The 992-generation 911 now starts at $140K, up $8K alone for 2026. This isn't inflation—it's Porsche testing how much devotion actually costs.

The 718 GT4 RS is finally getting recognition as the last naturally-aspirated 4.0L flat-six Porsche will make for the masses—a 493-hp machine that'll hold value precisely because it refuses to follow the turbo trend. Paired with a high-end lift, this is the kind of prize that actually matters to people who build.
