Porsche 991 GT3 RS
Highlights
- In extremely good condition!
- Low mileage!
- Desirable color combination!
There are many iconic colors that have adorned Porsche’s RS cars over the years. 2.7 Carrera RS from 1973 in white with red decals, 964 RS in Maritime Blue/Stern Ruby/Mint Green, 997 GT3 RS in Viper Green — but perhaps most iconic in modern times: 991.1 GT3 RS in Ultraviolet.
A color so difficult to paint and reproduce that Porsche eventually removed it from the standard range. The result? The rarest color on an already extreme car. Which is a shame – few cars carry off purple as well as this one.
Chris Harris in Chris Harris on Cars first drives a Lava orange car on public roads during his 2015 test, but then switches to “Mr Purple” when he’s about to do a few laps on Porsche’s Weissach test track. Popular culture meets car culture and an icon is born.
