These incredible cars are iconic, fast, rare, and unique.
For any Porsche enthusiast or exotic car collector, there’s nothing quite like a Paint to Sample Porsche. With unique colors and an elevated degree of exclusivity, Paint to Sample cars make for some of the most precious gems in the Porsche world. However, when you combine a Porsche model that was rare in the first place with the enviable exclusivity of Paint to Sample, you get some of the most desirable Porsches ever, and that’s exactly what these four examples of the 997.2 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 3.8, in the private collection at Merit Partners are.
Roughly 1,500 examples of the 997.2 generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 2.8 were delivered worldwide, with 612 examples built for the United States and Canada. However, only 46 of those were made with Paint to Sample configurations. Merit Partners has acquired 4 of those 46 examples for sale, representing nearly 10 percent of all of the US Paint to Sample 997.2 911 GT3 RS 3.8s made.
RS Green was one of the communication colors for the 997.1 GT3 RS, however, it was only available as a Paint to Sample color for the 997.2 generation. This example is not only one of only two North American examples in this color, but it’s also the lowest-mileage PTS example existing with only 80 miles on its odometer.
The beautiful Paint to Sample Riviera Blue adorns only 6 North American examples, and this one is the lowest mileage one with only 2,522 miles. It was modified with Porsche Motorsports OEM parts by Toronto-based Pfaff Motorsports before its first delivery.
GT Silver Metallic is one of the most iconic colors in Porsche’s expansive library. Only five examples of the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 were made in this color, and Merit Partners has acquired the lowest-mileage one, with only 1,850 miles on its odometer. In addition, the car has never before been publicly seen or photographed.
Introduced in the 997 generation, Meteor Grey is only featured on one 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 in North America, and Merit Partners has acquired it, with only 1,088 miles on its odometer. Like the GT Silver example, the car has never before been seen or photographed publicly.
With an incredible private collection, Merit Partners has added to it some of the most incredible existing Porsches, featuring ultra-rare Paint to Sample colors, incredibly low mileage, and of course the GT3 RS’s track-ready engineering and performance. 75 years into Porsche’s history, and 60 years into that of the 911, these four masterpieces celebrate the legendary legacy of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Porsche’s legacy as a whole.
