One of the stars of the upcoming Silverstone Auctions Salon Privé Sale on Saturday, 3rd September will undoubtedly be the 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 pictured above.
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.
Ordered new from Porsche Stuttgart, this car was exported and delivered to Japan where it resided with its enthusiast owner until earlier this year. It's finished in Carrera White with contrasting Carrera GT Silver wheels and is trimmed in Black leather and Black Alcantara, complimenting the exterior perfectly and resulting in a stunning and eminently desirable 911.
Having covered an indicated 27,000 miles, this RS has been regularly enjoyed and well-maintained annually with the service record showing four stamps. Presented with its book pack and import/NOVA documents the car is now ready to be registered, enjoyed and continue to be cared for.
The car’s full description can be found on the Silverstone Auctions website here. The full lot list of sale items can be found here.
