The wait is finally over! We’ve been poring over those blurry spy shots for months now, speculating on the finer points of the new 992.2 Porsche 911 GT3. But the guessing game is officially done. Mark your calendars for October 18th, because that’s when Porsche throws the digital confetti and unveils the next chapter of the brand’s naturally-aspirated story in all its glory.

5 Budget Driver-Focused Porsches That Should Be On Your Radar

These Porsches may not be amongst the greatest models from the German sports car maker, but they do make up for it with a thrilling drive on the cheap

Porsche cars are widely considered as some of the best sports cars that are also suitable for daily drivers. While there are a few exceptions, those being the more track-focused GT variants of the 911 and 718 models, the level of engineering and fine-tuning that goes into a Porsche is matched only by a few other companies in the industry. And even then, they would charge you a lot more. But that doesn’t mean Porsche sports cars are affordable.

Porsche 911 GT3 (992.1): Irrational Love Affair Or Ultimate Driving Machine?

With the seemingly high barrier to entry, find out if the hype around one of Porsche's last ever naturally-aspirated 911s is justified

Let’s be honest, to some, the Porsche 911 GT3, regardless of the generation, is a car that makes absolutely no sense and seems to defy logic. On paper, it’s a financial nightmare. A gas-guzzling, high-maintenance sports car with a price tag that could buy a fleet of sensible sedans. Yet, there it is, consistently selling out and occupying a place of reverence in the hearts of gearheads everywhere. So, what is it about this beast that makes people lose their minds? Having not driven one myself (Yet! Although it’s high on my bucket list!), I can only speculate based on countless hours of internet drooling and the wisdom of reviewers far braver (or wealthier) than me.

Is This Why Porsche And Michelin Developed A Brand New Tire For The 20-Year Old Carrera GT?

While these cutting-edge tires should make the analog CGT quicker and safer, there could be more to the development of this fresh rubber than meets the eye

Born from Porsche’s shattered F1 dreams, the Carrera GT is considered one of the last truly analog supercars of the early 2000s and when I say analog, I genuinely do mean it. This thing had traction control and ABS, and that’s it. No fancy stability control to save you from your own stupidity.

Find out how enhancing the most radical 991ever made, makes the 992 Turbo seem obsolete

The Porsche 911 has always had a myriad of versions, ranging from sporty grand tourers and supercar slayers to all-out track weapons. While the Turbo is the most recurring name when it comes to high-performance Porsche 911s that you can daily drive, there is another model that takes the usable sports car formula and makes it meaner. I am, of course, referring to the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, which is essentially a more powerful, turbocharged GT3 RS. The GT2 RS is the most powerful variant of the Porsche 911 lineup with the exception of the GT1, but we haven’t had one of those in a while.

The Porsche Panamera has always been a bit of a unicorn in the luxury sedan world. It’s a proper driver’s car that just happens to have four doors. And when it comes to engines, the Panamera offers something for everyone. Fancy a smooth V6? They’ve got it. Craving a rumbling V8? Step right up.

And if you really want to blow your socks off, there’s the Turbo S E-Hybrid with a whopping 771 horsepower.

In what appears to be the most extreme 992 GT3 RS in the making, here's what Manthey Racing may have in store

Let’s face it, the standard Porsche 992 GT3 RS is already a track monster. It’s a car that thrives on pushing limits, begging to be unleashed on the world’s most demanding circuits and race tracks. But for some drivers, "enough" is never enough. Enter the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS MR, an extreme machine set to be unleashed by the combined might of Porsche and their long-time racing partner, Manthey Racing. I’ve been following the development of this car closely for a while now, and am absolutely blown away by the sheer amount of engineering that’s gone into it. Not too long ago, an un-camouflaged white prototype was spotted at the Nordschleife, giving us an up-close look at the possible performance upgrades that Manthey is cooking up. Based on what I’ve seen in the spy shots from CarSpyMedia, I wanted to highlight some of the features of this performance racing kit.

If you wish to recreate the limited run model, here's how you can save nearly $30,000 on a 992.1 Turbo S, by knowing which options to tick in the Porsche configurator

Every Porsche 911 has its fair share of special editions. These have become more frequent, especially with the newer generations of the German sports car and the 992 is no exception. In 2024, Porsche marked 50 years of the original, 1974 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo, and naturally, a special variant of the current model was in order. These models are highly sought-after by collectors due to their historical significance and their limited production numbers. In the case of the 2024 Porsche 992 Turbo S 50 Years edition, just 1974 will be made. Naturally, Porsche will ask a pretty penny for the 50th anniversary edition.

Porsche Panamera Interior Evolution: Redefinining The 2+2 Formula Over Three Generations

From analog to full digital and more on-board luxury than ever, here's how Porsche's flagship sports sedan has changed over the years

Some might scoff at the idea of a Porsche with four doors and an engine up front. But drive the 2025 Panamera, and you’ll quickly realize it shares more than a few genes with its legendary 911 cousin. First unveiled at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show, the original Panamera raised eyebrows with its distinctive sloping roofline and – dare I say it – bulbous rear end. Yet, it was undeniably a Porsche, with a luxurious interior and a bunch of powerful engine options that made it a proper driver’s car.

Rare 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster Once Owned By Rally Legend Walter Röhrl Is Up For Grabs

Speedsters are already a rare breed, but the two-time world champion and Porsche has given this example, some unique upgrades makes it even more special

Something special caught my eye as I was browsing Bring-A-Trailer the other day, a special 911 Speedster with an interesting ownership story. The 1989 911 Speedster is a pretty rare car by itself, with only 823 examples produced. But the interesting thing that drew my attention was who the ex-owner of the car was - Walter Röhrl. That name is instantly familiar to those of us who are enamored with motorsports and the Porsche brand. The man is a two-time former WRC Champion and Porsche factory driver/brand ambassador.

5 Times Porsche Cars Were Unceremoniously Destroyed In Movies

No replicas here as movie producers decided to destroy real Porsche sports cars while filming

There cannot be a car movie without a great selection of performance cars. Many sports cars have gained popularity through pop culture, whether it is the big screen or video games. Porsche’s iconic sports cars also have their place in pop culture, with more than a few being featured in famous blockbusters from the movie industry. That said, not all movie cars share the same fate, and oftentimes, cars get destroyed in movies. No Porsche can truly be classified as an affordable car and this goes double for the German automaker’s sports cars.
