Porsche 911 GT3 RS Tribute to Carrera RS Package Honors the Iconic Carrera RS 2.7
Available exclusively in the U.S., the Tribute to Carrera RS Package adds distinct styling elements to make your GT3 RS even more special.
Did you get a Porsche 911 GT3 RS allocation but afraid that everyone in your neighborhood is going to buy the same car? Or maybe you have always loved the OG 911 RS but have not been able to put one in your own garage. Well, Porsche has you covered with the recently announced 911 GT3 RS Tribute to Carrera RS Package. As the name suggests this package is a nod to the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7.
The Tribute to Carrera RS Package does not include any mechanical upgrades but there are still plenty of bits to make it feel special. There are unique styling elements for both the exterior and interior. A unique Porsche Design timepiece, and several accessories are also included. On top of all that, for the first time ever, an NFT program that is unique to the package is also available. None of this will make you go any faster, but the GT3 RS doesn’t really need any help in the speed department. This package is all about honoring history.
Exterior Styling
“The new Tribute to Carrera RS Package comes with white paint offset by accents in Python Green and uses the 911 GT3 RS equipped with the Weissach Package, and a leather and Race-Tex interior as its starting point. Specially colored Exclusive Manufaktur elements include magnesium wheels painted in Python Green, brake calipers in High Gloss Black, as well as Python Green mirror caps, GT3 RS side graphics, a special RS logo on the wing end plates featuring the American flag, PORSCHE script on the underside of the wing and a GT3 RS graphic on the rear bumper.” Back in the day the Carrera RS 2.7 was the top dog 911 and it was available with wheels and graphics in Viper Green. The new car is a modern take on that look.
Interior Styling
There is more green inside. In the cockpit you will find deviated stitching in green. The doorsill guards are illuminated with ‟Tribute to Carrera RS” script. The center consoled lid is embossed with the “RS” logo. And rounding out the design are the keys painted in white. Let’s be honest, there is not a paint scheme or interior color in the world that would make the new GT3 RS look boring. But for those that appreciate the history of the RS model this package really makes the car stand out.
Other Bits
We covered the styling inside and out, but the Tribute to Carrera RS Package goes beyond just the car. “A package-specific Porsche Design watch with a winding rotor in Python Green designed to look like the magnesium wheel of the car, and a strap with matching stitching as well as a white bezel. A custom car cover, RS valve stem caps with script in Python Green, key caps in Python Green, custom license plate frames and a pair of 1:43 scale model cars; one being the 1973 Carrera RS and the other a replica of the new car, will also be included.”
“The package also includes an NFT program that rewards customers with digital badges signifying their attendance at key racetracks and Porsche events. The NFT owner will also get physical vehicle graphics to accompany the digital keepsake so their achievements are visible in both the virtual world and to anyone in the car’s presence.”
How Much?
The Tribute to Carrera RS Package is available to order for customers in the U.S. that have an existing 911 GT3 RS allocation with their dealer. The Tribute to Carrera RS Package will carry a total MSRP of $312,550 not including a $1,450 delivery, processing and handling fee. The MSRP also doesn’t include the dealer markup fee which will probably be another couple hundred thousand dollars. But even at half a million dollars the new car would still be cheaper than buying a genuine 1973 Carrera RS 2.7.
