About this episode
Monterey Car Week 2025 was an exhilarating experience for the Porsche Club Insider crew, filled with auctions, exclusive car previews, and engaging conversations with notable figures in the automotive world. Highlights included the unveiling of the 963 RSP, the 70th Anniversary Club Coupe, and a variety of rare Porsches at Gooding & Co. The team also discussed the challenges of managing the growing event, the excitement of seeing unique cars, and the importance of maintaining a positive atmosphere among enthusiasts. The episode captures the essence of car culture and the camaraderie shared during this iconic week.
We talk about what we saw and did during this year’s Monterey Car Week. Of course, it was with a focus on our favorite brand, Porsche. We cover the major auction houses and the Porsches we saw. Plus, we chat a bit about this year’s Werks Reunion, some other shows we visited and spending a day with the folks from Gunther Werks at Laguna Seca. So much happened, we hope you enjoy us sharing it with you on this week’s episode.
