2005 911 GT3

The 996.2 GT3, introduced to North America in 2004, marked the first time U.S. buyers could purchase a GT3 directly through Porsche dealerships. Updates over the earlier version included a 3.6-liter flat-six with longer titanium connecting rods, lighter pistons, and an improved VarioCam system, boosting output and dropping the 0–60 time to 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph. Visual changes included a redesigned front fascia, new rear wing, and updated wheels, which were lighter despite accommodating wider tires. Performance enhancements extended to larger brakes with six-piston calipers, while Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes became available as an option for the first time, reinforcing the GT3’s reputation as a track-ready yet road-legal machine.

This 2005 911 GT3 shows just 23,000 miles and is finished in Guards Red over a Black leather interior with Red stitching. The seller acquired the car in August 2021 and has since addressed both cosmetic and mechanical needs. Service at that time included replacing the serpentine belt, ignition coils, fuel and cabin filters, oil pressure switch, and performing an oil change, coolant flush, and brake fluid flush. Suspension work consisted of replacing the rear shocks, bump stops, upper strut mounts, toe links, sway bar links, and front brake ducts. More recently, the fuel level gauge and A/C system were repaired, and the undercarriage was dry-ice cleaned. In 2025, the door and rear quarter panels were refinished following the removal of side graphics, and paint protection film was applied to the nose, fenders, hood, and mirrors. Interior details include red-faced gauges and a fire extinguisher mounted ahead of the passenger seat. With its low mileage, documented service, and DME report included in the gallery, this car represents a strong example of a 996.2 generation GT3.

Over the past twelve months, 996.2 GT3s have averaged $96,700, with sales ranging from $63,500 on the low end to $142,996 at the top. Given its condition and mileage, comps put this example in the $100,000–$120,000 range. The seller had purchased the car at auction for $110,000 and this time around it brought a final bid of $115,000, right in line with expectations.
