The Porsche 944 comes from the German automaker’s transaxle era (1970-1990) when the brand experimented with different drivetrain layouts. It was part of the company’s efforts to make a sports car that was more affordable and balanced than the rear-engined Porsche 911. The front-engined 944 was an evolution of the 924 developed with Volkswagen. Today, the 944 is becoming a popular classic car, but unlike 911s from the time (930), you can still find them for a relatively cheap price. Good examples can be found for around $5,000.

Back in 2004, Laurent Maman tragically passed away in an automobile accident while he was driving his beloved Polo GTI. For the past 20+ years, his friends have kept his memory alive through his car. Laurent was passionate about cars and loved his VW Polo which became the base platform for the Polo e-drive concept. For the past 10 years, this Polo has been transformed into an EV, with all of his friends contributing their expertise. Jerome of the Out Of Spec Renew YouTube Channel recently caught up with Julien LV, one of the creators of the Polo EDrive Concept, at the Players Classic Car Show in the U.K.

Porsche purists are very particular about what you can and cannot do to a 911, especially if it is an air-cooled model. While this particular example of the German, rear-engine sports car is water-cooled, what the people at Street Bandito YouTube channel have done to it would, no doubt, irritate many Porsche enthusiasts. The Porsche 911 is considered, by many, to be the ultimate sports car that you can actually daily-drive, except maybe, the more track-focused variants like the GT3. Regardless, putting a V-8 engine, and an American one at that, into a 911’s tight engine bay is sacrilege in the eyes of the Porsche community. That said, there are certain scenarios where you could walk away with putting a pushrod V-8 engine in a Porsche 911, and this particular case comes pretty close to justifying the unusual engine swap.

Remember YouTuber Danny Z’s budget Porsche that we featured recently? Danny and his crew bought a beat-up 996 911 from Copart Auctions for $10,000. They completely transformed the looks of the stock car by throwing on a GT3 body kit. But the driving experience left something to be desired. It was time to make the car handle better, on a budget, of course. While this isn’t a full-blown tune to unlock more performance from the flat-6, the Copart Porsche did receive a few vital upgrades to improve its handling and more crucially, the way it sounds.

YouTuber Danny Z recently bought the cheapest 996 911 in the United States. After an intense bidding battle on Copart auctions where he lost out on some potential gems, he finally got his 1999 996, which was missing most of the front end, including the bumper, the hood, and the headlights. It ended up costing him just $10,000 to acquire. However, the car required a ton of work before it would be back on the road, but it was work that Danny was willing to do gladly.
