The 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model manufactured from 1997 to 2006.  In 2000 Porsche introduced the first 996 GT3 version with 3.6-liter engine and 355 hp at 7,200 rpm. This 3.6-litre ‘Mezger’ unit was more similar to the Porsche 962 racing engine than it was with the 3.4 engine of the 996 Carrera. 1.858 units of the 996.1 GT3 were produced before the 996 received its mid-life upgrade. When the 996.2 generation came, the 996.2 GT3 debuted in 2003. Along the remodelled headlights and intakes, as well as different rear wing, there was also a boost in engine output: from 355 hp to 381 hp at 7,400 rpm. In 2003 Porsche decided also to revive again the ’RS’ badge. The 996 GT3 RS got the red or blue RS decals and rims sprayed in the same colour. But this wasn’t just for show, although the output was the same as standard GT3 at 381 horsepower. The dampers are stiffer, the front and rear control arms are adjustable, the windows in the back were made out of polycarbonate to save some more weight. The bigger wing is made out of carbon fiber. The 996 GT3 RS is a very rare collectors car. There was only 682 units produced.
