White Porsches auction 2023
A collection of 56 Porsches all painted white and amassed by a single owner is now coming up for auction. And – yes, you’re right – almost all of them are out of bounds for mere mortals.
Welcome then, to a snow-white Porsche wonderland filled with millions of dollars worth of exotica. The collection is topped off by what auctioneer RM Sotheby’s calls ‘the crown jewel’ of the entire lot – a ‘Grand Prix’ white Porsche 918 Spyder from 2015.
To get a measure of just how fastidious the single owner was about their Porsches, this particular car features $96k worth of bespoke tailoring. Oh, and the Weissach pack. RM reckons it’ll go for up to $3m.
The gallery was not found!Another delight comes in the form of another Grand Prix white 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Touring from 1973, a rather glorious matching-numbers cars that’s been in single ownership for the best part of 20 years. Yours for around $1.2m.
Another ’73 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight joins the fray ($2m), along with a 1993 911 Carrera RSR 3.8 ($2.5m), and a 911 Turbo S X85 ‘flat nose’, one of just 39 built for the US in 1994. This car – just one of two Grand Prix white cars, is estimated to go for around $2m.

Obviously there are more, including a pair of Porsche tractors, and an entire workshop’s worth of Porsche memorabilia: we’re talking toy cars, skis, furniture, heck, even a teddy bear and a hard hat. Even the auction location is described as a ‘sanctuary’: a “bright, expansive and meticulously crafted” space with high ceilings and reflective floors. Of course it’d look clinical.
“These vehicles, which show high originality and remarkably low mileage, are among the most sought-after Porsche sports cars in the current market,” said RM Sotheby’s global head of auctions, Gord Duff.
The cheapest one there? A 944 S2 Cabrio from 1990 estimated to go for up to $60k. Bargain
