Vietnam welcomes the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, priced at VND 17.7 bn. Explore its specs, exclusive Guards Red finish, and why collectors are racing for it – read more!
The latest generation of Porsche’s track‑focused 911 GT3 RS has turned heads in Ho Chi Minh City, arriving in the brand’s iconic Guards Red finish. It’s the third RS model to roll onto Vietnamese roads and the most talked‑about supercar of the year.
Design cues from the racetrack
Born in August 2022, the 992.1‑series GT3 RS draws heavy inspiration from Porsche’s 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR race cars. The wide‑body shell is sculpted with aggressive apertures, a stripped‑out front luggage compartment and a cooling system borrowed directly from the track version.
Lightweight wheels and striking colour options
The car sits on a set of ultra‑light GT3 RS forged aluminium wheels – 20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear. Buyers can choose from Pyro Red, Satin Black or Indigo Blue, each adding roughly VND 40 million to the base price. The debut model, however, dazzles in the traditional Guards Red with the classic “GT3 RS” racing badge that has adorned the model since 2003.
Dimensions and aerodynamics
Compared with the standard 911 Carrera, the RS is larger and lower: 4,572 mm long, 1,900 mm wide and 1,322 mm tall, with a wheelbase stretched to 2,457 mm. Its signature aerodynamic package generates up to 409 kg of downforce at 200 km/h, surging to 860 kg at 285 km/h, thanks to an active rear wing that functions much like the DRS system on Formula 1 cars.
Performance figures
- Engine: 4.0‑litre naturally‑aspirated flat‑six
- Power: 525 hp
- Torque: 465 Nm
- Transmission: 7‑speed PDK dual‑clutch
- 0–100 km/h: 3.2 seconds
- Top speed: 296 km/h
- Nürburgring lap: 6:44.848 (2022)
Interior and driver aids
The cabin is a blend of race‑car ergonomics and everyday usability. Standard bucket seats are carbon‑fiber‑wrapped, while an optional Adaptive Sports seat offers 18‑way electric adjustment. The steering wheel features rotation‑adjustable paddles for driving mode, electronic balance, and traction control. A suite of electronic aids lets the driver fine‑tune suspension, differential and rear‑wheel steering on the fly.
Pricing and market presence in Vietnam
Local listings start at VND 17.69 billion (around US$ 760,000). Fully optioned, the price can climb past VND 20 billion. As of late January 2026, at least four 992.1 GT3 RS models have been imported – one in black, two in white, and the Guards Red example that sparked this story.
Why collectors are buzzing
The absence of the optional Weissach Package – a VND 2.7 billion add‑on that adds carbon‑fiber components and chassis balance bars – makes the current offering a rare blend of track‑ready performance and street‑legal practicality. For enthusiasts seeking a cutting‑edge Porsche that lives up to the brand’s racing heritage, the GT3 RS is the ultimate prize.
