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.

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.

W09BT0348KPR06023, to lead its second annual Porsche Auction in partnership with Air|Water. Set for April 26 at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, California, the single-day auction held within the Air|Water event will once again feature more than 50 desirable Porsches along with a selection of coveted Porsche memorabilia pieces. The importance of the original RUF CTR cannot be understated—it remains the benchmark for the entire brand, the reference performance car of its generation, and a rare classic for a new generation of collectors. The example Broad Arrow has the pleasure of presenting at the Porsche Air|Water auction is one of only 29 W09 Group C Turbo Ruf (CTR) Yellowbirds built and is known to be the only Yellowbird specified with a special lightweight interior. A fully matching-numbers example, it is also Factory authenticated by its RUF Zertifikat in 2016. Equipped with a 3.4-liter twin-turbo flat six with a RUF six-speed manual transmission producing 469 horsepower and capable of a 213-mph top speed, it was the fastest production car at the time. This is truly an exceptional example of RUF's record-breaking supercar made world-famous at the Nürburgring by test driver Stefan Roser. The CTR Yellowbird is estimated to bring $4,500,000 to $5,500,000 later this month. Alexander Weaver, Senior Car Specialist and VP of Private Sales for Broad Arrow states, 'The Ruf CTR represents the pinnacle of all rear-engine supercars and is the ultimate design evolution of the model. These low-production examples are without question one of the most sought-after supercars of our time and continue to gain ground in both their value as well as collectability, especially against their contemporary competitors.' Weaver goes on to say, 'The upcoming Air|Water auction is comprised of a terrific offering of Porsche models and in addition to the RUF, cars like the 1990 911 Reimagined by Singer, 1966 Carrera 6 and Turbo 3.6 X88 bring together highlights from all eras and facets of the brand. The auction, coupled with the already sold-out Saturday show, will be a highlight on the Porsche calendar for 2025, and we look forward to welcoming clients from around the world for what will surely be an exciting and unrepeatable weekend.' Additional highlights for the Porsche Air|Water auction feature a series of sought-after Porsche performance and racing icons. The group includes: 1966 Porsche 906 (Estimate: $1,600,000 - $1,900,000), chassis no. 906-140, an excellent example of the streamlined, prototype sports racer that captured an overall victory at the 1966 Targa Florio and signaled the dawn of a new golden age of endurance racing. This particular car is offered in largely unrestored condition, retaining numerous as-built details. It is fitted with a replacement magnesium-case Type 910 flat-six and its original serialized racing gearbox. It is finished in blue livery as campaigned by sports car dealer and racing driver Monte Shelton in the late 1960s. 1990 Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer (Estimate: $1,050,000 - $1,250,000), chassis no. WP0AB2961LS451139, known as the 'Central Florida' commission. This exceptionally specified 911 is finished in Singer Racing White—a color that pays tribute to some of Porsche's earliest models—and is well-equipped to offer vastly improved performance. It is powered by the 4.0-liter Ed Pink-built air-cooled flat-six engine and boasts an Öhlins 2-Way sport adjustable suspension, and premium Brembo brakes with carbon ceramic rotors. Well-optioned with multiple Special Wishes items, it is the perfect harmony of mechanical excellence and timeless design and has covered less than 2,300 miles since Reimagining. 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 X88 (Estimate: $530,000 - $560,000), chassis no. WP0ZZZ96ZRS470400, one of the most desirable of the so-called Porsche Works Performance 'package cars'. This car is one of only 64 examples of the X88 Works Performance Package produced for the 1994 911 Turbo 3.6. It features an enhanced M64/50 air-cooled flat-six producing 385 horsepower and the rare X92 front lip spoiler typically reserved for the exclusive Turbo S X88. Finished in striking Paint-to-Sample non-metallic 'Ferrari Yellow' over a Black leather interior, it is offered with only 52,848 km recorded at cataloging and following a recent extensive engine and suspension service. 2012 RUF Rt 12 S (Estimate: $600,000 - $700,000), chassis no. W09BD0384CPR06148. The Rt 12 was produced in exceptionally limited numbers, with each car custom-built to its owner's specifications. Given its rare configuration, well-documented service history, and recent maintenance by R-Strada, this final model year Rt 12 S stands as one of the most coveted RUF automobiles available, especially considering its factory-fitted R-specification 730 horsepower engine and 200+ mph performance.

Low-Mileage 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo to Cross Block at Air
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious A well-preserved 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo, showcasing less than 38,000 original miles, will be offered without reserve at the upcoming Porsche Air|Water Auction, with an estimated value of $50,000 to $70,000. Finished in non-metallic Black over a Black partial leather interior, the 944 Turbo represents one of the best examples of Porsche's transaxle-era sports cars. Fitted with the desirable Touring Package and factory 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, this particular model stands out for both its originality and low mileage. Introduced in 1986, the 944 Turbo offered a substantial performance upgrade over its naturally aspirated siblings. Its 2.5-liter turbocharged and intercooled inline-four engine produced 220 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque—impressive figures at the time. Coupled with a five-speed manual transaxle, the rear-wheel-drive coupe delivered exceptional balance and agility. At launch, it accelerated from zero to 60 mph in under six seconds, with a top speed exceeding 160 mph. Originally delivered to Y.B.H. Sales & Service of Edgemont, Pennsylvania, the car was ordered new for $33,597. The Touring Package included a rear wiper, electric sunroof, cruise control, and a factory alarm system. Inside, it retains the period-correct Blaupunkt Monterey SQR 23 stereo and original upholstery. According to the accompanying CARFAX report, the car moved from Pennsylvania to Illinois and later to South Carolina, where it was maintained by Peacock Automotive. A final round of servicing by Flat Edge Autoworks was performed in March 2025 to prepare it for auction. Now offered with its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, original window sticker, manuals, tools, and accessories, this 944 Turbo is expected to draw strong interest from collectors seeking an unmolested example of Porsche's turbocharged 1980s icon.

1996 Porsche 911 Turbo With Long-Term Ownership At Broad Arrow Auction
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious A meticulously maintained 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo, held in single ownership for nearly three decades, is set to cross the auction block at the Porsche Air|Water Auction in 2025 with an estimated value between $255,000 and $275,000. Widely regarded as the pinnacle of Porsche's air-cooled era, the 993-generation 911 Turbo features a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine delivering 400 horsepower to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds, the 993 Turbo was hailed by Car and Driver as 'the planet's most eminently practical supercar.' This particular example, chassis number WP0AC2997TS376003, was originally finished in Polar Silver Metallic over a striking Rubicon supple leather interior. Among its distinctive features is a rarely seen Porsche Exclusive option—a center console-integrated cellular telephone, a $3,134 addition at the time. Other factory upgrades include a remote trunk-mounted CD changer, Digital Sound Package, driver's-side lumbar support, and custom Porsche-branded floor mats. Delivered new by Southpointe Motorcars (now Suncoast Porsche) in Florida, the car remained with its original owner from 1996 until 2024, undergoing an impressive 51 documented service visits at the same dealership. The vehicle was acquired by its second owner in early 2024 with 31,154 miles and has since covered just 16 additional miles. The auction listing confirms the 911 Turbo remains in completely stock condition, offered with a complete set of original books, tools, service records, and a photocopy of its window sticker. With its extensive maintenance history and rare factory options, this well-preserved example stands as a true collector's item from the final generation of Porsche's air-cooled turbocharged era.
