New York-based RSR Project is a company specializing in restoring and modifying Porsche 911s into modern-day RSR replicas

The original Porsche 911 RSR was a dominant race car in the 1970s, known for its lightweight design and performance

RSR Project focuses on creating classic-looking cars with modern performance enhancements

Their latest creation is a 1986 Porsche 911 transformed into a Gulf Blue RSR replica

The car undergoes a complete body, mechanical, and interior restoration

Exterior features include period-correct body panels, bumpers

The Carrera livery is another touch that pays homage to the OG race car

The Interior features vintage-style seats, a custom dashboard, and RS-style door panels

The engine is a 3.4-liter flat-six producing 235 horsepower

RSR Project prioritizes driver engagement over power, saving close to 1,000 pounds over a standard 1980s 911

The chassis is upgraded with Bilstein shocks and four-piston brakes

The car offers a modern interpretation of the classic RSR experience

Original RSR cars are extremely expensive costing between $2.4 to 2.8 million and rarely driven

The starting price for a custom RSR Project car is $375,000

They take between 12 to 18 months to complete

RSR Project cars offer a more affordable and enjoyable way to experience the RSR spirit.

We envision a cross between the Taycan and Cayenne models to be a Porsche van

VW, currently, has the I.D. Buzz, but it is too small to serve as a base for a Porsche van

The Taycan's J1 platform would be the perfect candidate to underpin a Porsche van

Taycan front fascia hints at the Porsche van being fully-electric

Cayenne design traits neatly fit the rear-end design of the hypothetical Porsche van

A more aggressively-styled design hints at a high-performance Porsche van

Mercedes did something similar with the R-Class, but it wasn't a sales hit

This is not the first time that Porsche has made a vam. In the 1980s, Porsche modified a VW T3 Bus, that featured a 911 flat-six

The VW I.D Buzz is only one reason why a Porsche van would, likely, never happen now

Porsche recently introduced the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach package with a focus on extreme performance

The no cost Weissach package is an option that transforms the Turbo GT into a track-focused machine

The most striking feature of the Weissach package is the removal of rear seats

It helps with reduction on this 4-door all-electric sports sedan

Things stay the same up front, but the rear seat delete saves 137 pounds compared to the Taycan Turbo

The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 was another car that featured such a setup

It was available with an optional two-seat-only track pack

Additionally, the Taycan Turbo GT also features optimized aerodynamics with a fixed rear wing

Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tires, stiffer suspension and chassis tuning enhance handling and performance

The weight savings and track-focused upgrades helped the Taycan Turbo GT Weissach to achieve a record-breaking Nürburgring time of 7:07.551

The Taycan Turbo GT Weissach competes with the Tesla Model S Plaid and Lucid Air Sapphire

While the Tesla offers a more affordable high-performance E.V., the Lucid and Porsche focus on luxury and driving dynamics

With its two-seat setup, the Weissach package on the Taycan Turbo GT prioritizes track performance over practicality

Collecting model cars can become an expensive hobby

Available in various sizes and price points, 1:18 scale hits the sweet spot for die-cast model cars

Porsche Design of America will soon offer this limited edition 1:18 scale model of the 718 Cayman GT4 RS

The model features a white exterior with green accents and a black interior

It appears to have the Weissach package, usually a $13,250 option on the real car

The Weissach package add carbon fiber exterior body panels that helps save 50 pounds

Adding the green accents seen on the model car don't seem to be possible in the configurator

But a Cayman GT4 RS with the Weissach package will set you back an eye-watering $182,915

Limited to just 718 examples, this 1:18 Cayman GT4 RS will soon be available for a far more reasonable $425

Porsche currently offers eight limited edition scale models of the 718 series

While not currently in stock, the most expensive scale model on the Porsche website is the 1:8 scale 1998 911 GT1, priced at $14,916

The 1979 Porsche 928 Coupe from the movie "Risky Business" has come up for auction

The car is set to cross the auction at the Bonhams' Quail Auction on August 16th

This specific Porsche is one of three cars, used in the film and is the "hero car" due to its extensive screen time

Interestingly, Tom Cruise learned to drive a manual transmission in this very car, making it even more collectible

Producer Jon Avnet helped Tom Cruise learn to drive stick on this very example

The car has undergone a meticulous restoration and retains its original movie-era features, including cast signatures on the sun visor

This 928 was originally white but repainted Platinum Metallic for the movie, a color unavailable until 1981

The 928 was Porsche's attempt at a GT car with a 50:50 weight distribution, a departure from the traditional flat-six 911

Equipped with a 4.5-liter V8 engine and a five-speed manual transmission, it stands out as only 20% of US-bound 928s were manual

Despite its age, the 928's design holds up well compared to contemporary Porsche models like the 924 and 944

This particular Porsche previously sold at auction in 2021 for $1.8 million

It's estimated to fetch between $1.4 million and $1.8 million at the upcoming Bonhams auction at Monterey Car Week

As a collector's item and a piece of cinematic history, this Porsche 928 is highly sought after by both car enthusiasts and movie fans

The Porsche 997.1 is the quintessential 911 Turbo as it perfectly blends classic and modern

997 is the last generation 911 Turbo to be offered with a manual transmission

The 997.2 adopted the PDK automatic, which replaced the outdated Tiptronic

From 2009, only the regular 997 Turbo was available with a stick. Turbo S became a PDK-only model

The 997.1 is the last 911 Turbo to be powered by a 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine that made 475 horsepower

The highlight of this powerplant and a 911-first was the variable-geometry Turbos

This enabled a much-power band for the 997.1 Turbo

The 997 Turbo manual transmission featured longer gear ratios than the 997 Carrera, despite the same 3.44:1 differential ratio

Even with the manual transmission, 0-60 mph happened in around 3.5 seconds

997 is the last 911 to feature hydraulic steering - another beloved feature of classic 911s

It was also the first Porsche 911 to offer Sport Chrono Package

Visually, the 997 also brought back the classic, round 911 headlights, ditching the fried-egg units of the 996

You get the iconic side-air intakes that are now synonymous with 911 Turbo models

The combination of Mezger engine and manual transmission makes the 997.1 Turbo highly-desirable

It is incredibly good at retaining value

Some examples go for more than the original MSRP, even after 15 years

This is the Indecent 005, a radically customized 2012 Porsche 991.1 Carrera S

This widebody Porsche represents a stark contrast to the usual customizations

This is because most people associate widebody kits with the likes of RWB, which are mostly based on air-cooled Porsches

The Indecent 005, being based on a 991.1 generation is water-cooled

The car was conceived and built in Poland over a two year period

Every body panel, except the hood, roof, and doors, was modified

The rear of the car is dramatically wider, stretching 84 inches compared to the original 991.1’s 71.1 inches

Upfront you get a subtle chin spoiler and more modern PDLS+ headlights

The car sits on Rotiform KPS 20x10.5 and 20x13 wheels

Equipped with a custom exhaust, the flat-six is rated at 414 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque

The design of the **Optional wing incorporates elements inspired by the 911 GT3 R Rennsport

The rear-end particularly comes together well with the custom LED lightbar at the rear

This particular car is eligible for import to the U.S.

According tot the Facebook listing, it's priced at 152,000 Euros (approximately $164,000)

For comparison, a 2025 911 Carrera GTS starts at around $164,900

It is also significantly less than a custom RWB build which can range from $200,000 to over $500,000

Only two more Indecent 005 builds are planned

The 718 Cayman GT4 RS is the most track-focused variant of Porsche's mid-engine sports car

It is also the only Porsche 718 to share an engine with the 911

The 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-6 comes from the Porsche 992 GT3 and revs to 9,000 RPM while making 493 hp and 331 lb-ft

The Cayman GT4 RS features numerous chassis upgrades, including the entire front-body section of a 991 Carrera 4

One unique feature of the GT RS is the dual air intake. Standard Cayman 718s feature only lower air vents

Together with the carbon-fiber air-box, directly behind the driver, the air intakes make for an epic soundtrack

With the Weisach package, the Cayman GT4 RS gets more pronounced air intakes. In theory, slightly more horsepower too

Porsche says the Cayan GT4 RS makes 10 fewer ponies than the 911 GT3 thanks to a longer exhaust tract

But it still manages a 3.2-second 0-60 mph time, on its way to a top speed of 196 mph

This is thanks to revised aerodynamics and more extensive use of carbon fiber, keeping weight at 3,227 lbs

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
