The 911 S/T with a charitable story.
Porsche's philanthropic approach to supporting some of the world's most significant causes is almost as impressive as the sports cars it engineers for the road. Porsche uses itself as a platform for awareness and its most exclusive cars as ways to generate proceeds. Recently announced in partnership with RM Sotheby's, Porsche Cars North America featured a Porsche 911 S/T as part of a special auction event to support American Red Cross disaster relief efforts, including those for the California wildfires.
The rare Porsche 911 S/T found a new home, and in the process, it has made a significant impact. Finished in Shore Blue Metallic and optioned with the Heritage Design Package, chassis #1,919 of 1,963 was auctioned by RM Sotheby's for an impressive $1 million. With all proceeds directed to the American Red Cross, the funds will aid those affected by the devastating wildfires in California and recent flooding in the South.
The anonymous buyer, a known Porsche collector who previously purchased the one-off 911 Sally Special, has once again stepped up to add another incredible example to the fleet. The 911 S/T auction was especially significant as it was the only remaining example in the U.S. without a designated owner. Porsche Cars North America, RM Sotheby's, and even actor Orlando Bloom played a role in assuring the sale's success, with the auction house waiving its fees to maximize the donation.
In addition to the rare 911 S/T, the buyer also received an exclusive 911 S/T Porsche Design Chronograph and a signed owner's manual pouch, making this a truly one-of-a-kind package. Thanks to Porsche and RM Sotheby's, the sale of this legendary 911 will leave a lasting legacy, proving that automotive passion can drive real-world impact.
