The Sports Car That Never Loses Its Value | Behind The HYPE: Porsche 911
Музыка
While cars are universally known to be horrible investments, 911s inexplicably maintain value and can even resell for double and triple of their retail costs over time.
So why own a 911? The explanation is in its instant appeal for petrolheads and collectors alike. The Porsche 911 has become “the” benchmark for all sports cars, but is also impossible for rival automakers to replicate, thanks to its half-century-old formula of being rear-engined. Its iconic performance and unique shape has ingrained it into pop culture, with countless appearances in movies like Bad Boys, Fast Five, Gone in 60 Seconds and Office Space.
Celebrities like LeBron James, Kanye West, Rihanna, David Beckham, Jay-Z and Beyonce have all taken orders of theirs, and comedian Jerry Seinfeld and former fashion designer Magnus Walker both have warehouses filled with their Porsche collections.

I first saw a Porsche 911 in 1989. That shape, line and sound was like a new drug to 12 yr old me. 33yrs later, I have finally saved up, to be able to afford to get a 911.992 Carrera S as a daily ride. 12 months wait to delivery isn't going to be an issue after 33 years of waiting, saving and admiring every 911 car I have seen for 3 decades.

I think what this video could emphasize even more is the insane performance that comes with each new model. Right now there are three Porsche 911's that did the Nurburgring in under 7 minutes, the GT2RS, GT3RS and the new GT3. I believe that aren't more than 15 production cars who beat the ring in under 7 minutes. Porsche's engineering is incredible. The new 911 turbo S is also a monster from a standstill, beating basically everything you put against it. All that performance in that classic design just makes a perfect picture. It's also very modest in looks in comparison to competition, like Ferrari's and Lamborghinis.
@the911collection

The production cars that lap the nurburgring in under 7 mins are the 992 gt3, 991.2 gt3 rs weissach package, the 991.2 gt2 rs, the 918 spyder, lamborghini aventador svj, huracan performante, and the mercedes amg gt black series (possibly also the senna but that has never been tested) in terms of non production cars, the manthey racing tuned gt2 rs is the fastest street legal car around the ring, and they hold two places in the top 3 overall records with the top three being, 1. Porsche 919 evo, 2. Porsche 962, 3. Volkswagen IDR

Anyone catch the mistake? Talking about 991.2 and all of them being Turbos. Yet showing video of a 911R. The 911R Is a 991.1 car based on the GT3 (narrow body) and is NA/non turbo. Engine based on the GT3RS from 991.1. Oh and it isn’t a “Carrera” variant either.😉

In the market for a car and can’t decide if I should go with 911, gt amg or corvette c8
The 911 Porsche and the NSX seem to hold up very well while some GT3 surpass the 300000 level. Supras too
Incredible modern performance vehicles no doubt but if people were honest, who has the skills on or off the track to use anywhere near the performance of a modern 911? I’m firmly of the belief that I’d rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow (a 1970’s 911S would be my Porsche of choice). Not sure what it is about many super car owners today but with Porsche it seems to be, “look at me, my car is better engineered and faster than yours” whereas with Ferrari it seems to be “look at me, I’m richer than you” - neither a good image to portray. Maybe it’s the people where I live, but all the Boxster drivers seem to smile as I pass them whereas the 911 drivers seem to be far more serious - maybe something in that slower/faster car saying.

In every rule there is an exception, Porsche.
For people unfamiliar with brand the most valuable and most expensive Porsches are not the 911. Its the mid engine 550 Spyder. They go for millions and were legendary at races before the 911 was even a concept that could be raced. In fact the very first ever Porsche built was a mid engine two seat roadster the 356A No. 1. The whole putting the engine in the back was a very late to the show idea for Porsche. And the Porsches that will be raced in the future will all be mid engine cars.
