Porsche 911

2026 PORSCHE 911 GT3 RS (992) — JAPAN-REGISTERED LEFT-HAND-DRIVE SPECIFICATION

Engine and Drivetrain

The GT3 RS uses Porsche's 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, displacing 3,996 cc on a 102.0 mm bore and 81.5 mm stroke, with dry-sump lubrication, four valves per cylinder, rigid finger followers, individual throttle bodies and direct petrol injection at a 13.3:1 compression ratio. Rated output is 525 PS (518 hp / 386 kW) at 8,500 rpm with 465 Nm at 6,300 rpm, and the limiter is set at 9,000 rpm. Drive goes to the rear wheels alone through a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch transmission with shorter overall gearing than the 911 GT3, an electronically controlled rear differential lock and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus. Porsche quotes 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 296 km/h, the latter limited by the aerodynamic configuration rather than by power. The listing rounds displacement to 4,000 cc; the manufacturer figure of 3,996 cc is the one recorded here because several destination tariffs band duty on displacement.

Chassis, Steering and Brakes

Double-wishbone front suspension replaces the 911's usual strut layout, with ball joints throughout and a wider track, and the car carries rear-axle steering plus Porsche Active Suspension Management with dedicated RS damper maps. The driver adjusts compression and rebound damping at both axles independently, along with the rear differential and the Drag Reduction System, using four rotary controls on the steering wheel. Wheels are centre-lock, 9.5J x 20 inches at the front and 12.5J x 21 inches at the rear, and on this car they are the optional forged magnesium items in satin bronze, shod with 275/35 ZR20 and 335/30 ZR21 tyres. The turning circle is 5.3 metres.

Aerodynamics

Porsche Active Aerodynamics on the 992 GT3 RS combines a two-stage active front diffuser with an active rear diffuser and a two-part fixed rear wing mounted on swan-neck supports, whose upper element is hydraulically adjustable. The Drag Reduction System opens that upper element on straights to shed drag and closes it automatically under braking or as lateral acceleration builds. Porsche states the configuration produces roughly three times the downforce of the 991.2 GT3 RS and about twice that of the contemporary 911 GT3.

Dimensions and Capacities

Japanese registration records this car at 4,575 mm long, 1,915 mm wide and 1,320 mm tall on a 2,457 mm wheelbase, with a registered kerb weight of 1,525 kg; Porsche's own European figures are 4,572 x 1,900 x 1,322 mm and a DIN kerb weight of 1,450 kg, falling to about 1,430 kg with the Weissach Package and magnesium wheels. The Japanese registration figures are the ones used here because they are what the export documents carry and what container cubing must clear. Front luggage capacity is 132 litres and the fuel tank holds 64 litres of 98 RON unleaded.

Exterior

The car is finished in White with the Weissach Package's exposed carbon-weave roof and bonnet left unpainted, along with carbon-fibre mirror caps and side air intakes. GT3 RS decals run along the flanks and the rear decklid carries the model script. Lighting is LED with the Porsche Dynamic Light System, and the exhaust exits through titanium tailpipes. The rear deck is cut with cooling louvres, and NACA-style ducts in the bonnet feed the front brakes.

Interior and Seating

This is a strict two-seater with the rear seats deleted and a carbon-weave rear roll cage bolted in behind the occupants. Both seats are full carbon-backed buckets trimmed in Race-Tex with red contrast stitching; the same Race-Tex covers the steering wheel rim, which carries a yellow 12-o'clock marker. The Weissach RS plaque sits on the carbon dashboard trim ahead of the passenger, the door panels are the lightweight items with textile pull loops in red, and GT3 RS door-sill guards are fitted.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Porsche Communication Management with memory-based navigation is fitted, together with a reversing camera and a Japanese-market ETC toll transponder. Instrumentation is the GT3 RS-specific cluster with a central rev counter and selectable track screens, including the aerodynamic-state display that shows DRS and diffuser positions in real time.

Driver Assistance and Safety

Active systems comprise Porsche Stability Management, ABS, traction control, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, rear-axle steering and tyre-pressure monitoring, with front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera assisting at low speed. Cruise control is fitted. Passive protection is by driver, front-passenger and side airbags, three-point belts, the bolted roll cage and Porsche Side Impact Protection. No Euro NCAP or JNCAP crash rating is published for this model.

Condition and Japanese Registration Status

The car is a 登録済未使用車 — registered in Japan but never used — showing 50 km on the listing and 54 km on the instrument cluster in the dealer's own photographs. It has no accident or repair history, comes with its statutory inspection record book, and is an official import (正規輸入車) rather than a parallel import. Its Japanese roadworthiness certificate (shaken) runs to April 2029, which on a first three-year term places first registration in April 2026, and the selling dealer adds its own unlimited-mileage warranty to the same date. Because the car has been registered, destination customs will assess its age from that registration date and not from the odometer.
