Despite its high cost and impracticality, the Porsche 911 GT3 is a dream car for many enthusiasts

The latest GT3 boasts a powerful naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter engine with 510 horsepower that can reach a top speed of 190 mph

The aggressive design with a massive wing prioritizes downforce for superior track performance

However, the stiff suspension makes for a rough ride on public roads

Buying a GT3 comes at a price, averaging over $260,000 on the used market, which is nearly $100,000 more than the original MSRP

Touring models command a premium over a standard GT3

Even basic consumables like tires are expensive, with a set of Michelins costing over $1,600.

Maintenance costs are high due to the exclusivity of Porsche parts, service and insurance are also high, given exclusivity

As a daily driver, the more feature-packed 992.1 Turbo S, also priced similarly makes more sense

While not practical, the 992.1 GT3 remains an exhilarating track toy for those who prioritize raw driving experience

German Tuner MANHART's kit takes one of the most collectible 911s and turns it to the max

The 991 GT2 RS was produced in 1,000 copies, making it desirable by Porsche collectors

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

MANHART applies tasteful mods to both the bodywork and the powertrain

The result is a mind-boggling 945 hp and 774 pound-feet of torque compared to the 690 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque from the standard car

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

These spy shots by CarSpyMedia show a 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS MR, which is a collaboration between Porsche and Manthey Racing, aimed at enhancing the performance of the standard GT3 RS

The MR features aggressive aerodynamics, including a massive swan-neck rear wing, vortex generators, and a redesigned rear diffuser, to increase downforce and stability

Additional aero enhancements include a redesigned front splitter with dive planes, larger canards, and a huge horizontal fin replacing the rear window

Manthey is also likely to offer adjustable coil over suspension for better adjustability

Lightweight magnesium wheels with aero discs upgraded brakes and braided lines

The MR is expected to significantly improve the GT3 RS's lap times on the track

But it won't be eligible for official Nürburgring records for a production car, due to being an aftermarket kit

The Manthey Performance Kit for the 911 GT3 is expected to be more expensive than the existing kit for the standard GT3's $60,500 asking price

While the MR is a track-focused machine, it remains to be seen how many GT3 RS owners will actually take advantage of its extreme capabilities

Given that the car in the spy shots looks production-ready, the official announcement should be soon.

Porsche commemorates 50 years of the original Turbo is by offering a limited-production model with a special appearance package

However, one Reddit user decided to spec a regular Turbo S as close as possible to a Turbo S 50 Years

It turns out you can save around $30,000 by NOT going for the special version

The Turbo S 50 Years is, essentially, an appearance package

Additional badging with golden accents is exclusive to the 50th annviersary edition

The appearance of the 50 Years model features a unique "Turbo 50" badge on the rear decklid

You can spec the interior in a classic theme, featuring Tartan and dark-grey inserts, instead of gloss-black

The Turbo S 50 Years has exclusive wheel finish in silver and satin, which the regular car doesn't have

Essentially, the Turbo S 50 Years is just an appearance package

Mechanically, the Turbo S 50 Years features the same 640-horsepower flat-six engine

This is the Turbo S 50 Years, spec'd without the optional decals

When configured similarly, the regualr Turbo S and the 50 Years have a price difference of over $27,000

Spec'd to look as close as possible to the 50 Years edition, the 992 Turbo S will set you back $269,785

While the 50 Years package, equipped with a few options encrouches on the $300,000 mark

For argument's sake, I played around with Porsche's configurator and got different results

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

From a private event in California, Jonny Lieberman of MotorTrend.com shared some interesting teaser images on Instagram

California-based Oil Stain Lab is developing a limited-edition hypercar called the HF-11

The HF-11 is inspired by the Half 11, a previous project by Oil Stain Lab that combined a 1967 911 with a Le Mans-style racer

Here are some more renders, featuring a contrasting red and white color-scheme

The HF-11 is powered by a flat-six engine that revs up to 12,500 rpm, delivering exhilarating power and a unique sound

The engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, providing a direct and engaging driving experience

The cabin of the HF11 is minimalistic and stripped-down, featuring exposed carbon fiber, traditional instruments, and carbon tub seats

The HF-11 features a carbon-fiber tub, keeping its weight under 2,000 pounds, making it significantly lighter than many other hypercars

The hypercar generates 1,800 pounds of downforce, comparable to a 917k, ensuring exceptional stability and cornering performance

Oil Stain Lab is also developing an electric version of the HF11, claiming it's lighter than the gas-powered model

The electric HF11 will also have a six-speed manual transmission, a unique choice

Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, revealed their new custom Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT and a Porsche 911 GT3 on social media

Zuckerberg, known for his love of technology and mostly had a modest selection of cars like the Honda Fit and VW Golf GTI, as his daily drivers

The Cayenne Turbo GT minivan was a special request from Zuckerberg, who wanted a more practical vehicle for his family

The standard Cayenne Turbo GT is one of the most potent SUVs on sale today

It currently holds the Nürburgring record in the SUV class, with a time of 7:28.925, set in 2021

The coupe-like roofline on the standard car eats into the headroom, which is a five-seater with a bench

This stretched Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan courtesy of West Coast Customs, features a longer-wheel base, sliding doors and should make for an excellent family hauler

But how did they accomplish the carbon roof, which seems a bit pointless with this transformation

The Cayenne Turbo GT minivan complements Zuckerberg's Porsche 911 GT3, creating a matching pair of high-performance vehicles

The Cayenne Turbo GT minivan maintains the same powerful engine and advanced technology as the standard model

West Coast Customs has hinted at more upcoming projects with Zuckerberg. Watch this space.

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

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
