The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS has arrived in Vietnam, flaunting a classic Guards Red paint and a price north of 17.7 billion VND. Discover its specs and options now!
The latest generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS rolled onto the streets of Ho Chi Minh City in a striking Guards Red finish, marking the third known example of the model in Vietnam. Priced at roughly 17.7 billion VND (about US$760,000), the car instantly became the talk of the local super‑car community.
Launch and Global Highlights
Unveiled in August 2022, the 992‑generation 911 GT3 RS quickly earned a reputation for its race‑inspired styling and blistering performance. The model drew design cues from Porsche’s 911 GT3 R and the legendary 911 RSR endurance racers. It even made a cameo in the 2024 Gumball 3000 road rally, showcasing its street‑legal gallop alongside other hypercars.
Design & Aerodynamics
Built for speed, the GT3 RS features a wider body, aggressive air intakes, and a missing front luggage compartment that has been replaced by a race‑derived cooling system. The car rides on ultra‑light forged‑aluminum wheels—20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear. Buyers can select from three paint finishes: Pyro Red, Satin Black, or Indigo Blue, each adding roughly VND 40 million to the base price.
The inaugural Vietnamese owner opted for the brand‑iconic Guards Red, complemented by a “GT3 RS” racing badge that dates back to the 2003 model year. A dedicated aerodynamic package gives the car a length of 4,572 mm, width of 1,900 mm and height of 1,322 mm, with a wheelbase stretched to 2,457 mm—significantly larger than the 911 Carrera.
While the GT3 RS can be equipped with the coveted Weissach Package (worth nearly VND 2.7 billion), the spotted example does not carry it. The Weissach option adds carbon‑fiber exterior trim, additional chassis stiffening, and a host of lightweight components.
Performance Figures
- Engine: 4.0‑litre naturally aspirated flat‑six, 525 hp (383 kW) @ 7,500 rpm
- Torque: 465 Nm @ 5,500 rpm
- Transmission: 7‑speed PDK dual‑clutch
- 0–100 km/h: 3.2 seconds
- Top speed: 296 km/h (184 mph)
- Lap time Nürburgring: 6:44.848 (recorded in 2022)
One of the GT3 RS’s standout features is an electronically controlled rear wing that operates on the same principle as Formula 1’s DRS system, allowing drivers to vary down‑force on demand. The steering wheel also includes rotary knobs for dynamic driving mode, electronic balance, and traction control adjustments.
Interior & Personalisation
The cabin offers carbon‑fiber bucket seats as standard, with an optional 18‑way Adaptive Sports seat for added comfort. Buyers can customise virtually every surface, from leather stitching to carbon fibre trim, ensuring the car reflects personal taste.
Pricing & Options in Vietnam
In Vietnam, the base price for a Porsche 911 GT3 RS starts at VND 17.69 billion. Fully loaded with every available option—including premium paint, bespoke interior, and the Weissach Package—the price can exceed VND 20 billion.
Presence in the Vietnamese Market
According to Znews’ automotive tracker, at least four GT3 RS units (992.1 chassis) had been imported to Vietnam by the end of January 2026: one in Guards Red, two in white, and one in black. The recent red example is the latest addition, underscoring the growing appetite for high‑performance Porsche models among Vietnamese collectors.
Whether you’re a track enthusiast or a connoisseur of automotive engineering, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS represents a rare blend of racing pedigree and street‑legal usability—now available on the bustling roads of Vietnam.
