Porsche 996 GT3 Clubsport

This PTS example in Zanzibar Red was produced in December 2002. Even this detail is worth highlighting as the first time it was shown to the public was four months later and the first cars delivered were in the autumn of 2003 as a 2004 model year. The exterior is gorgeous in its bright orange color and is contrasted by its silver rims. But the biggest differences are found on the inside. Once in the shell seats, you are surrounded by leather and carbon fiber. Something that is quite unusual in a ClubSport specified car like this. Leather runs over most things that are not carbon fiber but the big surprise is the details. Like the sewn-in speakers with embossed Porsche text or the fan grille which is also covered in leather. The center console is clad in carbon fiber and houses the gear selector which is your first hint of how special the powertrain is. Short precise strokes that feel more at home in a Cup car. A turn of the ignition fires up the engine, which exhales through an original sports exhaust. Once out on the road, the motorsport DNA shines through. Everything from the chassis to the powertrain feels telepathic and raw. The car was of course delivered to Porsche themselves in Zuffenhausen and was not released until 2005. The same year the car arrives in Sweden and has since then had only 2 owners. The odometer is at only 6594mil and continuously maintained authorized. We will probably never get used to special cars, something that becomes obvious when we get the pleasure of becoming part of history on cars like this.
