Original Article – ‘Bad Boys’ Porsche 911 Turbo Heading To Auction

The actual 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo driven by Will Smith in Bad Boys is going under the hammer at Mecum’s auction, which is scheduled to take place in Kissimmee, Florida early next year.

With 34,396 miles (55,355 kilometres) on the dash, this 911 Turbo previously belonged to Bad Boys director Michael Bay shortly after production wrapped, before later going home with the film’s producer Pat Sandstone, and changing hands a few times in the ensuing years.

Restored to its former glory by New Jersey’s Body Motion circa 2006, the ride in question would eventually return to the spotlight at the premiere of Bad Boys For Life in early 2020, and showcased at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta, Georgia for another eight months that year.

Featuring a sunroof, black leather interior, as well as a quintessentially 90s cassette player, and Speedline aluminium wheels, while the front plate reads 447 DB 75, the rear reads BAD BYS1.
