Ruby Star 2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Weissach

Published December 17, 2023 by Carter

Want a way to show up every other Instagram or YouTube hero that bought a Porsche GT car and posted a video about it? It’s gotta be one of the paint-to-sample or wild colors offered by the company, then. And is there a more wild color than Ruby Star Neo? I’m sure there might be, but every single time it catches my eye. The searing looks match the equally outrageous performance on tap from the GT4 RS; the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six makes a peak 493 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, good enough to pull down 0-60 runs in 2.8 seconds. While the RS starts at 160k today, the total quickly adds up with options, including the paint (a bargain at only $3,500), the $15k forged magnesium wheels, the $13k Weissach Package…well, you get the point. On top of that, these special-order GTs tend to hit the market higher than their MSRPs. The result? This is no budget Cayman:

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:

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.

1993 Porsche 968 Club Sport

1993 Porsche 968 Club Sport

Published February 11, 2023 by Carter

While the final evolution of Porsche’s front-engine four-cylinder transaxle experiment wasn’t a resounding sales success, it was not for lack of trying. The standard 968 was certainly a competent and composed performance coupe; sure, it lacked the panache of the 300-horsepower Japanese imports of the time, but wasn’t that in part the point? It was an understated and well-built car that still looks nice today. And it wasn’t as if it also didn’t have some performance. Adding to that in 1992 was the launch of the lightweight Club Sport model. By eliminating some soundproofing material, the sunroof, and the air conditioning as well as fitting manually adjustable Recaro seats, Porsche stripped ~200lbs of weight out of the 968. The same 237-horsepower M44 was under the hood, but the “add lightness” formula worked and produced better performance. ’93 models were available in just five colors; black, white, Speed Yellow, Guards Red, and today’s striking shade of Maritime Blue (L38B). Only about 1,900 of these special 968s were produced, so they typically fetch a premium. How premium?
