This 996 RSR #WPOZZZ99Z4S693066 and its accolades are written in stone. In its inaugural race in 2004, it was the Le Mans pole sitting car for LM GT, LM GT class winner/champion at Le Mans and finished a 10th overall in that year's 24 hour race. In 2005 the RSR #693066 finish 2nd in class in LM GT2 at Le Mans. In the same year, Petersen White Lightning used RSR #693066 to win the American Le Mans Series GT2 Class Championship as well as becoming the GT2 Class Team and Driver champions.

 

Still like this one better at 1/3 the price but I guess provenance matters more to some than others ;-)

Man,

I have a 2001 GT3 RS that I was going to price at $115k, but now I am thinking $215k.

This car was at the Road America Club Race in 2012, extremely fast! It could rule GTA1 in the right hands.

You guys are thinking as racers, collectors have a completely different lens...a Lemans winning car?....Buckets of money...

 

I am a collector as well. My belief is that after the 993 era of GT2 racing, like Jochens GT2 EVO, and other than like a 997 Flying Lizard RSR, I just don't see modern 996 or 997 race cars commanding premiums for collectability, panache. I just haven't seen it. I track prices on these cars from a driver and collector perspective. to me, a 996 RSR should be from 1 to 200k.

I think the very last 996 RSR produced was asking like 150k.

I just don't think people will pay a premium for a dated modern age race car whatever it might have won. the winning and panache is cool, it adds some value. maybe if one was a winner, one wasn't, the winner car would command 20,30,40k more...but 400k?

 

I like the alternator set up on the black car...looks trick.

 

The 996 R/Rs and RSR is the most sucessfull GT race car ever made

It won everything it ever entered and is completly unbeaten in international GT racing
