The latest generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS, launched in August 2022, has turned heads in Ho Chi Minh City. Dressed in the brand’s iconic Guards Red, the third GT3 RS to roll onto Vietnamese roads showcases the perfect blend of race‑track pedigree and road‑legal exuberance.
From the Track to the Streets
Inspired by Porsche’s 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR race cars, the GT3 RS carries aggressive aerodynamic lines, a wider body, and a stripped‑down front compartment that doubles as a high‑performance cooling system. The 2024 Gumball 3000 route even featured the model, but local registrations only began in early 2026.
Key Design Elements
- Carbon‑light alloy wheels: 20‑inch front and 21‑inch rear, designed for ultra‑light handling.
- Colour options: Pyro Red, Satin Black, Indigo Blue – each adding roughly VND 40 million to the base price.
- Guards Red factory paint: the chosen hue for the first Vietnamese example, paired with the classic “GT3 RS” racing decal dating back to 2003.
Performance Specs
The heart of the GT3 RS is a naturally aspirated 4.0‑litre flat‑six boxing engine delivering 525 hp and 465 Nm of torque. Coupled with a 7‑speed PDK transmission and rear‑wheel drive, it rockets from 0–100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and tops out at 296 km/h.
On the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the car clocked a lap time of 6:44.848 in 2022, making it the third quickest production vehicle at that time.
Aerodynamics & Handling
The GT3 RS features an active rear wing that works like a DRS system on Formula 1 cars, adjusting downforce on demand. At 200 km/h the aerodynamic package creates 409 kg of downforce; at 285 km/h this climbs to a staggering 860 kg.
Drivers benefit from a rotary‑dial steering wheel that lets them tweak drive mode, electronic balance, traction control, and suspension settings without taking their hands off the wheel.
Interior & Personalisation
Standard seats are carbon‑fiber bucket racing seats, while an optional 18‑way Adaptive Sports seat offers electric adjustment for ultimate comfort. A plethora of bespoke options lets owners tailor everything from trim finishes to infotainment features.
Pricing in Vietnam
The base price for a Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Vietnam is VND 17.69 billion (approximately US$ 750,000). Fully loaded with the full suite of optional extras, the price can exceed VND 20 billion.
According to Znews, by the end of January 2026 at least four GT3 RS (992.1) units have been imported – one in black, two in white, and the guard‑red example highlighted here.
Bottom Line
With its race‑derived engineering, eye‑catching guard‑red finish, and a price tag that places it among the most exclusive supercars in Southeast Asia, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS delivers a pure, adrenaline‑charged driving experience that few can match.
