A unique example of a purist performance hero goes up for auction.
Porsche’s GT lineup is one of the most venerated families of performance cars in the automotive world. Known for their exclusivity and their reputable ability to dominate tracks across the globe, Porsche’s GT cars represent the ultimate expression of the manufacturer’s track-focused performance engineering chops.
Currently at the top of Porsche’s GT food chain is the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, which in the 992 generation goes above the standard GT3 with its RS, or “Race Sport,” tweaks. Incredibly advanced active aerodynamics, a massive 518 horsepower from its naturally aspirated engine, and lightweight construction make the latest generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS one of the greatest track-focused cars to emerge from the manufacturer yet.
Porsche used a bespoke version of the 911 GT3 RS, created in collaboration between Sonderwunsch and Porsche Cars Canada to celebrate the opening of the Porsche Experience Center in Toronto, complete with the Weissach Package and a special livery with the colors and motifs of Canada’s flag to showcase the historic brand’s milestone moment in the country.The interior also features Canadian-themed colors, with seat inserts in a red and white rendition of Porsche’s iconic “Pepita” houndstooth fabric pattern.
First debuted at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show, the car had its own bespoke Chronograph 911 GT3 RS timepiece and a special 1:18 scale model that matches. In partnership with RM Sotheby’s the legendary auction house, the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto 911 GT3 RS is being auctioned for charity, presenting an opportunity to own the unique bespoke creation, as well as the matching watch and scale model. Bids for the car will be accepted until 3 pm ET on July 1, 2025, when the new owner of Porsche’s commemorative track-focused performance machine will be named.
