2016 911 Carrera GTS Rennsport Reunion Edition
Porsche's ode to it's classic race cars and their drivers dips
Built to commemorate the fifth edition of Porsche’s ode to its classic racing cars and their drivers, the 2016 911 Carrera GTS Rennsport Reunion Edition was a special design package limited to just 25 examples. Each car sported Paint to Sample Fashion Gray paint with Black & Red center & side stripes and Black 20” Sport Classic wheels.
On the inside, the Rennsport Reunion Edition featured a Black leather and Alcantara interior with Red stitching, the RRV logo embossed on the arm rest, and special commemorative door sills. The cars also received quite the options list as standard including a Sport Exhaust System, Porsche Torque Vectoring, PDLS+ headlights, BOSE, Carbon interior bits, and SportDesign elements on the exterior.
This 2016 911 Carrera GTS Rennsport Reunion Edition shows just 1,500 miles on the odometer and is in excellent condition inside, outside, and underneath as shown in the many photographs in the gallery. It comes with plenty of service records, books, car cover, and both keys also painted in Fashion Gray. A collector-quality example of quite a rare car.
With only 25 cars produced, comps are few and far between. RRV Edition cars seemed to hover below the $150,000 mark in 2020 before jumping to just over $200k in 2022 when this example last sold at $207,500. Since then, we’ve had one other example sell at a final bid of $192,000 in September of last year. Our Spotlight car hammered at $198,000, a bit less than when it last sold but in line with the recent comp.
While prices look slightly softer, the buyer did well “buying the dip” as I don’t see these going anywhere but up in the next few years as it’s a well-optioned, limited edition, and one of the last N/A 911s. Well bought.
Two things that go hand-in-hand? Porsche and watches. Every Porschephile I know is also a watch nerd. And like Porsches, watches can be enjoyed at all price points.
On a recent visit to Pittsburgh, SML subscriber Allan S. tossed me his new Sheffield Allsport watch. Sheffield Watches is a reboot of an old dive watch brand founded in New York in the ‘50s that was synonymous with producing low-price point, quality watches. The weight of the stainless steel case felt robust, as did the feel of the screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel—definitely quality. As for price point, the Sheffield diver punches way above its weight at $108. You can’t buy more watch for the money, period.
And that’s what Sheffield Watches’ founder Jay Turkbas set out to accomplish, reviving the brand's ethos and creating a watch synonymous with quality, technology, and affordability. Taking inspiration from his original Sheffield watch from the ’70s and his 30-plus years of experience in product development and innovation, he knocked it out of the park with a durable watch capable of exploring the depths of the ocean one day and cars & coffee the next. And all at a price point equivalent to the $13 the watch originally cost back then. Take a moment to give Sheffield Watches a look. I know you’ll be just as impressed as I am.
