DESCRIPTION

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 was launched in 2011, and was the final development of the track-inspired series of 997 GT3 RS models. Only 600 examples were made and it was the last hurrah for the motorsport-derived Mezger flat-six that was bored out from 3.8 to 4.0 Litres, the largest displacement 911 engine ever. The normally aspirated power plant was crucially mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and achieved 494bhp at 8,250rpm. The 4.0 RS is considered by many to be one of the greatest drivers" cars of all time and according to EVO Magazine when the car was released: “It is the ultimate 911, and you could easily argue it"s all the car you"ll ever need. It will become an icon.”

This very special, left-hand drive, 4.0 Litre GT3 RS was supplied by the Porsche Centre Syd in Sweden to C09 specification and is number 387 of 600 cars built. It has covered only 3,900 miles from new and has had only 1 owner. The ECU data from the car has been checked, verified and is exemplary. There are no signs of over revs in any of the ranges and the operating hours and distances also match perfectly. The car has never been used on the track and it is presented in superb condition throughout.

Finished in Carrera White with grey decals and black leather/alcantara interior, this beautiful example was ordered with the following factory specification: half factory cage (painted white), five-point harnesses, Porsche CDR30 Radio, one-piece carbon Carrera GT bucket seats, dynamic engine mounts, Sports Chrono package, 19” Centre locking wheels, cruise control, air conditioning, tyre pressure monitoring, Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Stability Management, Alcantara roof lining, carbon dash trim, door entry guards in Carbon, Guards Red seatbelts, on-board computer, Electric and heated door mirrors, Xenon lighting system, CD compartment and a 90 litre fuel tank.

A full service history is present from the supplying dealer in Sweden and the car has been correctly stored in a temperature controlled environment. The interior smells like a new car and other than the smallest of stone chips, the exterior bodywork is in stunning order. Supplied with the very appropriate UK registration plate of: X40 LTR, this car represents superb value considering the rarity, collectability and the fact that right-hand drive examples are changing hands for well over £400,000. When new, only owners of at least 3 previous GT3 models were invited to buy a 4.0 Litre, making it one of the most desirable 911s ever made.
