Proceeds from the final 991 Porsche 911, which is a Speedster, will go to affected patients and people in need
An auction by RM Sotheby’s, a classic car auction company, turned out to be of historical importance as the last unit of the Porsche 911 991 was sold. The final production unit was a 911 Speedster launched from Porsche’s Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen in Germany. Due to its importance, a total of 32 offers were disputed over a period of one week.
And finally, it was sold for a massive sum of USD 5,00,000 (Rs. 3.81 crore approximately). However, the money goes for a good cause, as it will be donated to the United Way Worldwide fund to help patients in the United States as part of the recovery phase in communities. To extend the hands of support, the North American division of Porsche has also revealed that it matches the winning bid.
Thus, a total fund of USD 1 million (Rs. 7.62 crore) was raised, which will go to health services and food banks, among other operations through the United Way, to help affected people. Back in the Porsche 911 Speedster, it will be greeted by the winning bidder at a special event scheduled by Zellmer. It will also be treated with a unique tour at Porsche headquarters in Weissach, Germany.
The biggest winner will be able to see Porsche’s engineering and design facilities there, as he will be the esteemed guest of Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, 911 Division Chief, and Andreas Preuninger, who is the leader of the GT model line. . The owner of the final Porsche 911 991 will also receive a custom Porsche Design watch with the chassis number of the 911 Speedster on its case.
You will also receive a book illustrating the construction of the final 991 with an original sketch by the Speedster design team and exclusive photographs. Finished in GT Silver Metallic shade, the 911 Speedster has covered just 20 miles of delivery and is powered by a naturally aspirated, 502-horsepower 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine.
It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The 911 Speedster features the Heritage Design Package, one of the many customization packages available for the model, and includes the ability to choose your preferred license plate numbers.
