The Porsche 911 GT3 is a high-performance version of the Porsche 911 primarily intended for racing, and named after the FIA Group GT3 class in which it was designed to compete, whilst the iconic "RS" moniker is only ever attached to the very best and most extreme race-cars-for-the-road produced by Porsche, beginning with the 1973 911 Carrera RS. These RS cars are often only produced for the road to allow for homologation to enable Porsche to compete in various racing categories, generating the mystique and high-regard in which they are always held.

In May 2010, Porsche introduced the second generation 911 GT3 RS (often known as 997.2 GT3 RS) to great critical acclaim. It was described by every creditable performance motoring journal as 'the best driver's 911 yet'. The 3.8-litre flat-six – up from 3.6-litres in the previous 997 RS – produces 444bhp at 7900rpm, giving the car a 0-60 mph time of 3.9 secs and a 0-100 mph time of 8.4 secs, on the way to a top speed of 193 mph. The Gen ll GT3 RS is effectively a 'Carrera Cup' car for the road, with weight saving measures including a titanium exhaust, it was only available with a motorsport-derived six-speed manual gearbox, and the car's mind-blowing performance combined with racing-derived suspension, and an exceptional ride/handling balance, allows the possibility of daily usage for a privileged few. It was really only a few in the UK - with just 35 examples officially imported by the UK dealer network.

This 2010 Porsche 911 (997) GT3 RS is a desirable Generation II model with the 3.8-litre engine which was supplied new to Malaysia in right-hand drive and is finished in Carrera White with red wheels and red decals. The car was never registered in its destined country and then made its way to Hong Kong, where it remained in a collection, but also unregistered.

Factory options include:

Clubsport package

Dynamic engine mounts

Acoustic package

Instrument cluster dials in black

Differential lock

Gear lever, steering wheel, handbrake and roof lining in Alcantara

Seat belts in Guards Red

19-inch GT3 wheels with centre lock

Rear fog light

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)

Electric Damper Control (PASM)

6-speed manual transmission

Tyre pressure monitoring

Rear wiper delete

Optional Extras

Black roll cage

Lightweight headlamps

Lightweight bucket seats

Universal audio interface

Prior to the sale, this GT3 RS will have been the recipient of a full service at an Official Porsche Centre and an MoT. Full UK taxes and duties have been paid, and a NOVA reference number obtained, ready for the future purchaser to start the UK registration process with the DVLA. Showing only 1,400 miles, this car is supplied with its service book and Porsche wallet. Rarely do GT3 RS models come to market in this specification and with such low mileage making this an exceptional prospect.
