2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

As the 997’s model run slowly wound down Porsche released a variety of special models that showcased both its history and also its engineering and racing prowess. One of those cars is the car we see here: a 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0. The GT3 RS went through a constant evolution during the life of the 997, debuting with the 3.6 liter flat-six found in the standard Carrera and GT3, then enlarged to 3.8 liters with modified suspension, and finally the 4.0 liter 500 hp flat-six of the car we see here that featured further modifications to the body and suspension in an effort to reduce weight and improve overall performance. Needless to say, these were serious cars designed to showcase the limits Porsche could push the 997 chassis, without being a full-on race car. Only 600 were produced and with a price approaching $200K they weren’t cheap. But as a final send-off for the 997 the GT3 RS 4.0 was a fantastic display!

As the last of the GT3 models in any form to feature a 6-speed manual transmission, rather than PDK, the GT3 RS 4.0 will likely remain a legend amongst enthusiasts for many years. Prices for a used example have never really decreased, but I feel the asking price here is still quite a bit too high. Sure, the mileage is low enough that it’s basically a new car, but at twice the original selling price, and around $100K more than the listing of other examples of the GT3 RS 4.0, this one probably isn’t going anywhere. Still, if you want the ultimate naturally aspirated version of the 997, then this is your car.

    What a great car. I noticed it’s being sold at a Toyota dealership. Prior owner must have gotten the hots to trade it on that new, sportier Camry they have been advertising on TV recently.

    I wonder how much money someone would need to buy this for whatever its “really’ worth and then actually drive it, flog it, race it, and have fun while at the same time destroying that value. This is one of my all time fantasy cars. The last of the manuals it what truly does it for me.

    2 previous owners, both from FLA and a Toyota dealer in Northern Cal is selling it? Probably was a trade-in by the 2nd owner somewhere in FLA and then flogged off at auction somewhere.

    Changing the center lock wheel setups – which is a requisite service at regular intervals – costs more than every car I’ve ever purchased – not combined, but you get the point.

    this is the top dog of the GT3…and rightfully so…
    “soldi fanno soldi” translated money makes money….had a client who had a Blk/Orange GT3-RS when they were next to impossible to get…had a dealer badgering him to sell it…he basically drove the car for 6 months and got all his money back out of it….
    was one of the few to get one of these….same story….he hadn’t taken delivery yet when the calls started….LOL
