Driving feel description
This GT3 RS feels exactly how a real RS should feel: lively, precise, reliable and with very honest handling.

The car shifts tightly, the clutch engages nicely, and the suspension feels fresh and cohesive. The whole gives instant confidence exactly what connoisseurs look for in an RS. This is not a tired car, but a healthy, well-preserved specimen that immediately shows its qualities as soon as you drive it.

High-quality technical upgrades

Original booklets
Service documentation
Paperwork regarding maintenance and upgrades
Technically, this is a very strongly preserved and correctly maintained RS example.
Exterior and interior
The car presents excellently for its age and mileage. The black paint looks sleek and uniform, with light signs of use as you would expect from a well-driving GT3 RS. The interior is clean, functional and ready for immediate driving pleasure. The whole reflects careful ownership and technical perfection not an obsessive museum restoration.
This is not a concours object, but a highly prepared and excellently maintained RS with the right mechanical base and pure RS experience.
