9WERKS Radio : The Porsche and Car Podcast

If you had to convince a bank manager to lend you the money for a depreciating sports car, what would your ultimate pitch be? Today, we’re putting our money where our mouth is.
In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, your hosts are joined by special guest panelist Saquib from the DNHC (Driven Not Hidden Collective) for a high-stakes, highly speculative game. We are scanning the virtual showroom of the 9WERKS Marketplace to answer the ultimate question: Which Porsches are actually going up in value right now?
The rules of the game are simple. One of us chooses a car currently listed on the marketplace and pitches it to the other two, who are acting as strict, risk-averse bank managers. To win the funding, the pitch has to be flawless. Is the car a guaranteed future classic, or is it a financial money pit? Would a bank actually release the funds in real life?
From overlooked water-cooled gems to air-cooled icons hitting a market sweet spot, we debate the numbers, the data, and the emotional triggers that drive Porsche values.
In this episode, we discuss:
The Bank Manager Challenge: Pitching real cars from the 9WERKS Marketplace.
Porsche Market Trends: What is driving values up (or down) right now?
Future Classic Predictions: The specific models we think are set to climb.
Investment vs. Enjoyment: Can you buy a Porsche to drive and make a profit?
Drop your investment picks in the comments—which car would you pitch to the bank?
Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

The smell of high-octane fuel, the echoes of flat-sixes down the Mulsanne Straight, and the absolute pinnacle of historic motorsport. Welcome to our Le Mans Classic 2026 Special!
In this very special episode of 9WERKS Radio, we pack our bags and head across the Channel to the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe. We had the immense privilege of embedded access with the team at Paragon Porsche to follow a truly thrilling campaign: Mark Sumpter piloting his iconic, fire-breathing Porsche 993 GT2 Evo to a spectacular class victory. We take you behind the pit wall to experience the tension, the strategy, and the raw emotion of winning at Le Mans.
But the track action didn’t stop there. The 2026 event delivered an absolute sensory overload of motorsport royalty. We get up close and personal with the ultimate legends of endurance racing, tracking the sights and sounds of the homologation-special Porsche and McLaren GT1s, screaming 993 and 964 RSRs, and the legendary water-cooled 996 GT3 RS and Cup cars. Plus, we look back at the thunderous Group C era, the iconic 917s, and the modern-classic monsters of LMP1.
Whether you were there trackside or want to live the weekend vicariously through us, grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and join us for the ultimate celebration of Porsche motorsport heritage.

What happens when a hardcore petrolhead applies Porsche’s legendary engineering philosophy to watchmaking? You get timepieces that are built to survive just about anything.
In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, we sit down with Ian Elliot, the co-founder of Elliot Brown Watches, a man who lives by the mantra "driven, not hidden." Ian doesn't believe in keeping beautiful machinery locked away in a safe—whether it's his cars or his watches, they are built to be used, abused, and thoroughly enjoyed.
From strapping timepieces to the hull of a round-the-world race boat for a year to literally blowing them up to find their breaking point, Ian goes to extreme lengths to stress-test his products. The goal? To create the ultimate daily-driver watch: high-performing, resilient, and usable all the time.
In this episode, we dive into:
The "Driven, Not Hidden" Ethos: Why the best machines belong out on the road (and on the wrist), not gathering dust.
Extreme Mad Science: The wild stories behind exploding watches and surviving global ocean voyages.
The Porsche Parallel: How Elliot Brown mirrors Porsche's iconic balance of daily usability and high-performance engineering.
Ian’s Garage: The cars that fuel his passion and how automotive design influences his approach to watchmaking.
Grab a coffee, fire up the flat-six, and join us for a fascinating look at precision engineering, extreme durability, and a shared obsession with the drive.
