Available for auction is a painting by Greg Stirling featuring the "Porsche 911 GT3 RS - New York City". This 53" x 33" painting is made from acrylic media, pencil, and oil pastel on canvas.
Porsche launched the RS version of the 911 GT3 at the Geneva Motor Show in 2015. Compared to the 911 GT3, the front fenders are now equipped with louvers above the wheels and the rear fenders now include Turbo-like intakes, rather than an intake below the rear wing. The interior includes full bucket seats (based on the carbon seats of the 918 Spyder), carbon-fiber inserts, a bolted-on roll cage behind the front seats. The car was nominated as one of Britain's best driver's cars of 2014 by Autocar magazine. The 3.8-litre unit found in the 911 GT3 is replaced with a 4.0-litre unit with 500 PS (370 kW; 490 hp) and 469 N⋅m (346 lb⋅ft) of torque. The transmission is PDK only. The drivetrain delivers 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 3.4 seconds (0.6 seconds quicker than the 997 GT3 RS 4.0) and 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 10.9 seconds. The Nürburgring Nordschleife time is 7 minutes and 20 seconds.
Greg Stirling lives and creates in San Jose, California. He recently became a member of the Guild of Motoring Artists. His work has been featured in numerous automotive art auctions. He started painting in 1980. After going through three decades of self-guided exploration in abstract expressionism, the art of the 20th century, and post-war impressionism, he arrived at the door of realism. To continue his area of study, Greg experimented with new techniques, media as well as innovative processes and concepts. Mr. Stirling is also an engineer, kinetic metal sculptor, and automotive enthusiast.
A message from the seller: "I decided to mate this legendary 911 GT3 RS with a New York city setting on a rainy day. The signed art piece is canvas that is stretched, gallery wrapped and ready to hang. A portion of the proceeds from this auction will be donated to charity." The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and fees.
