Six-Pack of Porsche 911s Is up for Auction

• Here are six Porsche 911 cars up for auction, complete with their own transport trailer.
• Most of the cars are some variant of GT3, and none have more than 31 miles on their odometer.
• Maybe grab five friends and hit up the Nürburgring?

Quick, what comes from Germany in six-packs? If you said “beer” then good guess, but in this case RM Sotheby's is serving up a half-dozen 911s, each of them in as-new condition. Even better, the six cars come with their own Rolfo Aguria transport trailer, towed by a MAN tractor truck. It's like a full size Hot Wheels set, just needing you to call up five friends and supply your own track.

All six 911s are of the 991.2 generation of GT3, with one notable exception—more on that in a bit. You can roll up to the racetrack and choose between a red GT3 with ceramic brakes and no infotainment on board for maximum lightness, or pick the GT3 RS with full Weissach and Clubsport packages, including an extended-range fuel tank (24 gallon) and an onboard fire extinguisher just in case.

Or you could go for one of the two racing-spec machines, one of them a GT3 Cup that's still in its protective delivery film and with just 20 miles on the odometer. The other, a GT3 R, is eligible to be raced in events like the Nürburgring 24 Hours. Both these cars haven't turned a wheel in anger, something that hopefully the next owner will jump on.

Rounding things out are a wingless GT3 Touring, and the sole 991.1 example, an extremely rare 911 R. This has carbon-ceramic brakes and bucket seats with white-and-black-checked Pepita inserts (sometimes mistakenly referred to as houndstooth). Like the racers, it also has fewer than 30 miles on the odometer.

All together, these cars have covered less than 150 miles in total. The 911 R alone is worth more than half a million dollars, so to be able to snap it up as part of a half-dozen 911s will be a bit of a win. RM Sotheby's is selling them as part of its Sealed Drop program, which means it's taking online bids between April 28 and 30.

Apart from the 911 R, where arguably delivery mileage might add to its value to a collector, whoever lands the winning bid for this Porsche six-pack should get these cars out on the road or track and get them moving. Or you could just try them all out and then keep the one that turns out to be your favorite. Are low-mileage 911s cheaper by the (half) dozen? We'll find out when the hammer drops.
