MEET THE NEW TRACK BOSS: 2019 GT3 RS

Scottsdale auction results
Back in early February details on the new GT3 RS leaked ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Then, last week, most likely in a response to that leak, Porsche released official details with figures that surpassed those that leaked.

We've been compiling some amazing Porsche models on eBay for nearly three years now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing cars pop up now and again.

Keep in mind, some of these Porsches could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.
 
 
PORSCHE'S TOP 5 MOTORSPORT MODELS WITH DEREK BELL 
​​​​​​​
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, DEREK DOESN'T AGREE WITH THE TOP CHOICE
Porsche's most recent Top 5 series on YouTube features their "most iconic motorspot models".  Who better to tell the history of Porsche competition cars than Derek Bell?  Amusingly, we can't decide what we like best, the Porsches featured in the video or Derek and the girls' period correct wardrobe changes. 

 
 
PORSCHE 911 VS. JEEP WRANGLER: SNOW AUTOCROSS SHOWDOWN 
​​​​​​​
Jeep vs. Porsche
Is there any higher form of cheap entertainment than an empty parking lot the morning after it snows? Not if you're Nick Murray and you're looking for content for your YouTube channel.  The funny thing is, the comparison works.  It's fun, it's off beat and it's surprising how closely matched the two are. 

 
 
THE BENTON-BUILT 'BAHAMMER' IS A DAILY DRIVER 912 THAT DELIVERS
​​​​​​​
Porsche pit stop
When Matt Farah first drove a 912 on his One Take show, he wasn't necessarily impressed.  This struck a number of 912 enthusiasts as odd and felt he just had not driven the right example, thinking a 'better' 912 would be more appreciated.  

 
 
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PORSCHE'S 991.2 GT3 
​​​​​​​
MATT FARAH SLANT NOSE 911
Porsche's GT3 is perhaps the most interesting car they make today. Not only is it a very driver-focused experience, it's available with a stick shift. Some folks are saying that the new 500 horsepower GT3 is basically a less expensive and less rare 911R, and while that's not expressly true, it may as well be. Is it a road car that is comfortable on the race track, or a track car that you can drive to work on a regular basis?

RIDE ONBOARD TODD TREFFERT'S 911 RSR AT SEBRING
​​​​​​​
Porsche to the ivy league
The Sebring circuit down in Florida is a favorite of mine. Not just because it hosts the famed 12 hour sports car endurance race every spring, but because it's an incredibly unique venue. This onboard video from Todd Treffert's Porsche 911 RSR is an incredible look at how tough this track is to master. 

 
 
NERVOUS, OVERSTEERING 993 CHASES 964 AT DIJON 
​​​​​​​
Porche 911 history video
Showdown911 is already a YouTube legend in his own right. Videos of him driving his 993 without a shred of fear have garnered him a respectable following. Between his driving skills and the respectable 993 track car he's built for himself it's a big surprise to see him outrun by a car that should otherwise be closely matched.
