The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS has arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, painted in iconic Guards Red and priced at over VND 17.7 billion (~$760k). Discover specs and options now!
The latest generation of Porsche’s track‑focused GT3 RS has made a splash on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, sporting the brand’s classic Guards Red paint. This is the third 911 GT3 RS to be spotted in Vietnam, and it carries a price tag that tops VND 17.7 billion (roughly US$760,000).
Design cues from the racetrack
Unveiled globally in August 2022, the 992‑generation 911 GT3 RS draws heavily from Porsche’s own racing machines – the 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR. The body is wider than the Carrera, with aggressive air intakes, a pronounced rear wing and a roof‑line that tapers sharply toward the rear. To maximize cooling, the conventional front luggage compartment is replaced by a purpose‑built air‑cooling system borrowed from Porsche’s endurance prototypes.
Lightweight forged wheels
Standard equipment includes ultra‑light GT3 RS aluminium alloy wheels – 20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear. Buyers can elect bespoke finishes such as Pyro Red, Satin Black or Indigo Blue for an additional VND 40 million.
Exterior colour – Guards Red
The flagship example that rolled out of the showroom is finished in Porsche’s heritage Guards Red, complemented by the iconic “GT3 RS” racing stripe and badge that have been part of the model’s identity since 2003.
Dimensions and aerodynamics
Measuring 4,572 mm long, 1,900 mm wide and 1,322 mm tall, the GT3 RS sits on a 2,457 mm wheelbase – longer than the standard 911 Carrera. An optional Weissach Package (priced near VND 2.7 billion) adds carbon‑fiber exterior elements, front and rear anti‑roll bars and extra weight‑saving measures, but the showcased car does not include this package.
Active rear wing – a nod to F1 DRS
The RS features an electrically actuated rear wing that can adjust its angle of attack on demand, much like the Drag Reduction System (DRS) used in Formula 1. This technology allows drivers to fine‑tune downforce for high‑speed stability or reduced drag for straight‑line performance.
Driver‑focused cockpit
The steering wheel is equipped with rotary switches that let the driver select drive mode, electronic balance, and traction control settings on the fly. Inside, the cabin comes standard with carbon‑fiber bucket seats, while an optional Adaptive Sports Seat offers 18‑way electric adjustment.
Powertrain
At its heart lies a naturally aspirated 4.0‑litre flat‑six boxer engine delivering 525 hp at 7,500 rpm and 465 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via Porsche’s 7‑speed PDK dual‑clutch gearbox.
Performance figures
- 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph): 3.2 seconds
- Top speed: 296 km/h (184 mph)
- Lap time at Nürburgring Nordschleife: 6:44.848 (third‑fastest production car in 2022)
- Downforce: 409 kg at 200 km/h, 860 kg at 285 km/h
Pricing and market presence in Vietnam
Officially listed at VND 17.69 billion, the base price already places the GT3 RS among the most expensive cars available locally. With all optional equipment installed, the total cost can exceed VND 20 billion (about US$860,000).
According to Znews’ tracking, by the end of January 2026 at least four 911 GT3 RS units (992.1 chassis) have been imported into Vietnam: one in Guards Red, two in white and one in black. Their arrival reflects a growing appetite among Vietnamese collectors for high‑performance, limited‑edition Porsche models.
What’s next for the GT3 RS in Vietnam?
Enthusiasts can expect more GT3 RS sightings at exclusive track days and auto shows, especially as Porsche expands its dealer network and service capabilities across the country. For those considering a purchase, early engagement with an authorised Porsche dealer is advisable to secure desired options and colour combinations.
Stay tuned for the latest updates on pricing, availability and test‑drive opportunities for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Vietnam.
