FYI: A rare collection of 56 meticulously curated white Porsches is set to go under the hammer this December, showcasing models estimated to fetch up to $3 million.
Decade-long Porsche Collection Heads to Auction
A unique assembly of 56 pristine white Porsches, cultivated over more than a decade, will be auctioned on December 1 and 2. RM Sotheby’s, the renowned auction house, unveiled this standout collection, yet the identity of its enigmatic owner remains under wraps.
The Crown Jewel: 2015 918 Spyder
Among the standout vehicles, the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, adorned in Grand Prix White, stands as the "crown jewel" of the collection. With an estimated auction price between $2.5 million and $3 million, this model is a rare gem. Only 918 units of the 918 Spyder were ever produced, making this a highly coveted piece for collectors.
Highlights of The White Collection
- A 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8, with auction estimates ranging from $2 million to $2.5 million.
- A rare 1997 Porsche 911 GT2, anticipated to sell for between $2 million and $2.2 million.
Auction Details
Hosted by RM Sotheby’s at the collector’s private “Porsche Mecca” in Houston, Texas, the auction will feature cars with starting prices as low as $40,000, although most are expected to hover around the $200,000 mark.
Broader Auction Trends
This Porsche event isn’t the only remarkable auction organized by RM Sotheby’s. Recently, a rusted Ferrari 500 Mondial Spider Series I achieved $1.9 million, though its restoration could cost up to $2 million. The auction house also holds the world record for the most expensive car sold at auction: a 2022 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, which fetched $142.3 million.
Conclusion
RM Sotheby’s has yet to disclose further details or respond to queries. This December auction promises to be a significant event for car enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. The blend of rarity and the immaculate condition of these Porsches makes the "White Collection" a focal point in automotive history.
