The Porsche Type 64 was Ferdinand Porsche's early attempt at a rear-engined sports car.
It will be auctioned through RM Sotheby in mid-August in Monterey, California.

Experts at Hagerty, a company that insures collectible cars, said as the earliest Porsche sports car, and with a direct lineage to today's 911s, it could be worth between $20 million and $25 million.
Until now, the highest price ever paid for a Porsche at auction was $14 million in 2017. That car was a 1970 Porsche 917 race car that was used in the Steve McQueen movie "Le Mans."
