In what was possibly the largest and most talked about single-marque auction ever, RM Sotheby’s pulled off an incredible feat. The Porsche Auction was held at PCNA headquarters in Atlanta this weekend, and there were a few takeaways from the event that made headlines in our minds. First, it’s important to remember that Project Gold is more than a regular 993 Turbo S, it’s a one-of-a-kind factory-built brand new 993 Turbo S with lots of unique visual cues and media attention. Regardless of all that, it’s absolutely mind-blowing that it reached 3.1 million dollars. Second, there are some big moves in value coming for the transaxle cars. With a 924 trading hands for over 50,000 dollars, these cars are finally getting the attention they deserve.
I’m trying something new with the realized prices you see below. Prices falling under their pre-auction estimate will be highlighted in red, while those that exceed their estimate will be highlighted green. Any falling within their estimate range will remain black. Enjoy!
