Is the Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 a good investment?
Manual coupe (2010–2011)
The thesis
Predecessor to the 4.0, with 444 hp from 3.8L Mezger flat-six and six-speed manual. 1,619 built 2010–2011. Average sale $290k; recent high $625k (June 2026). More accessible than the 4.0 unicorn, yet shares the same Mezger DNA, manual purity, and GT3 RS pedigree. Market understands this is the 'affordable' Mezger endgame. Values firming as 4.0 becomes unobtainable. Better value proposition than chasing 4.0 at 2x price.
