An Introduction

In this concluding article, we cross the 150k price barrier where the atmosphere becomes more rarified. Our upper limit of $250,000 reflects Porsche’s US pricing structure: in late 2024 the most expensive 911s are the Turbo S Cabrio at $243,000 and the GT3 RS at $241,000. Only limited editions such as the 992 S/T (a total of 1963 is scheduled) retail beyond our quarter of a million, but as has regrettably happened in the past, notably with the 997 RS four litre in 2010 and the 991 R in 2016, 992 S/Ts are reportedly already changing hands for near half a million dollars. To judge from the current asking prices for both the 997 RS 4.0 and the 991R, S/T offers are unlikely to fall much in the short or medium term.
