OUR FAVORITE PORSCHES ON EBAY: VOLUME 94
​​​​​​​
FUTURE BARN FINDS
We've been compiling some amazing Porsche models on eBay for over two years now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing cars pop up now and again. This week's mix should have a little something for everyone. Keep in mind, some of these Porsches could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

Wilson Collection Larry's Garage
There are many great car collections the world over. Some, like Jay Leno's, are more well known. Others, like the Ingram Collection, preferred to remain in the background until recently. Still others have never been heard of outside of a select group or region. 
 
 
 
THIS IS THE NEW WINGLESS GT3 THAT'S DEBUTING TODAY IN FRANKFURT
​​​​​​​
2019 Porsche 911 GT3
Last week Porsche let us know they would be debuting "an addition to the 911 models". There were lots of rumors that we would finally see the official debut of the GT2 RS. However, that didn't make sense as that car was already unveiled at both Goodwood and during a video game conference. Instead, what we got was a wingless GT3 with manual only transmission called the GT3 Touring.  



 
 
550 HP, 177 MPH TOP SPEED. THE 2019 CAYENNE TURBO

2019 Porsche Cayenne intro
When you read the performance specs for the just introduced 2019 Cayenne Turbo no one would blame you if you first thought of a new 911 vs. a mid-sized SUV. At least we wouldn't.  Zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. 550 Horsepower. 177 MPH Top Track Speed. And that's just the beginning.

Porsche Design Tower
When a Category 5 Hurricane threatens your inventory, and that inventory costs tens of millions, you take the necessary measures to protect it, like this Porsche dealership did. For those that don't have the same space as Porsche of West Broward the Porsche Design Tower offered some choice machines refuge from the storm that ravaged the Caribbean. 

 
 
PORSCHE FANS CREATE MODERN TRIBUTE TO 917 AND 908
​​​​​​​
917 908 TRIBUTE
There are unlikely stories, and then there is this. Five designers working for a Chinese car company, using company facilities in their off-hours, create a hypothetical Porsche racecar, one we've covered before. Drawing inspiration from both the 917 and 908, and incorporating modern Porsche design language, they create a graphical concept. They create a gorgeous concept. Midway through the project, they are approached by Porsche via email.

 
 
959, GT1, CARRERA GT, 918 AND OTHER HYPERCARS DRAG RACE IN STUNNING SURROUNDINGS
​​​​​​​
PORSCHE EV FAST CHARGER
When you've done well in life, doors open for you or you open them yourself. In this case, the owners of these gorgeous hypercars were given free reign to drive as quickly as they like across the landing strip at the Cambri Airport, just outside of Village Quinto. I've never seen a 959, GT1, 918 and Carrera GT all drag racing at the same time before.

When I first wrote this story, Hurricane Irma was a Category 3 storm and it was taking direct aim at Florida. Over the weekend, the storm's track changed and while damage was still tremendous, it appears as if Florida dodged what could have been an even bigger catastrophe. While people were busy preparing, one South Florida dealership took things to an extreme, bringing nearly their entire inventory into their showroom.
