An exceptionally rare performance car; one of just 26 examples built specifically for the Australian market, with the 26th car having been kept in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six, delivering 375kW to the rear wheels through an engaging six-speed manual transmission. This 911 GT3 Touring has covered just 763 kilometres at the hands of its one owner from new. It remains original and unmodified, has never been driven in the rain, and has been hand detailed after every drive. The GT3 Touring ‘70 Years Porsche Australia Edition’ was limited to just 25 delivered examples to commemorate the 70-year anniversary of the brand’s presence in Australia, all of which were finished in Fish Silver Grey metallic in recognition of the very first Porsche shipped to Australia. In addition, all 25 Australian delivered examples feature over A$90,000 worth of Exclusive Manufaktur options above the standard GT3 Touring; including unique badging, a bespoke interior colour scheme of Graphite Blue with Madraskaro Check cloth inserts, a painted key with interior-matched pouch, and a ‘70’ embossed armrest cover. It rides on a set of centre-lock 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloy wheels, shod with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres. Factory-fitted equipment includes reversing sensors, a reversing camera, carbon-backed sports seats, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, a multifunction steering wheel, switchable driving modes, a configurable instrument cluster, and a touchscreen infotainment system with satellite navigation. Included in the sale is the owner’s manual, service book, an extra set of floormats, a 70th Anniversary car cover, and the manufacturer’s book with details and photographs of the car’s build. The Victorian Heritage number plates shown in the gallery are not included in the sale. The paintwork and interior are reported to be in excellent condition, with no obvious imperfections. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. There is a valid VicRoads registration in place, which expires in February 2024. Evo magazine’s verdict on the model stated: “Perhaps the most telling and appealing aspect of the GT3 Touring, which goes hand-in-hand with its more subtle appearance, is that it remains a car that rewards you so much more than others, even when you’re not extending it to its limits, following in the tyre tracks of the 911 R and its Touring predecessor it remains the connoisseur GT3 choice.” This is a pristine example of the remarkably rare Porsche 911 (992) GT3 Touring '70 Years Porsche Australia Edition', of which only 25 units were delivered to celebrate the 70-year anniversary of Porsche’s involvement in the Australian market. Finished in a one-off colour outside of the usual PTS options available, the combination has lineage back to the first 356 delivered to Australia. It is widely touted as one of the best driver’s cars ever made, with the manual transmission in this car continuing the involving tradition of the great Porsches. This rare 911 has covered just 763 kilometres from new (only around half the running-in distance of 1,500 km) and would make a natural addition to any collection, as well as a spectacular weekend drive experience for any marque enthusiast.
