THE 911 GT3 RS

Porsche developed a reputation early on for their surprising performance from their small displacement rear-engine sports and racing cars. These 'giant killers' could outperform cars with much larger engines by making lighter cars with incredible handling. This combination gave Porsches their truly unique driving characteristics and dedicated following of Porsche enthusiasts.

Since the introduction of the original 901 in 1963, Porsche has produced a line of six-cylinder rear-engine sports cars that could compete with much more powerful cars thanks to their low weight and superior handling. The 911 quickly became an icon of performance and handling and offered a driving experience unlike anything else. The 911 has continuously evolved into a more sophisticated, powerful, and capable driving machine, as well as a reliable and usable car.

Starting with the 2.7 Carrera RS, 'RS' variants of the 911 have become coveted for their track readiness, precision and power. With that original RS, a strong formula was developed, involving a distinctive rear wing and aerodynamic enhancements, a potent engine, a stripped-down interior, large side sill graphics, and, importantly, unparalleled performance. Throughout the succeeding generations of 911s, the 'RS' badge remained reserved for only the most hardcore, purpose-built roadcars in Porsche's portfolio and have become highly coveted by Porsche collectors and Porsche drivers.

The latest, the 991.2 GT3 RS, fits this role well. With a giant rear wing, large intakes and NACA ducts, arresting graphics, and a wide track, the GT3 RS certainly looks the part. The naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine motivates the GT3 RS to 60 in 3 seconds flat- impressive, but this car is about track performance and handling. Along with stiff springs, solid mounts, and many manually adjustable settings to tune the car to suit the task at hand, one of very few roadcars allowed to have these race-derived refinements. Adding to the manual adjustments, trick technology like an electronically locking rear differential and rear wheel steering transform the GT3 RS a formidable track weapon, lapping the Nurburgring in 6:56.4 - faster than the venerable Porsche 918. True to RS form, it delivers unparalleled performance on the track. Alongside the aggressiveness and racing prowess, the GT3 RS is built for the road, offering thrilling performance off the track and relative comfort for daily duties.

Porsche's GT3 RS continues to set the standard for roadworthy cars with uncompromising on-track performance. Through blending analog adjustments with cutting edge technology and purposeful, lightweight sensibilities with modern comfort and drivability, the GT3 RS provides a unique driving experience in many situations.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This 991.2 GT3 RS indicates just 350 miles on the odometer and is essentially like new. The purposeful magnesium, carbon, and aluminum bodywork is painted in GT Silver Metallic, which accentuates the curves and venting of the bodywork well, and the black painted wheels tucked inside the flared arches add to the decidedly modern appearance of this GT3 RS. Of course, the sides are emblazoned with retro 'GT3 RS' graphics in black, harkening back to the original Carrera RS. The interior- Spartan as a modern Porsche can be- is trimmed in black Alcantara and leather with carbon fiber bucket seats. As in all GT3 RS examples, the rear seats of a standard 911 have been removed to save weight and to make room for a roll cage. From the driver's seat, the Alcantara clad steering wheel feels purposeful, with a yellow stripe at 12 o'clock to remind the driver of their steering angle. Behind the wheel, the shifting paddles are large and immediate, allowing the driver to confidently row through the 7-speed PDK transmission on track or during a daily commute.

This GT3 RS is being offered by the original owner in like new condition, complete with its original books and tool kit and is entirely ready for its next owner to enjoy its visceral driving experience.
