One of only 600 examples produced, this 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 has traveled a mere 3,970 original miles since new. The GT3 RS 4.0 is from the 997 era and holds sacred status within the Rennsport-inspired food chain at Porsche. Like its forefather—the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7—history will prove this GT3 RS 4.0 to be an epic high-watermark car. There is one significant reason why: it is the last 911 GT3 equipped with a Mezger engine paired to a 6-speed manual transmission. Named after its designer Hans Mezger, the Mezger engine is one of the most revered powerplants ever produced by Porsche.
It powered not only the 930 Turbo road car, but also a string of legendary race cars, including the 934, 935, 956, 962 and GT1. The GT3 RS in subsequent model years—991 series—would mandate a PDK transmission exclusively and phase out the Mezger engine for a new replacement block, one internally referred to as the 9A1. The rifle bolt-action of the 6-speed manual provides tactile gratification preferred by many over the dual-clutch PDK. Powered by a 4.0L/500 HP flat-6 engine, the GT3 RS gained displacement over its 3.8L brethren from a longer-stroke 80.4mm crankshaft directly out of the 997 RS Race Car.
Likewise, the titanium connecting rods and front dive planes were sourced from the RSR race car. Weighing in at a svelte 2,988 pounds, Porsche took advantage of lightweight carbon fiber for the front fenders, front decklid and rear wing. The wide body enables the fitment of steamroller tires mounted on lightweight alloy center-lock wheels. Presented in the iconic color combination of Carrara White with red and silver body accents, this 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 is considered by many as the purest example of the breed.
