Interesting Finds: 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S

For 60 years, the Porsche 911 has set standards, broken records, and stolen the hearts of thousands of sports car enthusiasts. Its latest iteration, which debuted in 2019, is called the 992 series. And one 992 in particular – finished in the uncommon color “Gentian Blue” – was among the many impressive supercars that were sold at no reserve at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Scottsdale Fall Auction.

Featured on the ClassicCars TV YouTube channel is an overview discussing some of the many standout features of the 911. It was powered by a rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six rated at a potent 640 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Those performance credentials meant the car could accelerate to 60 mph in fewer than three seconds. Part of the car’s swiftness was made possible by its Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system – delivering plenty of grip on demand.

Of course, sports cars aren’t just about going fast. They need to handle with confidence and precision. Accordingly, the Porsche on the docket was equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) for maximum agility.

Besides its sheer speed, the 911 Turbo S had a lot else going for it. For starters, take a look at the interior, which is finished in an exclusive “Manufaktur” two-tone leather combination of Chalk and Bordeaux; that arrangement was an $11,110 upgrade. Additional interior options included brushed aluminum trim inlays, special seat belts, a heated GT Sport steering wheel with carbon fiber, a Burmester high-end surround sound audio system, ambient lighting, and even leather-upholstered sun visors.

All said and done, the car had a striking combination of options and extremely strong collector appeal. One lucky high bidder was able to take the car home.

We look forward to seeing what’s up for grabs at the upcoming Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. You can browse the docket in advance to see if anything catches your eye. Whether you plan on bidding to bring home a new ride or not, the event is a must-experience occasion for any automotive enthusiast.
