The 911 GT3 RS is Porsche’s ultimate intersection of race and road car, conceived to comply with FIA homologation rules for the GT3 class. The type-991.1 generation of the GT3 RS added to the success of the standard GT3 model with various incremental improvements. Distinctive front wing louvers and a larger rear spoiler improved aerodynamics. Wider front and rear tracks, rear-axle steering, and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus combined with a fully variable rear limited-slip differential to increase agility and dynamics.

Perhaps the most compelling upgrade compared to the standard 911 GT3 was the increased displacement of the vaunted flat-six engine from 3.8 to 4.0 litres, resulting in an impressive output of 500 brake horsepower. Much to the die-hard enthusiasts’ chagrin, there was no provision for a manual gearbox; the excellent seven-speed PDK transmission was the only available offering. The interior featured leather-lined carbon-fibre bucket seats with Alcantara inserts and the full Clubsport treatment, with a roll cage, six-point harness for the driver, and a floor-mounted fire extinguisher, among other track-focused equipment.

The example offered here, produced for the German market, appears to be in almost-new condition, showing a mere 137 kilometres on the odometer at the time of cataloguing. Making it even more desirable, the car is finished in Ultraviolet with the unique Le Mans psychedelic “Hippie” livery patterned after the Martini Racing livery of the legendary long-tail 917 racecar that competed in the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Factory options include an extended-range fuel tank, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), the Sound Package Plus, black seatbelts, six-point harness for the passenger, Homelink garage-door opener, belt outlet trim in Alcantara, Porsche Communication Management including navigation module, wheels painted in Satin Black, LED headlights in black with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus, storage compartment lid in Alcantara with Porsche logo, and sun visors in Alcantara.

Acquired by the consignor in June 2016, this 911 GT3 RS 4.0 has formed an integral part of The Carrera Collection and is surely one of the most unique examples of its type to recently come to market.

Please note that as this car is still undergoing registration in Switzerland, the car will move to Reiden immediately following the sale in order to complete this process. As such, there will be a delay to the buyer being able to collect the car of approximately three weeks. There will be no costs incurred to the buyer for this.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass dieses Auto noch in der Schweiz zugelassen werden muss und daher unmittelbar nach dem Verkauf nach Reiden transportiert wird, um diesen Prozess abzuschließen. Deshalb wird es eine Verzögerung von etwa drei Wochen für den Käufer geben, bevor das Auto abgeholt werden kann. Für den Käufer entstehen dadurch keine Kosten.
