    Robert Downey Jr's Porsche 993 Turbo: Don’t buy a new Porsche that will lose you money; buy this instead

    Launched in 1995, the 993 Turbo drew direct inspiration from the legendary 959 supercar, blending all wheel drive grip with a 3.6 litre twin turbo flat six pumping out 408 horsepower. Variable turbine geometry on the turbos minimised lag, while adjustable suspension and wide rear track gave it road car poise and track ferocity. Downey's example captures that era's raw analogue charm, with hydraulic steering, minimal electronics and a cabin focused on driver immersion rather than infotainment overload. Buyers who grabbed one in 2011 for around $90,000 now see values hovering at $275,000, delivering an annualised return of 16.2 percent. That beats many stock indices and crushes new Porsche depreciation, where models like the 992 shed 20 to 30 percent in three years.
