Porsche did enter Formula One as a constructor briefly in the early 60's. The Wikipedia entry is as follows: The ,Porsche 718, RSK, a two-seater sports car, in the late 1950s was also entered in ,Formula Two, races, as rules permitted this, and lap times were promising. The 718 first was modified by moving the seat into the center of the car, then also proper open wheelers were built. These 1500 cc cars enjoyed some success. The former F2 were moved up to ,Formula One, in 1961, where Porsche's outdated design was not competitive. For ,1962,, a newly developed flat-eight powered and sleek ,Porsche 804, produced Porsche's only win as a constructor in a championship race, claimed by ,Dan Gurney, at the ,1962 French Grand Prix,. One week later, he repeated the success in front of Porsche's home crowd on ,Stuttgart,'s ,Solitude, in a non-championship race. At the end of the season, Porsche withdrew from F1 due to the high costs, just having acquired the Reutter factory. Volkswagen and German branches of suppliers had no interest in a F1 commitment as this series was too far away from road cars. Privateers continued to enter the out-dated Porsche 718 in F1 until 1964.
Back in early 2016 I owned four cars including two classic Mazda RX7s (one was a limited edition convertible), a 1997 BMW M3 in TechnoViolet and a 1998 Porsche Boxster. A Collector, Not A Hoarder Yes, I hoard things. 2002–2004 Porsche Boxster Convertible - Courtesy of ,OSX, - Wikipedia - All Rights Reserved I’m not a hoarder (no judgement please) like you might see on television. No, in reality, as my very patient male life partner has said I’m more of a classic “collector”. I collect information, cars, books, magazines and snow globes. An Important Heart-To-Heart Conversation Luckily my partner had a heart-to-heart conversation with me and convinced me of the importance of letting go of some of my beloved cars. I had to make some serious decisions due to a number of economical and space related reasons. After collecting my beloved cars over the course of 25 years, I let go of all of them except my Porsche Boxster. 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman S - Herranderssvensson, - Wikipedia - All Rights Reserved Luckily I found very good homes for my two RX7s and BMW M3. Yes, I cried buckets of tears, but I could sleep at night and not worry about my cars. Eventually, due to extenuating circumstances, and the amazing guidance of Quora’s Porsche god, ,Stan Hanks,, I finally sold my beloved Boxster in 2017. The Automobile Free Zone My partner and I went from being a 5 car family to a 1 car family with our 2 year old Acura. After years of owning and loving Corvettes and BMWs, my partner opted for financial practicality and overall efficiency when he purchased his Acura. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a lovely and comfortable car with all the appropriate amenities. 1952 Porsche 356 K/9-1 Prototype photographed at the Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance in Rochester, Michigan, August 7, 2005, by Douglas Wilkinson for ,www.RemarkableCars.com, Copyright 2006 ,Pictures of Cars, - Wikipedia - All Rights Reserved Unfortunately, after owning and driving ,Porsches,, BMWs and Maxda RX7s for the vast majority of my life, the Acura is like drinking ,Cold Duck, after years of enjoying ,Krug, or ,Cristal. Note: ,To read more about Cold Duck as part of a wedding reception fountain check out one of the funniest answers on Quora: ,Stan Hanks's answer to What mistakes have you seen at weddings? I do drive the Acura, but only when I need to get from Point A to Point B. Yes, I’m grateful to have access to a reliable car, but it’s automatic and the first I’ve ever really driven in my entire life, other than rental cars. The Pros And Cons Of Uber And Lyft Since entering the world of the nameless, faceless, car less people, I’ve used a variety of methods to transport my body around Dallas. I’ve taken Uber and Lyft and it is definitely convenient, easy and pretty much safe. I do prefer Lyft drivers to Uber drivers, even though they tend to all drive for both companies. A bottle of ,Louis Roederer, ,Cristal Champagne, (1993) - Photograph taken by ,Can't sleep, clown will eat me, February 2, 2006. I also find my driving urges have changed drastically. When I could just walk into the garage, pop into my Porsche or BMW and drive off, I didn’t worry so much about traffic or transportation times. Now that I often borrow the Acura, I often am out driving in the wee hours of the morning when there is minimal traffic and the travel times are much shorter. Would I Sell My Car And Use Public Transportation If It Was Safer? Since I’ve sold all my car, my answer is yes that I would do that and I would use public transportation. Not necessarily because it’s safer. Even the Uber and Lyft drivers are out on the roads in traffic. Buses and trains are also problematic in their own rights. The primary reason I sold my car is because of the high cost of maintenance, insurance and storage. My Future Car Ownership Plans Will I ever get another car someday? Never say never. As long as I can call Uber or Lyft, bum rides from friends or share the family Acura, I’m good for now. One thing is true. I find without a car I don’t take any unnecessary trips anywhere, which is a real time and money saver. I also tend to stay in one place longer than before, if that makes any sense. Give Me A Stick Shift Or Give Me Ride Sharing There is also a major problem concerning my future car ownership. If I could acquire a car I really loved and enjoyed driving (a clutch is mandatory), I might not be able to motivate myself to pull the trigger and invest the money. For now I am primarily car less, but content with my transportation options. Best wishes to all.

Thanks for the A2A ,David Chuong,. I will just give you a quick price comparison, with a summary at the bottom of the page. A 2017 Tesla Model S 60 will cost you $100,800. A 2017 Tesla Model X 60D will cost you $111,900 (aud). A 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR Coupe will cost you $289,590. A 2017 Nissan GTR Premium Edition will cost you $189,000. A 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider will cost you $99,000. A 2017 Audi TT RS will cost you $145,000. A 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class will cost you $70,000. A 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Coupe will cost you $279,000. A 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster will cost you $130,000. So in conclusion for around the same price of a Tesla Model S/X, you could also get a: 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster - $130,000 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class - $70,000 2017 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider - $99,000 2017 Audi TT RS - $145,000 This selection of cars is actually quite good. The cheapest being the $70,000 Mercedes and the most expensive being the $145,000 Audi TT RS. (I only mentioned the GTR and the F-Type, to show what some examples of some medium range expensive luxury supercars). I have driven the Boxster on multiple occasions (my best-friend owns two), and I liked the feel of the driving experience, although the lag of the Turbo was quite noticable. But if you are just driving it to get from A to B, it is a pretty good car. 7/10 The Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class, is one of the cheaper Mercedes on the market, and it feels cheap. It sounds great, but the steering was quite sluggish when I drove it. It looks fantastic, but the performance of the engine is a let down. 4/10 The Alfa Romeo 4C Spider is amazing! It was one of the funnest cars I have ever driven. It has a fun engine to play around with, and its great to take on the track. It also looks amazing in my opinion. But one issue, is that it is quite expensive to maintain (like all supercars, and sportscars). 8/10 The Audi TT RS was an interesting car to drive. It looks like it should be quick and zippy but it feels like youre driving a big sluggish car. That was my experience, but I do know people who have enjoyed driving it and would never part ways with it. 5/10 If I had to choose out of those 3 cars and the 2 Teslas. I would have to choose the Tesla Model S. I love the smooth look of it and the amazing specifications, and the amazing engineering of the engine.
The rarest car I have seen may not be rare in certain parts of the world, but it’s certainly rare in Malaysia. They are: American Muscle Cars. They’re never popular here because: a) Left-hand drive only makes it a hassle to import. b) Their engines are so big in cubic capacity that it costs an arm & a leg in road tax c) It’s hard to maintain, since Malaysians aren’t usually hands on in terms of car maintenance and no official support from the manufacturer. Sure there might be a mechanic that’s well versed in American muscle, but it will cost a bomb. When you consider all that and add to the acquisition costs - which will be much more than what you’ll pay for in America - you’re better off buying a Porsche or a Ferrari. At least you get more cachet from driving a Porsche or Ferrari, compared to driving a ,Ford,. PS: Interestingly enough, Ford became the first manufacturer to officially import a muscle car into Malaysia with the right-hand drive Mustang 5.0 GT for around RM 598,000 or $141,000. A far cry from the MSRP in America, isn’t it? To put it into perspective, for ,RM 100,000 ($23,000) less you can get a Porsche 718 or a Porsche Macan.
I have a 718 Boxster. It’s a wonderful car. I paid cash for it, so my income level was never part of the discussion. I found it really hard to justify making payments on a car that would sit in my garage for half the year, and held off buying a Porsche until I could pay cash. Your income is only part of the data you need to make this decision. You need to think about how much cash you can put down. The cars start at about $56K but the price rises rapidly with options. Do you really want to finance a big chunk of cash on a depreciating asset? You need to now how much of your income will be going toward other expenses. You need to decide if you’d like to be “car poor” and have to limit your spending in other areas. My dad, who owned a Porsche long ago, told me about his “Porsche Test” Take 5 100 dollar bills. Hold them in your hand, light them on fire, and flush them down the toilet. If you can do that, buy yourself a Porsche.
Firstly, I will write the price of the car. Porsche 718 Boxster costs ₹ 1,04,12,080 (On road price New Delhi). There is a lot of customization in this car. If you wish to customize, be ready to shell out at least INR 25-35 lacs. Regarding the yearly insurance renewal, it should cost you INR 3,50,000 approximately for the second year assuming there is no claim in the previous year. This insurance shall keep going down every year. There shall be one service a year which should cost you close to INR 1,00,000. Could be a bit more too. This will include normal fluid changes and all. If there is a part replacement required, it will cost more. This car should be able to run on normal fuel and can be used as a daily driver assuming you are ok with the fuel costs.
Porsche 718 Cayman GTS (mid-engined) Apparently, the Boxster shares about 80% of the same parts as the 911, yet with a significantly lower price (although both can be optioned up to crazy figures). As of 2017 only, they have different engines, and the 911 can be optioned up to a much more powerful engine than that available on the Boxster. But the interior is largely interchangeable. What are the differences? Design,: The 911 looks more classically Porsche. The Boxster isn’t everyone’s cup of tea in terms of styling, although others (myself included) think the 911 looks like an upturned bathtub and find the Boxster much more fetching. Performance,: If you compare the base 911 engine (twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six making 370 horsepower and 331 pounds-feet of torque) with the upgraded Boxster engine (turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four makes 350 hp and 309 pounds-feet), the performance numbers are very close, especially considering the lighter weight of the Boxster. Although the danger and twitchiness of 911’s of old has been bred out in current iterations, it’s hard to argue that the Boxster’s mid-engine design isn’t superior for handling. Physics doesn’t care how much you spent on your car: mid-engine is just better than rear engine. Image,: if this is important, you will always be driven to the more expensive model. Porsche 911 (rear-engined) For me, I would actually prefer the Boxster for the better handling and the lower profile. Porsche Boxster/Cayman - Wikipedia Porsche 911 - Wikipedia
The only difference will be the roof. Repairs to the mechanism can get expensive, though if you learn how to do it yourself (Youtube videos and Ebay parts) it turns out to be fairly simple and much cheaper. Also, this generally doesn't become an issue until the car is 10+ (or in the case of a very dusty climate like here in Dubai, 6+).
