60 years ago, Porsche fundamentally changed the sports car benchmark by affixing a single, iconic letter to the back of the 911: "S".
To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Porsche 911S (1966–2026), Lee and Andy embark on a comprehensive deep-dive into the history, engineering, and cultural impact of Porsche’s quintessential performance model. From its humble origins as a 160hp high-revving 2.0-litre screamer to today’s twin-turbocharged 992 Carrera S, we trace the complete timeline of the badge that defined everyday supercar usability.
Has the significance of the "S" badge diminished in an era dominated by GT3s, Turbos, and GTS models, or does the Carrera S remain the absolute sweet spot of the 911 lineup?
Special Guest Expert Panel:
- The Air-Cooled Era: Adrian Crawford from Williams Crawford Passion for Porsche joins us to break down the golden age of air-cooled 911S models—from the original F-Model 2.0S, 2.2S, and 2.4S through to the iconic Carrera 2.7S and 2.8 RSR heritage.
- The Water-Cooled Era: Jason from Porsche Centre Bournemouth steps in to guide us through the modern generation transition—evaluating the 996.2 Carrera S, 997.1/997.2, 991, and current 992 Carrera S to explain how Porsche dealership customers view the "S" badge today.
QUICK FAQ: 60 YEARS OF THE PORSCHE 911S
Q: When was the first Porsche 911S introduced? A: The Porsche 911S was first introduced in 1966 for the 1967 model year as the first high-performance derivative of the original 911, producing 160 hp from its 2.0-litre air-cooled flat-six engine.
Q: What does the "S" stand for in Porsche 911S? A: The "S" in Porsche 911S stands for "Sport." It designated upgraded engine performance, enhanced chassis components, vented disc brakes, and iconic Fuchs alloy wheels.
Q: What is the difference between a Porsche Carrera and Carrera S? A: Historically and in modern water-cooled generations (997, 991, 992), the Carrera S offers larger engine displacement/higher horsepower, upgraded brakes, wider track/wheels, standard PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), and sportier chassis tuning compared to the base Carrera.

How did a twin-turbocharged, 1,067hp air-cooled Porsche homage conquer the iconic Goodwood hillclimb? In this exclusive episode of 9WERKS Radio, we sit down with Peter Nam, CEO of Guntherwerks, to pull back the curtain on one of the most remarkable achievements in modern automotive engineering.
Fresh off their sensational victory at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the wild Guntherwerks F-26 clocked a staggering 50.41-second run to claim the overall fastest time for a road-legal car, Peter joins Lee and Andy to break down every second of that historic hillclimb pass.
From the engineering behind the 935 Slantnose-inspired carbon-fiber body and Rothsport-developed 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six to the high-stakes pressure of taking on the world’s elite supercars at Goodwood, Peter gives us the raw, unfiltered story from inside the pit garage.
But that’s not all. In this world-exclusive interview, Peter reveals what the future holds for Guntherwerks over the next 12 months, including:
- The Goodwood Debrief: How the 1,067hp F-26 dominated the 2026 Timed Shootout.
- Engineering the Impossible: Blending air-cooled Mezger heritage with modern active suspension and carbon technology.
- Exclusive Product Reveals: What new models are currently behind closed doors in Huntington Beach.
- UK Expansion & New Partner Announcement: Guntherwerks’ major new UK partner and plans for right-hand-drive customer deliveries.
Whether you're obsessed with high-end restomods, air-cooled performance, or the business behind boutique supercar manufacturing, this is a must-listen interview.

If you had to convince a bank manager to lend you the money for a depreciating sports car, what would your ultimate pitch be? Today, we’re putting our money where our mouth is.
In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, your hosts are joined by special guest panelist Saquib from the DNHC (Driven Not Hidden Collective) for a high-stakes, highly speculative game. We are scanning the virtual showroom of the 9WERKS Marketplace to answer the ultimate question: Which Porsches are actually going up in value right now?
The rules of the game are simple. One of us chooses a car currently listed on the marketplace and pitches it to the other two, who are acting as strict, risk-averse bank managers. To win the funding, the pitch has to be flawless. Is the car a guaranteed future classic, or is it a financial money pit? Would a bank actually release the funds in real life?
From overlooked water-cooled gems to air-cooled icons hitting a market sweet spot, we debate the numbers, the data, and the emotional triggers that drive Porsche values.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The Bank Manager Challenge: Pitching real cars from the 9WERKS Marketplace.
- Porsche Market Trends: What is driving values up (or down) right now?
- Future Classic Predictions: The specific models we think are set to climb.
- Investment vs. Enjoyment: Can you buy a Porsche to drive and make a profit?
Drop your investment picks in the comments—which car would you pitch to the bank?

The smell of high-octane fuel, the echoes of flat-sixes down the Mulsanne Straight, and the absolute pinnacle of historic motorsport. Welcome to our Le Mans Classic 2026 Special!
In this very special episode of 9WERKS Radio, we pack our bags and head across the Channel to the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe. We had the immense privilege of embedded access with the team at Paragon Porsche to follow a truly thrilling campaign: Mark Sumpter piloting his iconic, fire-breathing Porsche 993 GT2 Evo to a spectacular class victory. We take you behind the pit wall to experience the tension, the strategy, and the raw emotion of winning at Le Mans.
But the track action didn’t stop there. The 2026 event delivered an absolute sensory overload of motorsport royalty. We get up close and personal with the ultimate legends of endurance racing, tracking the sights and sounds of the homologation-special Porsche and McLaren GT1s, screaming 993 and 964 RSRs, and the legendary water-cooled 996 GT3 RS and Cup cars. Plus, we look back at the thunderous Group C era, the iconic 917s, and the modern-classic monsters of LMP1.

What happens when a hardcore petrolhead applies Porsche’s legendary engineering philosophy to watchmaking? You get timepieces that are built to survive just about anything.
In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, we sit down with Ian Elliot, the co-founder of Elliot Brown Watches, a man who lives by the mantra "driven, not hidden." Ian doesn't believe in keeping beautiful machinery locked away in a safe—whether it's his cars or his watches, they are built to be used, abused, and thoroughly enjoyed.
From strapping timepieces to the hull of a round-the-world race boat for a year to literally blowing them up to find their breaking point, Ian goes to extreme lengths to stress-test his products. The goal? To create the ultimate daily-driver watch: high-performing, resilient, and usable all the time.
In this episode, we dive into:
- The "Driven, Not Hidden" Ethos: Why the best machines belong out on the road (and on the wrist), not gathering dust.
- Extreme Mad Science: The wild stories behind exploding watches and surviving global ocean voyages.
- The Porsche Parallel: How Elliot Brown mirrors Porsche's iconic balance of daily usability and high-performance engineering.
- Ian’s Garage: The cars that fuel his passion and how automotive design influences his approach to watchmaking.
Grab a coffee, fire up the flat-six, and join us for a fascinating look at precision engineering, extreme durability, and a shared obsession with the drive.

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.

Thinking about taking the plunge into air-cooled Porsche ownership, or looking to keep your classic flat-six in pristine health?
In this special seminar edition of 9WERKS Radio, Lee Sibley and Andy Brookes host an absolute masterclass dedicated entirely to the legendary air-cooled era. To guide us through the minefield of buying, inspecting, and maintaining these icons, we are joined by a true industry titan: Adrian Crawford, founder of independent Porsche specialists Williams Crawford.
With over 35 years of hands-on experience dealing with everything from early 356s to the final air-cooled 993s, Adrian pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to own a classic Porsche. This isn't just a discussion about appreciation curves; it's a deep-dive technical seminar designed to arm you with expert knowledge and save you thousands in the workshop.
In this seminar, we break down:
The Inspection Checklist:
- The critical, hidden trouble-spots people miss when viewing a classic 911 (and what to never ignore).
Restoration Realities:
- When does a "minor project" cross the line into a full-scale financial nightmare?
The Market Alignment:
- Where is the smart money moving? Adrian shares his thoughts on current value sweet-spots.
Bespoke vs. Pure: The shifting trends between factory-original preservation and custom, backdated modifications.
Whether you're a seasoned air-cooled purist or a modern water-cooled driver dreaming of that analog ignition, this episode is your definitive playbook.

In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee Sibley is trackside with one of the most respected Porsche collectors on the planet: Johan Dirickx.
Johan’s collection is the stuff of legend, featuring a staggering array of RS and RSR Porsches, the rare SC RS, and the "Holy Grail" itself: an original 1967 Porsche 911R. We sit down to discuss the origins of Johan’s obsession, what specifically separates Porsche from every other marque, and the technical "soul" of the early R cars.
*Finally, we put Johan on the spot to settle the greatest debate in the air-cooled community: 964 vs 993. Which of these two icons truly represents the pinnacle of the air-cooled era?

Is the original Porsche actually the best? In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee Sibley and Andy Brookes embark on a total deep dive into the Porsche 356.
To truly understand the DNA of the brand, we get behind the wheel of both road and race-prepared 356s to see how 70-year-old engineering handles the pace of 2026. Is it a fragile relic, or the most rewarding analog experience money can buy?
In this episode, we explore:
- Track vs. Tarmac: Driving the lightweight race versions vs. the refined road icons.
- The Specialist's View: We sit down with Philip Raby to discuss the current 356 market, what to look for when buying, and why these cars are becoming the "smart money" alternative to early 911s.
- Living the Dream: A member of the Driven Not Hidden Collective gives us the unfiltered owner's perspective on maintenance, reliability, and the joy of long-distance 356 touring.
*Whether you're a seasoned 356 aficionado or a 911 purist looking for a new challenge, this is the definitive guide to Porsche’s first sports car.

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.

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.

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" Checklist
If 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.

*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 Components
Owning 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.

What does it take to design a legend? In this very special episode of 9WERKS Radio, we are joined by a true titan of Weissach and our 2026 Awards Guest of Honour: Grant Larson.
Having officially retired at the start of 2026 after 36 years at Porsche, Grant joins Lee and Andy to reflect on a career that saved the company and defined the dreams of generations. From the original 986 Boxster Concept that rescued Porsche in the 90s to the poster-child Carrera GT and the "return to form" 997, Grant shares the behind-the-scenes stories from the design studio.

In this episode, we discuss:
- 36 Years at Weissach: Grant Larson on his journey from the 989 to the 992 Sport Classic.

Is the "ultimate" 911 actually too much for the road? In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, we explore a move that most enthusiasts would find unthinkable. We are joined by His Geezership, Guy Feltham, who reveals why he decided to sell his stunning Porsche 911 (991.1) GT3 RS to get behind the wheel of a "lesser" 991.1 Carrera GTS.
Guy’s story isn’t just about the car; it’s a deep dive into the reality of RS ownership. Does the 4.0L track weapon lose its charm when you’re not on a circuit? Guy breaks down the ergonomics, the "Specialness vs. Usability" debate, and why the naturally aspirated 3.8L GTS might just be the most rewarding 911 he’s ever owned.
The Reality of Porsche GT Ownership: To go even deeper, the team from Garage Therapy joins the conversation. We tackle the hidden "downfalls" of owning a Porsche GT car—from the psychological stress of "mileage buckets" and stone chips to the high-stakes maintenance that comes with track-bred engineering.
Finding the 911 Sweet Spot: Finally, we sit down with Danny from Lakeside Classics to look at the market data. Danny explains why the 991.1 GTS has emerged as the definitive "sweet spot" in the 911 lineage, combining the last of the wide-body, naturally aspirated Carrera DNA with modern reliability and road-focused damping.
In this episode, we discuss:
- RS to GTS: Guy Feltham’s honest comparison between the 991.1 GT3 RS and GTS equivalent.
- The "GT Trap": Garage Therapy share personal realities of the merits and compromises of Porsche GT products.
- The Mezger-lite? Why the 991.1 GTS engine is becoming a modern classic.
- Lakeside Classics’ View: Why the 991 GTS is currently the most requested 911 in their showroom.
- "Driven Not Hidden": How to actually use a high-value Porsche without the fear of depreciation.

How do you turn a teenage passion for VWs into a global automotive empire?
In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee and Andy are joined by Barney Dines, the CEO of Heritage Parts Centre, as the company celebrates a monumental 40th anniversary. Barney shares the "Driven Not Hidden" origins of his career—from restoring his first VW Beetle at just 15 years old to leading one of the world's most respected Porsche and VW parts suppliers.
We dive deep into Barney's personal garage, including why he considers his Porsche 997 to be the finest car he’s ever owned and his ambitious future plans to resurrect a 550 Spyder and get it back on the road where it belongs.
But it’s not just about the stories; we get into the "nitty-gritty" of Porsche maintenance and modification. Barney settles the debate on OEM vs. Genuine vs. Patent (Aftermarket) parts, explaining when to save and when to spend to ensure your Porsche stays in peak condition.

- The Heritage Story: How a passion project became a 40-year business success.
- The 15-Year-Old’s Restoration: Barney’s first Beetle and the lessons it taught him.

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.

Is the future of the Porsche community in safe hands? In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee Sibley and Andy Brookes are joined by a selection of younger members from the Driven Not Hidden Collective (DNHC). We explore the passion behind the next generation of owners and how they are navigating the world of modern classic Porsche ownership.
From the affordable entry point of a Porsche 986 Boxster to the dream of owning an air-cooled 911, we discuss what draws a younger demographic to the brand in 2026. Whether it’s the heritage, the engineering, or the "Driven Not Hidden" lifestyle, these enthusiasts prove that the Porsche bug is more contagious than ever.
Inside This Episode: Porsche Passion & The DNHC
Buying Your First Porsche: Navigating the Modern Market
For many young Porsche owners, the path to ownership involves strategic buying. We dive into:
- Entry-level Porsche models: Why the 986 Boxster, 944, and 996 Carrera are the "sweet spots" for new enthusiasts.
- DIY Maintenance: How the next generation is using the internet to keep their cars on the road.
- The Daily Driver Reality: Can you really use a 20-year-old Porsche as your only car?
Heritage vs. Innovation: The Future of the Porsche Brand
We ask our guests what they value most: the analog feel of a manual gearbox or the cutting-edge performance of a Taycan or 992 GT3. We also look at the "Forever Car" — the ultimate dream Porsche they hope to one day have in their garage.
Why the Driven Not Hidden Collective (DNHC) Matters
Community is the backbone of the Porsche world. We discuss why the 9WERKS DNHC is the perfect home for enthusiasts who believe cars are meant to be driven, regardless of age, model, or mileage.

From the “fussy” cleaning brush included in the sale to the nerve-wracking moment the hammer fell, Max reveals the reality of buying a celebrity-owned 911, the “purist” spec that tempted him, and why this particular Carrera White 997.2 might just be the perfect daily-driver 911.

Is there really an "off-season" for Porsche owners? We don’t think so.
In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee and Andy are joined by a powerhouse panel from the Driven Not Hidden Collective (DNHC) —Ben, Paul, Saquib, and Mark — to recount their recent winter adventure. We dive into the grit, the salt, and the pure joy of tackling a winter road trip when most Porsches are tucked away under covers.
We also bring you the highlights from our first event of 2026: 9WERKS at the Warehouse. Despite freezing temperatures, the DNHC descended on Heritage Parts Centre for a morning of coffee, Porsche chat, and indoor Wiggle Car racing.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The Winter Road Trip: Why an "off-season" tour offers a unique (and quieter) driving experience.
- Winter Prep: How the panel readies their air-cooled and water-cooled 911s for the cold.
- Heritage HQ Highlights: A look back at our first major DNHC gathering of the year.
- Porsche Factory Trivia: We reveal exactly how many Porsche 911s are produced at Zuffenhausen in a single day (Hint: It’s more than you think!).
Whether you’re planning your own winter escape or just want to hear about the reality of year-round 911 ownership, this episode is for you.

Alwin Springer is a true living legend in Porsche circles. Springer has been called “The O.G.” and “Mr Motorsport” by Porsche executives and historians thanks to a 60-year career of high success with both road and racing Porsches all over the US. Alwin’s incredible, decades-long Porsche story starts in the late 1960s, working on Porsches in Toronto, Canada, before learning the race trade at Vasek Polak in California. From here, Springer helped form the world-famous Andial with two friends, before leading Porsche Motorsport North America and rebuilding it front the ground up.
This is a fascinating episode covering nearly 60 years of Alwin’s life-long success racing Porsche cars, and improving road-going variants.

The boys debrief from the glory of a road trip to attend a double header of Porsche events – their first of the year – where a game was concocted to decide the best and worst of what they saw. Andy has revealed a striking new look to his 993, and there’s special praise for the Lamborghini Urus and people called Nigel.
Warning: this admittedly hilarious episode (we enjoyed it anyway!) is slightly more blue than usual, so listener discretion is advised.

*The boys kick off series 3 with an exclusive in-depth chat with both Singer Vehicle Design’s founder and CEO to chat about the company’s outrageous ACS, a competition-spec safari reimagining of the Porsche 911.
Speaking to Road to Redline on the day the ACS was released to the world, Rob and Maz give us the inside track on how Singer has grown since 2009, plus development secrets of the ACS and DLS – with interesting discussion on what’s next for the company...
Rob and Maz also get to answer the infamous 'Road to Redline' ten questions, with some unpredictable answers.www.singervehicledesign.com@singervehicledesign Information on the ACS...
At the request of a long-term client, Singer has looked to a golden era of Porsche rallying in the 1980s, and to automotive heroes including the 911 SC/RS and 959, to reimagine his air-cooled 911s as World Rally Championship-inspired, all-terrain competition machines.*
Singer’s latest services will enable their clients to go off-road racing, with a Porsche 911 modified by Singer for all-terrain use.
The All-terrain Competition Study has been undertaken by Singer, in partnership with renowned 911 rally specialist Richard Tuthill, in response to the request from their client for modifications to his air-cooled Porsche 911 that would enable the car to compete in off-road racing and to demonstrate extensive all-terrain exploration capabilities. To highlight the broad repertoire of the ACS, the client has commissioned two machines, one – in Singer’s iconic Parallax White – focused on high-speed desert rallying and a second – in Corsica Red – configured for high-speed, high-grip tarmac events and disciplines.
*Porsche 911s prepared by UK-based off-road competition specialist Richard Tuthill have dominated rally events for decades, with recent victory in the 2019 East African Safari Classic marking a remarkable 4th win in the gruelling 5000km event across Kenya and Tanzania. These successes sit alongside deep expertise from the world of WRC competition and events such as the Paris-Dakar.
