  • Designed with Porsche Sonderwunsch team and Grant Larson

Porsche Cars Canada is marking the opening of its new Porsche Experience Centre Toronto with a bespoke 911 GT3 RS, now being auctioned through RM Sotheby’s in support of Campfire Circle, an Ontario charity for children with serious illnesses. The sealed-bid auction went live during the Centre’s June 10 grand opening and will close on Canada Day, July 1.

This unique Canadian-spec GT3 RS, co-developed by Porsche’s Sonderwunsch team and designer Grant Larson, features a red-and-white livery inspired by the national flag and a custom “pepita” interior fabric. It’s also equipped with the Weissach Package and includes exclusive touches like a cowl cover signed by Grant Larson, Andreas Preuninger and Boris Apenbrink, plus a matching Chronograph 911 GT3 RS timepiece and a 1:18 scale model of the car.

Unveiled at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show, the car exemplifies Porsche’s personalization capabilities while honoring the milestone opening of its first Canadian Experience Centre. As Porsche Cars Canada CEO Trevor Arthur notes, “this special vehicle was the realization of a dream.”
