As the automotive industry shifts towards electrification, Porsche enthusiasts are witnessing a changing landscape in the iconic 911 lineup. With the imminent discontinuation of the ICE 718 and the electrification of the new 911 range, it's the time for Porsche's ICE vehicles to shine as they become more sought after for collectors and enthusiasts alike. One model that stands at the very top of this rarity and exclusivity table is the 911 S/T.

The 911 S/T: A Certified Gold Mine for Collectors of the Most Sought After 992 Porsche 911

The Porsche 911 has long attracted criticism and controversy. When its Stuttgart-based maker first showed the model back at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, two things happened. First, Peugeot threatened to sue the company for calling its rear-engine, flat-six coupe the 901, hence the name being changed to 911. Second, media condemnation of the machine that would replace the beloved 356 was both swift and biting: Bigger, heavier, and a back seat? Porsche’s lost the plot! Later came the brand-destroying 928 that was meant to replace the 911, the horrible switch from air to water cooling with the 996-gen 911, rear-wheel steering with the 991, and then the 991.2 adopting turbocharging was the worst thing that’s ever happened. Until now. The 992.2 iteration of the 911 has a hybrid powertrain complete with a lithium-ion battery. Worst 911 ever? Not even kind of.

If you were hoping to get what is arguably the finest sports car on the planet, you're out of luck. While browsing the Porsche USA site this week (as one does when one can), we noticed that the 911 GT3 no longer appears. The production facility in Zuffenhausen where the GT3 is produced has a very limited manufacturing capacity, and although Porsche tries to get as many out of the door as possible, demand far exceeds supply, and not just for the GT3; other high-performance Porsches must also be made.

Porsche production manager Albrecht Reimold tells Automobilewoche that the 718 lineup, comprised of the Boxster and Cayman, will end production in 2025. Porsche has already been forced to retire the 718 twins in Europe due to more stringent cybersecurity regulations (and the Macan along with it). More stringent emissions requirements across the pond would have done the pair in at some point as it is. The 718’s electric replacement is underway, and while Reimold didn’t share further details on the upcoming models, it’s hard to imagine Porsche will leave much of a gap between the end of 718 production and the next model’s introduction.

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:
