They bought the world’s cheapest Porsche 911 - then saw what $850 actually gets you

An $850 purchase sends a team across state lines to collect what may be one of the cheapest 911 shells ever sold. At first glance, the car looks crushed, stripped, and far beyond any sensible repair, prompting blunt warnings from restoration experts. But as the inspection continues, a surprising mix of rare parts, salvageable structure, and ambitious ideas begins to shift the conversation. A visit to one of the most influential custom builders in the scene adds fresh momentum to a project that initially seemed impossible. By the end, the wreck is no longer just a bargain-bin curiosity - it is a test of how far passion can push a seemingly lost icon.

After 10 million EVs, Tesla faces a question that production alone can't answer

How much faster can a Porsche Turbo S get?

This tuned Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet shows how dramatically the 992 platform can improve with only a few carefully selected upgrades. Starting with the standard 650-horsepower twin-turbo flat-six, JD Engineering added 200-cell downpipes and revised ECU software to raise output to approximately 798 horsepower and more than 920 Nm of torque. On Germany’s unrestricted Autobahn, the car accelerates from 100 to 200 km/h in just 5.39 seconds and surges beyond 300 km/h with remarkable ease. Despite the substantial increase in performance, its all-wheel-drive system, active aerodynamics, carbon-ceramic brakes, and refined chassis allow it to remain stable, comfortable, and surprisingly easy to use every day.
