The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS has arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, priced at VND 17.7 billion (~$760K). Explore its specs, design and exclusive options – learn more now.
In August 2022 Porsche unveiled the all‑new 911 GT3 RS, instantly becoming a magnet for collectors worldwide. Inspired by the track‑dominant 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR race cars, the limited‑edition model blends aggressive aerodynamics with everyday usability.
First sights in Vietnam
The latest GT3 RS made a surprise appearance on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City this spring, painted in the brand’s classic Guards Red. It is the third 911 GT3 RS spotted in the country, joining a black and two white examples that were imported earlier this year.
Design and Aerodynamics
Key design cues include a wider body, sharp carbon‑fiber cut‑lines, and the removal of the front luggage compartment in favor of a race‑derived cooling system. The car sits on ultra‑light aluminium multi‑spoke wheels – 20‑inch up front and 21‑inch at the rear. Buyers can choose finish colours such as Pyro Red, Satin Black or Indigo Blue for an additional VND 40 million.
One of the most notable features is the electrically‑controlled rear wing, operating on the same principle as Formula 1’s DRS system. Drivers can electronically adjust the down‑force from 409 kg at 200 km/h up to a staggering 860 kg at 285 km/h, tailoring grip to the road or track conditions.
Performance Figures
- Engine: 4.0‑litre naturally aspirated flat‑six boxer
- Power: 525 hp (390 kW)
- Torque: 465 Nm
- Transmission: 7‑speed PDK dual‑clutch
- 0–100 km/h: 3.2 seconds

Dimensions and Handling
The GT3 RS is larger than the standard 911 Carrera, measuring 4,572 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,322 mm in height, with a wheelbase stretched to 2,457 mm. The chassis features a balanced front‑and‑rear suspension, an electronic differential, and a suite of drive‑mode selectors on the steering wheel for optimal traction and handling.
Interior and Customisation
Inside, the car comes standard with carbon‑fiber bucket seats, while an optional 18‑way Adaptive Sports seat offers personalized comfort. The cabin can be further tailored with carbon‑trim, bespoke stitching, and a range of infotainment upgrades.
Pricing and Options
In Vietnam, the base price for the 911 GT3 RS starts at VND 17.69 billion (approximately US$760 k). Adding the full suite of optional equipment—such as the coveted Weissach Package (valued at around VND 2.7 billion) and extra carbon‑fiber exterior parts—can push the final price beyond VND 20 billion.
Market Presence
According to Znews, by the end of January 2026 at least four 911 GT3 RS (992.1 generation) have been imported into Vietnam: one in Guards Red, two in white, and one in black. The model’s rarity and track‑ready pedigree are fueling strong demand among the country’s ultra‑wealthy car enthusiasts.
Why the GT3 RS Matters
Beyond its blistering performance, the 911 GT3 RS represents Porsche’s commitment to delivering race‑derived technology to road‑legal supercars. Its active aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and driver‑focused cockpit make it a benchmark for high‑performance coupes worldwide.
Whether you are a seasoned collector or an aspiring enthusiast, the arrival of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Vietnam underscores the growing appetite for truly exotic, track‑capable machines in the region.
