One of just 413 imported into the United States, this 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a stunning presentation in the iconic color of Viper Green with bold black “GT3 RS” graphics emblazoned along the sides. The interior is dressed in rich black leather and Alcantara with deviated Viper Green stitching on the seats, dash and side panels. A genuine Porsche-issued Viper Green rollbar and thin-shell racing seats complete the cabin. The GT3 RS occupies a focused niche in the 911 lineup and uses a host of specialized parts.
The engine block is referred to as the “Mezger” engine—a motorsports-derived powerplant that is distinctly different than the one used in the other standard 997 generation-one models. This 3.6L horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine produces 415 HP—an amazing 1.88 HP per cubic inch in naturally aspirated form. Under the guidance of Andreas Preuninger—Porsche’s ace Chief Development Engineer—the entire setup on the GT3 has been reconfigured with larger brakes, sculpted body pieces to add aerodynamic downforce, recalibrated suspension and lowered ride height.
The GT3 RS is visually distinguished from its GT3 sibling with a wide rear fender body—one that is shared with the Carrera 4—in order to accommodate wider wheels and tires. It is further endowed with carbon-ceramic brakes and the following weight-saving features: an adjustable carbon-fiber rear wing, plastic engine cover and a thin-gauge glass rear window. The net result is a factory-rated top speed of 193 MPH and 0-60 MPH acceleration time of just 4.3 seconds. This example has only 8,571 original miles and is additionally optioned with air conditioning and Sport Chrono.
The GT3 has long been considered the best driver’s car of the entire Porsche lineup, and the rare RS versions only serve to enhance the attributes that have led to such praise from Porschephiles.
