Overview
The latest-generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS, launched in August 2022, has quietly entered the Vietnamese market. The striking “Guards Red” example was spotted cruising the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, becoming the third GT3 RS known to have rolled onto Vietnamese roads.
Design & Aerodynamics
Inspired by the track‑only 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR, the new GT3 RS features a wider body, aggressive air intakes and a rear‑focused aerodynamic package. The front luggage compartment is replaced by a cooling system borrowed from Porsche’s racing program, and a lightweight, multi‑spoke aluminium wheel set—20‑inch up front and 21‑inch at the rear—completes the visual punch.
Buyers can choose from Pyro Red, Satin Black or Indigo Blue finishes, each adding roughly VND 40 million to the base price. The car on display wears the brand‑historic “Guards Red” paint, paired with the iconic GT3 RS racing badge that dates back to 2003.
One of the most exciting technical touches is the electrically‑controlled rear wing, which operates on the same principle as Formula 1’s DRS system. Drivers can adjust downforce on the fly, tailoring grip to the road or track conditions.
Performance Specs
Under the hood sits a naturally aspirated 4.0‑liter flat‑six boxer engine delivering 525 hp at 7,500 rpm and 465 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven‑speed PDK dual‑clutch gearbox. Acceleration from 0–100 km/h (0‑62 mph) is claimed at 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 296 km/h (184 mph).
The GT3 RS can generate up to 409 kg of downforce at 200 km/h and a staggering 860 kg at 285 km/h, thanks to its extensive aerodynamic package. A lap at the Nürburgring Nordschleife was recorded at 6:44.848, making it the third‑fastest production car on the circuit at the time.
Pricing & Market in Vietnam
In Vietnam, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS starts at VND 17.69 billion (approximately US$ 720,000). Opting for the full suite of customisations—such as carbon‑fiber exterior trim, a Weissach Package (which alone adds nearly VND 2.7 billion), and the Adaptive Sports 18‑way electronically adjusted seats—can push the price well beyond VND 20 billion.
Because the Weissach Package is not standard on the displayed car, its price reflects the base specification without those additional carbon‑fiber enhancements.
Availability & Colours
Research by Znews indicates that by the end of January 2026, at least four 911 GT3 RS (992.1) units have been imported into Vietnam: one in black, two in white and the Guards Red example featured in this story.
These limited numbers underline the model’s exclusivity and the growing appetite among Vietnamese super‑car enthusiasts for track‑focused hyper‑cars.
Conclusion
The arrival of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Vietnam marks a milestone for the country’s emerging high‑performance car market. With its race‑derived technology, eye‑catching red paint, and price tag in the multi‑billion‑dong range, the GT3 RS sets a new benchmark for what discerning buyers can expect from a true supercar.
