The Appeal
The 991.1-generation GT3, with its naturally aspirated 3.8-litre flat-six revving to a spine-tingling 8,250rpm and producing 468bhp, represents one of the last and finest expressions of the high-revving GT engine philosophy, a formula that has only grown in desirability as the automotive world has moved towards turbocharging and electrification.
This particular car, however, goes well beyond the standard GT3 brief. Ordered through Porsche's Paint to Sample programme in Citroën Kandahar Grey, a colour originally associated with early Citroën DS models, it is believed to be the only 911 finished in this distinctive hue. The result is a GT3 that stands apart from the sea of white, silver and black examples, its understated grey exterior complemented by a cabin trimmed in black leather and Alcantara with Guards Red stitching, Guards Red seat belts, a Guards Red Sport Chrono stopwatch and extensive carbon-fibre trim.
The factory specification is equally thorough, encompassing the front axle lift system, dynamic engine mounts, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, darkened LED headlights with dynamic cornering function, and 20-inch satin-black centre-lock wheels.
The car presents well throughout, with the paintwork believed to be entirely original and showing only age-appropriate stone chips and minor gravel rash. Inside, the cabin looks smart, with light signs of use consistent with a car that has been driven and enjoyed.
For the enthusiast or collector seeking a 991.1 GT3 with genuine distinction, this Paint to Sample example offers a rare opportunity to acquire a car that is unlikely to be replicated.
