The Porsche will be available in three lines: Carrera S, GT3, and TurboS, with only 50 examples to be built.   These Porsches won't be bulletproof like their SUVs, and the base kit starts at $150k, requiring the buyer to supply the car.   The design is a modern take on the classic 935, and initial renderings look interesting.   Discussion Point: Despite not personally associating with the market for Rezvani's SUVs, the high starting price and exclusivity of the retro-style Porsche may attract buyers. Is this a cool concept or just a gimmick, and why?   Segment 2: Porsche's Performance at Long Beach   Porsche took 3rd place at Long Beach, securing another podium but not a win.   The nature of the track made it challenging to make overtakes, with Porsche holding 3rd and 4th positions for most of the race.   Discussion Point: Thoughts on Porsche's performance at Long Beach, considering the difficulty of making moves on the track and the team's ability to secure points.   Segment 3: Gunther Werks 1995 911 Carrera and the Second-Hand Market   Gunther Werks' 1995 911 Carrera, with only 2,289 miles, is for sale at $1.5 million, showcasing the high values of air-cooled Porsches in the second-hand market.   This pricing demonstrates the significant second-hand value of these cars, emphasizing the potential for original buyers to make good money.   The market for heavily modded/custom-built Porsches is growing, with numerous well-known and lesser-known builders entering the scene. Discussing the sustainability of this market and whether the younger generation will value these custom builds as the current market does.
