With the 911 GT3 RS Tribute to Jo Siffert, Porsche is paying tribute to the late Swiss racing driver.
Jo Siffert’s legacy as a legendary Swiss racing driver continues to inspire racers and car lovers worldwide. Known for his passion and relentless drive, Siffert’s spirit lives on in a unique tribute by Porsche. The one-off Porsche 911 GT3 RS, designed and crafted by the Porsche Sonderwunsch Manufaktur, pays homage to Siffert’s iconic victories, particularly the memorable win at Zeltweg in 1969 with the Porsche 917. The tribute car features nods to the original 917, including Viper Green accents and the iconic number “29” on various areas of the car.
The Siffert family’s involvement in this special project adds a deep personal touch, with his son Philippe and grandson Jérémy participating in the configuration process. This special GT3 RS showcases both the design characteristics reminiscent of the 917 and also the extensive customization options available through Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program. The attention to detail is obvious throughout every inch of the GT3 RS, from the classic Porsche lettering to the modern sponsor decals. The exterior’s Pure White paint, contrasted by Viper Green sections, mirrors the original race car’s livery, while the interior features a refined racing atmosphere with Race-Tex materials and bespoke touches like Siffert’s signature.
This tribute Porsche celebrates Jo Siffert’s enduring influence and Porsche’s rich racing heritage. The Sonderwunsch program’s ability to transform dreams into reality shines through in this commemorative chassis. The tribute 911 GT3 RS embodies the essence of “Driven by Dreams,” symbolizing the passion that Jo Siffert brought to the world of motorsport.
