Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0

Il veicolo in dettaglio

Powered by the legendary Mezger-designed engine, this GT3 RS 4.0 borrows the crankshaft from the RSR race car, increasing the stroke and boosting output from 450 hp (in the 3.8-liter GT3 RS) to 500 hp, all while revving beyond 8,000 rpm. Mated exclusively to a six-speed manual gearbox, the driving experience remains pure, visceral, and deeply engaging—a true enthusiast’s machine.

This particular 997 GT3 RS 4.0 was delivered in October 2011 to an Italian collector. Porsche offered the RS 4.0 in just two standard colors—Carrera White and Basalt Black—with Paint to Sample reserved for only a select few. Finished in Carrera White, this example retains its original paint and its factory graphics package, accentuating the aggressive yet purposeful design. It was also optioned with white color-matched wheels and the front axle lift system, significantly improving usability in everyday driving.

Inside, the black and red carbon-fiber bucket seats provide exceptional lateral support, with both standard three-point seat belts and racing harnesses attached to the factory-installed rear half cage. A set of aluminum racing pedals enhances heel-toe downshifting, while the center console houses a navigation system and climate controls, blending functionality with the RS’s track-ready focus.
