When the Porsche GT3 was launched as a new model in the late 90’s, it was an overwhelming success. All GT3s have become some of the most sought after modern collectibles Porsche has ever offered. The famous Metzger engines were the foundation of all the 996 and 997 GT3s. This motor has become one of the best engines ever built. It is considered incredibly reliable and able to handle gobs of power. The RS 4.0 was the last of these engines. The new 991s have gone away from this engine design and have already been plagued with engine rebuilds and recalls.
The 2nd Generation GT3’s have seen a bump in value as buyers for the 911’s have migrated back to the 997.2 models. With their displacement growing from 3.6 to 3.8 liters, these race-ready streetcars now saw 435hp and 317lb ft. tq. The owner of this GT3 wanted the power of the new GT3 RS 4.0 without feeling guilt about enjoying a car with values now reaching the $300,000 range. So, he built is own 4.0 creating over 500hp.
The owner of this Porsche purchased it new on July 29th, 2009 from Porsche of Beverly Hills, California. He is a mature enthusiast who enjoys driving Porsches with his son. He wanted the ultimate Porsche that was comfortable enough to drive around town as well as 1,000-mile drives to some of the top local tracks. He made sure that this GT3 was nicely equipped with all the right options. The MSRP totaled over $135,000.

The car has never been raced and carefully used at only 6 driver’s education events. About 3,000 miles ago, he decided he wanted more powerful and better handling without sacrificing reliability or comfort. He decided to enlist the help of 911 Design, owned and operated by Loren Beggs. They were responsible for the engine upgrade. Also, Stuttgart Performance helped provide further performance details. Both of these shops are highly regarded by some of the top Porsche enthusiasts in California.

In total, this owner invested well over $50,000 with some of the top local builders making the ultimate driver’s GT3.
The condition of the car is excellent. The paint looks like new as the clear bra has protected it. It looks more like it has been a regular visitor to the concours lawn. There are no dents or signs of misuse. There are a couple spots where the clear bra has some nicks and some scratches on the underside of the Cup front plastic splitter. That’s about it. The interior is equally nice and looks like new with no signs of wear. The Carrera GT3 carbon fiber/Alcantara seats are wonderfully supportive without sacrificing comfort for longer drives. The RSS roll bar is nicely fitted with no alteration to the body and can easily be unbolted and removed. All the gauges and controls function properly.
The car is an absolute joy to drive. It is tight and responsive and feels just as the factory would build it. The sequential shifting system is a joy to use; making missed shifts a thing of the past. This is huge in preserving the life of the engine.
California registration is paid through August of 2015
