Over recent months, certain generations and variants of the 911 have seen values rise, with one of the common themes being those from the later stages of the air-cooled era, blending updated designs and modern-era comforts like air conditioning with the classic Porsche driving experience. We’ve highlighted five models below that are seeing particularly strong bidding and high sale rates.
** Porsche 930 Turbo **
The original ‘Widowmaker’ continues to be a sought-after air-cooled classic. The most desirable variants are those from the first year of production, as well as the 1989 model-year cars equipped with the G50 gearbox, but ultimately all 930 Turbos carry poster-car icon status.
** Porsche 964 Turbo 3.3 **
As the bridge between the classic 930 silhouette and modern chassis dynamics, the 964 Turbo 3.3 is enjoying a major renaissance. Its muscular stance, relative rarity, and raw single-turbo power delivery make it highly prized.
** Porsche 993 Turbo **
Representing the technological pinnacle of air-cooled, forced-induction models, the twin-turbocharged 993 is a permanent fixture on collector wishlists, but the average price has risen significantly over the last six months. Its blend of sub-five-second 0–60 mph pace and analogue feel means virtually every example is securely in the six-figure club.
** Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS **
Water-cooled and widely heralded as one of the greatest drivers’ cars ever built, the 997.2-generation RS models are hotly pursued. Featuring the legendary, motorsport-derived Mezger engine and a crisp six-speed manual transmission, this generation is viewed by many as the ultimate sweet spot of raw mechanical feedback and modern capability.
** Porsche 993 Carrera (Manual) **
The standard 993 Carrera with a manual gearbox has become a sought-after model for air-cooled purists who don’t want to spend six figures on turbocharged or Rennsport models. Its timeless aesthetics and daily usability mean clean ‘no stories’ cars rarely linger when presented properly.
