Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0

Il veicolo in dettaglio

Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer this rare and low-mileage 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0. With 500 BHP on tap and weighing as little as 1360kg, these are very special Porsche modern classics.

Evo magazine wrote, “Considered by many to be one of Porsche’s finest achievements, the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 was the ultimate 997, and might just be the ultimate 911. They continued, “Porsche GB realised the 4.0 RS it had at its Silverstone-based Experience Centre wasn’t a pre-production prototype, as previously thought. It was a real RS. Road-legal and ready to be driven away from the constraints of the brilliant range of test tracks and low-grip facilities at Silverstone and out into the great wide open. Scotland seemed the greatest and widest-open destination.  The simplicity, the manual gearbox and the upright glasshouse of the 997 undoubtedly creates a sense of old-school sensibilities. It’s funny how the subsequent 991 and now 992 generation have made the 997 feel ‘classic’ so quickly. Yet it’s worth remembering that this isn’t some weedy relic that trades performance for an intangible and quaint ‘charm’. The last of the Mezger-powered monsters still has a bite force that is hard to shake. The block and long-throw crank are straight from an RSR race car, the intake system was derived from the short-lived but fascinating GT3 R Hybrid, and new headers, less restrictive cats and titanium used throughout the exhaust system all help the 4-litre flat-six generate 493bhp at 8250rpm and 339lb ft at 5750rpm.”  0-62 mph acceleration is despatched in just 3.8 seconds and the top speed 193 mph. They concluded, “The best car we’ve ever driven? Right here and now I can’t think of a good reason why not.”

Supplied new by Porsche Centre Colchester in August 2011, the GT3 RS 4.0 has benefitted from 8 main dealer services the most recent of which was carried out in April 2025. Offered with a 12-month written warranty, this is an opportunity to acquire one of the modern Porsche greats.
