- This extraordinary 911 GT3 RS 4.0 has been driven just 341 miles since new.
- Just 39 examples of the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 came with a Paint-to-Sample finish.
- Earlier this year, a white example traded hands for $1,001,917.
Many believe that the Porsche 911 peaked with the GT3 RS 4.0, launched as the flagship version of the beloved 997.2 back in 2011. Limited to just 600 examples worldwide, it was the first 911 to use a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six and the last GT3 RS offered with a six-speed manual. But, is it worth anywhere near $2.69 million? Probably not.
Exquisite 911 GT3 RS 4.0 models don’t hit the market all that often, but when they do, they attract plenty of attention. Earlier this year, one was sold for €471,875 or around $554,000 at an auction in Paris, despite having 10,094 km (6,272 miles) under its belt.

More recently, a pristine example driven just 319 miles (513 km) was sold in the US for an eye-watering $1,001,917. The seller of this example is asking for well over double that figure.
This GT3 RS 4.0 is up for sale from Graham Rahal Performance in Zionsville, Indiana, with an asking price of $2,699,996. It has been driven just 341 miles (549 km) since new, and unlike the vast majority of other 4.0 models, it is not painted white. In fact, it is one of just 39 examples with a Paint-to-Sample finish. While the GT Silver may not be a particularly flamboyant color from the PTS palette, it does look excellent.
Contrasting the GT Silver paint are the customary black graphics of the GT3 RS 4.0, complete with bright red accents. The car also has black and red wing mirrors. It also sits on stunning black centerlock wheels, positioned over a set of golden brake calipers.

The interior has also been nicely specced and comes complete with black leather and Alcantara, red seatbelts, and red door pulls. A plaque on the dashboard reveals this is number 318 of the 600 that were built.
A look at the window sticker reveals the original owner of this Porsche paid $216,210, or the equivalent of $308,990. While we suspect there’s no chance in hell anyone will pay $2.6 million for it, even if it matches the recent sale of a $1 million example, that would mean its value has more than tripled over the last 14 years. Not bad. Not bad at all.
