2023 911 GT3 Touring 6-speed

The 992 GT3 market has been softening over the last twelve months with 6-speed winged cars averaging around $240,000 the last quarter and 6-speed Tourings averaging around $270,000. Yesterday, we had three examples cross the block; two found homes, while one stayed with its current owner.

The first was this 2022 911 GT3 Touring 6-speed finished in Paint to Sample Carbon Steel Grey Metallic over a Black leather interior with fabric seat inserts. This 2,900-mile example was well-optioned with PCCBs, Satin Black painted wheels, Front Axle Lift System, Carbon Fiber Roof, Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, LED-Matrix headlights, and more for an MSRP of $215,580. It sold for an above-average price of $260,000 thanks to its PTS exterior and hefty options list, although it lacked Bucket seats. A fair price that I would call market-correct this month.

The second car, this 2022 911 GT3 6-speed, was finished in Racing Yellow over Black leather and Race-Tex and showed less than 1,000 miles on the odometer. It had PCCB brakes as well as the Carbon-Fiber Full Bucket seats along with a Carbon-Fiber Roof, Front Axle Lift System, LED-Matrix Headlights with PDLS+, Satin Black painted wheels, and tons of leather options for an MSRP of $220,810. This one was well sold, helped along as well by its color and extensive options list.

And then there’s the car pictured above, this 2023 911 GT3 Touring 6-speed. This example showed just 1,340 miles on the odometer and was finished in Jet Black Metallic over an Exclusive Manufaktur Brown leather interior. It had well over $60,000 in options, with over $15k for leather alone, and featured PCCB brakes but no Carbon Fiber Full Buckets. What really set this car apart, though, was its Sport Classic style rear decklid using $25,000 in OEM Porsche parts. The Sport Classic ducktail looks pretty good on this Touring, but should it not be for you, all factory parts were included with the sale to put it back to stock.

This car, however, failed to sell at a high bid of $240,000. Why? It had the options, with the highest MSRP of all three cars at $230,310. It featured a very special leather interior that looked fantastic against the Black paint. And modifications were subtle yet easily put back to stock. The difference was the venue. Our Spotlight car was sold on Sotheby’s Motorsport, RM Sotheby’s entry into the online auction space.

Being the newest player to enter the arena, Sotheby’s Motorsport probably doesn’t have the reach of the others yet. I’d venture to guess that the high bidder might have been willing to pay a market-correct price, but it would take some more bids from others to get there. Luckily, they offer a Buy Now option; as of the three cars offered yesterday, this is the one I’d want to take home to Mrs. Whitlock.
