2010 Porsche 997 GT3 RS GEN II

Described by the majority of respected performance motoring magazines as "The best driver's 911 yet", the outstanding GT3 RS Generation 2 was introduced by Porsche in May of 2010 to great critical acclaim. A lot of this journalistic enthusiasm was generated by its wholesome 444bhp output delivered in an almost linear form which, in the right conditions, whistled this Gen II car up to 60mph in 3.9 secs, 100mph 4.5 secs later and on to a top speed of 195mph with the horizon approaching rapidly. Effectively a 'Carrera Cup' car for the road, the mind blowing straight line performance was matched by its competent and predictable handling owing much to the underpinnings and suspension settings being derived from several years of competition experience with GT3s. The ride/handling balance is exceptional and the cabin is civilised, resulting in a very quick car that can comfortably be used daily. There are 911s and then there's the 911 GT3 RS.

We at Silverstone Auctions are big fans of these special cars and this one owner, immaculate, left-hand drive, GT3 RS Gen II is certainly no exception. This car was supplied new in 2010 to a customer in Bahrain with Royal family connections, where it has completed a mere 1500 kms in five years.

This car has obviously received meticulous attention and care during its short life, none more so than since its arrival in the UK and recently received a "One hundred and eleven point" check at the Porsche Centre in Portsmouth (with any relevant advisories dealt with and all the filters and fluids replaced).

Beautifully finished in Carrera White with a Black interior, this left hand drive example is supplied with all bills and receipts for the servicing recently carried out, including brand new tyres and the brilliant Akrapovič exhaust system; this thoroughbred "road racer' is on the button and ready to go.

All the UK registration processes, MOT Valid until August 2016 and VAT liabilities have been taken care of, resulting in a competitively priced, high-performance road car designed for everyday use. Only Porsche can blend these two characteristics together so effectively.
