The Porsche 997 GT3 is simply an incredible car. It is the race car for the street. The 997 generation of the Porsche 911 is one of the best loved modern generations.
Most people prefer the 997 exterior styling and interior quality over the 996 generation that it replaced. While all 911s are very special cars, the 997 generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 is certainly one of the most special of the modern era.
The 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the latest rendition of the German performance car maker’s race car for the street. With specs of 520 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of 3.0 seconds flat, the GT3 RS is most at home on the track.
Now, it can also be driven on the road and will easily pass any slower traffic. Of course you’ll know the exact location of even the smallest crack or pebble on the road.
Not long after the recent Porsche 911 R was released examples were being sold for half a million dollars. The MSRP of the exclusive performance car started at $185,950, considerably less than what the 911 R would fetch shortly after its release.
Recently, the special Porsche has started to come back down to earth. Where prices between $450,000 – $650,000 were common for a while prices have fallen to between $250,000 – $375,000 depending on condition and mileage.
The Porsche 996 GT2 and 996 GT3 RS are blue chip collector cars. While the 996 generation of the 911 is one of the least loved incarnations of the rear engined sports car, these are important cars for the brand.
The GT2 and GT3 RS both represent the top performance variants of the 996 generation 911. The 911 GT2 is the top performing turbocharged 996 and the 911 GT3 RS is the fastest naturally aspirated 996.
Aston Martin has unveiled their new customer racing Vantage GT3 and GT4. The competition machines will make their first public appearance at the top endurance race in the world; the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 will make its racing debut this weekend in the Michelin Aston Martin Racing Le Mans Festival. Both costumer racing machines are the polar opposite of the British performance car maker’s road cars. Where those are luxurious GT cruisers, the GT3 and GT4 are stripped no-nonsense motorsport machines. Having said that, they are still gorgeous to behold.
Here are all the details we know at this time.
