In celebration of the fifth Rennsport Reunion, Porsche’s Exclusive division crafted a special edition of the pre-facelift 911 GTS that was presented at this year’s gathering at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

Whenever we hear the words ‘Porsche’, ‘Exclusive’, ‘Special Edition’ and ‘Limited Run’ in the same sentence, we immediately think of…cough…cough…exorbitant price hike, and the Germans don’t disappoint.

The standard 2016 Porsche 911 GTS coupe, which has been removed from the brand’s US catalogue as the facelifted 2017MY 911 took its place, costs $114,200, excluding destination and handling. To get your hands on one of the 25 examples of the 2016 Porsche Carrera GTS Rennsport Reunion coming our way, the Germans are asking for $148,335, without the $995 destination charge, or a $34,135 premium.

You could do that or alternatively, you could shell out another $2,665 for the $151k 911 Turbo, or if you really want to impress your friends and…yourself, save $18k and go for the $130k 911 GT3.

But if you’re hell-bent on getting the limited edition 430hp GTS Rennsport Reunion that’s available exclusively with a manual gearbox reaching 60mph in 4.2 sec and a top speed of 190mph (305km/h), let’s see what you gain over the standard model for the price difference of a fairly well-equipped mid-size family car.

On the outside, the Rennsport Reunion Edition is painted in the custom color Fashion Grey sporting decorative black and red decals, high-gloss black trimmings, smoked LED headlamps and black 20-inch Sport Classic wheels.

For the cabin, Porsche Exclusive chose carbon fiber trimmings, illuminated door-sill guards, with the SportDesign steering wheel, door panels, dashboard, headrests and floor mats stitched in Carmine Red, which is also the color of the seat belts and central tachometer. In addition, the center compartment lid is embossed with the Rennsport Reunion V logo, while the vehicle key is painted in grey and comes with a leather key pouch featuring Carmine Red accents and “911 Carrera GTS Rennsport Reunion Edition” lettering.

You also get 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, PASM Sport Suspension, a Bose Audio Package, and Rear Park Assist as standard.

So, do you think it’s worth it?
