A 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS finished in Miami Blue is being offered for sale, carrying 18,000 miles and a specification that includes the Weissach and Sport Chrono packages. The car, a 991.2-generation model, was bought as a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle by its current owner in 2019 and has since been used on both road and track.
The GT3 RS is powered by a replacement 4.0-litre flat-six engine installed under warranty in 2023 by Porsche Southpoint after the original unit suffered seizing of the number one and number four connecting rod bearings. A replacement seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transaxle and a new dual-mass flywheel were fitted at the same time. The car has covered approximately 1,200 miles since the engine change.
Factory equipment includes Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, 20-inch front and 21-inch rear centre-lock alloy wheels, a front-axle lift system, an extended-range 23.7-gallon fuel tank, LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Lighting System, a rear wing, a back-up camera, carbon-fibre-backed bucket seats, a Bose sound system and Porsche Communication Management with navigation. The optional Sport Chrono Package added a stopwatch atop the dashboard.
The Weissach Package brought carbon-fibre front and rear anti-roll bars and coupling rods, while Weissach-equipped cars are distinguished by exposed carbon-fibre weave on the front trunk lid and raised rear wing, along with a carbon-fibre roof panel and carbon-fibre Sport Design mirror housings. This example also features lightweight glass and vented front fenders.
Under current ownership the car has been retrofitted with slotted GiroDisc brake rotors, a body-colour Cantrell Motorsports roll bar and Schroth safety harnesses. The cabin is trimmed in black leather and Alcantara with Guards Red deviated stitching, Miami Blue seatbelts, a fire extinguisher, carbon-fibre interior trim, illuminated carbon-fibre door sill guards, cruise control, aluminium pedals and Weissach RS embroidery on the headrests. Guards Red instrument dials and climate control vents were specified from new.
The seller notes that paint protection film was applied shortly after acquisition, with wear visible near the rear wheels and a scuff on the left corner of the front splitter. The bronze-finished alloy wheels are mounted with staggered Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tyres showing signs of wear. Front suspension uprights were replaced at approximately 10,000 miles, and front brake rotors and pads at all four corners were changed at around 16,000 miles.
The car is offered with a window sticker listing initial delivery to Porsche of South Shore in Freeport, New York, and a total price of $248,780. Service records, the removed factory carbon-ceramic brake rotors, spare parts, a set of replacement Michelin tyres and an accident-free Carfax report are also included. The Carfax lists Manufacturer Voluntary Service Action entries in 2024, and the car holds a clean North Carolina title in the owner’s name.
