Celebrated as one of the greatest Porsche 911s ever produced, the 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 marks the final iteration of the legendary Mezger engine with a special 4.0-liter flat-six derived from the contemporary GT3 RSR race car. Limited to just over 600 examples, it showcases a carbon fiber hood and front fenders, front canards, lightweight carbon fiber bucket seats, a 6-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, dynamic engine mounts, and a unique exterior graphics package. This example is finished in Carrara White over a Black leather and Alcantara interior with deviated silver stitching. It came factory-equipped with the optional Extended Carbon Package, carbon fiber air vent trim, Sound Package Plus, and Dynamic Cornering Lights. Sold new in San Diego, where it remained with its original owner until 2023, this GT3 RS 4.0 is now located in Illinois and available for auction to the public for the first time, with less than 6,000 miles showing on the odometer.
Building on the platform of the GT3 RS, the 4.0 version is further enhanced with a lighter carbon fiber hood and front fenders, front wheel arch flares, front canards, polycarbonate rear windows, a glass-reinforced plastic decklid, and a fixed rear wing with unique side plates. This example is finished in Carrara White with silver front air intakes, dive planes, and wing uprights, complementing the two-tone mirrors and racing stripes. Equipment includes bi-xenon headlights with optional Dynamic Cornering, LED taillights and daytime running lights, clear side marker lenses, dual center-mounted titanium tailpipes, and red Porsche-branded brake calipers. The factory 19” GT3 center-lock wheels have been repainted in OEM GT Silver from their optional, black-painted finish. The seller adds that the car has been preserved in exceptional overall condition, detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Featuring lightweight carbon fiber bucket seats with red seatbelts, the cockpit is appointed with Black leather and Alcantara upholstery accented by silver deviated stitching and optional carbon fiber trim. Accessories include RS 4.0-embroidered headrests, red cloth door pulls, an Alcantara-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, optional carbon fiber air vent trim, carbon fiber door sills, optional Sound Package Plus, Porsche Communication Management (PCM), automatic climate control, cruise control, and a numbered limitation plaque on the glovebox.
Equipped with forged pistons, titanium connecting rods, an RSR crankshaft, Dynamic Engine Mounts, and a sport exhaust system, the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter Mezger flat-six engine produces up to 500 HP and 339 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential and a single-mass flywheel. The car is also equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), adjustable coilovers, Dynamic Engine Mounts, and 6-piston front and 4-piston rear brake calipers paired with cross-drilled discs. A service was carried out by an authorized Porsche dealer in August 2025, including an oil change, brake fluid flush, new windshield wipers, cabin filters, spark plugs, engine air filters, and transmission fluid.
This sale will include two keys, a window sticker, owner's manuals with a pouch, a toolkit, a clean CARFAX report, and a clean title.
