31 August, 2018 | A royal exhibition, the classic Golden Yellow Porsche and Richard Branson’s R100 000 per night game reserve in South Africa. All this and Nicole Kidman’s St Petersburg OMEGA appearance in this week in luxury.
70 years of Porsche sports cars
The German high-performance automobile manufacturer is building a classic 933-generation 911 Turbo to celebrate its world premiere at the upcoming Porsche Rennsport Reunion VI. It is often referred to as the best and most desirable of the 911 series. The collector’s item made from genuine parts is a combination of beauty and performance. The Golden Yellow classic sports car is set to be auctioned off by RM Sotheby’s in late October.
