In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee Sibley and Andy Brookes sit down with Henry and Danny from Lakeside Classics for an unfiltered, deep-dive evaluation of the current Porsche landscape. Henry and Danny bring their front-line dealer expertise to the studio to unpack some incredibly nuanced—and potentially controversial—trends dictating values, buyer behavior, and vehicle availability right now.In this episode, we break down: Why It's a Seller's Market: Despite broader economic headwinds, high-quality Porsches are locked in a definitive seller's market. We explain why serious buyers are competing over a shortage of top-tier stock. Market Manipulation Exposed: Henry and Danny explain how and why certain sectors of the marketplace at large are facing artificial manipulation right now, and how savvy enthusiasts can spot it. The Flight to the Vintage: Why there is a massive, accelerating appreciation for older cars. Buyers are moving away from digital complexity and heavily investing in analog, visceral driving experiences. The Outliers: A close look at the highly unique, low-volume, and specific spec Porsches that are quietly bucking the curves and rapidly climbing in value.Whether you are looking to trade up, cash out, or just want the ultimate insider knowledge on the health of the UK Porsche industry, this is a masterclass in market literacy.9WERKS RADIO PARTNERS: Heritage Parts Centre: Proud sponsors of 9WERKS Radio.

This week, Alex and Beck grill Randy about his recent trip to Europe, which entailed among other treats watching a BaT alumni 993 GT2 ripping it up at Monza; ripping it up himself in a Falcon on the track, on the Autostrada, and all over Europe; experiencing general Falcon love across the pond; and wishing he'd brought a bigger suitcase.The trio talk about the recent increase in BaT inventory in the EU, including skinny Porsches and perhaps the ultimate E36 Touring; how to pronounce "959" (hint: it sounds much like "wow!"); comment melees of yore; a host of recent collections on BaT; the best GTO; aspiring to 20-car Fox-body ownership; 356 price drops and Shelby price creep; driving into the sunset on Route 66; a Nomad kind of blue; some stellar recent sales; the downside of our company's name; a semi-sheepish (and obvious to anyone who speaks with him routinely) admission from Randy; and extremely fast snail with an Audi wrapped around it.Follow along!

Should you stick or should you twist? In this week's episode, Lee and Andy dive into the mailbag to solve some pressing "car-nundrums" from our DNHC members. We explore the psychological and financial battle of deciding when to invest further into your current Porsche and when it's finally time to move it on for a new experience.Beyond the dilemmas, we turn our attention to the current trends within the 9WERKS Marketplace. We analyze the notable rising values of the Porsche 993, discussing whether the final air-cooled 911 has officially moved into a new bracket of collectibility. We also dive into the fascinating world of the air-cooled hot rod. What is the merit of a "properly built" bespoke 911 compared to a factory-original car, and why is the appetite for these personalized machines stronger than ever in 2026?In this episode, we discuss:Stick or Twist: Solving DNHC member dilemmas—is your Porsche a "forever car" or just the current chapter?993 Market Watch: Why the 993 is seeing a resurgence in value and what it means for buyers today.The Art of the Hot Rod: What defines a "properly built" air-cooled 911 and where the value lies in a modified classic.Marketplace Gems: A look at the standout cars currently listed on 9werks.co.uk.Driven Not Hidden: Why the best ownership experiences always start with a car that actually gets used.Find your dream Porsche on the 9WERKS Marketplace: 9werks.co.uk/marketplace Thanks to our friends heritagepartscentre.com for sponsoring this podcast, get up to 10% off your basket by entering the code ‘9WERKS10' at the checkout on heritagepartscentre.com‘9WERKS Radio' @9werks.radio is your dedicated Porsche and car podcast, taking you closer than ever to the world's finest sports cars and the culture and history behind them.The show is brought to you by 9werks.co.uk, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts.

Has Porsche lost the magic, or is the future faster and more focused than ever? This week, from an MOT station at VAS Works, Lee and Andy sit down to dissect a month of intensive driving across six of the most important models in the Porsche back catalogue and current lineup.We start with the "Holy Grail" of the 90s: the 964 Carrera RS. How does its seam-welded chassis and manual rack compare to the technological powerhouse that is the new 992.2 GTS T-Hybrid? We also dive deep into the GT3 lineage, revisiting the 996.2 GT3 — the car that many believe represents the peak of the water-cooled Mezger era.Then, we turn our attention to the mid-engine masters. With the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and the 718 GT4 both in the mix, we ask if the newer cars have finally eclipsed the legendary 987.2 Cayman R. Is the R's hydraulic steering still the benchmark for feel, or does the GT4's chassis precision win the day?In this episode, we discuss:The 964 RS vs. 992.2 GTS: A 35-year gap bridged. Does the T-Hybrid system deliver the same visceral thrill as a blueprinted air-cooled flat-six?GT3 Purity: Why the 996.2 GT3 is still the "sweet spot" for many purists in 2026.Mid-Engine Battle: 718 GT4 vs. Cayman R. We settle the debate on which mid-engine Porsche offers the most "Driven Not Hidden" rewards.The GTS 4.0 Factor: Why the 718 GTS 4.0 might actually be the best all-rounder Porsche has ever built.Future Values: Which of these six icons is the smartest place for your money right now?The 9WERKS Testing Lineup:Porsche 964 Carrera RS: The analog benchmark.Porsche 996.2 GT3: The Mezger-powered icon.Porsche 992.2 GTS: The T-Hybrid future.Porsche 718 GT4: Track-bred precision.Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0: The daily-driver hero.Porsche 987.2 Cayman R: The lightweight legend.Find your dream Porsche on the 9WERKS Marketplace: 9werks.co.uk/marketplace Thanks to our friends heritagepartscentre.com for sponsoring this podcast, get up to 10% off your basket by entering the code ‘9WERKS10' at the checkout on heritagepartscentre.com‘9WERKS Radio' @9werks.radio is your dedicated Porsche and car podcast, taking you closer than ever to the world's finest sports cars and the culture and history behind them.The show is brought to you by 9werks.co.uk, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts.

Is this the purest modern Porsche ever produced? In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, we are joined by a "quad-squad" of 987.2 Cayman R owners from the Driven Not Hidden Collective to find out why this stripped-out special has become the definitive modern classic of 2026.While the 981 and 718 GT4s might have more power and "mini-supercar" looks, the Cayman R is the final stand for hydraulic steering and a sub-1,300kg curb weight. Our four guests break down the reality of owning the "R" – from the iconic pull-strap doors and carbon bucket seats to the sublime balance that only 330hp in a mid-engine chassis can provide.In this Cayman R Owners Roundtable:Steering Perfection: Why the transition to electric steering in later models makes the 987.2 R feel "alive" in comparison.The Weight Debate: Does saving 55kg over a Cayman S really transform the car on a twisty UK B-road?Spec Warfare: Manual vs. PDK, and why the Carbon Buckets (P03) and Sports Exhaust (PSE) are the non-negotiable "must-haves" for 2026 buyers.Real-World Values: With Cayman R prices solidifying, is this the last "safe" place to put your money in the Porsche world?Living with the R: Four owners share their stories of track days, European tours, and why they haven't "traded up" to a GT4.The Cayman R "Holy Grail" ChecklistIf you're hunting for one of these in 2026, our owners agree these are the specs that define the experience:Transmission: 6-speed manual for the purists, though the 7-speed PDK is surprisingly sharp.Interior: Carbon fiber bucket seats are essential for both the feel and the future resale value.Air conditioning: Yes, it added weight, but it gets hot in there without it!Wheels: The ultra-lightweight 19" Spyder alloys are a must for that unsprung weight advantage.Find your dream Porsche on the 9WERKS Marketplace: 9werks.co.uk/marketplace Thanks to our friends heritagepartscentre.com for sponsoring this podcast, get up to 10% off your basket by entering the code ‘9WERKS10' at the checkout on heritagepartscentre.com‘9WERKS Radio' @9werks.radio is your dedicated Porsche and car podcast, taking you closer than ever to the world's finest sports cars and the culture and history behind them.The show is brought to you by 9werks.co.uk, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts.

Sportwagenikone Porsche 993 – Der letzte seiner Art Hardcore-Fans der Marke Porsche und hier insbesondere des Modells 911 bezeichnen sich als die Gusseisernen. Für sie endet die Geschichte der Sportwagenikone mit der Baureihe 993 – denn das war der letzte Porsche mit einem luftgekühlten Sechszylinder-Boxermotor im Heck. Danach wagte Porsche auch beim 911 den Schritt in die Moderne und verbaute Motoren mit Wasserkühlung. Und tatsächlich ist der 993 nicht nur der letzte luftgekühlte 911, sondern gilt auch als der ausgereifteste aller „echten“ 911er. Zwar teilt er sich viele Elemente mit seinem Vorgänger, der Baureihe 964, allerdings wurde er technisch in vielen Details entscheidend überarbeitet. So gilt der 993 als absolut verlässlich, alltagstauglich und im Gegensatz zu seinem Vorgänger auch wieder als gut reparier- und wartbar. Sein Design spaltet genauso die Gemüter. Die Form wurde geglättet, die Stoßfänger in die Linie integriert. Die Scheinwerfer, oft als „Torpedorohre“ bezeichnet, stehen nicht mehr ganz so senkrecht und auch das Leuchtband im Heck ist jetzt geneigt. Kritiker sehen in der Form einen rundgelutschten Bonbon, Fans bezeichnen das Design als das schönste 911er-Design der gesamten Modellgeschichte. Interessant ist, dass der 993 auch als Gebrauchtwagen nie eine preisliche Talsohle durchschritten hat, noch nicht mal als Standardmodell Carrera. Der Grund ist seine Robustheit und eben das er der letzte Luftgekühlte ist. Je mehr Leistung, desto teurer. Spitzenmodelle wie der GT2 erreichen da auch schon mal Sphären von mehreren 100.000 Euro. Während Ron einen leistungsstarken Allrad-993 bevorzugen würde und sich sogar für den GT2 gerade wegen seines gigantischen Spoilers erwährmen könnte, mag es Frederic dezenter. Ein schöner Carrera S würde ihm ausreichen. Während Frederic lieber fährt, möchte Ron mit der Porsche-Ikone auch ein bisschen „flexen“. Was das alles mit Seinfeld, Größenwahn und Aktienkäufen zu tun hat – das erfahrt ihr in diesem Podcast.
What is it really like to live with a V10-powered analog masterpiece for two decades? In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, we are joined by a man who needs little introduction to the Porsche community: Mark Sumpter, founder of Paragon Porsche and a veteran of the British GT Championship.While most Carrera GTs are treated as static financial instruments, tucked away in climate-controlled bubbles with delivery mileage, Mark's story is the antithesis of the "investment" mindset. He has owned his silver CGT for over 20 years, experiencing everything from the initial excitement of its 2004 launch to the long-term realities of maintaining a car with a Le Mans-derived heart.In this episode, we dive into:The Acquisition: How Mark secured his car and why he chose it over the 911 GT2s of the era.The Driving Experience: Mark describes the physical demands of the ceramic twin-plate clutch and why the 5.7L V10 remains the greatest engine ever put in a road car.Long-Term Maintenance: The reality of the "Major Service." We discuss the technical challenges of the carbon-fiber monocoque and what it takes to keep a Carrera GT in peak health after 20 years.The Market Evolution: Mark shares his perspective as a specialist dealer on how the CGT went from a "difficult sell" to a multi-million pound icon.Driven Not Hidden: Why Mark continues to take his car on European road trips and why he believes these cars "die" if they aren't driven.Technical Deep Dive: The CGT ComponentsOwning a Carrera GT is a commitment to precision engineering. During the interview, Mark touches on the specific components that define the ownership experience:The PCCC (Porsche Ceramic Composite Clutch): Why its reputation for being "difficult" is misunderstood, and how to drive it properly to ensure longevity.The Pushrod Suspension: How the racing-derived setup handles real-world B-roads.Service Requirements: From engine-out valve clearances to the specialized magnesium wheels.Find your dream Porsche on the 9WERKS Marketplace: 9werks.co.uk/marketplace Thanks to our friends heritagepartscentre.com for sponsoring this podcast, get up to 10% off your basket by entering the code ‘9WERKS10' at the checkout on heritagepartscentre.com‘9WERKS Radio' @9werks.radio is your dedicated Porsche and car podcast, taking you closer than ever to the world's finest sports cars and the culture and history behind them.The show is brought to you by 9werks.co.uk, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts.

Magnus Walker returns to the garage to discuss his massive upcoming no-reserve Porsche auction with RM Sotheby's.

Has Porsche design reached a turning point? In this special collaboration episode, 9WERKS Radio joins forces with James and Andy from the Curb & Canyon podcast to dissect the past, present, and high-stakes future of Porsche aesthetics. With the legendary Michael Mauer stepping down after two decades and former McLaren/Bentley designer Tobias Sühlmann taking the reins as the new Head of Style, we ask the big question: where does Porsche design go from here?The team dives deep into the "Highs and Lows" of the Mauer era—from the redemption of the Panamera and the futuristic Taycan to the challenges of keeping the 911 icon fresh across the 997, 991, and 992 generations. We also tackle the "elephant in the room": the controversial transition to an all-electric lineup and how Sühlmann's background in hypercars (like the McLaren Solus GT and Bentley Batur) will influence the next generation of Stuttgart's sports cars.In this 9WERKS x Curb & Canyon Special:The Changing of the Guard: What Tobias Sühlmann's appointment means for the future of the 911.Mauer's Legacy: Ranking the greatest (and most controversial) designs from 2004–2026.The SUV vs. Sports Car Debate: Can Porsche maintain its DNA as it prioritizes the Macan and Cayenne EV?Design "Highs & Lows": From the 918 Spyder masterpiece to the models that missed the mark.The "McLaren-isation" of Porsche: Discussing the influence of CEO Michael Leiters and the new design direction.Links & Community Follow Curb & Canyon: Search for "Curb & Canyon" on your favorite podcast app.Find your dream Porsche on the 9WERKS Marketplace: 9werks.co.uk/marketplace Thanks to our friends heritagepartscentre.com for sponsoring this podcast, get up to 10% off your basket by entering the code ‘9WERKS10' at the checkout on heritagepartscentre.com‘9WERKS Radio' @9werks.radio is your dedicated Porsche and car podcast, taking you closer than ever to the world's finest sports cars and the culture and history behind them.The show is brought to you by 9werks.co.uk, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts.

EV Cayman and Boxster Project on the Chopping Block Big news out of Stuttgart: Porsche has pulled the EV Cayman and Boxster from their configurator, and reports are surfacing that Porsche leadership held internal meetings to kill the project entirely. So is this a win or a loss? Our take: probably more win than loss. This was shaping up to be a failure to launch. The enthusiasm for an electric mid-engine Porsche was never really there from the core enthusiast base, and the market has been sending clear signals. Sometimes the best move is knowing when to walk away before you're too far in. The money lost hurts, but a forced launch that lands flat would've hurt the brand more. Magnus Walker Collection Heading to RM Sotheby's — No Reserve Magnus Walker is sending a significant portion of his collection to auction at RM Sotheby's, and the cars are listed with price estimates and—here's the key detail—no reserve. If you've spent any time in the auction world, you know how rare and how meaningful that is. It signals real commitment to sell. The cars we're watching most closely: the Minerva Blue 930 estimated at $175-200k, and the 996 GT2 at $125-150k—nearly 100k miles on it, but it's a GT2, and those don't come around often. Honorable mention to the 996 GT3 at $100-125k. Estimates feel fair across the board, but no reserve means the floor is the floor and the ceiling is whatever the room decides. Expect most of these to go higher, not lower. Fahren — Last Call, Spots Nearly Gone This is your final warning. Fahren spots are almost gone. If you're even remotely considering it, stop thinking and put your deposit in now to lock your spot. You can figure out the rest later. Don't be the person who waited too long and missed it. Head to pcartalk.com. Singer Drops a Wide Body Convertible Singer has built a wide body convertible, and this is a bigger deal than people may realize. Factory wide body drop tops were made in period—just not many of them. Singer's version brings all their engineering refinement along for the ride, including a 4.0L naturally aspirated motor making 420 horsepower. For the person who wanted a wide body convertible and has the means to make it happen, Singer just gave them the answer. The heritage is real, and the execution is Singer. Hard to argue with that. MotorTrend's Top 5 911s One Journalist Has Ever Driven MotorTrend published a list of the top 5 911s one of their journalists has ever driven: the first-gen 930 3.0 pre-intercooler Turbo, the 993, a 996 generation car, the 991.2, and the 992 GT3 RS. Opinion-based, sure, but it's a great conversation starter. The 930 pre-intercooler making the list says a lot—there's something about that raw, unfiltered experience that sticks with people. What do you think of this grouping? Is there a generation missing that deserves a spot? Let us know. Outro That's the show. Thanks for listening.

The 911 Turbo is 50 years old this year! We've come a long way since the days of having just four manual gears to row and enough turbo lag to sustain the birth, life, and death of a civilization. From the beginning of the 930 until now, the Turbo has always been the flagship of the 911 range - but has it been worthy of being at the top? === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === During this episode, Jason discusses his involvement with the latest 50 Years Of Turbo video, discussing some special cars he was able to drive like an early Euro 930 all the way up to the 50th Anniversary 992 Turbo S. Jason and Derek break down the Turbo lineage and where it comes from - first materializing on the Carrera nameplate on the 356, working its way into the nomenclature of the 911 range including the 1973 Carrera RS and Carrera 3.0, and eventually into the 1975 Turbo Carrera. After covering the various versions of 930 (including how the terms “930” and “Carrera” often have different meanings than most people realize) , they eventually work their way up the timeline to discuss the 964, 993, 996, 997, and 991 Turbo models. Jason and Derek discuss their favorite and least favorite models within the range - and their answers may surprise you. One thing is for sure - the character of the Turbo lends itself much more to a drive who simply wants capability and not pure necessarily driving enjoyment. Which begs the question - is it the “best” 911? Or has the popularity of recent GT3 and GT2 models changed the narrative? Find out more on this episode of The Carmudgeon Show.

What makes Porsche's GT cars so addictive? In this episode of Rennthusiast Radio, Derek and Will dive deep into the world of Porsche's most celebrated machines — the GT3, GT4, GT2, and Boxster Spyder — and uncover what truly sets them apart from the rest of the lineup.From the origins of the GT program and the legendary Mezger engine to the modern-day magic of the 4.0-liter flat-six, they explore why these cars have a cult following, how they balance raw performance with emotional appeal, and what it's actually like to live with one every day.Along the way, they compare GT4 vs. Boxster Spyder ownership, talk about whether the GTS is a “GT car” in spirit, and share personal stories from Will's multiple GT4s and Derek's time in some of Porsche's most sought-after models. Plus, Derek reveals his experience with a Deman Cayman build that pushes the GT formula to the extreme.If you've ever wondered whether a Porsche GT car is worth the hype, or which one fits your driving life best, this is your inside look at the cars everyone wants but few truly understand.Keywords: Porsche GT3, Porsche GT4, Porsche GT2, Porsche Boxster Spyder, Porsche GTS, Porsche GT cars, Porsche GT ownership, Porsche GT daily driver, Rennthusiast Radio, ElevenAfterNine, Porsche Cayman GT4 review, Porsche GT3 vs GT4 Hosted on Acast.
