Porsche 911 996 GT3 RS
The first GT3 in the sharpest RS "Rennsport" specification
The rarest and final "purist" GT3 RS without electronics
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS of the 996 generation represents the pure essence of motorsport transferred to public roads. At YDeal Cars, we regard it as one of the most authentic sports cars of the modern Porsche era – a machine that combines technical precision with a raw driving experience.
Unveiled in 2003 as a homologated model for racing specials, the 996 GT3 RS continues the legacy of iconic RS models – lightweight, uncompromising, and purpose-built for maximum performance. Thanks to extensive weight reduction, meticulous aerodynamic optimization, and mechanical enhancements, this is a car that excels on the track without losing usability on the road.
Under the hood lies a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six Mezger engine, derived from Porsche’s Le Mans race cars, producing 381 horsepower and revving beyond 8,000 rpm. It's paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, ensuring an unfiltered, direct connection between driver and machine.
The body features carbon and polycarbonate components, including the rear wing, and is exclusively painted white with red or blue decals – a tribute to the brand's racing heritage. Combined with a firm chassis setup and reworked steering, it offers one of the most intense experiences ever delivered by a road-legal Porsche.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS (996) is highly sought-after among collectors – not only for its limited production run (only 682 units) but also for its exceptional engineering and significance in the GT family. For investors and purists alike, it represents the perfect balance of history, performance, and exclusivity.
