The latest generation of Porsche’s track‑focused 911 GT3 RS has turned heads in Ho Chi Minh City, cruising the streets in the brand’s iconic Guards Red. With an eye‑watering price tag of VND 17.7 billion (about USD 750,000), the supercar is quickly becoming a benchmark for exotic performance vehicles in Vietnam.
Design that Shouts Performance
Inspired by Porsche’s 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR race cars, the 992.1‑series GT3 RS boasts a wider body, aggressive front splitter, and a rear wing that doubles as an air brake. The front luggage compartment is replaced by a sophisticated cooling system borrowed from Porsche’s motorsport pedigree.
Buyers can choose from three factory finishes:
- Pyro Red – a bright, eye‑catching lacquer.
- Satin Black – a sleek, understated hue.
- Indigo Blue – a deep, metallic shade.
Each color option adds roughly VND 40 million to the base price. The car in Vietnam features the traditional Guards Red paint, paired with the classic “GT3 RS” racing livery that dates back to 2003.
Thrilling Performance Numbers
Under the hood sits a naturally aspirated 4.0‑litre flat‑six boxer engine delivering 525 hp and 465 Nm of torque. Power is sent through a seven‑speed PDK dual‑clutch gearbox to the rear wheels.
- 0–100 km/h (0‑62 mph): 3.2 seconds
- Top speed: 296 km/h (184 mph)
- Lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife: 6:44.848 (third‑fastest road car in 2022)
Aerodynamics & Advanced Tech
The GT3 RS features a dedicated aerodynamic package that generates up to 409 kg of downforce at 200 km/h and a staggering 860 kg at 285 km/h. A highlight is the electrically‑actuated rear wing, reminiscent of Formula 1’s DRS system, allowing drivers to fine‑tune rear‑end pressure on the fly.
While the ultra‑light “Weissach Package” – which adds carbon‑fiber exterior parts and chassis balance bars – is available for an additional VND 2.7 billion, the Vietnamese examples spotted so far do not include this option.
Driver‑Centric Interior
Inside, the GT3 RS offers a stripped‑down, race‑ready cabin:
- Carbon‑fiber bucket seats (standard) or optional 18‑way Adaptive Sports seats.
- Steering wheel with rotating paddles for drive mode, electronic balance, and traction control.
- Customisable digital displays and lightweight interior trim.
Owners can personalize numerous elements, from interior stitching to bespoke infotainment settings.
Pricing & Market Outlook in Vietnam
The base price for a Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Vietnam starts at VND 17.69 billion. Fully loaded with all available options, the price can exceed VND 20 billion, positioning the car among the country’s most expensive new‑car imports.
According to Znews, by the end of January 2026 at least four GT3 RS units have been imported: one in black, two in white, and the Guards Red example currently seen on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City.
Why Collectors Are Excited
The GT3 RS is not just a road‑legal supercar; it’s a halo model that bridges Porsche’s racing heritage with everyday driveability. Its limited production run, distinctive colour options, and the rarity of the Weissach Package make it a coveted prize for high‑net‑worth enthusiasts in Southeast Asia.
Final Thoughts
With its jaw‑dropping performance, race‑inspired aerodynamics, and eye‑catching Guards Red finish, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is setting a new benchmark for high‑end sports cars in Vietnam. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a performance aficionado, this machine promises an exhilarating blend of heritage and cutting‑edge technology.
