Porsche will only build 25 of these Rennsport Reunion Edition 911s

Every few years or so, Porsche gathers as many new and old race cars as it can in one place for its Rennsport Reunion. The fifth iteration of this motorsports bash took place recently at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. It’s the kind of thing that leaves one wanting a souvenir to remember it by like, say, a special-edition 911.

The Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Rennsport Reunion Edition, however, is no cheap postcard. Reserved exclusively for North America and limited to just 25 units, it’s probably about as rare as some of the race cars that inspired it.

Built by the Porsche Exclusive division, which handles customization work, the Rennsport Reunion Edition is based on the 911 Carrera GTS. That means it packs a 3.8-liter flat-six with 430 horsepower and 324 pound-feet of torque, and some additional performance upgrades like lower suspension, sport exhaust, and the Sport Chrono package.

While the standard Carrera GTS is available with both seven-speed dual-clutch PDK and manual transmissions, the Rennsport Reunion Edition is offered only with the manual. That allows it to do 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, and reach a top speed of 190 mph.

Features unique to the Rennsport Reunion Edition are mostly cosmetic, such as the graphics on the hood, sides, and decklid, and the “Fashion Grey” paint. Those elements are matched by retro-looking 20-inch “Sport Classic” wheels and other exterior bits finished in high-gloss black.

The interior features carbon-fiber dashboard trim and the same upgrades that come with the standard Carrera GTS, including a special steering wheel, interior trim, and floor mats. The GTS logo is also stitched onto the headrests in “Carmine Red,” and the seatbelts and tachometer face are done up in the same color. Buyers also get a key fob painted the same Fashion Grey color as the car, in a Carmine Red pouch.

Besides the model-specific trim, the Rennsport Reunion Edition is also fairly well equipped, boasting 18-way power front seats, a Bose audio system, and rear park assist. Then again, you’d expect that (and probably more) for the car’s starting price of $149,330 (including destination).

Installing a car phone mount in your vehicle is the best way to make sure that you have easy access to your smartphone when behind the wheel. While you shouldn't be using your phone while driving, having it mounted on your windshield, dashboard, vent, or anywhere else will let you take a quick glance when you're using a navigation app, or to change your playlist when you stop for a traffic light, for example. Instead of having to pick up your device, it will be easier and faster to get these done while it's on a car phone mount for less time of having your eyes off the road.

Should you buy a used EV? Maybe, but it’s complicated

Electric cars are slowly but surely getting cheaper. Over the past year or so, Ford and Tesla have been discounting their most popular electric cars while other brands, like Rivian, are laying the groundwork for all-new cheaper models.

But you'd still be hard-pressed to call electric cars cheap, and buying a completely new car in the first place is a hurdle in and of itself for many potential buyers. According to Statista, used car sales represented around 74% of all car sales in 2022, and while this figure is likely to change as electric cars get cheaper, the fact remains that most car buyers would prefer to save cash and buy used rather than buy something new.
Buying a new car ain't what it used to be
Buying a car with an electric powertrain doesn't necessarily need to be all that different from buying an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. But there's a little more to it than that.
