Very few automotive manufacturers have the level of consistency and success experienced by Porsche. After all, Porsche pioneered the rear-engine vehicle setup while also perfecting the trademarked small-block flat-six. Although Porsche's are, more or less, the same over these decades, they've still had some unique classic models.

Today, Porsche's lineup consists of an SUV, sports cars, hybrids, and so on; very well established for the current market. Of course, there could always be some extra diversity injected into their registry, particularly in the form of some discontinued classics. Purists/enthusiasts would go mad with anticipation and sales could skyrocket!

For Porsche fans, very little would make their day more than for great models to make a victorious comeback, but which ones should they revive? Our answer is these fifteen (older) Porsches that deserve another chance...

15 Porsche Panamera Manual Transmission

Via: sznyt.pl

First off, we've got a very self-explanatory Porsche model. Just as you'd probably think, the goal here is for a manual, six-speed, transmission, but in the newer Panamera models. Once upon a time, the first generation Panamera had a manual option, however, it was limited and quickly fazed out.

14 Porsche 914/6

A sports car that needs some love and deserves another opportunity is Porsche's 914, perhaps the most neglected/omitted Porsche ever. More specifically, though, the faster 914/6 model: a small sports car which wasn't a bog-standard 911. With the push towards smaller, more ecologically-friendly, vehicles, we believe that the 914 (914/6) could be the ideal platform!

13 Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder

In a sort of homage to the old Porsche 550 Spyder, Porsche decided to make a tribute car with the latest Porsche Boxster; dubbed the Boxster RS 60 Spyder. It was (in short) a normal Porsche Boxster, just with a special red interior, redesigned aero/exterior components, and added horsepower.

This model is one of Porsche's more niche cars, so don't be surprised if not everyone has heard of, or remembers the old RS 60 Spyder.

12 Porsche 924

Speaking of the 914 we mentioned earlier, its successor also deserves a reboot: the classic Porsche 924. The best way to describe the Porsche 924 is a mix between two cars: Porsche's 944 and their future 928. It has the pointy-ness of the 944, but the more sleek design of the 928. For those of us who can't decide between the two, the 924 is the perfect middle-ground.

11 Porsche Type 64

Every legend begins somewhere. In Porsche's circumstance, it was the Type 64, also known as the "Nazi car" due to its production during Hitler's reign. The Type 64 is as O.G. as it gets; hand-sculpted metal exterior, bare-bones interior, and the patented flat-four (before Porsche had mastered the flat-six).

Modern technology into an antique aesthetic would certainly make for an interesting return, just make sure you don't accidentally pay $30 to $70 million for one...

10 Porsche 959

In the spirit of Porsche's fight against Ferrari for the title of the world's greatest supercar/hypercar, why not revive the beloved 959? After all, the 959 was the Ferrari F40's strongest competition; frequently stealing the Italian's thunder with their state-of-the-art technology and features, along with a previously unseen level of performance.

Surely, a modernized Porsche 959 would be the ideal replacement for the new 918 Spyder, especially since the 919 title is already taken.

9 Porsche 356 Speedster

Similar to the Porsche 911, the 356-series is one of Porsche's most recognized and successful Porsches. Used in all things motorsports and daily driving, the 356 Speedster is the quintessential late-50's/early-'60s foreign roadster. No top, no needless assists. There was only a pure driving experience and the wind at high speeds.

8 Porsche 944

As of late, the Porsche 944 (along with the original Boxster and 996 Carrera) is one of Porsche's cheapest used cars. They're not bad, though, just different than the stereotypical 911. A front-engine setup and 924/928 aesthetics wouldn't last too long, but they'd be neat to see in a futuristic remake.

7 Porsche 956

To ask Porsche to recreate a car like the Group C 956 may be asking too much, to be honest. It's the sort of vehicle that only comes once in a lifetime: constant Le Mans wins, beautiful design, amazing sound, and utter dominance over all of those brave enough to fight it.

With all the new regulations, safety standards and hybrid systems, it's most likely a foregone conclusion that a car like the 956 will never been seen again. Nevertheless, that just makes the original one all the more special.

6 Porsche 928

Compared to a lot of the old Porsches, the 928 was an odd-looking one. Nicknamed "The Egg" by a handful of fans, the 928 wasn't Porsche's most reliable sports car, yet, it sold well and won over a decent portion of the buying public. It's unlikely that the 928 name will return, but perhaps a reference to the egg styling.

5 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0

Via: rmsothebys.com

Before you start, we're aware that the 911 RSR is in use today, just not as a road car. Rather, a GT-class race car for the track only. Since the platform is already there, it'd be easy for Porsche to swap in a new RSR 3.0-liter flat-six (mimicking the classic), regulate it for the road, and sell it to the general population. Easier said than done, though.

4 Porsche 550 Spyder

This is the car that the Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder tried to embody: the 550 Spyder. The 550 Spyder is to Porsche what the 250 Testa Rossa was to Ferrari; their holy grail. Just like the Testa Rossa, both cars competed in the same series and fought for the wins. And, once again, the 550 Spyder is one of Porsche's most exclusive cars (just like the 250).

3 Porsche GT1 Strassenversion

Via: thesupercarblog.com

The Porsche GT1 Strassenversion is exactly as advertised: a street-legal (translation of Strassenversion) Porsche GT1 race car with a license plate, turn signals, and 530+ horsepower. Since the GT1 season is all but forgotten nowadays, it's unlikely that the same name will return, but maybe a version for the modern GT-class.

2 Porsche 917

Via: carmagazine.co.uk

No Porsche list would be complete (regardless of the topic at hand) without discussing the legendary Porsche 917. Similar to the 956, the 917 was made for Group C, except the 917 is Porsche's most successful race car ever.

To Le Mans fans and Porsche purists, the 917 is the best car ever made, period. Maybe the amount of wins, jaw-dropping looks, and heroic status are the reasons why Porsche hasn't remade the 917 yet: Simply too much to live up to.

1 Porsche Carrera GT

Via: hemmings.com

A few Porsche purists may argue that the Carrera GT already has a remake: the Porsche 918 Spyder. Yes, it's newer, but not a recreation, rather, its successor. Don't get us wrong, the 918 is outstanding, however, it's no Carrera GT.

The Carrera GT is a whole other level than today's supercars. Powered by a ludicrous V10 and a wild nature, the GT was certainly a race car that managed to sneak past the regulations (at least it feels that way). It was so crazy, in fact, that Porsche released several statements about the Carrera GT's difficulty to operate; one day before Paul Walker's infamous crash...
