The latest generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS made a striking appearance on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City this week, cloaked in the brand’s iconic Guards Red paint. It’s the third GT3 RS to roll onto Vietnamese roads, and its presence is turning heads among collectors and enthusiasts.
Launch and Local Arrival
First unveiled in August 2022, the 992‑generation 911 GT3 RS quickly became a hot commodity for collectors worldwide. While the model was showcased at the 2024 Gumball 3000 rally, its first registrations in Vietnam only occurred at the start of 2026. The current specimen is the fourth GT3 RS imported into the country, joining a black, two white, and another red unit.
Design, Aerodynamics & Exclusive Features
True to its race‑inspired pedigree, the GT3 RS boasts a wide‑track body, aggressive carbon‑fiber cut‑aways, and a stripped‑out front luggage compartment replaced by a sophisticated cooling system borrowed from Porsche’s motorsport division. The car rides on ultra‑light GT3 RS alloy wheels – 20‑inch at the front and 21‑inch at the rear – with optional finishes in Pyro Red, Satin Black, or Indigo Blue that add roughly VND 40 million.
Key aerodynamic elements include an active rear wing that operates like an F1 DRS device, delivering variable downforce from 409 kg at 200 km/h up to a staggering 860 kg at 285 km/h. The optional Weissach Package, priced around VND 2.7 billion, adds even more carbon‑fiber exterior parts and chassis balance upgrades, but the displayed car does not carry this package.
Performance Numbers
Under the hood sits a naturally aspirated 4.0‑liter flat‑six boxer engine producing 525 hp (525 PS) and 465 Nm of torque. Power is delivered through a seven‑speed PDK dual‑clutch transmission with rear‑wheel drive. The GT3 RS rockets from 0‑100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and tops out at 296 km/h. In 2022, it conquered the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6:44.848, making it the third‑fastest production car on the track at that time.
Interior and Driver Aids
The cabin is a blend of race‑ready functionality and luxury. Standard bucket seats are wrapped in carbon‑fiber, while buyers can opt for 18‑adjustable Adaptive Sports seats. The steering wheel features a rotary dial that lets drivers toggle driving modes, electronic balance, and traction‑control settings on the fly. A suite of electronic stability and suspension controls ensures the car remains planted whether on a track or a winding mountain road.
Pricing in Vietnam
Officially, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS starts at VND 17.69 billion (approximately US$750,000). Fully loaded with all optional extras, the price can exceed VND 20 billion. Compared with other high‑performance imports, the GT3 RS remains one of the most exclusive and expensive models available in the Vietnamese market.
What to Expect if You’re Buying
Prospective owners should be aware that import duties, registration fees, and optional packages can quickly push the total cost beyond the base price. Porsche Vietnam offers a bespoke personalization program, allowing buyers to tailor paint, interior trims, and performance upgrades to their exact tastes.
Whether you’re a collector chasing the rarity of a Guards Red GT3 RS or a driver seeking track‑ready performance, the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS delivers a blend of heritage, technology, and pure excitement that few cars can match.
