Estimate band for good road cars. 1 documented sales since 2019 plotted below.
Band and axis shown in EUR. Sale positions use indicative fixed-rate conversion to EUR; sale readouts retain recorded currencies. Indicative band for correct, documented cars in Europe. Exceptional sub-500-kilometre examples can exceed it; repaired or heavily tracked cars can sit below it.
Instrument calibration for this file is in progress — the terminal above reads the documented record directly.
Reported auction results are retained in EUR. Buyer-premium treatment follows each auction house's published result.
Overview
Rennsport returned after the GT3
The first 996 GT3 arrived in 1999. Porsche updated it in 2003 to 381 PS and 306 km/h, then used that base for a narrower homologation brief: the GT3 RS.
The RS stripped mass from glass, body panels and cabin trim, added adjustable suspension hardware and fixed its visual identity to white paint with red or blue details. It sat between a road GT3 and the competition-only RSR without pretending the two were the same car.
Published production totals were once inconsistent, but Porsche-market auction documentation now regularly identifies 682 examples. Individual histories remain more important than the headline count because many cars saw track use.
