Is Porsche About to Revive the 911 Slantnose?
There's no car currently on sale today that's as instantly recognizable as the Porsche 911. The brand's designers have done an incredible job maintaining the form of the icon over the decades, gradually evolving the shape as time goes on. That said, there have been the occasional deviations from the pattern — and while many might consider the 996 generation to be the odd man out, that honor truly belongs to the Flachbau. And, according to recent European Trademark filings, it appears that Porsche might be gearing up to bring the ugly duckling back once again. The Flachbau, or 'slantnose' as it's known colloquially, was a product of Porsche Motorsports in the 1980s. The look was first seen on the brand's 935 racers, with Kremer Racing developing body kits that mirrored the look in 1981. A year later, Tag Heuer owner Mansour Ojjeh tasked Porsche with building him a road-legal 935. The resulting project was based on a 930 Turbo, and featured a ton of bespoke hardware. That car proved to be so popular with enthusiasts that Porsche would start offering the flat fender look under the Sonderwunsch program in 1986. The package wasn't cheap, adding as much as 60% to the price of a standard 930. Still, according to 911Flachbau, 948 cars were ultimately converted to the slantnose spec, although only 160 found their way to the United States. A great many more were built in the aftermarket, but genuine cars carry significantly more value in today's market. The decades since have seen the 911 stick by its traditional face we all know and love. But earlier this May, as brought to broader attention by Autoblog, the European Union Intellectual Property Office received request for trademarks on the terms 'Porsche Flachbau' and 'Flachbau RS.' It'd be easy to assume that the brand plans to use the nameplate on a special edition 911 — particularly a Turbo given the history. That said, the 'RS' moniker throws a bit of a wrench into the mix. Perhaps Porsche is looking back at the 935 heritage behind the Flachbau name, with plans to bring a more genuine motorsports connection. Either way, we'd love to see what Porsche's modern team of designers is able to do with a slantnose design. Their recent take on the 935 itself remains one of our favorite modern Porsches.

Warren Hammond's Personal View: Gold to hit R91 935 - The case remains intact
On 8 March 2021, with gold trading at $ 1,690/oz (R31,074), I recommended investors buy and accumulate the metal. Readers can refer back to my posts on that date, and since then, to familiarise themselves with what has become a long-standing and personally defining recommendation. A thoughtful question was recently asked of me by a Middle East–based institutional private credit fund manager: 'Could a slew of trade agreements trigger a sharp pullback in the gold price?' While I acknowledge the potential for short-term price fluctuations, I remain confident that the structural drivers supporting gold's long-term ascent remain firmly intact. Since that original recommendation, gold has moved materially higher. The $3,000 (R55,161) price target reached in early 2025 was upgraded to $5,000 (R91,935) on 26 February 2025, with a 12-month horizon. Do I expect volatility? Certainly, a 5 – 8% correction is part of any healthy trend. But I do not anticipate a crash, even amid trade accords. The Broader Macro Context To fully appreciate this view, one must consider the broader macro framework. In January 2016, I published 'The USA – Major Themes 2015–2033', arguing that this period would echo the historic transformation of 1895–1913, a time of seismic shifts in industry, finance, geopolitics, and technology. Consider the parallels: Trade Protectionism – McKinley's 1897 tariffs vs. today's US-China duties Energy Transition – Coal and electrification then, renewables and EVS now Tech Disruption – Model T, plastics, and radio vs. AI, quantum, and robotics Immigration Shifts – Labour realignment then and now Financial Reset – The Panic of 1907 led to the Fed; today's system is again overstretched Isolationism – Then and now, a pullback from global integration In both eras, gold plays a stabilising role, not speculative, but a pillar of trust and monetary credibility. Today: Central banks (Asia & Middle East) are stockpiling gold De-dollarisation is accelerating Supply constraints tighten the market (fewer discoveries, higher costs, underinvestment) Geopolitical fragmentation boosts demand for a neutral store of value Trade breakthroughs may soften headlines, but they don't cure structural excess, fiscal fragility, or currency erosion. They reconfigure, not resolve. Why Gold Remains Essential Gold remains essential: a portfolio cornerstone, and a hedge, not just against inflation or conflict, but against systemic dysfunction, volatility, and monetary decline. That's why my forecast stands: $5,000 (R91,935) within 12 months (from 26 Feb 2025). This isn't merely a price call – it's a thesis shaped since March 2021, rooted in macro history, geopolitics, and structural insight. The path to $ 5,000 (R91,935) is open. Who's positioned for it? What's your take on gold's trajectory? Do you see $ 5,000 (R91,935) as realistic or too ambitious? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
