Porsche's RS (RennSport, meaning 'racing sport' in English) lineage traces back to the iconic Carrera RS 2.7 of 1973. This remarkable vehicle, with its lightweight construction and race-bred engine, set the stage for future Porsche models bearing the esteemed RS badge.
Its performance capabilities were truly astounding for its time, boasting a 0-100km/h acceleration in just 5.6 seconds, reaching 100mph in 12.8 seconds, and achieving a top speed of 150mph. Visually, RS models were distinguished by a subtle ducktail spoiler on the rear deck and a lower, more aggressive front splitter.
While several models have since embraced the RS moniker, it was the 2003 996 GT3 RS that revitalized the name in the modern era. Derived from the 996 GT3, the RS variant featured an enhanced 381bhp version of the renowned 'Mezger' racing engine. Originally developed for Porsche's 1996 GT1 racing models, this water-cooled flat-six powerplant has achieved legendary status within Porsche circles, particularly due to its inclusion in GT3 models.
Since then, Porsche has introduced no less than six iterations of RS models, each inspiring, delighting, and at times, terrifying enthusiasts. These vehicles have consistently dominated various levels of motorsport, leaving an indelible mark on both road and track, often securing the coveted top step on the podium.

The 4.0-litre engine shared with its GT3 sibling undergoes tuning to deliver an impressive 514 horsepower in the GT3 RS. As a nod to track enthusiasts who prioritise fast lap times, the only available transmission option is the PDK. This choice reflects a preference for speed over the tactile engagement of a manual gearbox. The RS model surpasses its counterparts in terms of weight reduction, speed, and power, clocking in at an impressive 3.0 seconds for the zero-to-100km/h sprint and boasting a top speed of 312km/h.
To enhance its lightweight construction, the GT3 RS incorporates carbon fibre for the front hood and fenders, while the roof is made from magnesium. Drawing inspiration from the more aggressive 991.2 GT2 RS, the aero kit features key elements such as NACA ducts on the hood and a prominent front splitter. Alongside the customary suspension modifications specific to the RS variant, new helper springs have been implemented at both the front and rear, complemented by upgraded ball joints.
This rare and meticulously configured GT3 RS comes accompanied by all the original manuals and a leather Porsche wallet containing both factory keys. With its exceptional specifications, this vehicle is an opportunity not to be overlooked.
