After eons, we have come to equate Porsche with luxury, sophistication, and elegance. Porsche, like other well-known luxury brands such as BMW and Mercedes, is German-made and has a long history of racing automobiles.

Porsche has risen in the ranks throughout the years, and while it is not as pricey as Ferraris, the brand has made it to the top 100 most expensive vehicle brands. Let’s take a peek at some porches you might not have even known existed.

1979 Porsche 935

Well, the Porsche 935 has had a more eventful run than most of us have in our lives. You’re probably wondering how an automobile could have a better life than mine. So, have you ever raced at Le Mans and finished first in your class and second overall? I suppose not. However, the Porsche 935 accomplished all of this, and Apple sponsored the racecar in 1980. It was later auctioned off for $4,840,000 in 2016.

1955 Porsche 550 Spyder

The 550 Spyder was designed solely for racing. During the Amelia Island auction in 2016, Jerry Seinfeld, the famed comedian, sold it for a stunning $5,335,000 from his collection of Porsche automobiles. Mind-blowing. How many years will you have to break your back to get one? Dreams, after all, are real. Continue to push.

1972 Porsche 917/10 Spyder

The Porsche 917/10 Spyder is a modern-day legend. The German beast won five of nine races in 1972. The Spyder is powered by a 1,150 horsepower 5.4-liter twin-turbo 12-cylinder engine. The Porsche 917/10 was auctioned off for the absurd sum of $5,830,000 at the Mecum Monetary auction in 2012. With all of those accomplishments, the Porsche 917/10 price was justified.

Every racecar’s worth is determined by the accomplishments it has achieved during its run. It’s acceptable to claim that we can judge its worth by making it relatable to ourselves. If a vehicle can do it, why can’t you? Consider this:
