This GT3 RS has been in the hands of passionate owners who valued precision driving, reliability, and well-executed technical upkeep.

All driving behavior is predictable and confidence-enhancing, with an upgraded technical setup that was chosen to improve durability, feedback and overall driving enjoyment.
Factory RS Features
The GT3 RS already started as one of the most focused Porsche Road cars ever built. Compared to a standard GT3, the RS benefits from:
• Lightweight rear hatch and engine cover
• Carbon fibre rear wing
• Reduced mass and improved aerodynamic balance
• Approx. 300 hp per ton power-to-weight ratio
• Alcantara sport bucket seats and functional motorsport cockpit
This example is finished in black with striking orange highlights including wheels, mirrors, rear wing end plates and a matching orange roll cage. The visual identity is unmistakably RS and highly appreciated among collectors.
Wheels, Suspension & Interior
• 19-inch orange BBS magnesium forged wheels
• Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres
• Porsche steel brakes
• Alcantara steering elements
• Alcantara race seats with Schroth harnesses
• Chrono package housing in black
• Electric damper control, cruise control and trip computer
High-Quality Technical Upgrades
All performance upgrades were selected with quality, safety and longevity as top priorities. These are not cosmetic changes — they improve driving precision and mechanical durability while remaining fully compatible with everyday usability.
Installed upgrades include:
• Akrapovic exhaust system
• Sachs sports clutch
• Cup brake systems
• Certified full roll cage
• KW V3 suspension (adjustable)
• Six-point Schroth race harnesses
• OMP Alcantara steering wheel
• OMP integrated fire extinguisher system

This configuration gives the car sharper response, stronger braking performance, controlled chassis behavior and increased mechanical resilience — while remaining fully usable, serviceable, and enjoyable.
Maintenance and Technical Care
One of the strongest selling points of this RS is its excellent maintenance level. The car has been continuously serviced, inspected and mechanically cared for with uncompromising attention to detail.
Every technical element — from drivetrain to suspension, clutch, brakes and safety systems — has benefited from methodical upkeep, regular checkups and professional workmanship. Consumables, lubrication, and mechanical components were always managed proactively, ensuring a confident and worry-free driving experience.
The vehicle comes with:
• Original books
• Service invoices
• Documentation relating to maintenance and upgrades
This car has been kept to a very high mechanical standard, with a focus on reliability, accuracy, and long-term preservation.
Exterior & Interior Condition
The car presents very well for its age and mileage. The black exterior remains attractive and uniform, with small usage marks typical of a driven GT3 RS. The cabin is clean, functional and fully ready for driving enjoyment. General condition reflects both careful ownership and a focus on mechanical integrity rather than cosmetic obsession.
This is not a concours garage ornament, but a very well-prepared RS that has been mechanically protected, preserved and continuously maintained to a high standard.
