No wonder he had to bring it back home.

But he's not getting his first-ever GT3 RS back!

 

The very sinister GT2 RS #483 currently for sale at Isringhausen. This car sold for $539,000 at Gooding Amelia Island 2018.

Interestingly, car #484 is also currently for sale and sports a nearly identical all-Black spec.

An interesting video from Porsche featuring the man himself, Hans Mezger, whose name is famously tied to the 996-997 GT era engines and the Porsche boxer engine design as a whole dating back to the 1950s:

 

Another video with commentary from AP himself on what makes the GT2 RS:

 

GT Silver Metallic, the color originally formulated for the Carrera GT supercar

997 GT2 RS might be one of the few cars I would add to my personal garage finished in Black.

Fittingly sinister for the most powerful manual-transmission Porsche road car ever built

Cows think the 4.0 RS is special

This just sold on BAT. Surprisingly low price compared to 2 years ago.

$131,000 seems fair given that it has a bolt-in roll bar, evidence of some track time and 25,000 miles.

This 997.1 RS with 7,000 miles sold for $201,600 last month, and another 997.1 RS also sold at Barrett Jackson last month for $209,000.

This is the thread for the numbered 997 RS cars (RS 4.0 and GT2 RS), I think this is applicable to the "GT3 RS" thread.

As noted above, that's a pretty fair price for that particular car. The gap is widening between "driver" quality cars and "collector" quality cars as tends to always happen when cars become older and conditions vary more widely.

 

So very sorry. Terrible mistake.

 

Last summer our local Porsche dealer had several 6-7, 997.1 GT3 RS and they sold from about $130k - $160k with about 3,500 - 12,000 miles on the clock. Several were Lava Orange which is not so popular color IMO. A local company had leased them for their executive officers and they were coming off the lease or so I was told.

 

Are you referring to 991.1 GT3 RS?

They came in Lava Orange. The 997 cars did not, and are around 13 years old, so probably wouldn't be leased unless with a 3rd party company.

 

No worries!

 

4.0 RS in white looks better with silver (or black) wheels I think

My bad and yes they were 991.1 GT3 RS

 

WP0AF2A96BS785661 which sold at Gooding Amelia Island 2020 @ $621k. Beautiful spec on this example, with some unique touches

Carrara White will always be the defining color for the 4.0, here is #260 with the factory-optioned clear tail lights
