Porsche 911

2024 PORSCHE 911 GT3 RS (992) WEISSACH PACKAGE — JAPANESE MARKET SPECIFICATION

Engine and Drivetrain

The 911 GT3 RS is powered by Porsche’s 4.0-litre naturally aspirated horizontally opposed six-cylinder petrol engine displacing 3,996 cc. The Japanese listing rounds this to 4,000 cc; the manufacturer figure of 3,996 cc is the one recorded against this vehicle because displacement drives HS classification and cc-banded duty in several destination markets. Output is 525 PS (386 kW) at 8,500 rpm and 465 Nm of torque at 6,300 rpm, with a 9,000 rpm rev limit. The engine uses direct petrol injection, individual throttle bodies and a 13.3:1 compression ratio, and it is not turbocharged — the CarSensor equipment matrix explicitly records this unit as not being a forced-induction model. Drive reaches the rear axle alone through a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch transmission with GT-specific shortened ratios. The required fuel grade in Japan is premium unleaded (ハイオク).

Chassis, Steering and Brakes

The GT3 RS uses double-wishbone front suspension derived from Porsche’s 911 RSR racing car, with ball-jointed links in place of rubber bushings and multi-way adjustable dampers, springs and anti-roll bars that can be set from the cabin. Rear-axle steering and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus with a mechanically locking rear differential are standard. This unit is fitted with the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system, identifiable by its yellow calipers, and with the front-axle lift system that raises the nose for steep driveways and ramps. The wheels are the optional lightweight forged magnesium centre-lock items in a painted finish, mounted on staggered ultra-high-performance tyres.

Dimensions and Capacities

Overall length is 4,575 mm, width 1,915 mm and height 1,320 mm on a 2,457 mm wheelbase, with a minimum turning radius of 5.3 m. Kerb weight is 1,525 kg as recorded on the Japanese catalogue and registration sheet; Porsche’s own DIN figure for a Weissach-specified car is lower, and the Japanese figure is used here because it is the one that governs shipping and destination duty assessment. The cabin seats two in a single row behind two doors.

Performance

Porsche quotes 0–100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 296 km/h for the 992 GT3 RS. The reduced top speed relative to lesser 911 models is a consequence of the car’s very high downforce configuration rather than a power limitation.

Exterior

The body is finished in Ice Grey Metallic with red GT3 RS lettering along the flanks. The Weissach Package adds carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic for the bonnet, roof, mirror caps and anti-roll bars, together with further weight reduction inside the car. Aerodynamic hardware includes a fixed swan-neck rear wing with a Drag Reduction System, hydraulically adjustable front diffuser flaps forming Porsche Active Aerodynamics, a front splitter, wheel-arch louvres, side blades and a full rear diffuser. The centre-exit sports exhaust and LED headlights are standard. The CarSensor condition report records the paint as original and never resprayed.

Interior and Seating

The cabin is trimmed in black Race-Tex with red contrast stitching and accents. Two full bucket seats with six-point harnesses face a Race-Tex steering wheel carrying a 12 o’clock centring marker. This car carries the Clubsport Package with its carbon-fibre roll cage behind the seats, a Weissach identification plate set into the carbon door sill, GT3 RS sill guards, lightweight door panels with fabric pull straps, and a Porsche Design chronograph mounted centrally on the dashboard. Air conditioning, power windows, keyless entry and a smart key are fitted. Heated, ventilated or electrically adjusted seats are not fitted, and the car has neither a sunroof nor leather upholstery, all of which is consistent with the lightweight RS specification.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Porsche Communication Management drives a central touchscreen with display audio supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with Bluetooth and wired smartphone audio connection. A reversing camera and obstacle sensors are fitted. A factory satellite-navigation module, ETC toll transponder, television tuner and dashcam are recorded as not fitted on this unit — a Japanese-market ETC unit in particular is a common dealer-fit item that an importing buyer would not normally require.

Driver Assistance and Safety

Fitted driver assistance comprises collision-mitigation autonomous emergency braking, cruise control, obstacle sensors, a reversing camera, electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes, and the car carries Japanese “Safety Support Car” (サポカー) certification. Passive protection includes driver, front passenger, side and curtain airbags alongside the carbon-fibre roll cage and six-point harnesses. Lane-keeping assist, a surround-view camera system, automatic high beam and pedal-misapplication mitigation are recorded as not fitted.

Condition and Provenance

The vehicle is a registered but unused car (登録済未使用車) showing 31 km from new, first registered in 2024, with no accident or repair history recorded and a clean Japanese roadworthiness certificate. The dealer describes it as having been stored indoors. Because it has been registered, it is recorded as used rather than new: destination customs assess vehicle age from the first-registration date, not from the odometer reading.
