Pcar Talk Podcast Show Notes

Segment 1: Rezvani Retro Style Porsche

• Rezvani, known for its tank-like SUVs, is building a retro-style Porsche based on the 992 chassis.

• The Porsche will be available in three lines: Carrera S, GT3, and TurboS, with only 50 examples to be built.

• These Porsches won't be bulletproof like their SUVs, and the base kit starts at $150k, requiring the buyer to supply the car.

• The design is a modern take on the classic 935, and initial renderings look interesting.

• Discussion Point: Despite not personally associating with the market for Rezvani's SUVs, the high starting price and exclusivity of the retro-style Porsche may attract buyers. Is this a cool concept or just a gimmick, and why?

Segment 2: Porsche's Performance at Long Beach

• Porsche took 3rd place at Long Beach, securing another podium but not a win.

• The nature of the track made it challenging to make overtakes, with Porsche holding 3rd and 4th positions for most of the race.
