    Magnus Walker Sells, Porsche Exits China & The Shifting Market

    Magnus Walker Selling Off Cars, Art & Memorabilia Big news out of the collector world: Magnus Walker is consigning a significant portion of his collection to RM Sotheby's for a March 2026 auction. We're talking 160 items total—cars, art, memorabilia. No official word yet on which cars are going, but given the timing, this is likely tied to the Amelia auction. The question is: why? Is Magnus losing interest? Chasing something new? Just cashing in while values are high? We've seen this pattern before—Vinny recently sold his GT3 RS. So what's going on? Our take: we don't think the sky is falling. Prices on collectible Porsches are strong right now, and smart owners are capitalizing. We're not seeing any signals that demand is softening—if anything, more people are moving money into special cars. The hobby is growing, not shrinking. These guys aren't getting out because they know something we don't. They're getting out because the market is paying. Fahren 2025: October 13–16 at Tapoco Lodge Let's talk Fahren. October 13th through the 16th at Tapoco Lodge in the Smoky Mountains. If you haven't been, this is the one. The roads, the people, the format—it's everything we love about driving Porsches without any of the nonsense. Who goes? Enthusiasts who actually drive their cars. People who care more about the road than the parking lot. The kind of folks who become friends, not just acquaintances. Who should go? If you've been on the fence, this is your sign. If you want a premium driving experience with a tight-knit group, no egos, and some of the best roads in the country, Fahren is it. Why should you go? Because you'll leave with stories, not just photos. Head to pcartalk.com and get on the waiting list for 2026 if this year is full. Porsche Closing 30% of Dealer Network in China Porsche is set to close roughly 30% of its dealer network in China. Not shocking given the revenue losses they've reported quarter after quarter in that market. The EV competition there is fierce, consumer preferences are shifting, and Porsche's positioning hasn't translated the same way it does in the West. Markets change. Porsche is adapting. This isn't a sign of weakness globally—it's a smart move to stop the bleeding in a region where the math isn't working. We'll see how this plays out, but expect more consolidation before things stabilize. Modern Classics Selling Big at Barrett-Jackson and Mecum Something interesting is happening at the mainstream auctions. Cars like Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradales and Porsche 993 Turbo S models—cars that historically would sit with reserves not met at Barrett-Jackson or Mecum—are now selling. And selling strong. What's changed? A few theories: Are buyers shifting? Are fewer Boomers showing up and more Gen X and Millennials stepping in with different tastes? These younger buyers grew up with these cars as posters on their walls, not as "used sports cars." Or have the Boomers themselves shifted what they're chasing? Maybe they've already bought the '60s muscle and the air-cooled 911s and now they're looking at the cars they drove in their 40s and 50s. Either way, the platforms are adapting. Barrett-Jackson and Mecum are no longer just about Corvettes and Camaros. The definition of "collectible" is expanding, and the auction houses are following the money. What do you think? Are we seeing a generational handoff in the hobby, or just an expansion of what collectors care about? Let us know. Outro That's the show. Thanks for listening.

    The GT3 RS Turbo Question No One Wants to Ask

    Rolex 24 Victory Lap The Porsche Penske #7 car takes the Rolex 24 for the third consecutive year—a feat only a handful of teams have ever accomplished. The guys break down their favorite moments from the weekend, which drew the largest crowd in event history. Can they make it four in a row? Fahren 2025 Announced Mark your calendars: Fahren returns October 13–16 at Tapoco. The event is back to two days of driving, bringing together old friends and new for what's become a cornerstone of the Porsche enthusiast community. Is the GT3 RS Going Turbo? Rumors are swirling that the .2 GT3 RS could ditch naturally aspirated power for turbos. The hosts dig into what this means for the future of the GT3 lineup—could this be the beginning of the end for NA Porsches in the GT family? And if the RS goes forced induction, how does that impact values on existing NA GT3s and RS models? A deep dive into the speculation and what it could mean for collectors.

    We Need to Talk About Porsche Pricing...

    In this episode of P-car Talk, hosts Mike Geisert and Aaron Johnson kick off with what's happening in the Porsche world this month. DRT Miami is coming up—if you're looking to escape the cold and see some incredible cars, this is your move. The following weekend brings the Rolex 24 at Daytona, including the historic 30-minute race on Saturday before the main event. What a way to start the year. The hosts dig into the elephant in the showroom: Porsche 911 pricing has climbed $40,000 in just five years. What's the strategy here? Base 911s now start around $140k, but buyers at that price point don't want a base model—so does this actually hurt overall sales? The only clear winner seems to be the used market, where older 911s suddenly look like bargains. Mike and Aaron discuss whether Porsche fatigue is real and what this means for enthusiasts versus casual high-end car buyers. Finally, the conversation shifts to depreciation kings—specifically the 2021 Taycan 4S. These stickered between $103k and $135k new and can now be found in the low $40s. Is this a steal for a commuter car if the battery checks out? The hosts weigh in. Thank you for your support! Kimchi Crew: Leslie, Chris, Ken, Aaron, Matthew, Sean, and Nik

    Combustion, Turbo Mezger's and $50k Only Car

    In this episode of P-car Talk, hosts Mike Geisert and Aaron Johnson break down the latest news from Stuttgart—Porsche is keeping combustion alive alongside the upcoming EV 718. What does this mean for the future of the GT4 and a potential RS variant? The hosts dig into the implications for enthusiasts who've been holding their breath. The conversation shifts to the market, where 996 and 997 Turbos are quietly climbing in value. Mike and Aaron share their picks for the best Porsche investments under $50,000—which models still make sense and which ones are already out of reach. The episode wraps with a breakdown of the P-car Club and what members get access to: exclusive giveaways, events, and more ways to stay connected with the community. Thank you for your support!

    Are you down with OODA? | Elliot Weil

    In this episode, Elliot Weil, founder of OODA Motorsports, joins us to talk about his Porsche journey and how real-world track failures led to engineering breakthroughs. Elliot shares his ownership experience with a 997.2 RS, including a catastrophic engine failure that didn't just stop him—it pushed him to innovate. Rather than accepting the limits of stock components, he developed new high-performance parts using better materials to enhance reliability for serious track work and high-performance applications. We dive deep into Elliot's approach to building the perfect Porsche, including the personal decision to change his dream car's color and the philosophy behind getting every detail right. The conversation covers the unique appeal of air-cooled ownership, navigating today's vintage Porsche market, and comparing the driving dynamics across different 911 generations. What draws enthusiasts to specific models? What makes one generation feel different from another? Elliot shares his future modification plans and what keeps the passion alive for these cars.

    1193 HP, 300 Million and 3RS Touring

    In this episode, we're giving thanks to our people and diving into some major Porsche news that's shaking up the community. We kick things off with the all-new electric Cayenne—dropping November 20th with numbers that'll make your jaw drop. The top-tier Turbo model pumps out 1,193 hp with nearly the same torque figure, launching 0-60 in 2.3 seconds and crushing the quarter mile in 9 seconds. Starting at $160k, it features active aero in the front bumper, a rear roof spoiler that doubles as an air brake, active rear bumper fins, and Porsche's first curved center screen. Is this the EV that finally makes sense for Porsche purists, or just another heavy SUV with big numbers? Then we revisit a story long-time listeners might remember—the Porsche vs. The Collection lawsuit in Miami. Porsche wanted The Collection to build an exclusive dealership on their own dime, but Miami real estate being what it is, The Collection passed. Porsche allegedly responded by restricting allocations, putting them in what The Collection calls a "death spiral." Now they're suing Porsche for $300 million, and it's heading to trial in Miami. This got ugly fast—what does this say about how Porsche handles dealer relationships? We also tackle the 911 S/T pricing saga—these are trading between $635k and $805k with a median around $700k. Owners and journalists are calling it "the best modern 911 ever built." But haven't we heard that before? The GT3 RS 4.0, the 911 R—each generation seems to claim that crown. We break down the specs: the RS 4.0 with its legendary Mezger engine (500 hp, 9,000 rpm, 2,999 lbs), the 911 R (500 hp, 8,600 rpm, 3,000 lbs), and the S/T (525 hp, 9,000 rpm, 3,056 lbs). With only 600 RS 4.0s, 991 Rs, and 1,963 S/Ts produced, can they all hold that title? Let's discuss what truly makes a 911 "the best ever." Thank you for your support!

    GT4 R, Porsche Card and Cayenne EV Launch

    In this episode, we're giving thanks to our people and diving into some fresh Porsche news and builds that caught our attention. We kick things off with the Kelly Moss GT4R build that turned heads at SEMA—this rebodied GT4 Club Sport features carbon fiber everywhere, wider wheels, a titanium exhaust, and what looks like 911 headlights. Is this the ultimate track weapon or too much of a good thing? Then we tackle the new Porsche credit card—yes, you heard that right. Is this just a cash grab, or does earning points on your service visits actually make sense for enthusiasts? We'll break down the perks and whether this is another revenue stream for Stuttgart or something worth considering. We also share our thoughts on the HSR event, including what we enjoyed and why a less crowded experience might not be a bad thing. On the racing front, we discuss Porsche's quiet exit from WEC in Bahrain without a championship after such a promising start to the season with the 963, and what their focus on US racing like the Rolex 24 means for fans stateside. We preview the 2026 EV Cayenne debuting November 20th with 350 miles of range—can it compete with the Rivian R1S and other EV SUVs, or is Porsche late to the party? Plus, a merch update you won't want to miss. Thank you for your support! Kimchi Crew  Leslie, Chris, Ken, Aaron, Matthew, Sean and Nik

    New Management, Less Money, MR and Three Turbos

    In this episode, we tackle some heavy news coming out of Stuttgart that's got the Porsche world talking. We break down Porsche's projected $1.1 billion quarterly loss—what led to this, the leadership shakeup with Michael Leithers taking over as CEO, and what a potential "sleepy era" could mean for production and the models we love. We discuss the controversial announcement of yet another US price increase and whether Porsche is pricing enthusiasts out of the market entirely, plus what this means for the used and classic car values. Then we dive into the mysterious W18 patent with three turbos—is this the hypercar we've all been waiting for, or just another patent filing that goes nowhere? We also cover Porsche shopping their stake in Manthey Racing and what that signals about their financial strategy moving forward. This is a critical moment for the brand, and we want to hear your thoughts on where Porsche goes from here and how it impacts all of us as enthusiasts. Thank you for your support!
