They're interested in air-cooled Porsches.

Lately my husband has beenI'm curious about the air-cooled Porsche."I'm just saying. He used to drive only a 981 Boxster GTS, but this year, when he bought a Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R129), a famous car released in 1997, he realized how good his old car was.... Is my husband finally stepping into the "air-cooled" realm?

However, the number of air-cooled Porsches on the used car market is very small. My husband often sees air-cooled Porsche drivers in the Ashiu driveway.I inherited an air-cooled Porsche from an acquaintance or from a senior who passed away...Many of them are getting it from routes that are not available on the market.

Classic Project Gold

In the midst of all this.Porsche's top-secret old car project, "Classic Project Gold," in its entirety.was recently revealed. what is known as "Classic Project Gold."

This is a project to reassemble the "993" Porsche 911, popularly known as the "last air-cooled Porsche," using new parts.

While 20 years have passed since production ended, the 3.6-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder gasoline twin-turbo engine was newly produced and over 6500 new parts were used to build it. The transmission is, of course, manual transmission, using genuine Porsche Classic parts.

It shows the seriousness of Porsche.

Type 993 Porsche 911

I did a little research on the 993 Porsche 911.Wearing a Porsche(There was a time when it was called so because of its small seat design, tight interior space, and compact body that could be moved as desired.)The last model that retains the tightness that was described asIt was written.

Compared to its predecessor, however, it was quieter due to improved ventilation, and the new type suspension improved ride quality and comfort. The 993 911 Turbo was also the first mass-produced 911 to be equipped with a turbo and 4WD.

Also, since it is the "last air-cooled model," it is very popular among enthusiasts and maintains a high price in the used car market.

Used car site for "993" Porsche "911" Turbo.(I looked at Goo to try it out)The search on "ASK" yielded only four hits. Moreover, three of the four units were "ASKs" and(Mileage is all in the 10,000 km range)The remaining one was 14 million yen.(Mileage 88,000 km)

That's amazing. Used ones cost that much. It's not surprising that they cost that much since they are no longer in production. I did some research on why the price of air-cooled Porsche has skyrocketed so high, and found out that the situation is as follows.

・Currently on an elevated trend.
Quite a few air-cooled 911s are leaking overseas.
In overseas demand, the degree of originality and completeness of a new car tends to be particularly important.
The price is stable at high level for the units with no accidents, 1 or 2 owners, complete maintenance records, and good interior and exterior condition.
MT vehicles, RS, turbo, and limited edition vehicles are also stable at high prices.
...I don't expect the market to return to what it was a few years ago.

For this charity auction

When I asked my husband about the "993" Porsche "911" presented at the "Classic Project Gold" this time, he said, "You'd love this 911, wouldn't you?" I asked him.

No, that's fine, but only one of these will be produced.

And....

Oh, my God! Oh, yeah! (oo...;

I didn't read the article all the way through, but it did say this.

Porsche plans to produce only one of these 993 911 Turbo models for a charity auction. The 993 Porsche 911, which is very popular in the used market, is expected to fetch a high price if it is available as a new car.

So, Porsche had created this car for a charity auction.... My husband continued, "Well, it's OK, but even if it were mass-produced, I'm not so sure about this gold color...". It's true...I would like it if it were dark green or engine color, but gold is embarrassing.

So, check out future air-cooled Porsches.
