For many, the 997.2 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the one to get if you want the best of the best in the GT3 RS family. It was the last GT3 RS with a manual gearbox, if you don’t count whatever family the 991 911 R falls in, and some say feels like the perfect size. Don’t get me wrong, I love the 991 GT3 RS and I’m probably going to love the not-yet-released 992 GT3 RS, but if you want a manual transmission, the buck stops here. Just 541 examples came to the US, but today’s car as you might have noticed by which side the steering wheel is located, isn’t one of those 541 cars. Also, it is Cobalt Blue Metallic.

It’s refreshing to see one of these in something other than their signature Grey Black with Guards Red accents. The subtle gold graphics and matching wheels are a real surprise, and another note on this one is the optional full cloth seats as opposed to the mix of black leather and Alcantara as on the US-spec cars. Roll bars were standard in European cars, but forbidden to be sold here due to US regulations.
The price on this one 12,000 miles translates right at $260,000. There is a slight premium given it is a right-hand-drive car that was originally delivered to the UK, so this is basically rare on top of rare. Honestly, I think that is about market value when you consider the color as well. These will never be cheaper again, so as long as you don’t crash it, basically, you’ve parked money.
