Porsche technicians reveal the wildest cars they've ever worked on

Porsche service has given mechanics access to rare cars that most people will never see outside of a museum or racetrack.

These include early GT race cars, special edition road models, and unusual collector vehicles.

The work requires precise repair knowledge and experience with unique builds.

And some of the cars these mechanics work on might have you wishing you had chosen a different career.

What the Porsche technicians are working on

One account describes chassis number one of the 993 GT2, regarded as the first GT model built by Porsche.

The same car finished second at the 24 Hours of Daytona, securing its place in motorsport records.

Having such a machine in the workshop demonstrates the level of Porsche service carried out behind the scenes.

Another example is the 997 Sport Classic.

This car was never officially sold in the United States, making any that appear in workshops unusual cases.

Estimates suggest around 20 examples are in the country, and mechanics who work on them are dealing with some of the rarest road-going Porsches.

Historic racing cars add to the mix.

The 1986 Porsche 935, better known as the “Coke Car,” stood out for one mechanic.

Nicknamed “The Lady,” its wide bodywork and competition pedigree made it very different from other cars in the shop.

Encounters like this show how Porsche service often involves models tied directly to racing heritage.

Not every rare car in the workshop is a Porsche.

Mechanics also spoke about a 1940 Packard Super 8 convertible and a 1972 De Tomaso Pantera.

These unexpected visitors show the variety of collector vehicles that can find their way into Porsche repair bays.

Why Porsche service matters

Cars that pass through Porsche service centers often carry historical value as well as personal importance for their owners.

The 993 GT2 and the 935 Coke Car connect directly to the brand’s endurance racing history, while the 997 Sport Classic represents limited production runs that are rarely seen on the road.

Keeping rare cars in running condition ensures that they remain usable and visible rather than hidden away.

For mechanics, this means working on cars that require detailed knowledge and careful handling.

Porsche service continues to be a point where heritage, rare cars, and hands-on expertise meet in a workshop setting.
