Porsche commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 911 Turbo with a limited-edition model

The original 1974 911 Turbo revolutionized sports cars by introducing turbocharging technology

Based on the 992 generation 911 Turbo S, the 50 Years Edition features unique design elements

The exterior includes white Porsche script and Turbonite accents

The interior showcases tartan trim and Anthracite Grey accents for a classic look

An optional Heritage Design Package offers additional nostalgic elements

Porsche Design has created a limited-edition chronograph to complement the car

The 911 Turbo 50 Years is limited to 1,974 units with a starting price of $261,100

While the Turbo badge remains synonymous with Porsche's performance and innovation

Today, the term "Turbo" has evolved from a technical specification to a marketing tool

The 911 Turbo 50 Years is expected to arrive in U.S. dealerships in late 2024

The first Porsche 928 resto-mod has been concieved by French company, Nardone

Over 3,000 parts have been redesigned and thoroughly scanned to make the perfect, modern-day Porsche 928

The Nardone Porsche 928 is 60 mm wider than the original car

While the Nardone 928 concept car features a fiberglass body, production cars will come with carbon-fiber

Unlike the concept car, the production Nardone Porsche 928 will also have functional vents and an integrated flash function in the lower-apron vents

Nardone has even implemented Porsche's current, 4-point LED design

The rear end now features an uninterrupted LED strip

The only original 928 parts that remain are the aluminum doors

Instead of a rear hatchback, only the rear windshield will open

The original 5.0-liter V-8 is completely revised and packs 400 hp

Nardone is working on more powerful variants and even a flat-plane V-8

The gearbox is now a 6-speed manual transaxle

Vast customization options ensure no two Nardone 928s will be the same

The first 8 cars are "Launch Edition" models and will be packed with all possible options

This rare 1985 Porsche 959 Vorserie prototype to be auctioned at Monterey Car Week by RM Sotheby's

It was once owned by Ferdinand Piëch, former head of Volkswagen Group and grandson of Ferdinand Porsche

The 959 introduced groundbreaking features such as sequential turbocharging, advanced all-wheel drive, and aerodynamic refinements

It redefined the supercar segment in the 1980s and set a benchmark for generations to come

As one of only five surviving V-series prototypes, this 959 is a rare gem in the pantheon of automotive history

Meticulously documented by Porsche test driver, Dieter Röscheisen, the car's development story is fascinating

This particular Vorserie model boasts unique characteristics, including a distinctive Grandprix white exterior

Rear seats which originally featured a grey cloth upholstery, replaced by black leather

Beyond its mechanical prowess, the 959's cultural impact is undeniable

With an estimated value of $1.8 to $2.3 million, this auction car promises to be a highlight of Monterey Car Week

As the hammer falls at RM Sotheby's, a new chapter will begin for this extraordinary automobile, ensuring its legacy lives on for future generations.

The Speedster is one of the purest body styles of the Porsche 911

The Speedster was always meant to be a lightweight, open-top cruiser

The Speedster body style was introduced with the Porsche 356 back in 1948

The most distinctive feature of the Porsche Speedster is the steeply raked windshield and lack of convertible top

While the Speedster has existed across several generations of the 911, the 993 was not one of them

Officially, there was never a production variant of the 993 Speedster

But in 1995, Porsche built one for "Butzi" Porsche's 50th birthday

"Butzi" 993 Speedster was the only one that started life as a Speedster under Porsche

The only "true" 993 Speedster features a narrow body

The car's exterior is finished in Aventura Green

The 17-inch silver Carrera wheels complement the exterior paint

Inside, you get an RS interior with walnut finishes on the dash

At its heart lies a 3.6-liter flat-6, making 285 hp and 251 lb-ft

It was paired to a Tiptronic automatic transmission

To make the 993 Speedster, Porsche used parts from the 964 Speedster, of which 936 were built

A few other 993 Speedster conversions were done over the years, like Jerry Seinfeld's car, which started as a Carrera 4S Cabriolet

But "Butzi" Porsche's Aventura Green car remains the only 993 built as a Speedster from brand-new

Kalmar is a Danish company that specializes in reimagined, classic 911s

The 7-97 E-Volt is Kalmar's fourth project and the first EV car

The flat-6 makes room for a Tesla Model S powertrain with 414 hp and 442 lb-ft

Thanks to lightweight materials, the 7-97 E-Volt is barely heavier than the 964 Carrera donor car

The 0-60 mph time is comparable to a 992.2 Carrera, at around 3.8 seconds

Everything about the Kalmar 7-97 E-Volt is about sustainability and low emissions

The aerodynamically-optimize body is inspired by the 1967 Porsche 911 R

The charging port is tucked away behind the rear license plate

The 7-97 E-Volt scores subtle modernities like LED headlights

Despite being electric, it comes with a physical key

An analog charge meter replaces the rev-counter

Leather and semi-aniline materials line up the old-school interior

It comes with a shifter, resembling modern-day PDK-equipped Porsches

Kalmar 7-97 E-Volt shows us what an EV 911 could be like

Porsche has created a unique one-off Porsche 911 GT3 RS to honor Swiss racing driver, Jo Siffert

Siffert competed in Formula One, and other motorsports in the 1960s and '70s and is remembered for his partnership with Porsche

In 1968, Kurt Ahrens along with Siffert won the first international 1,000-kilometre race at the Österreichring near Zeltweg in a Porsche 917

A few years later, his life was unfortunately cut short in a fatal racing accident at the age of just 35

This one-off 911 GT3 RS features a distinctive Pure White and Viper Green color scheme of Siffert's race car livery on his 917

The car incorporates Siffert's lucky number "29" and other personal touches

Porsche lettering, period-correct decals from Bosch and Shell, along with other 917 references adorn the bodywork of the car

You'll also find an outline of the 917 on the center-lock wheels of this GT3 RS

The car's cabin combines luxury with race-inspired elements, like Jo's helmet design and the Swiss flag

Siffert's son and grandson participated in the car's creation, as part of Porsche's Sonderwunsh program

The GT3 RS serves as a living memorial to Jo Siffert and will be raffled off

The Carrera GT and RUF CT3R are both mid-engined supercars, that should appeal to Porsche enthusiats

The Porsche Carrera GT succeeds the 911 GT1 and is heavily inspired by LM GT1 race cars

The RUF CTR3 follows a similar phylosophy, but is more track-focused

The Carrera GT's V-10 was originally meant for GT1 racing and puts out 603 hp and 435 lb-ft

RUF CTR3 EVO features a heavily-modified flat-6 and one of the last Mezger engines. It puts out 789 hp and 730 lb-ft

Unlike the Carrera GT's exquisite cabin, the CTR3 EVO offers a stripped-down racecar cockpit with bucket seats

Underneath all the leather and carbon fiber in the RUF CTR3 EVO, you will find a Porsche 987 dashboard

A proper driver's car: the Carrera GT has no traction control and the only available transmission is a 6-speed manual with anti-stall function

The 5.7-liter V-10 in the Carera GT screams to over 8,000 RPM. It allows for 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph

The RUF CTR3 EVO's twin-turbo boxer engine propels it to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 236 mph

Between 2004 and 2006, just 1,270 examples of the Porsche Carrera GT were built

The EVO is the most hardcore variant of all RUF CTR3 models. Introduced in 2023, production was limtied to just 15 examples

This makes it about twice as affordable as the average Carrera GT at cots close to $1.8 million today

Besides Porsche, Subaru is one of the few automakers to embrace boxer engines, and this is the EG33 flat-six mill

It was based on the EJ-series flat-4 engines and is popular as an inexpensive option for Porsche engine swaps

The EG33 engine features thick cylinder walls, and has a sound profile that's similar to Porsche's air-cooled flat-six

Unfortunately, the EG33 engine was mated to a slow and unreliable, 4-speed automatic

Luckily, manual conversions are available and easy to perform

The EG33 was only used in the 1991-1996 Subaru Alcyone SVX coupe

Italian connection: The Subaru SVX was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign

The McLaren F1-esque side windows were more of a "form-over-function" design element

All Subaru SVXs feature a two-tone exterior from the factory

Despite the canopy-inspired roof, the sunroof does not feature a glass

Similar to a Porsche 993, the Subaru SVX featured a lightbar connecting the taillights

With a drag coefficient of 0.29, the wedge-shaped Subaru coupe could make the most of the flat-six's 220-250 hp, and reach a top speed of 154 mph

Subaru SVX was meant to be a grand tourer, and featured lots of Alcantara inside the cabin

There was almost a shooting brake model, dubbed the Amadeus, based on the SVX and using the same flat-six engine

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
