Conceived to comply with homologation rules for competition, the 911 GT3 RS debuted in 2003 as the type-996 generation of the 911 neared the end of its production run. Essentially a track car with a road registration, it was an evolution of the 911 GT3, itself based on the 911 GT3 Cup competition car. The subsequent type-997 version of the GT3 RS launched in 2006, with increased output from the motorsports-derived 3.6-litre “Mezger” flat-six engine and redesigned bodywork for improved aerodynamics.

In 2009, the succeeding type-997.2 GT3 debuted with further improvements, most notable of which was an increase in engine displacement to 3.8 litres, which helped boost output to 435 horsepower. As expected, an updated RS version followed a year later offering a heady 450 horsepower on tap. Some sources put total production for the type-997.2 GT3 RS coupés with the 3.8-litre engine at 1,619 units. A mere 100 of these are said to have been produced for 2011, including the example offered here, making it among the rarest of 911 models produced in any given model year.

This German-delivery Porsche 911 GT3 RS 3.8 completed production on 29 June 2010. In 2011, it was exported from Germany to Switzerland by the previous owner and was subsequently acquired by the consignor in January 2015. The car has remained well cared for as part of The Carrera Collection ever since.

This 911 GT3 RS 3.8 is finished today as it left the factory, wearing Grey Black paint with Guards Red graphics and 19-inch centre-locking wheels. The Black Leatherette interior features the full Clubsport treatment, which includes deeply bolstered cloth bucket seats, multi-point harnesses, and a roll cage in place of the rear seats. The car was further equipped with numerous desirable options from the factory. These include a 90-litre fuel tank, the Sports Chrono Package Plus, the Sound Package Plus, universal audio interface, PCM including extended navigation, Bluetooth handsfree phone interface, and floor mats matching the interior color.

Additional equipment included dynamic engine mounts, a limited-slip rear differential, Porsche Active Suspension Management, fully automatic climate control, Alcantara roof lining, Bi-Xenon headlights, and instrument dials in black. At the time of cataloguing, the Porsche's odometer read just 10,409 kilometres.

This 2011 911 GT3 RS 3.8 is at the very apex of Porsche’s track-focused production models, offering a rare opportunity for marque aficionados and enthusiasts seeking a road car suited to serious circuit driving.

Der Porsche 911 GT3 RS wurde 2003 vorgestellt, als die Generation 996 des 911 sich bereits dem Ende ihrer Produktion näherte. Der GT3 RS war mehr oder weniger ein straßenzugelassener Rennwagen, eine Evolutionsstufe des 911 GT3, welcher wiederum auf dem 911 GT3 Cup Rennwagen basierte. Die nachfolgende 911 GT3 Version der Generation 997, die 1996 auf den Markt kam, holte noch einmal mehr Leistung aus dem „Mezger“ 3,6-Liter Sechszylinder-Boxermotor heraus, und bot eine neugestaltete Karosserie für eine noch bessere Aerodynamik.

2009 dann debütierte der GT3 der Generation des 997.2 mit noch mehr Verbesserungen, insbesondere einer Hubraumvergrößerung auf 3,8 Liter, wodurch die Leistung auf 435 PS angehoben wurde. Wie zu erwarten war, folgte die verbesserte RS-Version ein Jahr später mit gesunden 450 PS. Einige Quellen geben die Gesamtproduktion der GT3 RS Modelle der Generation 997.2 mit 1619 Einheiten an. Nur 100 davon wurden im Modelljahr 2011 gebaut, dieses hier angebotene Modell eingeschlossen, was ihn zu einem der seltensten 911 Modelle nach Modelljahr macht.

Dieser neu in Deutschland ausgelieferte Porsche 911 GT3 RS 3.8 wurde am 29. Juni 2010 fertiggestellt. 2011 wurde er vom vorigen Besitzer aus Deutschland in die Schweiz importiert, wo ihn anschließend der Einlieferer im Januar 2015 erwarb. Seitdem ließ es der Besitzer für dieses Auto in der Carrera Collection an nichts fehlen.

Dieser 911 GT3 RS 3.8 präsentiert sich heute genauso, wie er das Werk verlassen hat. Schwarzgrau mit indischroten Applikationen und 19 Zoll-Rädern mit Zentralverschluss. Das Interieur in schwarzem Kunstleder entspricht voll und ganz der Clubsport Version, wozu stark ausgeformte Schalensitze mit Stoffbezug ebenso gehören wie Mehrpunktgurte und ein Überrollbügel an Stelle der Rückbank. Darüber hinaus wurde dieser GT3 RS mit einer Reihe von interessanten Extras bestellt, darunter ein 90 Liter-Benzintank, das Sports Chrono Paket Plus, Sound Paket Plus, ein universelles Audio-Interface, Porsche PCM mit erweiterter Navigation, Bluetooth und auf den Innenraum abgestimmte Fußmatten.

Weitere Ausstattungsmerkmale sind dynamische Motorlager, Sperrdifferenzial, Porsche Active Suspension Management, eine vollautomatische Klimaanlage, ein Dachhimmel aus Alcantara, Doppel-Xenon-Scheinwerfer und Cockpitinstrumente mit schwarzen Zifferblättern.

Dieser 911 GT3 RS von 2011 befindet sich auf dem Zenit von Porsches Serienfahrzeugen für die Rennstrecke. Er bietet eine seltene Gelegenheit für Markenfans und Enthusiasten, die einen straßenzugelassenen Porsche für ernsthaften Renneinsatz auf der Strecke suchen.
