2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Coupe

The limited edition Porsche RS 4.0 was the ultimate iteration of the 997-generation 911, featuring lightweight carbon body panels, a wider body, unique suspension geometry with monoball components, and increased downforce. Mounted at the rear was the flat-six Hans Metzger engine which had powered every Porsche 911 since 1964. In various configurations and forms, it was used to capture victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Paris-Dakar Rally. Andreas Preuninger, head of GT cars for Porsche, described the RS 4.0 as having been 'built around the engine.'

Modifications to the engine included a crankshaft borrowed from the 911 GT3 RSR racing car and forged titanium pistons. Displacing four liters, it was the largest displacement 911 engine ever produced, creating 125 hp/liter with 500 total horsepower at 8,250 rpm.

The Porsche GT3 RS 4.0 was the last Rennsport 911 to feature three pedals and a stick.

This example has 1,794 miles on its odometer. Its DME report shows zero over revs in any of the six computer-monitored ranges.

Finished in Carrara White and ordered with only sport-focused options totaling over $11,000, limitation number 504 features Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) and Sport Chrono package without PCM. Exclusive options include dashboard, door panel tops, side center console, and rear side panels all with red deviated stitch and a foot rest in aluminum. The interior contains a pair of original carbon bucket seats.
