Werks Reunion Monterey 2025
Monterey Car Week

August 15, 2025

Werks Reunion 2025 landed on Friday, August 15, at Monterey Pines Golf Course, turning fairways by the airport into a Porsche city. PCA billed it as the 11th annual Monterey edition, and the field sold out for entrants: 165 cars in Judged, 575 in the Corral—with spectators filling paths and roughs all day. The format was true to type: judged classes up front, vast model corrals beyond, vendors and club partners ringed around the greens. I worked from color blocks to era groupings as the marine layer burned off, the day reading like a rolling index of Porsche history condensed into eight hours.
Corral arrival came with a small favor: my PCA friends waved me into a freshly opened end spot in the water-cooled 911 corral—perks of knowing the marshals. From there, I started with contrasts: a Harlekin-liveried 993 GT2 swept past; across the fairway, a 911 Club Coupe—PCA’s members-only limited edition—sat on display.
The day’s heartbeat was a black 1977 911 Carrera 3.0 built for PCA club racing, now campaigned in 911CUP. The owner had driven out from New York, Laguna Seca on the schedule for tomorrow. It wore its miles honestly—dash laid out for work, helmet buckled in the passenger seat, track outlines on the quarter window, and “Laguna Seca or Bust” scrawled on the tail. My favorite of the show.
A Carrera GT followed, hand-painted in a livery that reads like brushstrokes in motion. Then the 356s: a patina monster with stories in every panel, balanced by a concours-clean Cabriolet and Speedster. A quick pass through a few one-off 911s, and I finished with the Gunther Werks pair—an orange Turbo and a new GWX Speedster—before circling back to my 992.1 Turbo S, Soul to Squeeze, and hustling out for The Quail.
Werks began in 2014 as a PCA-created, stand-alone Friday show during Monterey Car Week—born from a desire to celebrate the marque and camaraderie without concours nitpicking. The first edition ran at Rancho Cañada Golf Club; the event grew quickly and later settled at Monterey Pines. Its signature mix endures: approachable judged classes plus expansive corrals, club partners, and a crowd that spans purists to first-timers. PCA has since added an East Coast sister show at Amelia Island, but Monterey remains the heartbeat. It’s still about stories over trophies, with fairways turned into a curated, walkable snapshot of Porsche culture.
