In this Porsche Concept Car Special on 9WERKS Radio, Lee Sibley and Andy Brookes kick off with an immediate reaction and deep-dive verdict on Porsche’s newly revealed Mission S concept, before sitting down for a milestone feature interview with former Style Porsche designer Stephen Murkett.
With an extraordinary 43-year career inside the design studios at Weissach, Stephen provides a rare, first-hand account of automotive design history. He reveals the never-before-heard inside story behind the radical 1989 Porsche Panamericana concept—created as an 80th birthday gift for Ferry Porsche—the creative culture inside Style Porsche, and the next chapter of his journey: teaming up with Werk96 to pioneer the bespoke Porsche 996 restomod movement.
Who is Stephen Murkett?
Stephen Murkett is a celebrated British automotive designer who spent 43 years at Style Porsche in Weissach, Germany. During his tenure, he contributed to numerous production and concept sports car programs, most notably penning the exterior design of the avant-garde 1989 Porsche Panamericana concept.
What was the 1989 Porsche Panamericana concept car?
The Porsche Panamericana was a radical, off-road-inspired sports car concept unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). Based on a Porsche 964 Carrera 4 platform with carbon-fibre-reinforced bodywork, horizontal roof cutouts with a zippered fabric top, and exposed wheel arches, it was presented to Ferry Porsche for his 80th birthday and heavily influenced the exterior design language of the subsequent 993 generation 911.
What is the Werk96 Porsche 996 restomod project?
Werk96 is a specialist brand focused on re-engineering and elevating the Porsche 996 generation. By collaborating with former factory Porsche designers like Stephen Murkett, Werk96 applies OEM-level design refinement, elevated interior craftsmanship, and mechanical optimization to celebrate the analog purity of early water-cooled 911s.

James’s journey is the quintessential Porsche enthusiast success story: starting out at just 14 years old cleaning cars on Saturday mornings, he worked his way up through every facet of the business to eventually buy and own 911Box outright. In this wide-ranging discussion, James shares the grit and lessons behind taking over a premier specialist dealership, reveals his vision for the company's future, and delivers expert buying advice on where the smart money is in today’s Porsche market—including the legendary Porsche 996 Turbo and the mid-engine 718 Cayman and Boxster platforms.
What is 911Box?
911Box is an established independent Porsche specialist based in Keston, Kent (near South London and Bromley). Established in 1995, 911Box provides specialist Porsche vehicle sales, factory-level servicing, diagnostic health checks, and restoration support across classic and modern Porsche models.
Is the Porsche 996 Turbo still good value to buy?
Yes. Powered by the motorsport-derived Hans Mezger twin-turbo engine (free from IMS bearing issues found in naturally aspirated M96 models), the 996 Turbo delivers true 190+ mph supercar performance, robust reliability, and everyday usability at a price point well below comparable air-cooled or later 997 Turbo variants.
Are the Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster good sports car investments?
While not immediate speculative investments, the 718 generation (including four-cylinder turbo models and flat-six 4.0 variants) represents exceptional sports car value. They offer benchmark mid-engine chassis balance, contemporary cabin tech, and accessible real-world performance, making them some of the most usable and rewarding modern Porsches on the second-hand market.

In a rare public interview, Mark opens the doors to his Flat 6 Ranch at the historic Heuberg estate for a private tour of the Porsche family’s personal car collection. In an exclusive sit-down conversation which follows, Mark shares intimate stories about growing up alongside his father F.A. Porsche, the design philosophy behind the Porsche 911, the deep significance of Zell am See to the family legacy, and the purpose of Flat 6 Ranch.
Featured in This Episode
Mark Porsche is the youngest son of Ferdinand Alexander "F.A." Porsche (creator of the iconic Porsche 911) and grandson of company founder Ferdinand Porsche. He plays an active role in preserving the Porsche family heritage and spearheaded the creation of the Flat 6 Ranch at the Heuberg estate in Zell am See.
What is the Flat 6 Ranch in Zell am See?
The Flat 6 Ranch is a dedicated space housed within a converted historic barn at the Porsche family's Heuberg estate in Zell am See, Austria. Named as a nod to the 911's flat-six engine, it serves as a private sanctuary, exhibition space, and family archive celebrating F.A. Porsche's life, design work, and automotive collection.
Zell am See, Austria, is the ancestral home and emotional sanctuary for the Porsche family. Home to the Schüttgut and Heuberg estates as well as Studio F. A. Porsche, it is where family members spent their formative years and where the core philosophy of Porsche design and family heritage continues to be preserved.

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:
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.
