A brand‑new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the latest 992.1 generation, was spotted cruising the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City in the iconic Guards Red paint. This marks the third RS to arrive in Vietnam, and it carries a headline price of VND 17.69 billion (around USD 760,000).
Spotlight on the Guards Red GT3 RS
Unlike most road‑legal sports cars, the GT3 RS is a direct descendant of Porsche’s track‑focused 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR race cars. The Vietnamese example retains the race‑inspired wide‑body shell, aggressive front splitter, and a massive rear wing that can be adjusted electronically—mirroring the DRS system used in Formula 1.
Race‑Inspired Design
The car’s body is deliberately wide, with pronounced wheel arches that blend carbon‑fiber accents and functional air intakes. Porsche has eliminated the front trunk entirely, replacing it with a sophisticated cooling system borrowed from its competition models.
Standard wheels are ultra‑light alloy: 20‑inch fronts and 21‑inch rears, each featuring the distinctive multi‑spoke GT3 RS design. Buyers can opt for special finishes—Pyro Red, Satin Black, or Indigo Blue—for an additional VND 40 million.
Heart‑Pounding Performance
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 to the rear wheels via Porsche’s 7‑speed PDK dual‑clutch gearbox.
- 0‑100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds
- Top speed of 296 km/h
- Lap time of 6:44.848 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife (2022 record for a road‑legal model)
The aerodynamic package generates 409 kg of downforce at 200 km/h and a massive 860 kg at 285 km/h, keeping the car glued to the asphalt even in high‑speed corners.
Luxurious Yet Focused Interior
The cabin blends race‑day practicality with everyday comfort. Standard bucket seats are wrapped in carbon‑fiber‑reinforced fabric; an optional 18‑way Adaptive Sports seat adds electric adjustments. The steering wheel features rotary switches for driving mode, electronic balance, and traction controls.
Pricing and Availability in Vietnam
Base pricing starts at VND 17.69 billion. Fully optioned, with the Weissach Package (which adds extra carbon‑fiber aero parts, a front‑axle anti‑roll bar, and weight‑saving measures) the price can exceed VND 20 billion. The Weissach Package alone is priced around VND 2.7 billion, but the current Guards Red example does not include it.
According to Znews’s tracking, by the end of January 2026 at least four Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992.1) units have been imported into Vietnam: one in black, two in white, and the Guard Red specimen currently on the road.
Why Collectors Are Eyeing This Model
With its limited run, race‑derived technology, and eye‑catching colour, the GT3 RS is a prized addition to any supercar collection. Its presence in Southeast Asia underscores a growing appetite for hyper‑performance machines, and the price tag reflects both exclusivity and the high level of engineering Porsche delivers.
For enthusiasts looking to experience a track‑ready Porsche without stepping onto a circuit, the 911 GT3 RS in Vietnam offers a rare, thrilling opportunity.
