Under the rear lid sits the naturally aspirated 3.6-litre 'Mezger' flat-six, delivering 409bhp to the rear wheels through an engaging six-speed manual transmission. A new clutch, flywheel, and thrust bearing were fitted in 2019, and new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres were fitted in November 2022 The car was first delivered to Hong Kong and re-registered with the DVLA in September 2010, it has been with its current and second UK owner for the last 11 years. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES The GT3 RS shares the GT3's power output but boasts several lightweight features that brings its power-to-weight ratio up to 300bhp per tonne. Weight-saving features include an adjustable carbon-fibre wing, a plastic engine cover, and a plastic rear window. This example is finished in black with vibrant orange side decals, wing mirrors, and rear spoiler accents. The cabin features the sought-after Factory black bucket seats and an orange half roll cage. It rides on a set of orange 19-inch alloy wheels with yellow callipers, steel brake discs, and recently fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyres.
