The Appeal

The 2003 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (996.2) is the car that defined the modern RS formula. Built in a production run of just 682 units to satisfy motorsport homologation requirements, it paired a stripped-out, lightweight chassis with the naturally aspirated 3.6-litre "Mezger" flat-six, an engine known for its 8,200rpm redline and proven durability. Tipping the scales at a mere 1,360kg and channelling 381hp through a close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels alone, the 996.2 GT3 RS remains one of the most sought-after modern Porsches.

This example wears the Guards Red livery package, with matching side script decals, wheel centres, brake callipers and harnesses creating a striking contrast against the Carrara White bodywork. The odometer currently shows 43,303 km.

For collectors and driving enthusiasts alike, the 996.2 GT3 RS holds a special place in Porsche history. With just 682 examples produced, chances to acquire one rarely come along.

The Mechanics

Naturally aspirated 3.6-litre "Mezger" flat-six engine producing 381hp at 7,400rpm and 284lb-ft of torque at 5,000rpm
Close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox with single-mass flywheel
Rear-wheel drive
Four-piston monobloc brake callipers with 350mm steel discs

Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre “Mezger” flat-six engine, this Porsche delivers 381hp at 7,400rpm and 284lb-ft of torque at 5,000rpm, offering a highly engaging and responsive driving experience. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox fitted with a single-mass flywheel for sharper throttle response and a more direct connection to the drivetrain. Stopping performance comes from four-piston monobloc brake callipers paired with substantial 350mm steel discs, ensuring strong and consistent braking capability.
