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 road cars in Porsche's portfolio and have become highly coveted by Porsche collectors and Porsche drivers.

The 997.1 GT3 RS, fits this role extremely well, often considered as being one of the best Porsche wearing the RS prefix. With a large rear wing, large intakes, 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 about 4 seconds, but the car specifically shines through it 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 road cars allowed to have these race-derived refinements. Through these manual adjustments and playful 6-speed mechanical gearbox, the GT3 RS forms a formidable track weapon, and canyon carver. True to RS form, it delivers unparalleled performance on and off the track, even 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

Finished in Signal Green over full black leather, this 997.1 GT3RS was sold back in 2008 for a sticker price just over $155,000 at Porsche of Orlando Maitland, FL and was then taken to California where it got purchased by its late owner. Now showing just over 6,000 miles at the odometer, the car was kept garaged on trickle-charger save for when it was being enthusiastically enjoyed. Overall, the car shows very nicely and advocates for its great preservation. As seen on the pictures, it is to be noted that the plastic front spoiler lip is currently broken and will most likely impose a replacement to restore the car's pretty face.

The car is ready for a new home. Most-likely sparingly used over the past few months, the car could use some mechanical check before planning on long trips with it.
