2001 Porsche 911 GT3 Clubsport

KEY FACTS This 996-generation Porsche 911 GT3 Clubsport is a highly engaging and rare modern classic performance coupe. It is powered by a 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, driving the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a Japan-delivered model, which was imported and first registered in the UK in March 2021, and it has been with the seller and the second UK owner for nearly five years. The odometer indicates 55,472 km, though this is not warranted. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This 996-era 911 GT3 Clubsport is finished in red over a black and red cloth-trimmed interior, featuring red seat belts, coloured Porsche crests embroidered on the headrests, and carbon-fibre trim. It rides on a set of 18-inch 10-spoke split-rim alloy wheels, framing red brake callipers and fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. Equipment includes the Clubsport package, Recaro bucket seats, a roll cage, drilled aluminium pedal covers, automatic air conditioning, and a Porsche CR-22 stereo. An aftermarket exhaust has been fitted by a previous owner. Accompanied by the owner's manual, toolkit, service booklet, the V5C, some maintenance invoices and MOT certificates, and two keys.
