2015 Porsche 911 GT3

Sleek 911 GT3 has all the best equipment available, including the Sport Chrono package and black 20-inch GT3 wheels.

Over the summer, Akron, Ohio’s own king of basketball, LeBron James, signed a multi-year agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers, with the aim of leading the team back to the primetime, and a possible championship or two.

We only bring this up because we happened upon a 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 up for sale through Akron-based Thomas Classics — a 911 that is truly fit for a king like King James.

This 911 GT3 has “all the best equipment,” according to the seller, starting with the Carrera White Metallic paint over the black leather interior with red seat belts, and the black 20-inch GT3 wheels.

Hanging out under the tail is the GT3’s 3.8-liter naturally aspirated flat-six, whose 475 horses and 324 lb-ft of torque escape through the seven-speed PDK transmission to the road below. The output, of course, means a zero to 60 mph time in 3.1 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 11.3 seconds at 122.9 mph, and a top speed of 196 mph.

Meanwhile, you’ll be guiding the 911 GT3 through the turns seated in fine leather, enjoying your favorite music and programming through the premium sound system. And you can’t beat the white gauges or having a bit more room in the back thanks to the lack of a rear seat.

Though this 911 GT3 isn’t parked at Staples Center, it’s still a fine example of a 911 fit for a king, even if you can’t go all out like LeBron. Luckily, the 911 GT3 is the LeBron James of 911s; you’ll always look behind the wheel, no matter your skill.
