This special series limited edition GT3 RS 4.0 is car number 145 of the 600 examples produced worldwide, of which just circa 30 cars were UK supplied.

This rare and highly regarded model to a Porsche purist is the must have Porsche to own. The Mezger flat-six specification engine of 4 litres designed by renowned engine designer Hans Mezger, produces some 494 bhp, with the car’s weight of just 1,360kg giving the power-to-weight ratio of 365 bhp per tonne.

The RS 4.0 is some 10 kg lighter than a standard GT3 RS due to the extensive use of carbon to the bonnet and front wings, aero improvements were assisted with the fitment of Flics, air guide vanes fitted on the side of the front spoiler that help to reduce lift to the front axle at high speed, stiffer springs and the introduction of a bespoke PASM damping. The manual transmission was also upgraded to shorter shift gear ratios which was first fitted to the GT3 RS 3.8, the combined result to all those additions adds a perfect precision to the Porsche’s handling.

This particular example is a super low mileage, UK supplied car that was ordered new with the following factory options and features: Club sport package, Carrera GT style Bucket seats, Porsche ceramic composite brakes (PCCB), Black roll cage, Porsche communication management system including extended navigation (PCM 3.0), Sports chrono package plus, sound package plus, universal audio interface, telephone module, black instrument dials, rear centre section of centre console in carbon, Alcantara roof lining, Alcantara sports steering wheel, floor mats, windscreen grey top tint, Porsche active suspension management (PASM), axle lift, lightweight battery, headlamp cleaning system, 19″ black painted wheels with centre lock and security tracking system.
