2010 PORSCHE GT 3

Launched to rapturous applause from the motoring press in 2009, the Gen 2 997 RS introduced a raft of hardware changes that pushed the package to a level not seen before. Indeed, this was the first RS model to offer a power increase over its GT3 stablemate; 450 PS up from 435 PS - achieved by a higher compression ratio and enlarged air intake system.

Previously, the RS had never been about more power and, true to form, that tradition continued. The Gen 2 car retained its predecessor’s Single-Mass Flywheel and benefitted further from 13% shorter gearing across ratios 1-5 compared to the contemporary GT3. The result - increased urgency and much more punch through the lower gears. The RS also retained the curvaceous wider body shell, adding a wider front track and a 245-section tyre to the mix. This necessitated the addition of front wing extensions which endow the car with welcome extra visual presence.

The GT Department didn’t stop there though; aluminium doors, a composite rear window, titanium exhaust backbox and tips, centre-locking wheels, short shift kit and the usual fully adjustable suspension all featured. The front braking system benefitted from larger, 380 mm front discs and Porsche also introduced Dynamic Engine Mounts or PADM. This innovate new technology reduced vibration and harshness while giving better control over the inertia of that Mezger flat-six when pressing on. It is fair to say the investment in this generation of RS was exhaustive.

Chassis 781439 available here represents a rare opportunity for the discerning collector - wearing a mere from new, it offers an experience akin to purchasing one of these cars new in 2010. It still smells like a new 997 inside.

Delivered to its lucky first owner in 2010 via the Official Porsche distributor in Hong Kong, Jebsen Motors Ltd, the car spent many years in a private collection there. It was mostly unused and covered only 1,267 miles until import to the UK in 2018. Upon arrival it was treated to a recommissioning service at Porsche Centre Portsmouth. The car was registered with the DVLA in 2019 and has since lived with further UK-based collectors.

In terms of specification, this example carries the iconic Carrara White and Guards Red colour scheme this generation of GT3 RS is well loved for. It’s well specified inside too, with the optional Lightweight Bucket Seats, complementing the standard Clubsport Package. An Alcantara headliner, Guards Red belts and Auxiliary Audio preparation complete this purposeful configuration.

The car has been used carefully since arrival in the UK with regular services approximately biannually, confirmed by the gently increasing mileage in the service booklet. Most recently, the car was with Porsche Centre Glasgow in June 2026 for a minor service and comes complete with its tool kit, both keys and book pack.

This iconic 911 is now ready to be enjoyed and may be viewed in Surrey, England, by appointment only, please.
