Aside from the impressive range of Porsches, this auction offered a diverse selection of items, including bicycles, tractors, furniture, and an assortment of Porsche and non-Porsche automobilia. The sheer breadth of the collection made it an unprecedented event in the world of car auctions.
2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Hypercar
One of the undeniable highlights of the auction was a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder hypercar, equipped with the coveted Weissach performance package. What sets this particular 918 Spyder apart is its one-of-a-kind customizations, which amounted to an astounding $96,000 worth of enhancements from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. From bespoke interior elements to meticulously crafted matte carbon fiber detailing, this vehicle exudes luxury and exclusivity. With a mere 12 miles on the odometer, it’s no wonder that this lot is estimated to command as much as $3 million.
Another standout in The White Collection is a rare gem – a one-of-two Strassenversion RSR variant of the 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera. This unique model, described as one of the most extreme 964-generation 911s ever produced by the factory, is expected to fetch a staggering $2.5 million at auction.
1973 Carrera RS
Collectors and enthusiasts were also captivated by a pristine 1973 Carrera RS, configured in the factory’s “lightweight” specification. With only 200 units ever manufactured, and an even smaller number delivered to the U.S. in this particular specification, this vintage Porsche is anticipated to reach a remarkable $2 million at the auction.
Among the notable lots, the 1997 Porsche 911 GT2 holds a special place. This model is highly coveted among Porsche enthusiasts, as only 194 were ever produced. Remarkably, this specific GT2 features a Glacier White exterior coat, setting it apart from the rest. Just 17 of these vehicles were delivered new to Japan, making it an even more exclusive find.
The White Collection auction at RM Sotheby’s is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Porsche collectors and enthusiasts to acquire some of the most sought-after and unique models in the Porsche lineup.
