Seller's Introduction

duPont REGISTRY Live presents this exceptional 2005 Porsche 911 GT3, finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over a Black leather interior and powered by the legendary 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. Showing 48,996 miles and accompanied by a clean CarFax, this driver-focused GT3 features a distinctive blue-accented appearance, hardback Sport Seats, a blue roll cage, and tasteful performance-oriented upgrades including a RUF shifter and Rennline aluminum pedals. As one of approximately 1,017 examples of the 996.2 GT3 officially delivered to the United States, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire the first modern, water-cooled GT3 offered to the North American market.

Overview

The 996.2-generation Porsche 911 GT3 marked a pivotal moment in Porsche's performance history, introducing North American enthusiasts to the race-bred GT3 formula for the first time. Derived directly from Porsche's motorsport program, the GT3 combined lightweight construction, naturally aspirated Mezger power, and an engaging six-speed manual transmission to create one of the purest driver's cars of its era. Approximately 1,017 examples were officially delivered to the United States between the 2003 and 2005 model years, making the 996.2 GT3 both highly collectible and historically significant as the first water-cooled GT3 sold new in North America.

 

Finished in timeless Arctic Silver Metallic, this GT3 features a striking appearance enhanced by blue GT3 wheels, matching blue mirror caps, GT3 side graphics, and a blue rear wing that create a distinctive motorsport-inspired contrast. Red-painted brake calipers provide a vivid complement to the exterior while signaling the car's high-performance braking system, and Bi-Xenon headlights offer excellent visibility while preserving the clean, purposeful styling that defines the 996-generation GT3.

 

The cabin reflects Porsche's uncompromising focus on driver engagement. Black leather upholstery is complemented by Porsche crests embossed into the headrests, while hardback Sport Seats provide exceptional support during spirited driving. Aluminum-finished gauge surrounds, instrument dials, and seat backs reinforce the car's competition-inspired character, while a thicker steering wheel offers enhanced grip and tactile feedback. A blue roll cage and factory fire extinguisher further emphasize the GT3's motorsport pedigree, and tasteful upgrades including a RUF short shifter and Rennline aluminum pedals enhance the driving experience without compromising the car's original character.

 

At the heart of the GT3 is Porsche's legendary naturally aspirated 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six, an engine whose racing lineage traces directly to Porsche's endurance competition program. Producing 381 horsepower and renowned for its durability, razor-sharp throttle response, and exhilarating high-revving nature, the Mezger engine remains one of the most celebrated powerplants ever installed in a road-going Porsche. Power is delivered exclusively to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle and limited-slip differential, providing the direct, analog driving experience that has made the 996 GT3 a benchmark among modern performance cars.

 

Showing 48,996 miles and accompanied by a clean CarFax, this 2005 Porsche 911 GT3 represents an outstanding opportunity to own one of the most important modern GT3 models ever produced. As one of only approximately 1,017 U.S.-delivered examples, powered by the iconic Mezger engine and equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, this well-presented GT3 is accompanied by one key, a front license plate bracket, and service records, making it an exceptional addition to any Porsche enthusiast's garage or collection.
