Broad Arrow Air|Water Porsche Auction Preview

The 2026 Air|Water auction is days away, and the catalog from Broad Arrow Auctions is one of the most compelling Porsche-only sales in recent memory. On Saturday, April 25, 2026, bidders will gather at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California, for the exclusive Broad Arrow Porsche auction that anchors the Air|Water event.

Broad Arrow returns as the official auction partner of Air|Water for the third consecutive year. The 2026 catalog features 60 Porsches ranging from a 1957 356 A Speedster to a 2025 911, along with a curated selection of Porsche memorabilia. The first lot set to cross the block is a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, but following that lot, it’s all Porsche for the rest of the day. Gates open to the public at 9:00 AM and bidding begins at 11:00 AM Pacific Time.

Estimate: $4,500,000 – $5,500,000

The crown jewel of the 2026 Air|Water auction is a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach Package – and not just any 918.

This is the only Paint to Sample Riviera Blue 918 Spyder with Weissach Package delivered to North America, and the only example on the continent wearing a Black interior with Silver piping. Chassis number 048, it is a one-of-one specification in every meaningful sense.

The Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the “holy trinity” of hybrid hypercars, alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. Its 4.6L naturally aspirated V8 pairs with two electric motors for a combined 887 horsepower and 944 lb-ft of torque. The result: 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 211 mph.

The Weissach Package – originally priced at $84,000 – shaves 90 pounds through magnesium wheels, carbon fiber bodywork, and titanium fasteners. It was this specification that enabled the factory 918 to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6 minutes and 57 seconds in 2013, becoming the first street-legal production car to break the seven-minute barrier.

Additional options on this car include Front Axle Lift, Seat Belts with Accent Stripes in Silver, Carbon Floor Mats with Silver Piping, a Burmester High-End Surround Sound System, and over $7,000 in Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur CXX Custom Tailoring.

The car shows only 1,267 miles and received a major service at Porsche Woodland Hills in February 2026. Recent Porsche 918 Spyder auction results demonstrate the market’s appetite: a Guards Red Weissach example brought $3.2 million in early 2026, and a unique PTS Pure Orange example fetched $2.9 million in mid-2025. A one-of-one PTS Riviera Blue example – the only one delivered to North America – sits in a category all its own.

Estimate: $700,000 – $800,000

The RUF Rt12 is one of the rarest and most sought-after Porsche-based collector cars ever produced. Based on the Porsche 997 Turbo and transformed with bespoke bodywork – including RUF’s signature rear-quarter air tunnels – fewer than 15 examples were built during the model’s production run.

Power comes from a 3.8L twin-turbocharged flat-six producing 650 horsepower, channeled through a six-speed manual transaxle and an all-wheel-drive system. That translates to 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 219 mph – performance that rivaled the Ferrari Enzo and Porsche Carrera GT when new.

The 2007 example offered at the Broad Arrow Porsche auction features a color combination believed to be unique among all Rt12s produced, adding another layer of rarity to an already extraordinary machine. With RUF Rt12 values ranging from roughly $450,000 to over $900,000 depending on specification and provenance, the $700,000-$800,000 estimate positions this particular car as a serious collector opportunity.

Estimate: $1,900,000 – $2,300,000

If the Rt12 represents RUF’s most extreme expression within the Porsche ecosystem, the RUF SCR marks the company’s declaration of independence – and its most significant achievement to date.

The SCR is built on a fully independent RUF carbon-fiber monocoque chassis with an integrated steel roll cage, making it the first car designed and engineered entirely by RUF rather than based on a Porsche platform. Just 70 examples will ever be produced.

A naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six generates 510 horsepower at 8,270 rpm, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. In a car weighing just 1,250 kilograms, the result is a 0-62 mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 199 mph.

The example offered here – chassis 06025 – was delivered in March 2025 and shows just 217 miles. It wears a Paint to Sample Türkisblau (Turkish Blue) finish with matte Titanium Grey center-lock wheels and Guards Red brake calipers. The interior features Black Nappa leather, carbon-fiber trim, and distinctive Kevlar-carbon “Lollipop” seats with houndstooth inserts.
