A Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Guards Red arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, priced at VND 17.7 billion. See specs, rarity and why it’s buzzing Vietnam’s supercar scene.
The latest Porsche 911 GT3 RS, painted in the brand’s signature Guards Red, was recently spotted cruising the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. With a headline price of VND 17.7 billion, the car instantly became the talk of Vietnam’s elite automotive community.
New Generation, Classic Inspiration
First unveiled in August 2022, the 992‑generation GT3 RS draws heavily from Porsche’s race‑proven 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR machines. Its aggressive, wide‑track bodywork and razor‑sharp lines echo the spirit of the track, while cutting‑edge cooling technology borrowed from motorsport replaces the traditional front luggage compartment.
Rare Sight on Vietnamese Roads
Although the model has already featured in high‑profile events like the 2024 Gumball 3000, the first GT3 RS to receive Vietnamese registration only appeared in early 2026. To date, Znews reports that four units have been imported: one in black, two in white, and the Guards Red example now on the road.
Design & Aerodynamics
The GT3 RS boasts a dramatically widened silhouette—measuring 4,572 mm long, 1,900 mm wide and 1,322 mm tall—with a 2,457 mm wheelbase that improves stability at speed. Highlights include:
- Carbon‑fiber rear wing with an electrically actuated DRS‑style flap, delivering up to 860 kg of downforce at 285 km/h.
- 20‑inch front and 21‑inch rear forged‑aluminium wheels, wrapped in ultra‑light, multi‑spoke GT3 RS rims.
- Optional paint finishes: Pyro Red, Satin Black or Indigo Blue, each adding roughly VND 40 million.
- Standard GT3 RS race‑style steering wheel with rotary switches for driving mode, electronic balance, and traction control.
Performance Figures
Under the hood sits a naturally aspirated 4.0‑litre flat‑six boxer engine delivering 525 hp at 7,500 rpm and 465 Nm of torque. Coupled with a 7‑speed PDK dual‑clutch transmission, the car propels from 0–100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and tops out at 296 km/h. In 2022 the GT3 RS completed the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6:44.848, making it the third‑fastest production car on the legendary track at that time.
Pricing & Options
The base price in Vietnam starts at VND 17.69 billion (approximately USD 720,000). Adding the full suite of optional equipment—such as carbon‑fiber exterior trims, the Weissach Package (an extra VND 2.7 billion), and bespoke interior appointments—can push the total well beyond VND 20 billion.
Impact on Vietnam’s Supercar Market
The arrival of the GT3 RS underscores the growing appetite for ultra‑high‑performance machines among Vietnamese collectors. Its limited availability, striking design, and track‑derived technology make it a benchmark for future supercar introductions in the region.
For enthusiasts eager to experience the GT3 RS firsthand, test drives are expected to be offered at select Porsche dealerships in Ho Chi Minh City later this year.
