Ho Chi Minh City just welcomed a new star on its streets – the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 RS painted in the brand’s iconic Guards Red. This limited‑edition track‑focused supercar is the third of its model to be spotted in Vietnam, and it arrives with a headline‑grabbing price tag of VND 17.69 billion (about US$760,000).
Design cues that scream racing heritage
The GT3 RS builds on the classic 911 silhouette but widens the body, adds aggressive carbon‑fiber splitter fronts and a massive rear wing. Porsche stripped the front luggage compartment to make way for a sophisticated cooling system borrowed straight from its factory‑raced siblings. The car rides on ultra‑light alloy wheels – 20‑inch up front and 21‑inch at the rear – with optional finishes in Pyro Red, Satin Black or Indigo Blue, each adding roughly VND 40 million to the base price.
Performance specs that thrill
Under the hood sits a naturally aspirated 4.0‑litre flat‑six boxer engine delivering 525 hp and 465 Nm of torque. Paired with a 7‑speed PDK dual‑clutch gearbox, the GT3 RS rockets from 0‑100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and tops out at 296 km/h. At the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the car posted a lap time of 6:44.848, making it the third fastest production vehicle on the track at the time.
Innovative aerodynamics
The model features an active rear wing that mirrors Formula 1’s DRS technology, allowing drivers to adjust downforce on the fly. At 200 km/h the aerodynamic package generates 409 kg of downforce, climbing to a staggering 860 kg at 285 km/h, ensuring razor‑sharp grip on the most demanding circuits.
Luxurious yet driver‑focused interior
Inside, the GT3 RS offers carbon‑fiber bucket seats as standard, with an optional 18‑way Adaptive Sports seat for added comfort. The steering wheel is equipped with multifunction rotary knobs that control driving mode, electronic balance, and traction settings, while the chassis‑balancing system can be tuned for both front and rear axles.
Pricing and options in Vietnam
The base price of VND 17.69 billion does not include the coveted Weissach Package – a roughly VND 2.7 billion add‑on that adds carbon‑fiber exterior elements, a reinforced chassis, and additional aerodynamic tweaks. Fully optioned, a GT3 RS in Vietnam can exceed VND 20 billion.
How many are in the country?
Research by Znews indicates that by the end of January 2026, at least four Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992.1) cars have been imported into Vietnam: one in Guards Red, two in white, and one in black.
What this means for enthusiasts
Seeing the GT3 RS on Saigon’s streets signals a growing appetite for ultra‑high‑performance European supercars in the Vietnamese market. For collectors, the car’s limited production run and distinctive red paint make it a potential future classic.
Whether you’re a track day aficionado or simply admire Porsche’s engineering artistry, the 911 GT3 RS delivers a blend of race‑track precision and road‑legal practicality that few competitors can match.
