The latest iteration of Porsche’s track‑focused 911 GT3 RS has turned heads in Ho Chi Minh City, arriving in the brand’s iconic Guards Red paint. This marks the third GT3 RS to hit Vietnamese roads and underscores the growing appetite for ultra‑high‑performance supercars in Southeast Asia.
Design, Aerodynamics and the Weissach Package
Unveiled in August 2022, the 992‑generation GT3 RS draws direct inspiration from Porsche’s 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR race cars. The model features a wide‑body shell, aggressive carbon‑fiber splitters and a rear wing that can be electrically adjusted—mirroring the DRS system found in Formula 1.
Key dimensions set the RS apart from the standard 911 Carrera: 4,572 mm in length, 1,900 mm wide, 1,322 mm tall, with a 2,457 mm wheelbase. The front luggage compartment is replaced by a high‑performance cooling system borrowed from the racing platform.
While many buyers opt for the optional Weissach Package (valued at roughly VND 2.7 billion), the detected vehicle does not include it. That package adds carbon‑fiber exterior trims and additional chassis bracing at both the front and rear, pushing performance and weight reduction to the next level.
Wheels, Colours and Personalisation
The GT3 RS rides on ultra‑light forged‑aluminium wheels—20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear. Porsche offers three primary finishes: Pyro Red, Satin Black and Indigo Blue, each adding about VND 40 million to the base price.
The owner of the Vietnamese example chose the traditional Guards Red paint, complemented by the classic “GT3 RS” racing badge that dates back to 2003.
Powertrain and Performance Figures
- Engine: 4.0‑litre naturally aspirated flat‑6
- Power: 525 hp (390 kW) at 7,500 rpm
- Torque: 465 Nm (343 lb‑ft) at 6,000 rpm
- Transmission: 7‑speed PDK dual‑clutch
- 0‑100 km/h (0‑62 mph): 3.2 seconds
- Top speed: 296 km/h (184 mph)
In 2022 the car lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6:44.848, making it the third fastest production car on the circuit at the time. Aerodynamic downforce reaches 409 kg at 200 km/h and peaks at 860 kg when the speed climbs to 285 km/h.
Interior, Technology and Driving Aids
Inside, the GT3 RS comes standard with carbon‑fiber bucket seats, while an optional Adaptive Sports seat provides 18‑way electric adjustment. The steering wheel is equipped with rotary switches that let drivers tweak the driving mode, electronic balance, and traction‑control settings on the fly.
Additional electronic aids include a rear‑wheel‑drive system, active suspension, and a sophisticated chassis‑balance system that works in concert with the active aero wing.
Pricing, Availability and Local Market Insight
Officially, Porsche lists the GT3 RS in Vietnam at VND 17.69 billion (approximately US$750,000). Fully loaded with every optional extra, the price can exceed VND 20 billion.
According to Znews research, by the end of January 2026 at least four GT3 RS units (992.1 chassis) have been imported: one in black, two in white, and the Guards Red example featured in this story.
What This Means for Vietnam’s Supercar Scene
The arrival of yet another high‑spec Porsche underscores Vietnam’s emerging status as a market for flagship sports cars. With limited supply, bespoke colour choices, and the allure of race‑derived technology, the GT3 RS is poised to become a collector’s gem in the region.
Enthusiasts and prospective buyers alike can expect the GT3 RS to retain its exclusivity, while Porsche continues to expand its dealer network and after‑sales support across the country.
