Truckload of Porsche 911 GT3s for sale
And, yes - the truck's included
Holy moly, would you look at this? We’ve all dreamed of having a car collection so big that it needs a double-decker transporter to ferry them about, and there’s a good chance most PHers would leave a space for at least one Porsche 911. Now imagine filling the whole thing with some of Stuttgart’s latest and greatest flat-six'd phenomenons. Not that you need to, because someone’s already done it - and the result is extraordinary.
This is the ‘Toys for boys collection’, comprising almost every iteration of GT3 Porsche released during the 991 generation (the only mission example being the 991.1 GT3, GT3 RS and a handful of race cars), neatly contained on the back of a six-car transporter. It’s the brainchild of Austrian architect Alexander Serda, who wanted to make a grown-up version of a wooden Porsche transporter toy he owned. The lucky so and so. The plan was to take to the Festival of Speed in 2018 for Porsche's 70th anniversary and to make people like us exceptionally jealous, though sadly logistical issues meant that never happened and it instead spent five years stuck in storage. Now he’s looking to get rid of it, and the whole lot’s up for grabs in one mega sale.
Let’s unpack. The big hitter of the group has to be the 911 R, the only way to sample the 4.0-litre flat-six from a 991 GT3 RS with a manual gearbox at the time and the car that kickstarted the spoilerless GT3 thing (more on that in a little bit). Needless to say, these have changed hands for huge money ever since all 991 examples sold out, but this one will likely command even more as the seller claims the interior has “never been touched”. How the previous owner resisted is beyond us (though, let’s face it, it’s probably got something to do with resale values). Optional upgrades include carbon wing mirrors and the sought-after lightweight clutch and flywheel. Perfection.
For occasions that require something with a bit more wing, there’s a Racing Yellow 991.2 GT3 RS Clubsport. This one comes with the Weissach Pack, bringing the carbon fibre bonnet and magnesium wheels, while the Clubsport upgrades include a roll cage, fire extinguisher and seat harnesses. Carbon ceramic brakes have also been specced, as they have on all the road cars in the sale, and they should feel brand-spanking-new because, again like the others, this GT3 is both unused and unregistered. We’re happy to help out with the former if someone sorts out the latter.
Two cars down, another four to go. And so to a pair of GT3s: a standard model avec wing and a Touring without one. The seller claims the Guards Red GT3 might be “the lightest spec possible”, featuring the Clubsport pack, ceramic brakes, 918 Spyder-style carbon bucket seats, the deletion of the infotainment system and, above all, a six-speed manual (which is a touch lighter than the PDK). The air conditioning has been retained, mind, but it’s absolutely a price worth paying for a marginal weight penalty that you probably won’t notice. Once again, it’s unused and unregistered.
Onto the GT3 Touring and, in a sea of colour and giant wings, it’s by far the most understated of the lot. Gloss black bodywork with silver wheels means this Touring flies under the radar (though the sound of a 4.0-litre flat-six screaming to 9,000rpm may give the game away). The interior’s the best bit, though, ditching Alcantara (sorry, RaceTex) for good old-fashioned leather, which covers everything from the dash to the steering wheel. It still gets the 918 carbon bucket seats, though the Sports pedals finished in silver are a really nice touch on what is a very subtle yet tastefully specced Touring.
Lastly, there are a pair of racing cars: a 991.2 GT3 Cup car and a 991.1 GT3 R. What’s remarkable about these two is that neither has been raced, nor have they rubbed shoulders with stripped out MX-5s and endless Clio 182s on a track day. So fresh are the racers that the Cup car still wears its protective transport stickers, and this has to be one of the only original GT3 Rs left in naked carbon fibre. You won’t find fresher examples of either outside of a museum, and even they’ll likely have more miles on the clock than these.
One more thing, in the words of Steve Jobs. It’ll be a right faff moving all six cars in one go, and if you’re planning on maintaining the unused and unregisteredness of each car (and we really hope that’s not the case), then you’ll need something to transport them in. Good job a Man TGX lorry with a six-car Rolfo trailer is included in the sale. Obviously you’ll need an HGV licence to drive it - and hauling a bunch of 911s sounds like as good an excuse as any to get one - though there’s a very good chance the buyer will have deep enough pockets to hire someone to do it for you while you drive alongside basking in one of the most magnificent collections of modern Porsches there is.
Just how deep will your pockets need to be to bag all of this? The seller wants what will probably be quite a lengthy phone call with potential buyers first before revealing a figure, but tally up the individual cost of everything here and plainly you’re looking at a seven-figure sum. For reference, a delivery-mile 911 R sold for $1,100,000 (that’s £860,000) at auction earlier this month - and that’s just one of the six (seven with the truck) vehicles on this list. Of course, you could build a similar collection for less, though it’s the box freshness of each car that makes this sensational sale that little bit more special.
“So, I’d like to buy the collection, how much are you wanting for it?”
The reply, after a lengthy sucking of teeth, would probably be something like “Well how much do YOU think it’s worth?” (and the price will probably be at least double what I reasonably suggest).
Having said that, the old adage ‘of you have to ask…’ probably applies!
Happy 2024 everyone, and if you are the lucky new owner, let’s hope you share the ownership experience, literary or otherwise, with us mere mortals…
s off PHers, this is it 
Lovely group of cars all the same though.
It's so moronic though. Buy 6 of the best drivers cars in the world.
Proceed not to drive any of them, ever.
I assume this is but of small part of his overall collection. Atleast I hope it is.
Remember there’s a world in which Porsche etc insist you buy lots of cars to get the biggest cars that collectors really want. Often goes to explain sales of Taycans and Ferrari Lussos etc etc
You’d have to be a hardcore Porsche fanboy to buy this.
A serious Porsche guy would presumably already own 1/2/3 of these cars already so wouldn't want to duplicate what he already has.
