In a sale for the record books, the online auctioneers at ‘Bring a Trailer’ just sold an impressive Porsche Carrera GT with only 250 miles on her for a handsome sum of $2 million in a no-reserve online auction through their service. That makes this beautiful luxury Metallic-Silver Porsche both the most expensive car to sell via a website and the most expensive car ever bought or sold through an online auction. What’s even crazier, is that this is the second time in a month that ‘Bring a Trailer’ has broken their record too! Just two weeks before, they sold a 750 Carrera GT for $1.9 million.
Now, this is the type of vehicle that our old friend the Volkner Mobil, ‘Premium S‘ luxury motorhome was meant to haul!
A Look Inside The Record-Shattering Luxury Supercar
According to BringATrailer, the Porsche’s interior is luxurious to an extreme,
“The cockpit features racing-style XT seats with carbon-fiber and Kevlar shells, and they are trimmed in Terracotta leather with a matching dashboard, center console, door A-pillars, and door caps. The Carrera GT features magnesium, carbon fiber, and aluminum interior trim, and additional equipment includes one-touch power windows, air conditioning, powered and heated side mirrors, and a Porsche Online Pro CD stereo. The high-mounted shifter is topped with a laminated beechwood knob in homage to the balsa units that appeared in Porsche 917 race cars.
The leather-wrapped airbag steering wheel frames a central tachometer with an 8,400-rpm redline, a 235-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer shows 250 miles.”
And just take a look at what’s under the hood of this land-rocket. The seller described the pulsing heart of the Carrera GT.
“The mid-mounted 5.7-liter V10 is liquid-cooled and features dual overhead camshafts on each cylinder bank, titanium connecting rods, dry-sump lubrication, and Bosch Motronic ME7 engine management. It produced 605 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 435 lb-ft of torque at 5,750 rpm when new. A new water pump, engine belts, spark plugs, filters, and a battery were installed in January 2021.”
According to the sticker, this Porsche originally MSRP’d for $448,300. This exact same car had previously sold for $981,500 in 2018 at Amelia Island through Gooding & Co., according to Road&Track and now the owner just DOUBLED their money. It looks like they finally found a car that isn’t a gaping money pit. Who knew owning that a Porsche was an investment strategy?
