A unique opportunity has arisen for Porsche enthusiasts and philanthropists alike. Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) has announced it will auction a rare 911 S/T in partnership with RM Sotheby’s, with all proceeds benefiting the American Red Cross and their vital work in the United States, particularly those affected by the recent California wildfires. This is not just a chance to own an exceptional Porsche; it’s a chance to make a real difference.
This particular 911 S/T is number 1,919 of only 1,963 vehicles created to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911. It holds the distinction of being the only 911 S/T to be sold from PCNA’s internal vehicle pool and the last example in the United States not yet assigned to a customer. The auction will be conducted via RM Sotheby’s Online Only platform, with RM Sotheby’s generously waiving their fees to maximize the donation to the American Red Cross. Adding to the star power, actor Orlando Bloom has offered his support to raise awareness of this important sale.
“The work of the American Red Cross has become even more important in the past weeks, during the devastation of many parts of Los Angeles caused by wildfires,” said Timo Resch, President and CEO of PCNA. “We are proud to offer direct support by selling a car that’s truly precious to us that will help fund the work of the American Red Cross, in Los Angeles and across the United States.”
The American Red Cross has been instrumental in providing aid to those affected by the California wildfires, offering shelter, meals, and essential supplies. “We are so grateful for partners like Porsche Cars North America and RM Sotheby’s as we work together to provide relief and hope for communities in the wake of this heartbreaking disaster,” said Anne McKeough, Chief Development Officer at the American Red Cross.
Gord Duff, President of RM Sotheby’s, emphasized the importance of this collaboration. “The wildfires in California have destroyed countless communities, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to make a real impact in helping those affected,” he said. “Porsche Cars North America, Orlando Bloom, the American Red Cross, and RM Sotheby’s have come together for a truly meaningful cause—offering one of the most desirable modern Porsches to benefit wildfire relief.”
The winning bidder will receive not only this exceptional 911 S/T but also a unique Porsche Design timepiece, custom-tailored to the car and engraved with its chassis number. “Porsche Design is proud to support the American Red Cross… by contributing a matching Chronograph 1 – 911 S/T to the auction,” commented Stefan Buescher, CEO of the Porsche Lifestyle Group. Adding to the exclusivity, the car will come with an owner’s manual pouch signed by Andreas Preuninger, Director of the GT model line at Porsche.
This 911 S/T, finished in Shore Blue Metallic with the optional Heritage Design Package, boasts a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine producing 518 hp, connected to a six-speed manual gearbox. It has been meticulously run-in and checked by Porsche’s preparation team and has covered only 956 miles. The interior features Full Bucket Seats with cloth centers in Classic Cognac and two-tone semi-aniline leather trim. The car is also equipped with several desirable options, including a front axle lift system, an extended range fuel tank, auto-dimming mirrors, rear Park Assist, and a BOSE Surround Sound audio system.
This 911 S/T is offered without reserve, selling to the highest bidder. Bidding opens on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at rmsothebys.com. The car can be viewed at the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles during business hours.
