This week's first pick from Elferspot is about as extreme as a current 911 gets: a 992 GT3 RS with the Weissach Package and close to $48,000 in factory options. The second is a Rubystone Red 964 Carrera RS, a Japanese-market car with 15,783 kilometers that heads to auction without reserve in January. And the third is the “Negroni,” a 1979 911 SC that Build2Sample turned into an S/T-inspired widebody, then backed up with a 61-page independent appraisal.
The GT3 RS shows where Porsche's aero and chassis engineering has landed today, with nothing held back. The other two are lighter and more analogue, but they get there by very different routes: one was built that way by Porsche in 1992, the other was rebuilt that way by Build2Sample from the engine out. As always, we've kept the history to what helps explain each car.
This week's trio: two RS cars 31 years apart and a restomod that brought its own paperwork.
2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS With Weissach Package
GALLERY-EMBED
White is about the least unusual color you can order on a 992 GT3 RS, and on this car it works in its favor. Collective Auto Group is offering the 2023 car with 14,123 miles and roughly $48,000 in factory options. With nothing loud in the paint, your eye goes straight to the exposed carbon and all that aero hardware. Inside, there's Black Leather and Race-Tex with deviated red stitching, and you sit in carbon bucket seats.
The $33,520 Weissach Package makes up most of the option spend. Past that, the spec stays on task: the extended-range fuel tank, black PDLS headlights, illuminated carbon-fiber door sills, a leather-covered steering column, black door pulls and a Race-Tex center console. You won't find comfort extras here. Somebody ordered this car around the RS hardware, which is exactly how we'd do it.
The naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six makes 525 PS and sends it to the rear wheels through PDK. Active aerodynamics, a centrally mounted radiator and DRS combine for up to 860 kilograms of downforce at 285 km/h, about 177 mph, and you can adjust damping, differential and traction settings right from the steering wheel. Collectors hunting delivery-mile cars should know going in that 14,123 miles puts this one outside that club. If you actually plan to drive your RS, that's the appeal: a properly specified car you won't feel guilty adding miles to.
1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS in Rubystone Red

Rubystone Red is enough on its own to make a 964 Carrera RS stand out. This Japanese-market car adds just 15,783 kilometers, which is under 10,000 miles, and a documented history that runs back to its first owner. It left the factory on April 2, 1992, in Rubystone with the Violet, Rubystone and Fraise seat centers that give the cabin its look. RM Sotheby's will offer it without reserve from The Boeckmann Collection on January 28, 2027, with an estimate of $450,000 to $500,000.
The Japanese service booklet logs routine maintenance from 1992 through 1996, with the last early entry at 9,990 kilometers. The car stayed in Japan until it came to the U.S. in December 2019, then joined The Boeckmann Collection in November 2022, and both the booklet and the Japanese-language owner's manual are still with it. According to RM Sotheby's, 235 of the 1,987 Carrera RS cars built for the 1992 model year left the factory in Rubystone Red. If you're bidding, it's worth asking what paperwork covers the years after 1996, when the last 5,800 or so kilometers were added.
The 964 RS brought the Rennsport badge back to a road-going 911 after a long absence. Porsche started with the rear-drive Carrera 2 and took out weight wherever it could, with thinner glass, an aluminum front lid and a stripped interior, to get down to roughly 1,220 kilograms. The 3.6-liter flat-six was tuned to 260 PS and paired with a five-speed manual and a limited-slip differential, and the suspension was stiffened to suit. Low-mileage RS cars already sit in serious collector territory, but Rubystone paint and early Japanese history push this one further. With no reserve, wherever the hammer falls should be a useful read on the market.
1979 Porsche 911 SC “Negroni” by Build2Sample
GALLERY-EMBED
You won't mistake the “Negroni” for any other restomod. Polyantha Red paint, an S/T-inspired wide body and a brown leather cabin see to that. Build2Sample built the 1979 911 SC around a DP-Motorsport CWB conversion, widening the front and rear while keeping the look deliberately period, and trimmed the inside in bespoke two-tone leather with red details and a Porsche California wooden steering wheel and gear knob. It's offered privately in Germany with 15,000 kilometers showing, at EUR 240,000.
The work goes a lot deeper than the skin. Build2Sample took the original 3.0-liter flat-six apart and rebuilt it, including the cylinder heads, intake and exhaust passages and ignition, then added Weber carburetors and an Eisenmann sports exhaust for a documented 180 PS. If you shop restomods by horsepower, that figure won't wow you. The five-speed manual was refurbished and given a short-shift conversion, and the chassis got Bilstein dampers, rebuilt suspension components and an overhauled braking system.
EUR 240,000 is a lot of money for an SC, and you're paying for the build rather than the car underneath it. That's why the paperwork matters so much. Automotive expert Rainer Wilming completed a 61-page appraisal in June 2024 and gave the car an overall condition grade of 1, with excellent marks for the body, paint, underbody and mechanicals. A restomod has no factory rarity to lean on, so it all comes down to execution, and this one arrives with an independent answer on that question.
