For several years now, the Porsche market has reflected the profound changes taking place in the classic car world. After several years of steady growth, the market for classic 356s and 911s is experiencing a correction that does not reflect a loss of interest, but rather a generational shift among buyers. Today’s most active collectors—often from a generation that grew up with the Type G, 964, 993, or 996 models—are seeking cars that are more practical and better suited for regular use. Meanwhile, for RS versions and rare specifications, the tension between limited supply and demand from discerning enthusiasts explains why prices continue to rise. In this context, rarity and original condition remain the key criteria for bidders.
The selection we’re presenting this Sunday embodies precisely these values. Seven exceptional Porsches, seven chapters of the same epic story: a 1958 356 A 1600 Super delivered in Paris by Sonauto and restored to concours condition; a 1967 911 2.0 SWB in Bahamas Yellow, fully restored from a bare chassis in Portugal; a 1977 911 Carrera 3.0 in Indian Red with matching numbers, a 1970 914/6 FIA with an active racing history—Le Mans Classic, Tour Auto —, and above all, an authentic 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight, one of only 200 M471 models produced, in its original Grand Prix White. Joining these classics is the 1977 Porsche SK Gr.6, a one-of-a-kind prototype born from the collaboration between driver Wilhelm Schmid and a chassis engineer from Porsche itself, and finally an extremely rare 1986 RUF BTR 3.4—one of those legendary tuned models whose value continues to rise, as evidenced by a new auction record set in 2025 at over six million dollars for the “Yellowbird.”
From the brand’s origins to the golden age of German motorsports, rarely has an auction brought together such a concentration of Porsche history, rarity, and authenticity in a single catalog. Join us this Friday at the Espace Champerret in Paris to discover these seven exceptional Porsches, along with 90 other lots in the auction...
