We’ve seen the high markup currently being attached to the 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The bottom line is that if you’d like to have one immediately then you have to pay. But how much? With this car, a Lava Orange example with 28 miles on it, I hope to satisfy that curiosity and see what one might go for. The owner of this GT3 RS has put it up for auction with no reserve. For those who might genuinely be in the market for a GT3 RS I imagine this would also be worth investigating, either to get a sense of the market or even to buy it. Lava Orange isn’t quite as bright as previous orange variants Porsche has released. In pictures it reminds me somewhat of Blood Orange, which is one of my favorite 911 colors and was only available in the late-60s and early-70s. As with any brightly hued vehicle the color won’t be for everyone, but a GT3 RS deserves this sort of color anyway. Why hide? This particular example seems fairly highly optioned, of perhaps most significance the carbon ceramic brakes were selected, and came with a sticker price of $209,735.

At the moment this GT3 RS sits with a single bid of $284,999. A quick perusal of current eBay ads shows asking prices ranging from $314,900 all the way up to $419,000 with the majority of them priced above $350K. The lowest priced example (also Lava Orange with PCCB) has 350 miles on it so that may explain its lower price relative to the others. Regardless, at current bidding the price here seems pretty reasonable relative to its peers. We’ll have to wait and see where this auction ends and perhaps it does begin to move into the territory of the other asking prices, but either way it should give us a decent gauge of what some buyers are actually willing to pay.

There are dozens around for $300 to $325. I sat in one today, I’ll take it for a drive tomorrow. The sticker was a bit north of $200.
