Porsche 911 GT3 RS Honors Carrera RS 2.7 with Special Edition

Porsche will offer a special version of the new 2023 911 GT3 RS called the “Tribute to Carrera RS” package.It is painted in white and has Python Green accents, along with other visual touches.This will be offered only in the U.S. as part of the Exclusive Manufaktur customization program.

Porsche loves to play up its rich heritage, and the newest version of the just-revealed 911 GT3 RS is meant to do just that. Called the Tribute to Carrera RS package, this special edition is visually inspired by the 1970s-era Carrera RS 2.7 that was the first RS-badged 911.

To that end, the new GT3 RS is finished in white paint and has its wheels, side mirrors, and a few other exterior elements painted in Python Green. There’s also a large green stripe on the side with “GT3 RS” script in a slightly modernized version of the “Carrera” font from the original. The giant rear wing has “RS” logos in green on each end. The interior matches the white and green theme as well, with different stitching and other painted trim pieces.

Porsche will offer this option only in the U.S. market, which it says is the “second home” of the 911. It’ll be part of the Exclusive Manufaktur customization program, and although Porsche hasn’t yet provided a price, we imagine it won’t be a cheap option on top of the GT3 RS’s $225,250 starting price (before gas-guzzler tax). It should be rare, too, as Porsche says it will have limited availability.
