RS Orange 2008 911 Turbo Cabriolet

RS Orange 2008 911 Turbo Cabriolet

Published July 22, 2023 by Carter

911 Turbo prices have never been really low, but over the past year 996 and 997 Turbos have really been on the rise. It’s easy to understand why; they’re the do-it-all supercar of choice. They’ve got nearly 500 horsepower out of the box and enough safety measures for you to have fun without setting your hair on fire – and if it did, there’s a top-down version to cool the burns. Today’s car is a Tiptronic model, which seems to be the weapon of choice for the most effective use of the 911 Turbo’s power delivery. But the automation of gears isn’t the story here, obviously. This car is claimed to be one of five delivered in RS Orange (8C6), and for good measure it’s got sport seats, too, as well as the Sport Chrono Package, which gave the Turbo 10 seconds of overboost at 505 lb-ft or torque. Neat!

1993 Porsche 928 GTS 5-Speed RoW-Spec

1993 Porsche 928 GTS 5-Speed RoW-Spec

Published July 8, 2023 by Carter

It’s pretty amazing to consider that the Porsche 928 was intended to replace the 911 considering the lengths to which Porsche went to keep the 911 alive during the former’s production. The 928 was rolled out alongside the revised 911SC in 1978 and remained in production as the 911 became the Carrera, then the 964, and finally, the 993. Of course, the 928 wasn’t without changes – the S, S4, GT, and finally what we see here – the GTS – kept the model fresh and one of the most potent on the market. The styling was tweaked along the way, but the vision remained – a big V8 in front, a transaxle out back, and space-age looks in between.

Today’s car is a European version of the GTS, replete with a 5-speed manual gearbox. While it’s not the most exotic color combination in Slate Grey over black leather, the allure of the ultimate 928 is pretty strong – as is the asking price.

Transaxle Twofer: 1991 Porsche 944 Turbo Cabriolet and 1992 Porsche 968 Coupe

Published July 3, 2023 by Carter

Here’s an interesting comparison for you! While the 1989 944 Turbo was the last year for the model in the US as the normally aspirated S2 and later 968 took the reigns, in other parts of the world the forced-induction models carried on – and lost their top. That’s right, in Europe you could get a 944 Turbo Cabriolet! They’re quite rare to see – just 625 were produced only in the 1991 model year, and this number represents about 1/10th the amount of 944 S2 cabriolets. Today’s car is pretty slick and already has been imported – but it’s also not very cheap. So, for comparison’s sake, I thought it would be interesting to see the 968 Coupe that the same seller is also offering – also a rare car in its own right, since just 649 were imported for the year. Let’s start with the Turbo:

1979 Porsche 930 Turbo RUF BTR 3.4 5-Speed

1979 Porsche 930 Turbo RUF BTR 3.4 5-Speed

Published June 24, 2023 by Carter

In the world of Porsche tuners, RUF may be the name that is most hallowed. The company made its name long ago by taking cars with excellent performance and turning everything up – sometimes, way up. Their early work began with the 911, and here we have the model that began the madness: the RUF BTR. Using Porsche’s already prodigiously powered 930, RUF bored the engine to raise displacement to 3.4 liters and then raised the turbo pressure to increase output to 374 hp. But these were never intended to be cars simply producing more power. The braking and suspension setups were improved, aerodynamic aids fitted, and the interior outfitted to meet a customer’s specifications. All together you had a car instantly recognizable as a 911, but with enough visual cues to make clear it was not any old model. These were special.

Today’s car isn’t a full RUF BTR because it predates the RUF-specific VIN period; rather, this is a conversion that has most of the goodies you’d want in a BTR. For good measure, it’s a very rare color combination. Let’s check it out:

2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 with 462 Miles

2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 with 462 Miles

Published May 29, 2023 by Carter

For quite a few enthusiasts, the 997 is the perfect 911. The GT3 makes that better, and the GT3 RS makes that…betterer. But the icing on the cake? One of the 600 that were equipped with the 4.0-liter motor, which was good for 500 horsepower at 8,250 rpm. Just 141 of those came to the US market, so these are super duper sought and unbelievably valuable. If yesterday’s 964 RS Clubsport felt dear to you, best to put the coffee down. How crazy do they get? One with just under 1,000 miles sold for $706,000 in 2022 on Bring a Trailer. Today’s car is outwardly the same, but this one has – unbelievably – just half the miles. Number 562 of the 600 can now be yours…if you have the means.
