Porsche confirms in writing that a total of 138 units of the 2002 model year 911 GT3 Cup were built, 18 of which were finished in Guards Red. The interior of this vehicle is finished with clear coat. The remaining vehicles were manufactured ex-factory without clear coat. This replacement vehicle was never used in the Porsche Carrera Cup or Supercup and participated in the Porsche Sports Cup only five times in 2005. This is confirmed by the enclosed DMSB vehicle registration certificate. The Porsche Center Willich acquired the vehicle directly from Porsche Motorsport in 2002 in its original condition and registered it for road use.

As a result, it wasn’t pushed to the limit or modified and restored countless times like the other 996 GT3 Cup cars. This car’s appeal lies precisely in the fact that no racing history was written with it, and it is now seeking a new owner who will write the next chapters of its story. This particular example is likely one of a kind and might otherwise only be found directly at the Porsche Motorsport museum.
Conclusion: A unique Cup car with a wide range of uses and potential for appreciation in value. The car has a current general inspection and valid street registration.
