Discover the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS cruising Ho Chi Minh City in iconic Guards Red, priced at 17.7 billion VND ($770k). Read the full specs and local market insight now!
The newest generation of Porsche’s track‑derived 911 GT3 RS has turned heads on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, arriving in the brand’s historic Guards Red paint. This is the third RS to roll onto Vietnamese roads, and it carries a price tag that pushes the limits of the local super‑car market.
Design and Aerodynamics
The 992.1‑series GT3 RS showcases an aggressive, race‑ready silhouette. A wider body, massive air intakes and a stripped‑out front luggage compartment make room for a high‑capacity cooling system borrowed from Porsche’s competition cars. Lightweight multi‑spoke alloy wheels – 20‑inch up front and 21‑inch at the rear – complete the visual package.
Buyers can choose from three factory finish options: Pyro Red, Satin Black or Indigo Blue. Each adds roughly VND 40 million (≈$1,700) to the base price. The Hong Kong‑market‑favourite Guards Red, however, was selected for the Vietnamese debut, complemented by the iconic “GT3 RS” race‑badge that has graced the model since 2003.
Performance Figures
Under the hood sits the naturally aspirated 4.0‑liter flat‑six boxer engine, delivering 525 hp and 465 Nm of torque. Paired with a seven‑speed PDK dual‑clutch gearbox, the GT3 RS rockets from 0–100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and hits a top speed of 296 km/h.
On the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the 2022 test car recorded a lap time of 6:44.848, making it the third quickest production sports car of its era. Aerodynamically, the car generates up to 409 kg of downforce at 200 km/h and a staggering 860 kg at 285 km/h, thanks to an active rear wing that works similarly to Formula 1’s DRS system.
Interior and Driver Aids
The cabin blends race‑car minimalism with Porsche’s signature luxury. Standard bucket seats are carbon‑fiber‑reinforced, while an optional Adaptive Sports seat offers 18‑way electric adjustment. The steering wheel features extra rotary switches for dynamic driving modes, electronic balance control, and traction management.
Pricing and Market Availability
In Vietnam, the GT3 RS starts at VND 17.69 billion (about $770,000). Fully optioned – including the coveted Weissach Package with carbon‑fiber exterior elements and rear‑axle balance shafts – the price can exceed VND 20 billion.
According to Znews’s automotive tracker, by the end of January 2026 at least four GT3 RS units (992.1) have been imported: one black, two white, and the highlighted red example. The limited supply and high price keep the model firmly in the realm of ultra‑wealthy enthusiasts.
What This Means for Vietnamese Supercar Buyers
The arrival of a street‑legal, race‑focused Porsche in Vietnam signals a growing appetite for true performance machines. With its blend of track technology, striking aesthetics, and a price that rivals many exclusive hypercars, the 911 GT3 RS sets a new benchmark for the local market.
For collectors looking to make a statement – or for drivers eager to taste Porsche’s purest racing DNA on public roads – the GT3 RS offers an unrivaled package, albeit at a price only a handful can afford.
