Porsche Cars Canada is celebrating the grand opening of its Porsche Experience Centre (PEC) Toronto in style, with a one-of-a-kind 911 GT3 RS headed to auction for charity.
Unveiled at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show, this highly customized GT3 RS was developed in collaboration with the Porsche Sonderwunsch (special request) program in Germany. Finished in a striking red-and-white livery reflecting the Canadian flag, the car also features a unique interior adorned with a bespoke “pepita” houndstooth fabric crafted exclusively for the build.
The auction, conducted by RM Sotheby’s, is open for bidding until 3 p.m. ET on July 1. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Campfire Circle, an Ontario-based nonprofit supporting children facing serious illnesses and their families.
“Much like the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto itself, this special vehicle was the realization of a dream,” said Trevor Arthur, President and CEO of Porsche Cars Canada. “We are delighted at the potential that this vehicle has to fascinate and make its mark well beyond its new owner.”
Beyond the stunning aesthetic and charitable cause, the 911 GT3 RS is a powerhouse. Outfitted with the Weissach Package, the car incorporates extensive carbon fiber throughout the body and chassis. A naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine lies at the heart of the car, producing 502 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. With a redline of 9,000 rpm and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, it reaches 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds.
The winning bidder will also receive a matching 1:18 scale model of the car and a bespoke Porsche Design GT3 RS timepiece, both tailored to this exact vehicle.
The PEC Toronto opens to the public on June 18, offering enthusiasts a chance to engage with Porsche performance in a controlled environment just minutes from downtown.
