Seller's Introduction

Previously owned by renowned Porsche specialist Bruce Canepa, this GT3 RS is equipped with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, the Sport Chrono Package, a six-speed manual transaxle, and a 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six. Further distinguished by gold BBS wheels, a carbon-fiber rear wing, Carrera GT bucket seats, a MOMO three-spoke steering wheel, paint-matched interior components, and JRZ suspension, this example carries the focused character of Porsche's homologation-inspired GT3 RS and is accompanied by two keys and a Certificate of Authenticity.
Overview
Introduced for the 2007 model year, the 911 GT3 RS represented Porsche's most focused naturally aspirated 997-generation GT3 variant at the time. Developed with an emphasis on reduced weight, increased chassis response, and motorsport-derived technology, the GT3 RS combined the high-revving Mezger flat-six with a wider body, more aggressive aerodynamics, and a suspension setup intended to provide a sharper connection between driver and road. The model's combination of a naturally aspirated engine, rear-wheel drive, and six-speed manual transmission has made the 997 GT3 RS particularly sought after among enthusiasts and collectors.
Finished in Orange, this GT3 RS is distinguished by gold BBS wheels, a carbon-fiber rear wing, and black-painted mirrors and wing end plates. The contrasting exterior details complement the car's motorsport-inspired appearance while maintaining the distinctive visual identity of the 997 GT3 RS.
Inside, the car features black leather and alcantara upholstery and Carrera GT carbon fiber bucket seats, reinforcing its competition-inspired character. A MOMO three-spoke steering wheel with a yellow center stripe provides a distinctive focal point for the cockpit, while full deviated stitching adds further contrast throughout the cabin. The center console, dashboard trim, and roll cage are paint-matched to the exterior, creating a cohesive presentation between the cabin and bodywork. A fire extinguisher is also fitted, while the PCM system has been deleted in keeping with the car's driver-focused configuration.
Power comes from Porsche's 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six, paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and sending power exclusively to the rear wheels. The naturally aspirated engine's motorsport-derived architecture, combined with the direct engagement of the manual transmission, forms the mechanical foundation of the GT3 RS's focused driving character. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes provide high-performance stopping capability, while the Sport Chrono Package further emphasizes the car's performance-oriented specification. An Akrapovič Catback Exhaust system further enhances the driving experience. JRZ suspension has also been fitted, adding a further level of chassis tuning to this already focused platform.
With 17,297 miles, previous ownership by Bruce Canepa, PCCB brakes, Sport Chrono Package, JRZ suspension, gold BBS wheels, and a race-focused interior, this Orange 2007 GT3 RS presents a distinctive interpretation of one of Porsche's most desirable road-going 911s. The combination of its low mileage, notable ownership history, performance-oriented equipment, and distinctive specification makes this example particularly compelling. The sale includes two keys, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and Schroth harnesses.
Inspectors Notes: This is the ultimate road-going racecar. From the factory, these are already race-derived, but when you add JRZ suspension, BBS Wheels, Carrera GT Bucket Seats, and a roll cage, you mine as well put on a helmet and hit the track! This example is in great condition and drives incredibly well.
