2018 Porsche 911 GT3 is up for auction

Among the many vintage Porsche models, we came across one of the newer ones with low mileage, the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3. This model was premiered at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013 and was produced until 2019. It is in good condition and the current owner bought it on BaT five months ago. It should be noted that there is currently a lien on the car, and the seller’s lender will need to be paid off before the title can be transferred to the next owner.

The Porsche 911 GT3 is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 500 hp (373 kW) and 339 lb-ft (460 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle with Porsche Torque Vectoring. It is mounted on black-finished 20″ center-lock alloy wheels wrapped in 245/35 front and 305/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

This car is finished in black, and is equipped with LED headlights in black with the Porsche Dynamic Light System along with clear side markers, tinted windows, a rearview camera, LED taillights, red Porsche-branded calipers over cross-drilled and ventilated discs, front -axle lift system, Sport Chrono Package, a GRP center-bypass exhaust system, and Porsche Torque Vectoring.

Inside, heated 18-way adaptive sports seats are trimmed in black leather with sueded inserts and red stitching. Black leather and Alcantara cover the door panels and dash. In front of the driver is a three-spoke steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara behind which is a digital odometer reading 14,458 miles. Additional equipment includes carbon-fiber trim pieces, WeatherTech floor mats, dual-zone automatic climate control, the Light Design package, aluminum pedals, auto-dimming mirrors, Guards Red seatbelts, a Bose sound system, and Porsche Communication Management infotainment.

The car has a clean Carfax report that shows no accidents or other damage. It comes with service records and a clean California title.

The auction ends on November 13 and the highest bid at the time of writing was USD $151,000.

Porsche 911 Hybrid Coming in 2025

Last year, the story started about the first hybrid Porsche 911, which was supposed to arrive on the market this year, but it will not happen. According to the latest information, this model should appear on the market together with the redesigned Series 992 in 2025.

For a long time, Porsche refused to make its most popular model, the 911, fully electric. Nevertheless, they decided to follow the other competitors in terms of slowly abandoning the internal combustion engine, and the first step was the production of the first hybrid 911. The car has so far been tested on snowy roads, but also on one of the most famous racing tracks, the Nürburgring. Spy photos showed that the test prototype has a similar design to previous models.

The front end with large air intakes and vertical slats, additional lights on the sides that should not be part of the final design, narrower arches, a smaller spoiler and centrally placed exhaust pipes are just some of the features of this prototype.

“With a reminder that Porsche already has excellent models that are driven only by electric motors, which will soon be joined by the new generation models of the 718 Series, we absolutely do not see a justified reason for the complete electrification of our icon,” said Michael Steiner, a member of Porsche’s department for development.

When it comes to the powertrain, there is a lot of speculation. Some say it could use a naturally aspirated 4.0L engine like the one in the Cayman GT4. Some say it could have over 650 hp (478 kW). There is a lot of information, but only one is true. Which one? Only Porsche knows that.

1964 Porsche 356C Coupe up for auction

Each Porsche is special in its own way, but when one of the examples of the Stuttgart-based company’s first production car appears on the market, the attention is greater. Such is the case with this 1964 Porsche 356C coupe up for auction.

This Porsche 356C is powered by a Type 616/15 air-cooled 1.6-liter Type 616/15 flat-four engine. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. It sits on chrome 15” wheels wrapped in 165-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires.

The car is finished in black and is in pretty good condition. It is equipped with body-color bumpers with impact strips and chrome overriders as well as protective rocker-panel moldings, a driver’s side mirror, a retractable antenna, pop-out rear windows, twin engine grilles, gold badging, Bilstein shocks, dual Zenith carburetors, and brake discs at all four corners. In 2017, dent repairs were performed and the windshield and rear glass were replaced. In 2021, the engine was overhauled, which included rebuilding the carburetor and replacing the front pulley seal, distributor cap and rotor, generator stand gasket, and sending unit gasket.

Inside, the seats are covered in black leather, which also covers the door panels and the dashboard. In front of the driver is a three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel behind which is a five-digit odometer showing 48,653 miles (total mileage is unknown). Additional equipment includes black carpets, a heater, a glove box, a VDO clock, a Blaupunkt AM/FM/SW push-button radio, rear luggage straps, sun visors, door pockets, and Coco floor mats.

The car comes with a tool kit, a Kardex report, service records, and a clean Oregon title.

The auction ends on October 20 and the highest bid at the time of writing is $46,000 USD.
