In a remarkable fusion of automotive excellence and philanthropy, Porsche Cars North America and RM Sotheby’s auctioned a rare 911 S/T for $1 million, with all proceeds benefiting the American Red Cross. This particular model, number 1,919 out of 1,963 produced, is the only unassigned U.S. example, making it an extraordinary collector’s piece. Finished in Shore Blue Metallic with the Heritage Design Package, it boasts a naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six producing 518 horsepower and 342 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual for an exhilarating driving experience. Unique touches include gold badging and Classic Cognac bucket seats with black pinstriped cloth inserts.  

The auction was driven by a crucial cause—supporting relief efforts for the devastating CA wildfires, displacing thousands and destroying communities. The American Red Cross has been instrumental in providing emergency shelter, meals, and essential supplies to those affected. With the generous donation from this auction, additional resources can be directed toward disaster response across the nation.  

Beyond its rarity, this 911 S/T carries a deeper significance as a symbol of generosity and what a gesture by Porsche and RM Sotheby. The 911 S/T, already a pinnacle of Porsche engineering, is now a catalyst for good. Its Shore Blue Metallic finish, understated yet timeless, perfectly embodies Porsche’s design philosophy, blending heritage with exclusivity. It’s heartening to see Porsche step up in a meaningful way, using its platform to aid a community in need. Bravo, Porsche and RM Sotheby’s powerful act of giving.
