Porsche to auction Porsche 991 Speedster

Speedster's winning bid will be donated to Corona Relief Fund

Porsche 911 Speedster.

that is,The last and last model of the Porsche 991As a model, only 1,948 units were produced worldwide.

The "Speedster (Heritage Package Option, No. 88)" will be put up for auction by Porsche himself this time.

And the amount of the successful bid will be donated to Coronavirus relief in United Way, and it will be used for relief to coronavirus. The so-called charity auction.

For this exhibition, Porsche didn't have to put out a Speedster in the first place, and even if it was just a cash donation of the price at which the Speedster would be sold, it was fine.

However, I feel that Porsche's strong feelings and wishes are felt in the place where Porsche dares to "auction Speedster" as well as paying for it (although it will take some time). ..

Because, as Porsche lovers know,Porsche 911 completes production of this 991 generation Speedster in December 2019 (end)However, with that, the 991 generation Porsche 911 was discontinued.

Hmm, it's sad to remember ... (tears).

Speedster exhibited at RM Sotheby's

So this timeAuctioned at RM Sotheby'sThis Speedster, which was supposed to be produced, was not made by adding a new one after the production was discontinued.

This Porsche Speedster is an individual that the Porsche headquarters itself kept one out of 1,948 for themselves.

It may have been for the Porsche Museum in Germany to be displayed in the future.

* As will be described later, this Speedster may not be in the museum because it may be a car currently in the United States. … So, I will tell you as one of the information currently being said in overseas media ^ ^

The last one for such a precious Porsche, the speedster, the last 991 for Porsche will be put up for auction.

Since the winning bid amount will be donated, the winning bid may exceed 100 million yen (1 million dollars). It is also said to be.

It seems that you haven't gone out to the outside world since it was completed at the Porsche factory, this "Porsche Speedster", 20 miles when you look at the mileage? And I hardly run.

Well, of course, even if Porsche is the owner, this will be treated as a new car ... right? No, one owner? Hmm? (No, I wonder if it's resisted ^^)

Even so, it seems that this car, the distance is displayed in miles, and the person who finally won the bid will be handed over from Mr. Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Porsche North America, so deliver it to the United States It's also likely that it was a Speedster that was (or was) scheduled to be.

… But at this point, I don't know any further details.

Interestingly, this Speedster has a serial number of some of the 1,948 units, but this time it was auctioned, but in the explanation, this serial number is It is not posted.

VIN number postedEven though it has been done. Hmm? This VIN number, up to WP0 is fine (W: Germany, P: Porsche, 0: sports car (or Panamera, etc.), how do you read it after that? Is it a little different from normal?

I tried various things to see if the serial number was in the photo, but all of them are not displayed properly! !!

I think this is just hidden, but ... I wonder if that's the case (I'm just overlooking it, I'm sorry if it's written normally somewhere).

Maybe it's really the last and last speedster in this photo released by Porsche in December 2019.

If so, is that number 1948?

Or, in fact, in order for Porsche to leave this individual in the museum as a history at the end, their speedster has taken serial number 1 ...? ??

I don't know at all, but it's a precious one.

Since it is a charity auction, this speedster can cost a considerable amount of money.

I'm longing for Speedster and I really want to meet him, but I can't really participate in this auction. Eh, why?

No, that's the economic reason! !! !! (Do you all understand ... (laughs))

Anyway, I think that those who want a Speedster and who have the feeling that Porsche is trying to donate this one will win the bid ^ ^

Porsche, that feeling is cool.

I think that this Porsche 911 Speedster has a history of "the last 991 that helped many people" rather than being displayed in the museum as the "last 911".

★ Addition (2020.4.24) ★
The auction result is out! The winning bid is 550,000 dollars, and Porsche will donate about 100 million yen with an additional amount. I also got the serial number ~ ^^
