60 Years of the Porsche 911S: Air-Cooled Legend to Modern Carrera S

Season 16 · Episode 198

Monday, August 3, 2026 • Duration 01:23:22

60 years ago, Porsche fundamentally changed the sports car benchmark by affixing a single, iconic letter to the back of the 911: "S".

To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Porsche 911S (1966–2026), Lee and Andy embark on a comprehensive deep-dive into the history, engineering, and cultural impact of Porsche’s quintessential performance model. From its humble origins as a 160hp high-revving 2.0-litre screamer to today’s twin-turbocharged 992 Carrera S, we trace the complete timeline of the badge that defined everyday supercar usability.

Has the significance of the "S" badge diminished in an era dominated by GT3s, Turbos, and GTS models, or does the Carrera S remain the absolute sweet spot of the 911 lineup?

Special Guest Expert Panel:

The Air-Cooled Era: Adrian Crawford from Williams Crawford Passion for Porsche joins us to break down the golden age of air-cooled 911S models—from the original F-Model 2.0S, 2.2S, and 2.4S through to the iconic Carrera 2.7S and 2.8 RSR heritage.

The Water-Cooled Era: Jason from Porsche Centre Bournemouth steps in to guide us through the modern generation transition—evaluating the 996.2 Carrera S, 997.1/997.2, 991, and current 992 Carrera S to explain how Porsche dealership customers view the "S" badge today.

QUICK FAQ: 60 YEARS OF THE PORSCHE 911S

Q: When was the first Porsche 911S introduced? A: The Porsche 911S was first introduced in 1966 for the 1967 model year as the first high-performance derivative of the original 911, producing 160 hp from its 2.0-litre air-cooled flat-six engine.

The "S" in Porsche 911S stands for It designated upgraded engine performance, enhanced chassis components, vented disc brakes, and iconic Fuchs alloy wheels.

Guntherwerks Unfiltered: Goodwood Glory, New Cars & UK Partner revealed

Season 16 · Episode 197

Monday, July 27, 2026 • Duration 57:49

How did a twin-turbocharged, 1,067hp air-cooled Porsche homage conquer the iconic Goodwood hillclimb? In this exclusive episode of 9WERKS Radio, we sit down with Peter Nam, CEO of Guntherwerks, to pull back the curtain on one of the most remarkable achievements in modern automotive engineering.

Fresh off their sensational victory at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the wild Guntherwerks F-26 clocked a staggering 50.41-second run to claim the overall fastest time for a road-legal car, Peter joins Lee and Andy to break down every second of that historic hillclimb pass.

From the engineering behind the 935 Slantnose-inspired carbon-fiber body and Rothsport-developed 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six to the high-stakes pressure of taking on the world’s elite supercars at Goodwood, Peter gives us the raw, unfiltered story from inside the pit garage.

But that’s not all. In this world-exclusive interview, Peter reveals what the future holds for Guntherwerks over the next 12 months, including:

The Goodwood Debrief: How the 1,067hp F-26 dominated the 2026 Timed Shootout.
Engineering the Impossible: Blending air-cooled Mezger heritage with modern active suspension and carbon technology.
Exclusive Product Reveals: What new models are currently behind closed doors in Huntington Beach.
UK Expansion & New Partner Announcement: Guntherwerks’ major new UK partner and plans for right-hand-drive customer deliveries.

Approved or Denied? Pitching Our Ultimate Porsche Investment Picks

Season 16 · Episode 196

Monday, July 20, 2026 • Duration 01:17:08

If you had to convince a bank manager to lend you the money for a depreciating sports car, what would your ultimate pitch be? Today, we’re putting our money where our mouth is.

In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, your hosts are joined by special guest panelist Saquib from the DNHC (Driven Not Hidden Collective) for a high-stakes, highly speculative game. We are scanning the virtual showroom of the 9WERKS Marketplace to answer the ultimate question: Which Porsches are actually going up in value right now?

The rules of the game are simple. One of us chooses a car currently listed on the marketplace and pitches it to the other two, who are acting as strict, risk-averse bank managers. To win the funding, the pitch has to be flawless. Is the car a guaranteed future classic, or is it a financial money pit? Would a bank actually release the funds in real life?

From overlooked water-cooled gems to air-cooled icons hitting a market sweet spot, we debate the numbers, the data, and the emotional triggers that drive Porsche values.

In this episode, we discuss:

The Bank Manager Challenge: Pitching real cars from the 9WERKS Marketplace.
Porsche Market Trends: What is driving values up (or down) right now?
Future Classic Predictions: The specific models we think are set to climb.
Investment vs. Enjoyment: Can you buy a Porsche to drive and make a profit?

Drop your investment picks in the comments—which car would you pitch to the bank?

Blowing Up Watches & Driving Porsches with Ian Elliot

Season 16 · Episode 194

Monday, July 6, 2026 • Duration 01:21:32

What happens when a hardcore petrolhead applies Porsche’s legendary engineering philosophy to watchmaking? You get timepieces that are built to survive just about anything.

In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, we sit down with Ian Elliot, the co-founder of Elliot Brown Watches, a man who lives by the mantra "driven, not hidden." Ian doesn't believe in keeping beautiful machinery locked away in a safe—whether it's his cars or his watches, they are built to be used, abused, and thoroughly enjoyed.

From strapping timepieces to the hull of a round-the-world race boat for a year to literally blowing them up to find their breaking point, Ian goes to extreme lengths to stress-test his products. The goal? To create the ultimate daily-driver watch: high-performing, resilient, and usable all the time.

In this episode, we dive into:

The "Driven, Not Hidden" Ethos: Why the best machines belong out on the road (and on the wrist), not gathering dust.
Extreme Mad Science: The wild stories behind exploding watches and surviving global ocean voyages.
The Porsche Parallel: How Elliot Brown mirrors Porsche's iconic balance of daily usability and high-performance engineering.
Ian’s Garage: The cars that fuel his passion and how automotive design influences his approach to watchmaking.

Grab a coffee, fire up the flat-six, and join us for a fascinating look at precision engineering, extreme durability, and a shared obsession with the drive.

Summer 2026 Porsche Marketplace: Market Manipulation, Older Car Appreciation & Hidden Gems

Season 16 · Episode 191

Monday, June 15, 2026 • Duration 53:41

In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee Sibley and Andy Brookes sit down with Henry and Danny from Lakeside Classics for an unfiltered, deep-dive evaluation of the current Porsche landscape.

Henry and Danny bring their front-line dealer expertise to the studio to unpack some incredibly nuanced—and potentially controversial—trends dictating values, buyer behavior, and vehicle availability right now.

In this episode, we break down:

Why It’s a Seller’s Market: Despite broader economic headwinds, high-quality Porsches are locked in a definitive seller's market. We explain why serious buyers are competing over a shortage of top-tier stock.
Market Manipulation Exposed: Henry and Danny explain how and why certain sectors of the marketplace at large are facing artificial manipulation right now, and how savvy enthusiasts can spot it.
The Flight to the Vintage: Why there is a massive, accelerating appreciation for older cars. Buyers are moving away from digital complexity and heavily investing in analog, visceral driving experiences.
The Outliers: A close look at the highly unique, low-volume, and specific spec Porsches that are quietly bucking the curves and rapidly climbing in value.

Whether you are looking to trade up, cash out, or just want the ultimate insider knowledge on the health of the UK Porsche industry, this is a masterclass in market literacy.
