I understand it’s like a super-RS from last gen, and I understand that limited-edition anything Porsches are worth major money, but...
OK, it has a 4.0L engine, 500HP.
The new GT3 RS (991), AFAIK, has a 4.0L engine, 500HP.
Will this in any way put a cap on the stratospheric rise of GT3 RS 4.0 prices?
Or is the older car superior for some reason? Perhaps hydraulic/electric steering sort of thing?
I GET why it’s a spectacular car, but I’m having a hard time understanding while the values skyrocketed so quickly, and if they are expected to continue to do so.

The new gt3rs isn’t a stick!
I've heard that gt3 rs prices of the previous gen aren't depreciating much because of the new pdk only one

The old one had a manual option. MASSIVE deal.

IMO, the 991 is the second most drastic change in the 911’s history. One could lump 911s into three categories:
air cooled, narrow & short: 911, 964, & 993
watercooled, narrow & long: 996 & 997
watercooled, wide & long: 991
Thinking of it that way, the 997 GT3 RS 4.0 is the pinnacle of that second group.
Plus it was the last hurrah for the Mezger engine, and quite possibly the last GT3 with a manual.

Basically nostalgia and preference for natural driving feedback from direct steering connection and a manual transmission. Combine that with the then-new 4.0L motor in a GT3 chassis and you have a legend of a 997.

Manual, hydraulic steering, smaller than a 991, very few produced. It’s basically the holy grail of 911’s for now.
