He's a savvy boy. My guess is unless he is under fiscal duress he's making the most if a market clearly at its peak. Time will tell if it's a bubble but I can't help think he's being very shrewd. My guess is after fees he will have 20 MM there?

This nice article includes the following about the 5 cars, as well as many great photos:
The quintet of 911 Cup cars sold for $269,259 and are the final five North American-spec GT3 Cup cars imported to North America. Perhaps, more importantly, this is the first time that Porsche Motorsport North America has offered a special limited edition of a race car. Built in recognition of the Brumos Racing's 2011 Rolex Grand-AM GT Championship winning effort, these Porsches replicate the very car used to capture team, driver and manufacturers titles.
Each car was converted by Porsche Motorsport North America to the 4.0 liter, GRAND-AM spec normally aspirated race engine capable 450 hp. A gearbox "blipper" system for speedier downshifts was installed along with a Motec data acquisition system. Brumos further improved the 911 with the addition of a dead pedal, under pedal assembly floorboard and Motec display dash panel all done in carbon fiber.
In addition, Brumos installed polished rear wing uprights, 911 GT3 Cup 4.0 rear deck badges and a chassis plaque with the vehicle name and VIN number.
Lastly, each limited edition Porsche is wearing the Brumos livery of red and blue stripes on Carrera White paint. To protect the finish, Brumos installed a Digishield cover to the front bumper and hood and front debris shield to protect the car during anticipated PCA, SCCA and track-day use.

He has likely reached the point of diminishing returns. No doubt your first Porsche is awesome, your 2nd almost as much so, but your 245th and 246th? You're just looking for room to store at that point.
