Grosse Pointe, Michigan, April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, has released the\u00a0complete digital catalog<\/a> for its second annual Porsche Auction, set for April 26, 2025, in partnership with the Air|Water happening at the Orange County Fairgrounds. The catalog counts 55 Porsche collector cars alongside 20 lots of hard-to-find Porsche memorabilia and one half-scale Dakar Junior child\u2019s car. The Air|Water Auction presents Porsche enthusiasts with the opportunity to bring home supremely collectible Porsche examples worthy of any serious collection, with final featured entries led by rare and desirable modern open-top Porsche performance cars, including a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Martini Racing (Estimate: $2,700,000 – $3,000,000).<\/b><\/p>\n

The Porsche 918 is a technical tour de force, following in the footsteps of the 959 and Carrera GT before it, yet equally as capable of 30 mph all-electric urban travel as it is of 200 mph track performance. Just 918 Spyders were produced between September 2013 and June 2015, and the car\u2019s performance stats remain astonishing today. Its mid-mounted 4.6-liter dry sump V8, paired with two electric motors\u2014one for each axle\u2014delivers a combined output of 887 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 944 lb-ft of torque in seventh gear. Power is sent through a lightning-fast seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. The optional $84,000 Weissach Package trimmed 90 pounds off the weight by incorporating magnesium wheels, titanium bolts, lighter brakes, and carbon fiber aerodynamic upgrades. As a result, the sprint to 60 mph dropped to just 2.5 seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The car on offer at Broad Arrow\u2019s Porsche Air|Water Auction, limitation number 441, is finished in the classic Porsche racing color of White and is one of only 15 918 Spyders delivered to the U.S. with the highly-desirable Martini Racing graphics package\u2014an homage to Martini\u2019s world-famous title sponsorship of factory Porsche race cars throughout the 1970s and 80s. Also equipped with the desirable Weissach Package, no. 441 has covered fewer than 1,900 miles since new and has been meticulously serviced at Porsche and supercar specialists throughout its life. Offered with its original factory car cover, owner\u2019s manual, and Porsche-supplied build sheet, 918 Spyder number 441 represents a pure opportunity to acquire a supremely collectible example of the record-breaking hypercar.<\/p>\n

Offered alongside the 918 Spyder is an unmodified and beautifully preserved example of its predecessor, a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, number 0541 (Estimate: $1,800,000 – $2,100,000).<\/b> Finished in the ever-popular shade of GT Silver Metallic, the car shows less than 800 original miles and includes several often-missing delivery items, including its complete factory luggage set trimmed in the same Dark Grey leather as the car\u2019s interior, its original books, fitted car cover, tools, centerlock socket, and more. Surely the finest analog supercar of the 2000s, with a naturally aspirated V10, manual transmission, and minimal electronic intervention, this superb example of the Carrera GT offers its next caretaker the chance to experience the peak of an unrepeatable era.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to offer the 918 Spyder Weissach as an important milestone in the Porsche marque\u2019s lineage at our Air|Water Auction,\u201d says\u00a0Alexander Weaver<\/b>, Senior Car Specialist and VP of Private Sales for Broad Arrow<\/b>. \u201cWhen you look at the big three hypercars released in 2013\u2014the McLaren P1, the Ferrari LaFerrari, and the Porsche 918\u2014the 918 is the most user-friendly of all. It offers the best usability, drivability, and relatively easy maintenance, along with ample luggage space, and good looks whether the roof is on or off. The example on offer wears the extremely rare Martini Racing livery, setting it even further apart from the pack. The Carrera GT we\u2019re presenting is also exceptional. As a nearly-new car, it boasts an extensive and meticulous service file, rare accessories included and is both a collector-grade and ready-to-use car\u2014whatever you want it to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additional modern open-top Porsches on offer include a 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster (Estimate: $400,000 – $450,000)<\/b>, a highly optioned, Lava Orange example of the final 991-generation model produced and one of just 588 for the U.S. market. Rounding out the group is a near-new 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach<\/b>, offering an impressive specification, extensive options, and the incredible combination of 911 GT3 power in a mid-engine, open-top package (Estimate: $220,000 – $250,000).<\/b><\/p>\n

\n Weaver adds, <\/b>\u201cSince the post-Covid market boom, Porsche values have remained stronger and more constant than nearly any other collectible brand. There are some models, including the 918, that have continued to find room to grow, as we\u2019ve witnessed with the successful sale of multiple examples over the last year. We\u2019re looking forward to presenting more than 50 of the highest quality and most sought-after Porsches on the market to what is perhaps the hobby\u2019s most passionate group of enthusiasts later this month.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additional highlights set for The Porsche Air|Water Auction include some of the Porsche brand\u2019s most iconic and collectible models across decades of production:<\/p>\n
