For this first-time visitor, the 2024 Megaphonics Porsche show leaves a lasting impression.

I have never been to the massive Rennsport Reunion, an annual gathering of all things Porsche, on America’s Californian coast, but I have seen the many stories reported from its Monterey base, and heard from those who have been, and it looks amazing. And while I’m unlikely to make it out there anytime soon, the good news is we now have our very own Rennsport Reunion equivalent, here in the UK…

There was a pinch-yourself moment as a sea of historic Porsche road and racing cars opened out

Megaphonics really is a British-based equivalent of the well-established Rennsport Reunion show for Porsche fans. That sounds like quite a leap, but seriously the breadth, quality and variety of historic Porsches on display was like nothing I have ever seen outside of the marque’s own museum in Zuffenhasen, Stuttgart.

Over the past two weeks cars had been arriving in the back of trucks from all of Europe, the UK and USA. Indeed two very special 911s with motor racing pedigree, stored and cared for at Racing Green Car Storage, were inspected and prepared by our team before being carefully loaded onto a double-deck enclosed car transporter and sent on their way, early on the Tuesday morning in the week leading up to the event.

By the time I caught up with the car early on the Sunday morning, for my first experience of Megaphonics, there was a bit of a pinch-yourself moment as a sea of historic Porsche road and racing cars opened out before you.

From early 912s to Speedsters, RS road cars to Supercup race cars, it was a remarkable selection of machinery from Porsche’s back catalogue. Take the 911 SC/RS as an example. The Super Carrera/RennSport is considered the Holy Grail of the Porsche ‘RS’ lineage, as it is the rarest of all street-legal RSs, with only 20 cars made. Built as a homologation special for Rothmans and the Porsche factory, it remains Porsche’s last ever factory rally car. The one on show at Megaphonics was prepared by David Richards Autosport – better known as Prodrive these days – and was driven to victory by both the late Henri Toivonen, and Ireland’s Billy Coleman.

It shows how established the event has become, both with car enthusiasts in the UK, and among the Porsche representatives back at the factory, as well as the many private collectors and dealers, that the organisers are able to curate such a volume of race cars, prototypes and significant road cars from Porsche’s rich back catalogue.

Yet despite this it felt like an intimate, private event, for just the hardcore Porsche fraternity, not in a selective or exclusive manner, rather, more like a secret event that a few of us had stumbled across.

Talk about the right crowd and no crowding. The well-worn Goodwood catchphrase sums up the experience that was delivered by Megaphonics 2024.

As word spreads, it is bound to get busier. My advice is, don't miss out in 2025.
