- This 911 Turbo S is finished in Sepia Brown, a rare Paint to Sample option.
- The highly equipped car has an MSRP of $279K and bidding hit $305K
- Despite its high bid, the seller’s reserve price prevented the sale from closing.
Of all the colors available for cars, brown is hardly the first choice that comes to mind. But hey, not all browns are created equal. In fact, if you take a second look at this one, you might find yourself thinking, “Okay, that’s not half bad!”
Sure, when it comes to choosing a car color, most people default to silver, black, red, or white, which are the safe, predictable shades that are as thrilling as a trip to the dentist. But sometimes, a little risk pays off.

Despite that, the seller of this 2025 Sepia Brown 911 Turbo S managed to get a bid for $26,000 over MSRP. The German sports car was recently listed for auction through Bring a Trailer with just 142 miles (228 km) on the clock; and we do applaud the original owner for daring to think outside the box, as Sepia Brown is a Paint to Sample option, and, when viewed under the sun, does have quite a strong orange hue to it.
The Porsche also comes equipped with the Heritage Design Package, and its interior is dressed in black leather with the admittedly awesome Pepita cloth inserts on the seats and door panels. While a standard 911 Turbo S carries an MSRP of $214,140, this one clocks in at a hefty $279,020. That’s a price tag you can’t ignore, no matter how you slice it.

Their choice was apparently vindicated as the car attracted plenty of bids, showing there’s strong demand for 911 Turbo S models that break away from the herd. The highest bid topped out at $305,500, but somehow fell short of the seller’s unspecified reserve.
In all likelihood, the seller may list the car up for auction again to try and yield a better result, or change tactics and try to sell it privately. If we were them, we’d probably have taken the $26,000 profit to the bank.
Then again, unless some unknown, very wealthy, distant relative remembers us in their will, we’ll never be able to splurge $300k on a car, so can’t really comprehend how those individuals think, right?
