This week we're taking a look at Porsche's history of entry level sports cars. Hopefully you've enjoyed our curated look at the Porsche market. Keep in mind, some of these Porsches could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.
 
 
TUNED 996 CS MIXES IT UP WITH MODERN GT3S

PORSCHE 996 GT3
It's hard to fathom that what, for a long-time, was once considered the "redheaded stepchild" of the 911 family can, if driven well, casually dice with the latest and greatest thoroughbreds in the Porsche stable.

THIS 930 SLANT NOSE IS PURE '80S NOSTALGIA 
​​​​​​​
MATT FARAH SLANT NOSE 911
There is no Porsche more anachronistic than the slant-nose 911 Turbo. It could not have existed were it not for the flash, exuberance, and absolute wealth of the 1980s, and looks out of place in any other era (look to the 964 Flachbau and you'll know this to be true).

I find myself growing fonder of the 996 platform with every week, and the discovery of this 996 CSR Retro has convinced me that, despite its age, the 996 has all the performance I could ever want.

THE LONDON JOB: PANAMERAS TRANSPORT $14+ MILLION IN GOLD BARS ACROSS LONDON

PANAMERA GOLD
If you have 84 gold bars worth more than $14MM to move across London, how do you do it? Conventional wisdom indicates that a large, heavily armored truck is the way to go. 

 
 
THAT BRAKE SQUEAL YOU HEAR ON YOUR PORSCHE. IT'S A FEATURE, NOT A BUG! 
​​​​​​​
PORSCHE BRAKE SQUEL EXPLAINED
There are few sounds in automotivedom less pleasant than brake squeal. While increasing brake temperatures will typically alleviate squeal, keeping your Porsche's brakes at racetrack temperatures around town isn't practical. It's important to consider what is causing your Porsche's brakes to squeal, and determine whether the noise is caused by wear, or the high performance nature of your braking system. In most cases this squeal is not caused by a mechanical fault. The noise is caused instead by the construction and composition of the brakes themselves.

 
 
3D MAPPING A 919 HYBRID ON TO A PANAMERA TURBO S E-HYBRID

3d mapping to panamera
While Porsches are regularly used as camera cars, this is the first time a Porsche has simultaneously filmed itself and used 3D Mapping to project images on its bodywork. The ad is designed to demonstrate that Porsche's racecar hybrid technology is directly related to their road cars. While showing the connection between the successful 919 Hybrid racecar and Porsche's third most powerful production car ever is novel,

 
 
NO SURPRISE THAT THIS $60K SIMULATOR MAKES FOR AN EXCELLENT TRAINING RIDE

Patrick Long Virtual Lap
Patrick Long, the man Matt Farah dubbed "The World's Fastest Ginger," raced the 24 Hours of Daytona in Wright Motorsports' 911 GT3 R. In the real race, Long was joined by Christina Nielsen, Robert Jenauer and Porsche Junior driver Mathieu Jaminet. Here, he is alone in an advanced simulator fro CXC Simulations. We expected the Wright Motorsports car to give a strong performance at Daytona and these virtual laps of the track in CXC Simulations' simulator gave us some insight into how that should have happened. Long's deep understanding of the track helps to deconstruct just how to get the most out of a lap.
