MOVING INTERSTATE
The Porsche 996.1 GT3 is still the rarest 911 GT3 to this day, apart from the RS models. This vehicle is one of only 13 Touring models arrived into Australia #13 (refer picture) I’ve owned this GT3 since January 2014 Always parked on carpet. Unique registration is included but can be negotiated out.
The 996 GT3 is a pure driver’s car, no traction control and an old-school, H-pattern, six-speed gearbox. To be quick in one, you can’t just mash the pedals and flick a lever; you have to finesse everything.
The 996 GT3 possesses many traits common among today’s high-demand Porsches: It’s rare, it’s fast and it has strong ties to the brand’s motorsports program.
The 996 GT3 checks a lot of boxes–it’s limited production, it’s got a performance envelope that is unbelievable, it’s got great history and lineage with Porsche, it’s something special–and I think always will be–and I think the design is aging well.
The Porsche 911 GT3 is a high-performance homologation model of the Porsche 911 sports car. What made it special was its engine. Sitting below the shapely rear wing wasn’t a tuned version of the standard 3.4-litre flat-six, but an all-new 3.6-litre unit based on the turbo from the firm’s GT1 supercar.
Porsche re-engineered the hand-built engine for mass production, dispensing with the turbos but keeping the titanium con rods. This allowed it to rev much higher. The use of race-inspired parts wasn’t limited to the engine. The six-speed manual gearbox was taken from the rare 993 GT2

Requirements in motorsport, homologation not only requires compliance with a racing series' technical guidelines (for example engine displacement, chassis construction, suspension design and such), but often includes minimum levels of sales of that model to the public, to ensure that no vehicles in the competition have been designed and produced solely for racing. Since such vehicles are primarily intended for the race track, practical use on public roads is generally a secondary design consideration, so long as government regulations are met.
The 996 GT3 Is one of the All-Time Great Porsche 911s
The Porsche 996 GT3 is already a modern classic and is still regarded as one of the best analog 911s of its time.
It’s hard to believe the first-generation Porsche 996 GT3 (commonly known as the 996.1 GT3) is now 26 years old. Indeed, the hardcore version of the 996 was a homologation model designed to meet FIA standards for racing. Demand for the track-focused 911, however, was overwhelming and later turned Porsche to develop the extreme Renn Sport editions. The original GT3 was, no doubt, a game-changer.
Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1999, the 996 GT3 was not only the first water-cooled GT3 but also the most powerful naturally aspirated 911 at the Dynamic, reaching speeds of 100km/h in 4.8 seconds!. Driver, side and passenger airbag. Extra track spring sets included
This GT3 has front power windows, leather steering wheel, leather seats + two additional Recaro seats, extra sports exhaust system, has GT3 Motorsport Crown wheel and pinion 8.32 4.0 ratio, steel synchros (3,4,5,6 gears, GT3 sport Sintered clutch kit fitted, harness support frame, limited slip diff (LSD), 18" alloy wheels, power steering, full body kit, leather gear knob and climate control air conditioning. Being a rare touring model it has a centre console with genuine CDR-220 radio disc player. I’m the third person to own this vehicle. First, I am told, was a WA state manager for Porsche (not confirmed though) and was originally registered in WA. The second owner was a businessman in Melbourne, I purchased this classic off him in December 2013.
Full service completed at Porsche Centre Collingwood VIC October 2025. Only 500 kilometres added up to 27th Sept 202
