2018 911 GT3 6-Speed

The 991.2 GT3 was greeted with enthusiasm when Porsche brought back the 6-speed manual transmission after its absence on the 991.1. Power increased as well, with displacement growing to 4.0 liters and output rising to 500 horsepower. Visual and aerodynamic updates included redesigned front and rear fascias, larger air intakes, and a higher-mounted rear wing that generated roughly 20% more downforce, while a stiffer rear-axle steering setup and retuned suspension improved handling precision without sacrificing ride quality.

This 2018 911 GT3 6-Speed was finished in Paint-to-Sample Riviera Blue over a Black leather and Alcantara interior and showed just 8,000 miles. It was well optioned with Carbon Buckets, black-painted wheels, Sport Chrono, Front Axle Lift, and more for an original MSRP of $179,590. Modifications included a GMG exhaust and a GT3 Touring decklid, which required a replacement wiring harness and airbox to complete the conversion. Much cleaner than taking a sawzall to the rear wing, I suppose.

Over the past twelve months, 991.2 GT3 values have averaged $196,300, with a low of $142,250 and a high of $300,000 set by a 196-mile example sold last month. Despite the higher mileage, I expected the PTS Riviera Blue finish to push our Spotlight car toward the top of the range, if not challenge the high outright. Instead, it sold at a final bid of $240,000, closer to the lower end of recent comps.
