For the first time, Apex Wheels attended the legendary Porsche Rennsport Reunion 7. We had some seriously cool cars on display in our booth as well as the new CTEK wheel display cart. It was incredible to meet some of our customers in person and get to talk with potential customers face to face and let them get hands-on with our wheel lineup including the forged EC-7RS and VS-5RS on display at our booth.

There were more historic Porsche's at this event than any other. Everything from classic 356's to prototype 962's and everything in between. These cars getting out on track is what separates Rennsport Reunion from your average Porsche event. Nothing beats seeing 935's and 956/962's battling it out on track, it's like being transported back in time to a golden age of motorsport.

There is no shortage of newer water-cooled cars either. With 996 cups to the RS spyder and 919 prototypes. Whatever your Porsche niche you can see it here at Rennsport Reunion. Even concept cars like the Mission X and Project Vision 357 Speedster were on display for all to see.

The Coolest unveil of the event was none other than the GT3R Rennsport. An uncorked GT3R with the 4.2L flat six pushing out 620hp at a whopping 9,400rpm. With retro aero styling this new track day special looks the part, and for 77 lucky owners will surely be the highlight of some collections.
