duPont REGISTRY Live presents this 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 3.8, showing 35,878 miles and finished in Paint to Sample Vesuvio Metallic over a Black full leather interior. Only 46 Paint to Sample examples of the Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 were built for North America, and this is the only one finished in Vesuvio Metallic, making it an especially distinctive specification. Powered by Porsche’s naturally aspirated 3.8-liter Mezger flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and rear-wheel drive, this exceptionally rare example features Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, Sport Chrono Package Plus, and a Boden Autohaus titanium exhaust. Additional highlights include 19-inch center-locking wheels, RS Gold contrast wheels and decals, carbon fiber bucket seats, and an Alcantara steering wheel with a contrasting yellow center stripe. A clean CARFAX history further complements this enthusiast-focused example.

The 997.2-generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS 3.8 represents one of the most celebrated naturally aspirated, manual-transmission iterations of the modern 911. Developed with a strong connection to Porsche’s motorsport programs, the GT3 RS combines a lightweight construction philosophy, track-focused chassis tuning, and the high-revving Mezger flat-six engine. The 3.8-liter powerplant is derived from Porsche’s racing-engine architecture and is paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transaxle, delivering a highly engaging driving experience through a traditional rear-wheel-drive configuration. Compared with the standard GT3, the RS features wider bodywork, revised aerodynamics, a more focused suspension setup, and distinctive lightweight components. As one of the final evolutions of the Mezger-powered 997 GT3 RS platform, the 3.8-liter model occupies a particularly special place among Porsche enthusiasts. With only 46 Paint to Sample examples allocated to the United States, this example’s unique color specification further distinguishes it within an already exclusive model.

The exterior is finished in Paint to Sample Vesuvio Metallic, a distinctive and uncommon color that gives this GT3 RS an unmistakable presence. Among the 46 Paint to Sample 2011 911 GT3 RS 3.8 examples allocated to the United States, this is the only one finished in Vesuvio Metallic. RS Gold contrast wheels and decals provide a striking visual contrast against the metallic finish, reinforcing the car’s motorsport-inspired appearance. The 19-inch center-locking wheels are complemented by yellow brake calipers, while dynamic cornering lights and clear tail lights add distinctive exterior details. Full-body paint protection film helps preserve the unique finish, while the GT3 RS’s widened fenders, aggressive front fascia, prominent rear wing, and functional aerodynamic elements reflect its close relationship with Porsche’s racing programs. The combination of Vesuvio Metallic paint, gold accents, and purposeful RS bodywork creates a particularly memorable specification.

Inside, the cabin features Black full leather upholstery complemented by carbon fiber bucket seats, emphasizing the GT3 RS’s lightweight, driver-focused philosophy. An Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel with a yellow center stripe provides a motorsport-inspired touch, while yellow seatbelts and door pulls carry the contrasting accent theme throughout the interior. The cockpit retains Porsche’s purposeful layout, with controls and instrumentation arranged around the driver. PCM 3.0 with extended navigation provides infotainment functionality, while the Sound Package Plus adds an upgraded audio experience. The combination of leather upholstery, exposed carbon fiber, and Alcantara detailing creates an interior that balances the RS model’s competition-derived character with the comfort and craftsmanship expected of a road-going Porsche. Plaid seat inserts are also included with the sale, providing an additional distinctive detail.

Power comes from Porsche’s naturally aspirated 3.8-liter Mezger flat-six, an engine renowned for its motorsport-derived architecture, high-revving character, and distinctive power delivery. Paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and rear-wheel drive, the drivetrain delivers the direct mechanical engagement that defines the GT3 RS driving experience. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes provide substantial stopping capability, the Sport Chrono Package Plus adds performance-oriented functionality, while the front-axle lift system provides additional clearance, adding a degree of practicality to the otherwise track-focused package. The Boden Autohaus titanium exhaust further distinguishes this example, complementing the naturally aspirated flat-six with a performance-oriented exhaust upgrade. Together, the Mezger engine, manual transmission, rear-wheel-drive configuration, and motorsport-inspired chassis make the 997 GT3 RS 3.8 one of the most engaging modern naturally aspirated Porsche models.

Showing 35,878 miles, this 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 3.8 combines a rare Paint to Sample Vesuvio Metallic finish with an enthusiast-focused collection of factory equipment and performance enhancements. Of the 46 Paint to Sample examples allocated to the United States for the 2011 model year, this is the only one finished in this distinctive color. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, Sport Chrono Package Plus, carbon fiber bucket seats, center-locking wheels, and a Boden Autohaus titanium exhaust further distinguish its specification. With its Mezger flat-six, six-speed manual transaxle, and unmistakable RS character, this GT3 RS represents a compelling opportunity for the Porsche enthusiast seeking a particularly rare 997-generation example. A clean CARFAX history further complements the vehicle, and the sale includes two keys, the original window sticker, service records, owner's booklets, and plaid seat inserts.

Inspectors Notes: This car is an absolute showstopper. The 997.2 Generation has quickly become one of, if not the most desirable GT3 RS, and this particular example is among the best to ever leave the factory. The color absolutely pops, the RS Gold accents set it off, and the titanium exhaust makes the Mezger engine scream.
