Supercar Fest Sale of Iconic and Classic Cars 2023 20th May 2023

87 + buyers premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) on the first £300,000 of the hammer and 10% plus VAT (12% incl VAT) thereafter For over 20 years, Porsche’s GT3 has cemented its legend within the 911 dynasty, one which enhances the 911’s natural penchant for performance with additional flair and emotion. Powered by a high- revving, naturally aspirated flat-six linked to the rear wheels by - ideally - a manual gearbox, the GT3 is the purist’s 911. In February 2021, Porsche introduced the GT3 version of the eighth- generation 911, the 992. The numbers were very impressive; 3,996cc, 24v, naturally aspirated flat-six, 503bhp @ 8,400rpm, 347lb/ft @ 6,100rpm, 6-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds, 199mph and 22mpg, however, it’s not simply numbers that separate it from its predecessor, the much revered 991. A new front suspension design utilised a double wishbone set-up rather than MacPherson struts and rose-joints allowing Porsche’s engineers to increase camber stiffness, and give the front tyres a far more consistent surface contact patch. In order to maximise the benefit of the performance from the double-wishbone set-up at the front, the multi-link rear suspension was also totally revised. Weight was saved in a number of areas including lightweight glass, new front wheels, new rear fascia, stainless exhaust and a carbon rear lid resulting in the new car weighing the same as the 991 GT3 even though it’s physically larger. In 2017 the ‘Touring Package’ was introduced giving a new focus to the GT3’s capabilities. It’s brief, to refine the magic of the Motorsport department and make this 911 more suited to the road. Still retaining the winged GT3’s explosive 500bhp engine, the Touring’s more subtle styling proved captivating. The most obvious difference is the omission of the standard car’s distinctive swan-neck fixed rear wing replaced by an automatically extending rear spoiler which generates downforce at high speeds whilst maintaining the classic ‘flatback’ 911 profile. In the case of the 992 GT3 there are only a few aesthetic details that distinguish the Touring from its be-winged sibling including painted front bumper inserts, aluminium window trim (rather than black anodised) and more interior surfaces trimmed in perforated leather and brushed aluminium. Offered here is essentially a brand new 992 GT3 Touring offered from its first and only owner and finished in Shark Blue with a black extended leather/Alcantara interior. At the time of cataloguing just 723 miles had been covered from new and this particular example is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox. The car is supplied with factory-fitted PPF and the Manufacturers Warranty remains valid until November 2025. The full specification is listed below: These are very rare cars and almost impossible to find. We understand that less than 50 911 (992) GT3 Touring models with a manual gearbox arrived in the UK with, we imagine, the majority of these now tucked away in private collections.
