While most of these vehicles have been pushed to the limit on the Nürburgring, at Spa or other racetracks as well as on public roads and have been stressed accordingly.
Our vehicle, on the other hand, is practically still a "virgin". No race track use, no over-revving, no repainting and very low mileage.
The reason for this is certainly also that the first owner, a lawyer from the Frankfurt / Main area, never intended the 997 GT 2 RS for such purposes and therefore specified and ordered it completely differently from the majority of these vehicles.
The car has the 18-way sports seats and not the racing seats and the roll cage was deliberately omitted as the racetrack was never an issue.
The car has only been driven 2507 km so far and has had 5 services at Porsche during this time.
In May 2024 a major service with new tires was just done. ( the original first tires were kept and are available with the vehicle )
This vehicle is painted in Guards Red and the interior is leather black with Alcantara in red.
The exterior color is the rarest of the standard colors on the 997 GT 2 RS and harmonizes perfectly with the visible carbon parts on the car.
Inside, the black and red combination is certainly not "everyone's cup of tea" but was restricted to the Limited Editions 997 GT 3 RS 4.0 and 997 GT 2 RS and was not ordered that often.
In a few years, it will certainly be a rare contemporary witness and highly sought-after.
We know this from the interior colors of the 964 RS such as black with magenta or other 964 / 993 that had unusual interior colors such as nephrite green, Wimbledon green, sherwood green, chestnut brown or similar tones that are extremely sought after today - 20 -30 years later - and have a significant positive impact on prices.
Furthermore, the history of our vehicle is fully known and documented.
Both that of the owners and that of the services.

Please do not compare this car with vehicles of the same type that you may have seen recently.
We are talking about a 997 GT 2 RS in true collector's condition as close to new as you can get.
