The OG GT3.
Hand-built by Porsche Motorsport strictly to homologate the 911 for GT3 racing, many consider the 996.1 GT3 to be the RS of its generation.
A raw, uncompromising driver’s car developed before GT3 and RS diverged into separate model lines.
As Porsche historian, Jason Shepherd succinctly put it:
“It could have been called an RS, really. The 996.1 is more closely related to the racing cars than any GT product since. It’s the real deal.”
Finished in Zanzibar Red, a colour much maligned in period but now regarded as one of Stuttgart’s best hues, we’re very proud to have rehomed this exceptional car.
