Extremely Rare Porsche 911 GT3 RSR Is Now For Auction

A Porsche 911 GT3 RSR that's practically a time capsule has just hit the scene at RM Sotheby's St. Moritz auction, and it's causing quite a stir. What's the buzz about? Well, this beauty is a standout because it's had just one owner right from the start, and surprisingly, it's never tasted the thrill of a racetrack.

With a mere 12.4 miles clocked on its odometer, all of which are said to be from pre-delivery testing, this is one exceptionally preserved piece of history.

This specific Porsche 911 GT3 RSR is from the 997-generation batch, and they didn't make many—only 35, to be exact. The car was handed over to Widberg Motorsport AG on April 24, 2008. Now, let's talk numbers: The anticipated sale price is estimated to fall between CHF650,000 and CHF750,000, which in dollars is roughly around $735,000 to $848,000.

The engine under the hood is a gutsy 3.8-liter flat-six, flexing its muscles to deliver a solid 485 horsepower. And here's the fun part: all that power gets elegantly channeled to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential transmission. The engine's rev limit? A thrilling 9,000 rpm.

If you're eyeing this pristine piece of automotive history, you're in for a treat. Along with the car's exceptional condition and rarity, you'll get an Automobile Club l'Ouest technical passport, an FIA homologation form dating back to 2007, and a Porsche Motorsport Datenblatt. Now, with the limited production numbers, the almost mint condition, and its unique journey, it's safe to say that this listing is set to turn the heads of collectors.
