2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Starting with the 2.7 Carrera RS, “RS” variants of the 911 have become coveted for their track readiness, precision and power. Throughout the succeeding generations of 911s, the RS badge remained reserved for only the most hardcore, purpose-built road cars in Porsche’s portfolio and has become highly coveted. With a giant rear wing, large intakes, graphics and a wide track, the 991.1 GT3 RS certainly looks the part. The naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine motivates the GT3 RS to 60 in three seconds flat — impressive, but this car is about track performance and handling. It also has stiff springs, solid mounts, and many manually adjustable settings to tune the car to suit the task at hand, one of very few road cars allowed to have these race-derived refinements. Adding to the manual adjustments, trick technology like an electronically locking rear differential and rear-wheel steering transform the GT3 RS into a formidable track weapon, lapping the Nürburgring in 6:56.4, faster than the venerable Porsche 918. This 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS bears the distinction of having been first delivered to Mr. Jerry Seinfeld. As Mr. Seinfeld is a true lover of the famed manufacturer from Stuttgart, it should come as no surprise that this example was furnished with an expansive list of wonderful options. Most obvious is the splendid paint-to-sample Liquid Chrome Blue Metallic exterior. This RS features several more Porsche Special Wishes and factory options which include an axle lift, carbon-ceramic brakes, sport chrono pack, LED lighting, navigation, and a larger 23-gallon fuel tank. In total, more than $250,000 worth of options and Special Wishes were fitted to the new Porsche, resulting in a sticker price of nearly $450,000.
