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.
