comes from the LS9 supercharged V-8 that packs 638 hp and 604 lb-ft

The C6 ZR-1 sends its massive power only to the rear wheels, through one of the most popular 6-speed manual transmissions

It looks mean and it goes like it: 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds. First gear is good for 67 mph

The top speed of the C6 ZR-1 is limtied to 205 mph

The C6 ZR-1 is 272 pounds lighter than the 992 Turbo S, giving is superior power-to-weight ratio

The C6 ZR-1 was also the first Chevrolet Corvette to feature carbon-ceramic brakes

With 398 mm front brake rotors and 380mm at the rear

The C6 ZR-1 stops from 60 mph to a standstill in 98 feet - almost identical to the 992 Turbo S' 97 feet

A true bargain. Current prices average around $89,000. Half the price of a base 992 Turbo

The 2025 Porsche 992 Turbo starts at just under $200,000, before options. The 50th Anniversary edition will set you back over $260,000

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

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

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

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