⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious
Broad Arrow Auctions has announced the final marquee entries for its second annual Porsche Air|Water Auction, taking place April 26 at the Orange County Fairgrounds. The event, held in partnership with the Air|Water Porsche gathering, will feature more than 55 collectible Porsche vehicles and 20 lots of rare memorabilia, offering a high-octane opportunity for marque enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Topping the list is a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach finished in White and adorned with the Martini Racing livery, one of only 15 delivered to the U.S. in that configuration. Estimated to fetch between $2.7 million and $3 million, the plug-in hybrid hypercar—limited to just 918 units worldwide—features a 6.2-liter V8 engine and dual electric motors producing a combined 887 horsepower. Equipped with the $84,000 Weissach Package, chassis No. 441 has fewer than 1,900 miles and is presented with full documentation, including its original build sheet and factory cover.
Joining the 918 is a pristine 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, a benchmark of analog supercars. Numbered 0541 and finished in GT Silver Metallic over Dark Grey leather, this example shows fewer than 800 original miles. Offered with rare delivery items such as its full luggage set, books, and tools, the Carrera GT is expected to bring between $1.8 million and $2.1 million.
'This pairing of the Carrera GT and 918 Spyder offers collectors a unique chance to acquire two of Porsche's most significant open-top performance cars,' said Alexander Weaver, Broad Arrow's Senior Car Specialist and VP of Private Sales. 'Both are exceptionally preserved examples with incredible provenance and minimal mileage.'
Also featured are other open-top highlights, including a Lava Orange 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster (est. $400,000–$450,000) and a near-new 2024 718 Spyder RS Weissach (est. $220,000–$250,000).
Additional notable consignments include a one-owner 1960 Porsche 356 B Super 90 Coupe with just under 50,000 miles, a Paint-to-Sample 1989 911 Speedster, a Japanese-market 1974 911 Carrera MFI Coupe, and a selection of rare water-cooled cars such as an award-winning 1981 928 and a 1986 944 Turbo.
Track-ready customer racers and modern classics round out the catalog, with entries like a 2003 GT3 RS campaigned by Orbit Racing and a 2021 911 GT3 Cup.
The full digital catalog is now live at BroadArrowAuctions.com. Public preview begins April 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT, with the auction set for April 26 at 11 a.m. PT.

This 2007 Porsche Cayman S on Bring a Trailer Could Bring 911 Money
This early Cayman S has low mileage and lots of options. It's got a six-speed manual but also plenty of luxury items. Tasteful aftermarket touches are the icing on this mid-engine cake. In 2005, Porsche decided it would be a good idea to put a lid on the Boxster, and created a simply delightful little sports car in the process: the Cayman. The Boxster was already great, and turning it into a mid-engine coupe freed up some surprising liftback practicality and arguably added a little more style. Certainly such is the case if you pick the right paint color and options, and that's just what we have here. Bring a Trailer This 2007 Cayman S had virtually every box ticked, and it's up for auction on Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos). It's a six-speed manual, and it's finished in sumptuous Forest Green over a tan interior filled with tasteful wood veneer. It has the fairly rare option of Porsche Active Stability Management (PASM), not something you'd be surprised to find in a 911 Carrera S, but unusual for a Cayman. With just 26K miles on the odometer, it's seen light use and appears to be in superior condition. Bring a Trailer In 2007, this car stickered for more than $80,000, or about $125K today. Fully one-quarter of that price was in optional extras, from the Sport Chrono dash-mounted stopwatch to automatic climate control, to navigation, to leather sun visors. The 18-inch wheels are from Gold Motorsport, and they are the crowning touch on a very elegant little sport coupe. Factory wheels are included in the sale. Bring a Trailer When new, the 3.4-liter flat-six was good for 295 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque. Porsche always made sure the 911 put out better numbers, but for mid-engine balance a Cayman offers a wonderful experience. Having a proper clutch pedal and stick shift just makes it that much more rewarding, and PASM adds a little behind-the-scenes magic to the handling. Bring a Trailer The Boxster and the Cayman still live in the 911's shadow somewhat, but the right one can be just as fantastic as its big brother. The original owner of this example dug deep to get the specifications just right, and got all the details perfect—and bidders have responded enthusiastically. The auction ends on June 6.

Drivers compete in the 'Monaco of hill climbing'
Motorsports fans have gathered in Worcestershire to watch races described by organisers as like "Formula 1 up a country lane". The 120th British Hill Climb Championships at Shelsley Walsh, held on Saturday and Sunday, is billed as Europe's "fastest and most spectacular" speed hill climb. The track, near Stourport-on-Severn, claims to be the oldest motorsports venue in the world still staging events on its original course. Encompassing a steep hill with a 329ft (99m) rise, generations of racers have taken on the course since it opened in 1905. More than 200 cars took to the hill over the weekend to compete, some racing at speeds of about 150mph (241km/h) around the 1,000 yd (914m) track. Alex Summers, from Tenbury Wells, the fourth generation of his family to race the course, described it as "hallowed ground". "Some people refer to it as the Monaco of hill climbing," he said. "It's the sensation of speed and it's the fact that Shelsley's a natural amphitheatre, so you've got the ability to see almost the entire hill, pretty much wherever you are." Supporting from the paddocks, his mum Lindsay, who started racing 15 years ago, hit speeds of 143mph (230km/h) on her practice round. She said: "You just get to an age I think, as a woman, where you stop caring what people think and you just [say] 'I'm going to do it, I'm going to have some fun'." After lugging wheels up the track, she described the sport as "definitely not glamorous but a lot of fun". Porsche also put a prototype electric SUV, brought over from Germany and named Cayenne, through its paces on the track and a spokesperson said it was "very fast". Events started at 09:00 BST, with the fastest cars competing in the top 12 run offs. Course record holder Sean Gould was attempting to better his fastest time of 22.37 seconds in a 410kg single-seater, smaller-scale Formula 1-style car . He said hitting the high speed had been "frightening" in hindsight. "You kind of get carried away in the moment," he added. Follow BBC Hereford & Worcester on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.

Ferrari and Toyota are Le Mans favorites – but what about Porsche?
Last year, Porsche arrived at Le Mans as one of the favourites, riding the momentum of a strong start to its WEC campaign. But when it came down to it, the real fight was between Ferrari and Toyota. In 2025, the German manufacturer comes to La Sarthe in a very different situation, after a quiet opening trio of races. What Porsche needs to lean on, if it's to chase what would be a record-extending 20th Le Mans win, is exactly what made it strong in last year's championship run. Advertisement 'Our strengths are consistency and reliability. We didn't have any reliability issues last year during the whole season, and not at Le Mans either, so I think that's a big asset,' explains Kevin Estre. 'We had a lot of problems in year one, but last season was great in terms of reliability. We didn't have any trouble, and the team almost won every race in IMSA, in the U.S.' 'We've shown we have the ability, the talent to win big races, to win championships. I think we ran a great race last year at Le Mans - we were just missing a bit of outright performance.' 'There's strong competition, like we've seen over the last three years, but I feel like this year it's even tighter. 'The newcomers from last year are still learning and improving. You look at the start of the season for BMW, Alpine, and even Peugeot showing up here and there, plus Cadillac arriving with four cars. I think it's going to be a real battle on track.' Porsche remains Porsche #6 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963, #5 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963 #6 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963, #5 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963 Rainier Ehrhardt Rainier Ehrhardt Advertisement With its know-how, experience, and an LMDh prototype that delivered a drivers' title last year, would you count Porsche out? The former winners remain a solid bet for victory, especially when you factor in a Balance of Performance (BoP) unique to the Le Mans circuit, which could very well shake things up. That's what Kevin Estre, who shares the No. 6 car with Laurens Vanthoor and Matt Campbell, is banking on. 'You always have to count on Ferrari and Toyota, that's a given,' the French driver admits. 'Cadillac always has great top speed, they've never quite put it all together, but they're strong. Jota's a great team at Le Mans, we know that. Alpine has had a really solid start to the year, and Peugeot could be in the mix…' 'It's hard to rank the pecking order. I think Ferrari and Toyota are probably still the favourites, and maybe us. They're proven contenders at Le Mans, they've shown it time and again. It's tough to say, but I hope we've improved our package a bit and that we've got the performance needed to fight for the win.' Kevin Estre, Porsche Motorsport Kevin Estre, Porsche Motorsport Rainier Ehrhardt Rainier Ehrhardt Advertisement As Estre rightly points out, the start of the championship almost becomes irrelevant when it comes to Le Mans: 'It's a completely different track compared to the rest: we reach top speeds that are 30 to 40 km/h higher than on other circuits in the championship.' 'There's a new BoP, the track characteristics are different, so it reshuffles the deck. We'll see if we can be as strong as last year over a single lap, and a bit better in the long stints during the race.' 'We've got a new driver with Matt replacing Andre [Lotterer], but the same engineers, the same mechanics — there's no reason why it shouldn't work. We know how to win races, we know how to win championships — we just need to find the performance.' To read more articles visit our website.
