EXTERIOR
This is a spectacular example of Porsche’s much sought-after 4-litre GT3 RS, presented in the traditional Carrara White with a grey stripe and red outline running down the centre of the roof and carbon fibre bonnet. The paintwork remains in showroom condition and is completely original from factory: protected and enhanced by full body PPF.
Door mirrors are grey with red inserts alongside the ‘RS 4. 0’ legend scrawled in red at the bottom of each door. With a purposeful stance and a steeply-inclined rear spoiler emblazoned with the Porsche name the aesthetic is pure race car for the road.
Porsche’s optional electro pneumatic lift system is fitted to the front axle to increase everyday usability.
INTERIOR
Although bearing more than a passing resemblance to the Cup variant with a roll cage, this interior offers all modern day-to-day considerations. The generous application of black leather is broken up with red alcantara seat inserts, arm rests and belts as well as top dead centre of the wheel and gear knob which all sets off the interior spectacularly well to colour code with the exterior. With minimal mileage covered the cabin presents beautifully throughout.
The extensive option list includes the carbon backed folding bucket seats, extended stitched leather on the dashboard and door tops along with alcantara on the lower dash. Front Lift and PCM offer more day-to-day usability,
The driving position is absolutely spot on with the carbon backed folding bucket seats combining sublime levels of comfort with excellent road holding.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
There’s no two ways about it – the GT3 RS’s 4-litre engine is absolutely brutal. It provides jaw-dropping performance, and when combined with the six-speed manual sports transmission provides one of the most analogue and engaging driving experiences available for the road.
It fires into life with a menacing growl with that familiar GT3 RS chatter and rattle from the race spec flywheel – aurally similar to its RSR stablemate.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The GT3 RS is fitted with distinctive 19-inch ten-spoke alloy wheels and are sat in perfect condition. The wheels are clad in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres front and rear.
The large Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes are in perfect order and provide unparalleled stopping power without fading in even the toughest of conditions.
