• This Porsche 911 Carrera GTS is finished in a Paint to Sample shade of Ipanema Blue Metallic.
• The sports car has been fitted with the Aerokit, fixed rear wing and 911 Turbo S alloy wheels.
• Despite having an MSRP of $199,470, the car traded hands for $212,000 after about 7K miles.

It might seem like the only Porsche 911s that gain value instead of losing it the moment they leave the showroom are the ultra-limited editions or track-tuned RS models. Those are the ones collectors chase and enthusiasts rave about.

But a recent sale of a 2023 911 Carrera GTS for more than its original MSRP suggests there’s still strong demand for more standard, less extreme versions of the 911 – if you can call any 911 “standard.”

It’s worth noting that this is no ordinary 911 Carrera GTS, something that’s reflected in its $199,470 original price tag. While it’s possible to spec-out a GTS that is quite subtle, this one is anything but. For starters, it’s finished in a Paint to Sample color of Ipanema Blue Metallic, a hefty $11,430 option.

The car also rocks the rarely-seen $2,030 Aerokit and $1,290 SportDesign side skirts. Due to the fixed rear wing, it could easily be mistaken for a GT3, but in this case it simply looks great. Contrasting the bright paint are black 20- and 21-inch 911 Turbo S wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires and sitting over a set of bright red brake calipers.

The stunning spec continues in the cabin where there is a $4,530 interior package with Carmine Red accents, an electric glass sunroof, matte carbon fiber trimmings, and adaptive 18-way adjustable sport seats. This GTS also sports a $3,980 Burmester audio system and Porsche-branded floor mats.

Bring a Trailer

Evidently, someone really wanted this 911. Despite being over two years old and driven ~7,000 miles (~11,200 km), it sold for $212,000. Despite the reserve on Bring a Trailer not being met, the highest bidder and the seller eventually came to an agreement.

According to one individual who commented on the auction, the same car was listed a year ago through Porsche San Luis Obispo for $229,000, but apparently failed to sell. The one it did go for on BaT isn’t far off from the $222,500 starting price of a 2025 911 GT3.

Of course, actually being able to get one at that price is another story. In fact, many 2023 and 2024 911 GT3s currently won’t go for less than $250,000, perfectly demonstrating just how desirable they are. So, if you can’t afford (or don’t want) a GT3, a nicely specced GTS like this could be a good option.
