XZoro Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Porsche announced that the last previous-generation 911 would head to the auction block later this month to help raise money for the United Way Worldwide’s COVID-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund. The final 991-series 911, a Speedster, comes with more than just the car, though. The automaker is offering up a compelling, once-in-a-lifetime package that should be enticing for any Porsche enthusiasts while helping to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. The winning bidder will get more than just the car as Porsche is pairing the 911 Speedster with a bespoke package filled with goodies. That includes a 911 Speedster Heritage Design Chronograph, though that’s not all. The winning bidder, along with one lucky guest, will also get an opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Porsche AG Weissach development headquarters. That personal tour includes “experiencing the test track” with Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser and Andreas Preuninger, heads of the 911 and GT model lines, respectively. Delivery will take place at a dedicated event in the U.S. with Porsche Cars North America President and CEO Klaus Zellmer hosting the handoff of the car. The winner will also get a book that highlights the completion of the last 991. The book will include photographs along with an original sketch by the Speedster design team. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to support the United Way Worldwide’s COVID-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund. RM Sotheby’s is hosting the auction through its Online Only platform, and bidding will be open for one week. There’s no reserve. Bidding opens 11 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday, April 15, and closes Wednesday, April 22, at 1 p.m. Edited April 12, 2020 by -Dark Closed topic / Complete 1 day 2
