      A low-mileage 2019 Porsche 911 GT2 RS in Albert Blue might sell for $1.2 million.

      The collection also features one of only 13 Porsche 968 Turbo S models ever created.

      Additionally, two classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles in blue are being auctioned.

      RM Sotheby's is handling the sale of a range of coveted cars from Todd Blue’s collection, who is the owner of LAPIS Automotive and has run several exotic car dealerships across the U.S. Notably, Todd Blue has a preference for blue cars, and all nine vehicles he is auctioning are painted in various shades of blue.

      The most valuable car in the collection is a 2019 Porsche 911 GT2 RS with the optional Weissach package, anticipated to sell for between $800,000 and $1.2 million, featuring $252,000 worth of custom options from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.

      Noteworthy is its Albert Blue paint paired with staggered wheels. The interior features Yachting Blue leather with Graphite Madraskaro plaid seat inserts and Silver Grey seatbelts. Its appeal is heightened by the fact that it has only been driven 526 miles (846 km).

      Another remarkable car in the collection is a 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8, finished in Riviera Blue, and one of only 1,104 produced. It has 8,725 miles (14,041 km) on the clock and may sell for up to $950,000. The collection also has a 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic, painted in Manaus Blue with color-matched wheels, boasting over $111,000 worth of options. RM Sotheby’s indicates that it has been driven just 1,177 miles (1,894 km) and could fetch between $500,000 and $650,000.

      Also available is a 1994 Porsche 968 Turbo S in Midnight Blue Metallic, one of just 13 ever made. This low-mileage gem might sell for as much as $750,000—an attractive choice for fans of rare and distinctive Porsches.

      Furthermore, the collection includes two classic Mercedes-Benz models. The first, a 1970 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet, is expected to reach between $350,000 and $450,000. The second, a 1988 560 SL, is thought to be priced more moderately at around $85,000.

      With its blend of rare Porsches and classic Mercedes vehicles, this collection is sure to draw significant interest. You can explore it further right here.
