The newest generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, launched in August 2022, has turned heads in Ho Chi Minh City. Dressed in the brand‑classic Guards Red, the supercar is the third of its type spotted on Vietnamese roads.
Launch, Gumball 3000 and Local Debut
Since its debut, the 911 GT3 RS has been a favourite among collectors for its race‑inspired design, borrowing cues from the 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR prototypes. The car even featured in the 2024 Gumball 3000 rally, showcasing its high‑performance pedigree before finally receiving Vietnamese registration in early 2026.
Design & Aerodynamics
Built for speed, the RS version sports a broader body, aggressive carbon‑fiber cut‑outs and a front‑axle luggage bay replaced by a sophisticated cooling system derived from Porsche’s motorsport technology. The car rides on ultra‑light multi‑spoke alloy wheels—20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear.
Buyers can choose from three distinct finish options: Pyro Red, Satin Black or Indigo Blue, each adding roughly VND 40 million to the base price.
The standard Guards Red paint is complemented by a heritage “GT3 RS” racing badge that dates back to 2003. Aerodynamically, the RS boasts a larger footprint than the 911 Carrera (4,572 mm × 1,900 mm × 1,322 mm) with a 2,457 mm wheelbase, delivering up to 409 kg of downforce at 200 km/h and a massive 860 kg at 285 km/h.

- Engine: 4.0 L naturally‑aspirated flat‑six
- Power: 525 hp (390 kW)

The RS also features an active rear wing reminiscent of Formula 1 DRS, allowing drivers to adjust rear downforce on the fly.
Interior & Driver Aids
Inside, the cockpit comes standard with carbon‑fiber bucket seats, while an optional 18‑way Adaptive Sports seat offers electric adjustments. The steering wheel includes rotary knobs for drive mode, electronic balance, traction control and suspension settings, giving the driver full command over the car’s dynamics.
Pricing & Options
In Vietnam, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS starts at VND 17.69 billion (approximately US$750,000). Fully loaded with optional equipment—such as the coveted Weissach Package, which adds carbon‑fiber exterior parts and chassis reinforcements—the price can easily exceed VND 20 billion.
Vietnam Market Presence
According to Znews, by the end of January 2026 at least four 992.1‑generation 911 GT3 RS units have been imported: one in Guards Red, two in white and one in black. This limited availability underscores the model’s exclusivity in the region.
For enthusiasts eager to own a piece of Porsche’s racing heritage, the 911 GT3 RS represents a rare blend of track‑ready performance and everyday drivability—now on the streets of Vietnam.
