This 2015 Porsche 991 GT3 was custom ordered in the Paint to Sample color of Arena Red Metallic over a Black leather and Alcantara interior with deviated stitching in red. The car is reportedly one of 10 Arena Red Metallic examples spec'd by Porsche Germany as a reward for dealers coming to a special training event, along with 10 other examples in Fashion Grey and another 10 in Signal Green. It also features the optional Front Axle Lift System, an extended-range fuel tank, LED headlights Sound Package Plus, Sport Chrono Package, and personalized illuminated door sill guards in stainless steel. Additionally, the car has been modified with an OEM GT3 RS steering wheel, GT4 RS gear selector, a GMG center section exhaust, DSC Sport V3 PASM controller, Endless RE20 brake pads, and modified PCM head unit with Apple CarPlay, Android, Auto, and an integrated backup camera. Benefitting from an engine replacement (G6) under warranty in 2023, this GT3 was purchased by the seller as a Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle and is now being offered for auction out of Washington with approximately 43k miles showing on the odometer.

This GT3 is finished in the Paint to Sample color of Arena Red Metallic and features custom silver Porsche graphics along the rear wing and above the rockers. Factory equipment includes optional LED headlamps, SportDesign mirrors, red brake calipers, side skirts, a front lip spoiler, a fixed rear wing, dual center-mounted tailpipes, and 20” GT3 center-lock wheels in Satin Platinum. New Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires were mounted in Fall 2023 and clear paint protection film is applied to the front end and headlights. The seller notes some imperfections on the rear quarter stone guards, a small dent on the driver’s side A-pillar, and a very slight indentation on the hood. The CARFAX report shows minor front-end damage in 2019 which is said to have resulted from a rock hitting the hood on the highway by the previous selling dealer. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.

Inside, this GT3 features Black leather and Alcantara upholstery with decorative red stitching and brushed aluminum trim. Factory options include heated seats, Sound Package Plus, Light Design Package, Sport Chrono Package, Front Axle Lift System, automatically dimming mirror with a rain sensor, and personalized illuminated door sill guards in stainless steel that read “Kills bugs fast”. The cabin has been modified with an OEM 991.2 GT3 RS steering wheel in Alcantara, a 718 GT4 RS PDK gear selector, a Rennline magnetic phone mounts, and a PCM head unit with an NMAutomotive piggyback chip for Android Auto and a backup camera. The seller states the original steering wheel and gear selector will be provided to the next owner.

This GT3 is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine featuring multi-point electronic fuel injection, titanium connecting rods, and forged pistons. The original engine was replaced with an updated G6 version by Porsche Fremont at 33,600 miles. Up to 475 HP and 325lb.-ft of torque are sent to the rear wheels by way of a 7-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission which provides acceleration from 0-60 MPH in approximately 3.5 seconds and a top speed of nearly 200 MPH. Standard performance equipment includes rear-axle steering, an electro-mechanical limited-slip differential, and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The car has been modified with a GMG center section exhaust and a DSC Sport V3 PASM controller, and both original components are included in the sale. Upgraded Endless RE20 brake pads have also been fitted and reportedly have over half of the pad material remaining. The brake system and PDK transmission fluids were replaced in Fall 2023 along with an oil change. The rear half axles were replaced at Porsche Bellevue in early 2024 and new spark plugs are included in the sale. Additionally, a Porsche CPO warranty remains in effect until January 2025.

This sale will include the original window sticker, owner’s manuals, a front tow hook, a center lock wheel adapter, an air pump, a collection of removed OEM parts, and a clean title.

The seller would like you to know:“There is a minor accident history on the CARFAX - the previous owner had a rock hit the hood and the dealer says it was paint-less dent repaired, but if you look closely in just the right light there is a little sign of it. There is one other minor dent I could find on the car - the driver-side A-pillar, smaller than a dime. Car purrs like a wild cat. It's absolutely ridiculous. This is the most amazing engine and chassis combo I've ever experienced. Most of the miles were from an epic British Columbia Road trip me and the spouse took last fall, of which she had no complaints and was comfy as can be, even with the GMG exhaust. I have taken it to the track 3 times with the Porsche Club and toodled around in the novice group just for fun. Car hasn't been tracked since the last fluid changes. If you've driven with the Porsche Club, you know that the novice group is a bunch of shiny ducks paddling around in a circle, nothing to worry about! Selling to make room for my 2024 Miata that just arrived. Note on 991.1 GT3 engines, the G6 in this car is the only reliable 991.1 GT3 engine code, used as 2017+ replacements. The E0 F0 G0 G1 engines are progressively better, but all have large failure rates. Once Porsche put in the G6 engines, they stopped failing. There are only two reported G6 engine failures, both bottom end (like how the 991.2 engines fail), not finger follower issues which were originally from metal inclusions in faulty parts installed. These have all the upgrades, including more powerful oil pumps, additional galleries, and DLC-coated cams and finger followers. New door card, new Kills Bugs Fast OEM door sill (original had cracked, they gave me a new one under CPO). Modifications include a 718 GT4 RS PDK shift knob and OEM 991.2 RS steering wheel with red stitching and red stripe with new leather OEM airbag. This is an amazing upgrade in both grip feel, and shifter paddle feel. The original steering wheel also comes with, including the original airbag. The GMG center section exhaust really makes the exhaust button do something - is rather quiet when valves are closed, and very loud when open above 4k rpm. The OEM exhaust will come within the frunk. A DSC Sport V3 PASM controller set to a custom tune for this car, really improves the damping quality. The OEM PASM controller comes with also. NMAutomotive android auto with license plate light backup camera - works amazingly well. No drilling, nothing permanent, and can be reverted if needed. Over half the life remaining on the Endless RE20 pads. OEM pads are included as well. Rennline phone mount, magnetic.”

  @DrLakes Thank you. I’m at 41k+ miles on a ‘22 C2S Cab manual and it’s smoother than ever.
