Somewhat confusingly, the seventh generation of Porsche's perennial 911 sports car was designated 'Type 991', succeeding the Type 997. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011, the Type 991 is only the third all-new platform for the 911 since the original of 1963, the second being the Type 996 of 1999. Its development overseen by Porsche's Chief Designer, Michael Mauer, the Type 991 represented a logical progression from the Type 997 and was slightly larger than its immediate predecessor while retaining the classic 911 look. The most important chassis change was to the wheelbase, which increased in length by 100mm, while a new transaxle enabled the rear wheels to be relocated 76mm rearwards relative to the engine, improving both weight distribution and cornering performance. Transmission options comprised six-speed or seven-speed automated manual gearboxes featuring Porsche's dual-clutch PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) shift.
Porsche's signature 'flat-six' engine was available in three different capacities in the Type 991 (3.4 litres, 3.8 litres, and 4.0 litres) with power outputs ranging from the entry-level Carrera's 345bhp up to the Turbo S's 552 horsepower. Following its established practice, Porsche also offered Cabriolet, Targa, GT3 and GT3 RS variants to cater for all customer demands ranging from soft-top boulevard cruiser to track-day assault weapon. In the case of the GT3 RS, the 4.0-litre engine produced almost 500bhp, which reached the ground via a seven-speed version of Porsche's PDK dual-clutch transmission, while rear-wheel steering, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus and a locking differential helped keep things on the straight and narrow. Porsche claimed a 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 310km/h (193mph).
The GT3 RS was also subtly restyled, gaining louvres atop the front wings and revised air intakes at the rear. Inside the cabin there were full bucket seats similar to those of the 918 Spyder, while the RS also came as standard with the Club Sport Package consisting of a bolt-in roll cage, six-point safety harnesses, fire extinguisher, and preparation for a battery master switch. Weight-saving features included a magnesium roof, thinner polycarbonate rear windows, a polyurethane rear-end panel, and carbon-fibre wings and front/rear bonnets, all of which shaved 15kg (33lb) off the total weight. Only 2,000 examples of the GT3 RS were built.
One of only seven finished in Mexico Blue, this stunning GT3 RS was ordered by an international civil servant in the Netherlands (with order code from there). However, between order and delivery he moved to Switzerland, so the car was delivered new there. The currents, and seconds, owners, father & son, bought the Porsche in 2018. Displaying a total of 39,204 kilometres on the odometer, at the time of the photo shoot, the RS has been maintained by Immocars, a sports car specialist, who sent it to Porsche in Lausanne and Geneva. The car is offered with a Swiss carte grise, the stamped service book, and two keys.

De façon étrange, la septième génération de l'éternelle sportive 911 de Porsche qui succédait à la type 997 était désignée « type 991 ». Dévoilée au Salon de Francfort en septembre 2011, la type 991 est seulement la troisième plate-forme entièrement nouvelle pour la 911 depuis l'originale de 1963, la seconde étant la type 996 de 1999. Dessinée sous la direction du directeur du style de Porsche, Michael Mauer, la type 991 représente une évolution logique du type 997 et était légèrement plus grande que sa devancière immédiate tout en retenant l'apparence classique de la 911. La modification la plus importante du châssis était l'empattement, allongé de 100 mm, avec un nouvel ensemble transaxle qui avait permis de déplacer les roues de 76 mm vers l'arrière par rapport au moteur, améliorant à la fois la distribution des masses et la tenue de route. Les options de transmission proposées étaient des boîtes manuelles à six ou sept rapports, avec le double embrayage PDK de Porsche (Porsche Doppelkupplung), à palettes en option sur cette dernière.
On trouvait trois cylindrées du traditionnel « flat-six » de Porsche sur la type 991 (3,4 litres, 3,8 litres et 4,0 litres) avec des puissances allant de 345 ch sur la Carrera d'entrée de gamme à 552 ch sur la Turbo S. Selon sa pratique habituelle, Porsche la déclinait en versions cabriolet, Targa, GT3 et GT3 RS pour satisfaire les demandes, allant de la décapotable de tourisme au missile de croisière pour circuit. Dans le cas de la GT3 RS, le moteur 4 litres produisait près de 500 ch qui passaient au sol via une version à sept rapports de la transmission PDK de Porsche à double embrayage, tandis que les roues arrière directionnelles, le Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus et le blocage du différentiel maintenaient le tout en ligne droite. Porsche revendiquait un 0 à 100 km/h en 3,4 secondes et une vitesse de pointe de 310 km/h.
La GT3 RS était également subtilement remodelée, recevant des jalousies sur le haut des ailes avant et des entrées d'aire modifiées à l'arrière. Dans l'habitacle, on trouvait des sièges baquets intégraux similaires à ceux de la 918 Spyder, et la RS était également équipée en série du pack Club Sport qui consistait en une cage anti-retournement boulonnée, un harnais de sécurité six points, un extincteur et un prémontage de coupe-batterie. Les éléments de réduction du poids comprenaient un toit en magnésium, des vitres arrière plus fines en polycarbonate, un panneau arrière en polyuréthane et des ailes avant et arrière en fibre de carbone, le tout représentant un gain de 15 kg sur le poids total. Seulement 2 000 exemplaires de la GT3 RS furent construits.
L'un des sept modèles bleu Mexico, cette remarquable GT3 RS a été commandée par un fonctionnaire international aux Pays-Bas (avec un numéro de commande locale). Toujours est-il qu'entre la commande et la livraison, il avait déménagé en Suisse, aussi la voiture y fut-elle livrée. Les actuels et seconds propriétaires, père et fils, ont acheté la Porsche en 2018. Affichant, au moment de la séance photographique, un total de 39 204 kilomètres au compteur, la RS a été entretenue par Immocars, un spécialiste des voitures de sport qui l'emmenait chez Porsche à Lausanne et Genève. La voiture est vendue avec une carte grise suisse, le carnet d'entretien tamponné et deux clés.
