Porsche has recently unveiled the much-anticipated 911 GT3 RS Tribute to Carrera RS Package in the United States. This special release is a heartfelt nod to the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7, a true driver’s car that left an indelible mark in automotive history. The announcement of this remarkable package was made back in 2022, and now, in 2023, it has finally made its debut in the eyes of the media.
The grand reveal took place at the Sebring International Raceway during the 12 Hours of Sebring race, held from March 15 to 18. This marked the very first opportunity for the public to catch a glimpse of this special offering, with initial deliveries to customers slated to commence in just a few short weeks.
Kjell Gruner, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, expressed the sentiment behind this tribute, stating, “This package pays tribute to the 911 Carrera RS 2.7, an absolute driver’s car and an icon. Today, nothing epitomizes the idea of a driver’s car more than the new 911 GT3 RS. Like the original, it uses cutting-edge aerodynamics to achieve incredible performance, making this a perfect homage to the legend from 1973.”
The Tribute to Carrera RS Package encompasses a host of unique styling elements for both the exterior and interior. It also includes a bespoke Porsche Design timepiece and a collection of accessories tailored specifically for the car. These accessories emphasize meticulous attention to detail, comprising a custom car cover, RS valve stem caps with script in Python Green, key caps in Python Green, custom license plate frames, and a pair of 1:43 scale model cars. One model represents the 1973 Carrera RS, while the other replicates the new 911 GT3 RS.
Exclusive Manufaktur elements that come with the package feature striking magnesium wheels painted in Python Green, Python Green mirror caps, and GT3 RS side graphics. The theme extends to PORSCHE script on the wing’s underside and a GT3 RS graphic on the rear bumper, culminating with a special RS logo on the wing end plates, proudly displaying the American flag.
For those opting for the standard Weissach Package, it introduces a notable amount of exposed carbon fiber, both inside and outside the vehicle. This includes chassis components crafted from the same material. Customers can also choose to have the hood and roof painted in the body color without incurring any additional costs while still benefiting from the performance advantages unique to the Weissach Package. These advantages include weight-saving Magnesium wheels and carbon fiber anti-roll bars, coupling rods, and a shear panel.
Inside the vehicle, cars equipped with the Tribute to Carrera RS Package boast distinct interior modifications. These include deviated stitching in green, illuminated door sill guards bearing the “Tribute to Carrera RS” script, a center console lid embossed with the “RS” logo, and keys painted in white.
For those eager to own a 2023 911 GT3 RS equipped with this unique Tribute to Carrera RS Package, the total MSRP is set at $312,550, excluding a $1,450 delivery, processing, and handling fee. It’s a remarkable opportunity for Porsche enthusiasts to own a piece of automotive history while paying homage to a true icon of the past.
