Sunday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like someone raided a very serious enthusiast’s fever dream. We’ve got a Weissach-equipped GT3 RS with the Manthey Racing package, a RUF-breathed-on air-cooled 911 Turbo, a race-prepped Ferrari 458, and enough German iron to fill a Nürburgring paddock. None of these have bids yet — auctions are fresh — so if any of these are on your radar, now’s the time to start watching.
2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissach Manthey Racing Package
This is about as close to a street-legal race car as Porsche will sell you in 2026. The GT3 RS is already a borderline-terrifying machine, and the Weissach package sheds weight while the Manthey Racing package adds suspension and aero tuning developed directly from Porsche’s own motorsport program. Zero bids so far, which won’t last long once the auction gets rolling — these don’t come up often and they go hard. Check out the 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissach Manthey package on BaT before the crowd shows up.
RUF-Modified RoW 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo X50
RUF modifications on a 993-generation 911 Turbo is the kind of thing that makes air-cooled collectors go weak in the knees. The X50 power kit was already a significant upgrade from the factory, and when RUF gets involved you’re talking about a car that combines one of Porsche’s greatest eras with genuine tuner pedigree. Rest-of-World spec adds a little mystique to the provenance. Don’t sleep on this RUF-modified 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo X50 — it’s the kind of listing that ages well for sellers and rarely disappoints crowds.
2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S at No Reserve
The Cayenne Turbo S has always been the sleeper pick for people who want genuine supercar performance without the drama of actually owning a supercar. The “at No Reserve” tag is the real hook here — this thing will sell for whatever the market decides, full stop. Mid-2010s Cayenne Turbo S values have been creeping up as these SUVs age into the collector-adjacent sweet spot. Follow the 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S no-reserve auction if you want to see where the market actually lands on these.
2012 Ferrari 458 Challenge
A Ferrari 458 Challenge is not a road car with a sticker kit — it’s a purpose-built factory race machine, built to compete in Ferrari’s one-make Challenge series. That means aero, brakes, and suspension tuned for track use only, which makes ownership a very specific proposition: you need a trailer and a race license, not a garage and a commute. That said, the 458’s naturally aspirated V8 is widely regarded as one of Ferrari’s all-time great engines, and the Challenge version is a high-water mark. Get the full details on this 2012 Ferrari 458 Challenge listing while it’s still early.
Modified 2008 BMW 535xi Sports Wagon 6-Speed at No Reserve
A six-speed manual E61 wagon with all-wheel drive and modifications? That’s a very specific Venn diagram, and the people who live inside it are extremely online and extremely enthusiastic. No reserve means this goes to whoever shows up, and the E60/E61 generation of 5 Series is right at the edge of the appreciation curve. Bid on this no-reserve modified 2008 BMW 535xi Sports Wagon before the wagon faithful arrive en masse.
39k-Mile 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage 6-Speed
Thirty-nine thousand miles on a V8 Vantage is practically new for a car that’s now twenty years old, and the manual gearbox is exactly what Aston purists want. The first-gen V8 Vantage had one of the best shapes of the 2000s and it’s aged beautifully — these are finally getting the recognition they deserve after years of being criminally undervalued. See this low-mileage 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage 6-Speed on Bring a Trailer while it’s still dormant.
RWB-Modified 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe 5-Speed
RAUH-Welt Begriff builds are divisive by design — Nakai-san’s wide-body philosophy is not subtle and it’s not reversible, which makes every RWB car a conversation piece whether you love the look or not. An air-cooled 964 Carrera 2 underneath all that bodywork is a genuine foundation, and the 5-speed manual keeps the driver in the loop. These trade on style and exclusivity as much as anything mechanical. View the RWB-modified 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 auction listing and make up your own mind.
Japanese-Market 2008 Audi RS6 Avant at No Reserve
The C6-generation RS6 Avant is the ultimate expression of the “fast family car” concept — a twin-turbocharged V10 in a wagon that was sold in Japan but never officially in the US, which gives it an import mystique that plays well with the BaT crowd. No reserve on a Japanese-market RS6 Avant is an invitation to get a deal or watch someone else get a deal, either way it’s worth following. Watch this no-reserve Japanese-market 2008 Audi RS6 Avant — it’s exactly the kind of grey-market gem BaT does best.
3k-Mile 2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake Widebody Coupe
Three thousand miles on a Shelby GT500 Super Snake Widebody means someone bought this car and barely touched it, which is simultaneously admirable and slightly heartbreaking for a car that exists to make noise and burn rubber. Super Snake builds have always carried a premium over standard GT500s, and a near-new example with essentially delivery miles is a rare find regardless of where you stand on American muscle. Check out this 3,000-mile 2014 Shelby GT500 Super Snake Widebody before the Mustang faithful wake up and start bidding.
A lot of serious metal dropped on BaT today, and with zero bids across the board everything is still up for grabs. The GT3 RS Weissach and the RUF 911 Turbo are going to draw the biggest crowds, but the RS6 Avant and the V8 Vantage are the kind of quiet gems that reward the people paying attention. Keep your BaT alerts on and your checkbook ready — this week is going to be interesting.
