Legendary racing cars, such as the Vasek Polak Racing 934 and the Kremer-prepared Wally’s Jeans 911 Carrera 3.0 RSR, took center stage, showcasing Porsche's racing heritage

The unrestored 917 Kurzheck, a participant in the 1971 Spa 1000km, served as a powerful reminder of Porsche's early motorsport exploits

Other notable cars included the Type 930, a factory-restored classic; and the Porsche 962, an endurance racing powerhouse

Blending modern performance with classic aesthetics, you also had the likes of stunning Restomods from the likes of Singer and Gunther Werks

Beyond the racing legends, Luftgekühlt celebrated the personal stories behind each car, from meticulously preserved originals to tastefully modified gems

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

During your fifth year, you are no longer under warranty. You can save some money by going to a trusted independent specialist

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

Manual-equipped cars have a higher gas guzzler tax than PDK equipped 911s

From the highs to the lows, we take an unbiased look at the general perception of the Porsche brand in 2024

Porsche ownership has become increasingly exclusive these days, catering more to elitists, rather than enthusiasts

Limited production runs and surging demand are driving up prices

Wait times for many Porsche models are lengthy, often spanning months or even years

Some dealerships are adding significant markups to Porsche vehicles, increasing the overall cost for buyers

Getting an allocation for a Porsche can be difficult, as dealers often have limited supply

Porsche's transition to electric vehicles raises concerns about whether they can maintain the visceral driving experience associated with the brand

Thankfully, the pro's outweigh the cons, and Porsche has a lot that's good going for it, ensuring a loyal-fan base

Porsche's core identity remains rooted in sports car performance and handling

Porsche offers a wide range of high-quality, solidly built vehicles to cater to various tastes and needs

Porsche SUVs like the Cayenne and Macan combine practicality with impressive driving dynamics

Porsche enthusiasts have a strong aftermarket and restoration culture, offering many customization options

Porsche doesn't impose strict restrictions on modifications or aftermarket parts

Porsche owners enjoy a vibrant and supportive community

There's a strong sense of camaraderie among Porsche enthusiasts, both nationally and globally

Porsche's future success depends on its ability to navigate challenges like exclusivity, production delays, and the transition to electric vehicles

The Macan GTS is the range-topping gas-powered Macan you can buy until 2026. It's priced at $89,000

The base Cayenne starts at $84,700, and is going to be one of the most popular Cayenne models

The Macan GTS looks spectacular on the outside, thanks to larger wheels, and sportier quad tailpipes and the contrasting black accents

The Macan GTS features an interior that's a bit old in the new-age Porsche world. The instrumentation is mostly analog and the 10.9-inch touychscreen isn't the fastest out there

The Cayenne looks a lot more up to the minute with the 2024 facelift

The Cayenne's interior packs all the bells and whistles, such as a fully digital console, along with a snappier infotainment display

Performance is where the Macan GTS walks over the base Cayenne. It is powered by a 424 hp 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6

The Cayenne gets a V6 as well, but it displaces 3.0 liters, sports a single turbo, and is less potent: 348 hp

The Macan GTS, like a Porsche 911, gets a 7-speed PDK gearbox, which translates to quicker gearshifts

The base Cayenne, like all Cayenne models, features an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, which is smoother, but isn't snappier than the PDK

With the Macan EV now officially on sale and starting to hit the U.S. dealerships, we max out the online configurator to see what's possible

We select the most expensive model in the Macan EV lineup, the Macan Electric Turbo which has a starting MSRP of $105,300

While the top-spec model is pretty feature-packed, you still have an extensive list of options available

We managed to add nearly $57,335 in options to the base price of the Macan Electric Turbo

Some of the priciest options include the Speed Yellow Paint-to-sample color at $13,140 and the 22" Aeroblades wheels at Carbon Fiber: $7,410

Inside, we've upgraded the tech with the high-end Burmester audio for $4,710

The Club Leather Interior in Truffle Brown will set you back 2,860

Swipe up to check out the entire list of optional extras that we've added to this Porsche Macan Electric build.

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

If you've ever wondered about some of the most engaging Porsche's of the past decade, we've got you covered

At 3,042 pounds, the 911 S/T is the lightest Porsche 992

It takes the GT3 Touring and infuses it with some of the GT3 RS goodies, including the engine and some of the aero

The close-ratio six-speed manual always keeps the rev-happy flat-six in the sweet spot

The number isn't chosen by accident, paying homage to the year the original 911 made its debut, 1963

The 992 S/T costs around $100,000 more than the GT3 Touring and is limited to 1963 units

The 992 Sport Classic is the second Porsche 911 to pay tribute to the Carrera 2.7 RS, after the 997 Sport Classic

The 992 Sport Classic will, likely, be the last 911 Turbo-based model, fitted with a manual

Unlike the 997 variant, which was based on the Carrera GTS, the 992 is based on the Turbo, sending power to the rear axle

Production of this nostalgic Porsche 992 was limtied to 1,250 units

With just 2,486 units produced, the Porsche 718 Spyder 4.0 is one of the rarer 718 models

At 3,130 pounds, the mid-engine Spyder 4.0 is lighter than most modern 911s

The Spyder 4.0 sits below the Spyder RS and GT4 RS, but has something the other do not - a manual transmission

Its 4.0-liter flat-six is not the same as the Porsche GT3's. It's based on the 3.0-liter Carrera engine

Porsche wanted to make a 911 that doesn't adhere to most modern reguations. The 911 R is a GT3 Touring, unleashed

The 991 R is the lightest modern Porsche 911 you can buy

The main highlights are the manual transmission, single-mass flywheel, and GT3 RS engine

The Porsche 911 R is the definition of hardcore. Just 991 units exist

The 981 Boxster Spyder is the lightest iteration of Porsche's mid-engine sports car, at under 2,900 pounds

Around 2,000 examples were built and they are all manual
