For many Porschephiles, the 911 GT3 may be the ultimate expression of the rear-engined sports car. Notorious for having way too many variants within the 911 family, ranging from the Carrera 2 to the Turbo S models, the GT3 and its unhinged GT2 brethren represent the purest form of performance oriented 911 models. While we eagerly await for the new 992 generation 911 GT3 to launch, this 2008 GT3 may be a quick fix for the impatient at a fraction of the price.
With just 32,000 miles on its odometer, this pristine 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 boasts a 3.6-liter flat-six engine that generates 415 hp at 7,600 rpm. It’s mated to a satisfying six-speed manual transmission with a locking differential that delivers power to the rear wheels. Finished in a striking Meteor Grey Metallic hue, the 911 GT3 also has paint protection film applied to protect its gleaming coat.
Wearing the 911 GT3 badge also means this Porsche has front and rear fascias that are aggressively styled, with a center-exit exhaust system and a fixed rear spoiler. The car also features a number of custom modifications such as lowered suspensions, OZ racing wheels, and red-painted four and six-piston brake calipers.
Inside, the bolstered seats are finished in suede-like Alcantara and black leather. A three-spoke steering wheel and an Alcantara headliner are other notable elements of this Porsche’s interior. When this 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 hit the auction block last month, it fetched a winning bid of $74,997. A relative bargain for this high-performance beauty if you ask us.
