The Carrera GT is a car that will literally live in infamy. From its wild performance and savage V10 engine to its curvaceous and timeless design, it is hard to forget a machine that was in the public eye so many times. The Paul Walker tragedy, Jay Leno spinning one at 180 MPH, and the last hoorah for modern-analogue supercars are all moments in history that will continue the legend of the car itself. But in order to do that, you have to save the ones that are left.

Back when you were in high school, shop class was filled with woodworking tools, lathes, drill presses, and maybe the occasional welder. Nowadays, a well-funded school will teach kids how to use alien technology and act like it’s nothing. From CNC routers to laser cutters and 3D printers, the once basic engineering technology is now moving toward the future before our very eyes.
Porsche is a company that embraces 3D-printing as a manufacturing tool for real metal parts. Were not sure if this has been done before in the auto industry but we think it’s worth looking into. The parts involved in this new process are mainly the outer housings for electric-drive components and hardware. Using this technique, Porsche has made everything lighter, stronger, and more durable.

The word “Porsche” and “budget” don’t always find themselves in the same sentence these days. With the flagship 911 getting more and more out of reach for the general public, it leaves out those who are searching for a pure Porsche experience and lacking the big bucks. Luckily, depreciation is a real thing, just ask Mercedes.
To find a deal for a real driver’s car, looking at Craigslist is a great place to start. The entry-level sports car segment used to be popular beyond our imaginations before SUVs and sedans took over the world as we know it, and all those great cars ended up in people’s garages collecting dust. Here are a few Porsches that found themselves in that same situation, and that you can afford with some careful digging.

Paying $50,000+ for an old German car isn’t always fun. But of course, you get to enjoy a truly pure driving experience once you pay the price. But no matter the brand of your classic, it will always break. Buy a Mustang, Nova, or Charger from 1968 and it will eventually cause you some problems along with some money. Luckily for you, the part you need to fix it will always exist. But if you’re the sucker who bought a 1987 Volkswagen Scirocco, you’d be lucky to find a fender that isn’t off of another wrecked VW.
