What better way to kick off the week than a casual Monday evening blast over the Sustenpass with friends? This time, the line-up was something special: a Porsche 981 Boxster Spyder, a Jaguar F-TYPE R AWD Coupé, my own Porsche 996 Carrera, and the star of the evening, a breathtaking Enzianblau Metallic Porsche 992 GT3 MkI.
The license plate of the 992 GT3 Mki used to sit on an Agate Grey Metallic 991 Carrera GTS Cabriolet MkII, which makes this quite the upgrade. The owner picked it up just three months ago with 4,000 km on the clock, and in true “cars are for driving” fashion, he’s already added another 7,000 km. 11,000 km total now, and not a hint of garage queen syndrome.

At around 8 PM, we met at the Sustenpass summit for a quick catch-up before heading down to a photo spot. Unfortunately, both that location and the summit itself were crawling with camper vans, so we turned around and found a quieter corner to line up the cars. From there, the drive took us down to the Steingletscher Hotel, through a series of tunnels where every car, flat-six, supercharged V8, and naturally aspirated magic, turned the rock walls into a rolling concert hall. The echoes were nothing short of glorious.
We couldn’t resist, so after reaching the bottom we flipped it and went over the Sustenpass again. By the time the light faded past 9 PM, we called it a night and headed home, the last glow of the sunset still bouncing off the mountain peaks.
A perfect evening. Cars, mountains, friends, and the sound of pure mechanical music. Already counting down to the next one.
