The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS has rolled into Ho Chi Minh City in striking Guards Red, priced at VND 17.69 billion. Learn its specs, options, and why it’s Vietnam’s latest supercar sensation.
The latest generation of Porsche’s track‑focused 911 GT3 RS has turned heads in Ho Chi Minh City, arriving in the marque’s iconic Guards Red. With a headline price of VND 17.69 billion (about USD 730,000), the car is quickly becoming the benchmark supercar for Vietnam’s growing high‑performance market.
Design & Aerodynamics
Unveiled in August 2022, the 992‑generation GT3 RS draws its styling cues from the racing versions 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR. The body is wider, the front splitter is enlarged, and the traditional front luggage compartment is replaced by a sophisticated cooling system borrowed from Porsche’s motorsport lineup.
Standard wheels are ultra‑light forged aluminum – 20‑inch up front and 21‑inch at the rear – with optional finishes in Pyro Red, Satin Black or Indigo Blue that add roughly VND 40 million to the purchase price.
The car’s aerodynamic kit includes an electrically‑actuated rear wing that works like a DRS element on Formula 1 cars, giving the driver on‑demand rear‑downforce. At 200 km/h the system can generate up to 409 kg of downforce, rising to 860 kg at 285 km/h.
Performance Figures
- Engine: 4.0‑litre naturally aspirated flat‑six boxer
- Power: 525 hp (388 kW) @ 7,500 rpm
- Torque: 465 Nm @ 6,000 rpm
- Transmission: 7‑speed PDK dual‑clutch
- 0‑100 km/h: 3.2 seconds
- Top speed: 296 km/h (184 mph)
- Nürburgring lap: 6:44.848 (third‑fastest production car in 2022)
Interior & Driver Aids
The cockpit is a race‑car‑inspired blend of carbon‑fiber bucket seats (standard) and optional 18‑position Adaptive Sports seats. A dedicated rotary switch on the steering wheel lets the driver toggle driving mode, electronic balance, and grip control settings. The chassis features a rear‑wheel steering system and adjustable suspension for track‑ready handling.
Pricing & Availability in Vietnam
The base price for the GT3 RS in Vietnam is VND 17.69 billion. Adding the full suite of optional equipment – carbon‑fiber exterior pieces, the Weissach Package (which alone costs around VND 2.7 billion) and bespoke interior trim – can push the total price beyond VND 20 billion.
As of the end of January 2026, Znews’ research shows that at least four GT3 RS units (992.1 chassis) have been imported: one in Guards Red, two in white, and one in black. The red specimen is the third GT3 RS known to have taken Vietnamese plates.
Why It Matters
Beyond the eye‑catching hue, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS represents a shift in Vietnam’s luxury automotive segment. Its participation in the 2024 Gumball 3000 rally and its Nürburgring record underline Porsche’s commitment to bringing genuine track performance to the road, a proposition that resonates with affluent collectors and driving enthusiasts alike.
Whether you are a seasoned aficionado or a newcomer to the supercar world, the GT3 RS sets a new bar for what a road‑legal race car can be in the Southeast Asian market.
