For over half a century, the RS badge has been synonymous with Porsche’s relentless pursuit of performance, innovation, and motorsport dominance. It all began with the 718 RSK race car, which made its debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the late 1950s, cementing Porsche’s reputation for lightweight engineering and precision handling. Since then, the RS moniker has evolved into the ultimate expression of track-focused performance for the road, illustrated by the Porsche 911 GT3 RS…
In 1973, Porsche ignited a revolution with the 911 Carrera RS – a homologation special that introduced the now-iconic ducktail spoiler, lightweight philosophy, and race-bred engineering that set the pace for every RS model to follow. Fast-forward 44 years, and the Geneva Motor Show became the stage for yet another milestone: the unveiling of the 991.2 GT3 RS. This naturally aspirated masterpiece pushed the limits of the GT3 platform with a 4.0L flat-six engine screaming to 9,000 RPM, motorsport-derived aerodynamics, and a Nürburgring-honed chassis that blurred the line between road and race car.
From the legendary 996 GT3 RS to the latest 992 GT3 RS with active aero wizardry, the RS lineage continues to embody Porsche’s ethos: engineering precision, visceral driving engagement, and an unwavering commitment to performance.
This Porsche 911 GT3 RS Clubsport is a dream to own for many and a poster car for petrolheads! This example has just 12,600 miles on the clock and a full Porsche main dealer service history, ensuring its mechanical integrity remains as sharp as the day it left the production line.
Factory-Optional Extras
Spec’d with over £11,000 in factory-optional extras, including the coveted Clubsport Package, adding a factory roll cage, fire extinguisher, six-point harness, and battery master switch, bringing it even closer to its track-focused roots. The Front Axle Lift ensures practicality on the road, while the Sports Chrono Package enhances lap time accuracy. The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) provides optimal lighting, making this RS as capable on a night drive as it is in the day.
Additionally, 95% of the body is covered in XPEL PPF, protecting the stunning aerodynamic lines from stone chips and wear, ensuring this GT3 RS remains in immaculate condition. View our preparation and walkaround video of this Porsche 911 GT3 RS below…
When the 991.2 was launched, the extensive alterations made to the engine captured the attention of the global car scene, as a 9,000 rpm redline could now be achieved due to the introduction of the 4.0-litre aluminium flat-six naturally aspirated engine. Originally derived from the 911 GT3 R, this revamped 6-cylinder powerhouse allows the driver to reach a top speed of 193 mph (520 PS & 470 Nm), attaining 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds with a Porsche PDK 7-Speed Gearbox. This animalistic 9,000 rpm power, coupled with the specially tuned Titanium Exhaust System, creates a roaring symphony, noted with the iconic “Porsche Howl” to stimulate the instincts of any enthusiast.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS: Performance-Enhancing Externals
Presented in a vibrant Carrera White finish, this 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is as visually striking as it is performance-focused. Its lightweight construction is evident in the extensive use of carbon fibre-reinforced body panels, crafted for both strength and agility.
At the front, an exposed carbon underside bonnet features NACA brake cooling ducts, increasing airflow for superior braking performance. Carbon fibre front wings with wheel arch vents reduce lift and enhance high-speed stability, while the engine lid, issued with cooling air intakes, ensures optimal heat management for the high-revving 4.0L flat-six.
Adding to its motorsport pedigree, a carbon fibre engine bay and GT3-specific lightweight front bumper complete the package, bracing the car’s track-bred DNA. Every detail serves a purpose, making this GT3 RS the pure definition of Porsche’s relentless pursuit of performance.
Internal Luxuries & Comforts of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS
The GT3 RS doesn’t compromise on driver comfort. Inside, 918 Spyder carbon fibre lightweight fixed bucket seats provide exceptional support, while Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) ensures adaptability across varying road conditions. The Extended Leather/Alcantara Package adds a touch of luxury to the cabin, and a Bose Surround Sound System ensures an engaging audio experience – whether on a lively drive or a cross-country journey.
