The street-legal homologation, 996-based GT3 model was introduced in 2000 in the tradition of the Carrera RS 2.8. They were powered by a highly modified 3.6-liter, liquid-cooled, flat-six, naturally aspirated engine (unlike the Turbo and GT2 model which received their power from a turbocharger). Offering over 400+ brake horsepower and an 8,600 RPM redline, the GT3 R were homologated for FIA GT and IMSA American Le Man Series (ALMS) competition. They also had a close-ratio six-speed gearbox and wider rear bodywork. The interiors were stripped and all non-essential materials were removed. They were fitted with a full roll cage, racing seats, fire suppression system, and other competition enhancements. These lightweight race cars helped continue Porsche's long-running dominance of international GT-class endurance racing.
The lineup of drivers included Bob Wollek, Dirk Muller, Lucas Luhr, Sascha Maassen, Mark Neuhaus, Grady Willingham, Michael Brockman, Randy Wars, and the late Paul Newman. With this lineup of stellar drivers, Dick Barbour Racing thoroughly dominated the ALMS in 2000, winning nine of 12 events that year, and ultimately, the GT Championship.
This GT3 R competition-spec model wears number 15 and was piloted by Brockman, Wars, and Newman at the 2000 Petit Le Mans held at Road Atlanta. The passenger door panel has been signed by Randy wars and Dick Barbour.
The car was purchased in September of 2005 where it remained on display until 2010. The previous owner sold the car in 2010 to the current driver, who continued to vintage race the Porsche at several events. The car was thoroughly prepared for racing after it was acquired by the current owner later in 2010. It was then used at the Mitty in Atlanta in April 2011, the Kohler International Challenge at Road America in July, and at the Porsche Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca in November of the same year. It also won a reserve award at the Road & Track Concours d'Elegance held in conjunction with the Kohler International ChallengeBy Daniel Vaughan | May 2013
