Canadian Porsche Unveiled

The Roadster

Imagine a Porsche 911 GT3 RS so distinctly Canadian that it practically waves the maple leaf flag. That’s exactly what Porsche has done to mark the opening of its new experience center in Toronto. The result is a unique one-off Porsche 911 GT3 RS that sports a distinctive red and white livery inspired by Canada’s iconic flag, complete with a beautifully detailed maple leaf on its roof.

Design Features

This one-of-a-kind ride features center-locking wheels with a red and black design and the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto (PECTO) logo. To top it off, special puddle lights project the track’s outline onto the ground. Inside, the car doesn’t shy away from its theme either. It boasts custom sports seats covered in black leather with vibrant pepita fabric centers, complemented by red and white accents. The entire interior is a shout-out to Canada, from the embroidered headrests to the intricate carbon fiber details throughout the cabin.

Driving Experience

Underneath all this visual splendor rests the heart of a beast—a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine producing 518 horsepower. This lets the 911 racer launch from 0 to 62 mph in a mere 3.2 seconds, before reaching its top speed of 184 mph. The car is based on the 911 GT3 RS with the Weissach Package, which is usually only seen on serious tracks and offers a punch that is both thrilling and precise.

Auction and Charity

Porsche is auctioning this masterpiece to coincide with the experience center’s grand opening. Managed by RM Sotheby’s, the auction starts immediately and runs through Canada Day. There’s no specific price estimate provided, but given a standard 2025 911 GT3 RS goes for $267,300 CAD, and the Weissach Package adds another $38,250 CAD, it’s safe to say this unique piece will fetch a pretty penny. The winner also receives a special watch and a miniature model of the car, while a portion of the proceeds goes to Campfire Circle. This charity helps bring joy to children affected by cancer or serious illness through various programs and camps.

For U.S. Enthusiasts

Interestingly, this isn’t just a Canadian exclusive. Although designed for our neighbors up north, any American enthusiasts can enter this auction, provided they are willing to convert the car to U.S. specification. So, that one-of-a-kind GT3 RS could potentially find its way down Atlantic Avenue (better start those conversion plans now).
