2011 Porsche 911

2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (997.2) 6-Speed Coupe: 1 of around 14 N.A-spec 4.0 units finished in Black with a Leather Interior in Black with Black/Red Seats in Leather/Alcantara. Only 600 departed the factory during the model's single model year of 2011 with around 158 making their way to North America. The GT3 RS 4.0 upholds the Mezger-powered 911 in its ultimate, naturally aspirated evolution, representing the pinnacle of this legendary engine's road-ready form. Unit 076/600 boasts the familiar top and side stripes featured in silver and red while showcased on black finished wheels with red calipers subtly peeking through. Its cabin is visually elevated by carbon fiber door sills featuring RS 4.0 insignia, red completed door pulls, stitching, center steering wheel marker, shift handle, and door arm rest regions.

This 11,XXX-mile example was optioned with the following equipment (original MSRP of $194,325): Black/Red Leather Seat Trim; Wheels Painted Black; Dynamic Cornering Lights; Clear Glass Tail Lights; Auto Dimming Exterior Mirrors with Rain Sensor; Sound PKG Plus; PCM 3.0 with Extended DVD Navigation; XM Radio; Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone Interface; Aluminum Driver Side Foot Rest; Sport Chrono PKG Plus; Alcantara Sun Visors; Cupholders; Black; Floor Mats in Interior Color; Universal Audio Interface.

The Allure: At the time of its production, the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 came powered by the largest naturally aspirated flat-six ever coupled to a 911, delivering an unrivaled 125 horsepower per liter; the highest output of any naturally aspirated Porsche engine, during its era. This motorsport-derived 4.0-liter unit utilizes forged pistons, titanium connecting rods, and a crankshaft sourced directly from the GT3 RSR race car. It produces a thunderous 500 horsepower with an 8,250 redline and 339 lb-ft of torque and was only offered with a six-speed manual transmission; 0 to 60 mph happens in just 3.8 seconds and 193 mph serves as its top speed.

Weight savings play a crucial role in its dynamic prowess, with a generous use of lightweight materials. Carbon fiber front fenders, a lightweight luggage compartment lid, and weight-optimized carpeting contribute to its overall weight reduction. A wide track, low stance, and an aggressive rear wing with side plates define its dominant presence, while centrally mounted dual tailpipes and a precision-optimized aerodynamic package ensure optimal efficiency. This was the first production Porsche to feature front dive planes (also known as flics) which generate additional front-end downforce. When combined with the assertively angled rear wing, these elements work together to create 426 lbs of downforce at its 193 mph top speed, keeping the RS 4.0 firmly planted at high speeds.
