The 997.1 GT3 is distinguished from contemporary 911 Carrera models by its aluminum front trunk lid and doors, more aggressive front and rear fascias, an adjustable rear wing, and center-exit exhaust outlets. This example is finished in Guards Red and features bi-xenon headlights, headlight washers, fog lights, and a sunroof. Paint protection film has reportedly been applied to the front end and rear quarter panels, while a replacement windshield was fitted in July 2020. Chips are visible on the front bumper cover, and the front spoiler is scraped. A February 2008 entry of the Carfax report lists an accident resulting in damage to the rear. According to the selling dealer, the front and rear bumper covers were repainted during prior ownership.
Aftermarket 19″ Flow One wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires showing 2018 and 2021 date codes and measuring 235/35 up front and 305/30 at the rear. Braking is handled by red Porsche-branded six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers over 13.8″ cross-drilled rotors. The car features a MacPherson strut front suspension with a multi-link LSA rear setup as well as front and rear stabilizer bars. A brake fluid flush was performed in April 2021.
The cabin features hard-back sport seats upholstered in black leather and Alcantara joined by a color-coordinated dash, door panels, and carpets. The stereo has been removed and is included with the sale, and interior amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, aluminum pedal covers, and Porsche-branded floor mats. Wear is visible on the seats.
An Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel frames red-dial instrumentation consisting of a central GT3-branded tachometer with an 8,400-rpm redline, a 225-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 55k miles.
The 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six features VarioCam variable valve timing as well as titanium connecting rods and dry-sump lubrication. It was factory rated at 415 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Additional photos of the underside are presented in the gallery below.
