We are pleased to present this 2018 Porsche 991.2 GT3 Touring finished in Rhodium Silver Metallic over a black leather interior with cloth seat centers. Perhaps the most desirable 991 of all, the GT3 Touring is sought after for its understated styling and standard 6-speed GT Sport manual transmission. This generously configured 2018 example was custom ordered by the owner and picked up new at the factory in Stuttgart through Porsche’s European Delivery program. It features Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), the front axle lift system, Sport Chrono Package Plus, extended leather upholstery, and full carbon fiber bucket seats. This GT3 Touring is now being offered for auction by its original owner out of Vancouver, Canada while showing just over 12,300 kilometers (7,642 miles) on the odometer.
The Rhodium Silver Metallic finish is preserved by a full ceramic coating as well as clear protection film applied over the front end and mirror covers. The seller also notes this vehicle to have always been garage-kept and never subjected to winter driving conditions. The Touring model is most recognizable for its understated styling resulting from a factory rear wing delete. In place of the rear wing is an automatically activated spoiler derived from the Carrera model. Optional SportDesign exterior mirrors are equipped along with painted side skirts, painted headlight cleaner covers, a deleted rear model designation, and yellow PCCB brake calipers. This 2018 example rides on a set of 20” GT3 center-lock wheels finished in Satin Platinum and dressed in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The rear driver’s side tire is said to have been previously replaced.
Inside, you will find a nicely appointed black extended leather interior with cloth seat centers and full carbon fiber bucket seats. An integrated Passport radar/laser system has been installed by the current owner. A detailed list of factory options is provided below amounting to an original sticker price of over $206k (CAD).

This second-generation 991 GT3 is equipped with a naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six engine that sends up to 500 HP to the rear wheels through a visceral 6-speed GT Sport manual transmission. 0-60 MPH is achieved in as little as 3.9 seconds with a top speed of nearly 200 MPH. Rear-axle steering and PASM suspension are equipped as standard, and this example has also been optioned with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) for superior stopping power. All scheduled maintenance has been carried out through an authorized Porsche dealer including a recent standard service in 2021.
The sale of this 991.2 will include owner's manuals, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean title. Offered in a tasteful custom configuration with desirable factory options, the GT3 Touring is not to be overlooked.

@abacpm Have had many cars from around the world including Canada . Clearly a bit more to do than buying it in the states but no big deal for an adult. Yes. Simply hire an agent and let them handle it all. Somethings are worth the tiny extra effort. GL2all
Hope everybody has done your homework on the time and paperwork it take to get a Canadian Carr over to USA,,,,,take about a month to get all paperwork and transportation ..... hire an important agent

@ClayMan Wow great eye on that, I would never have seen that. From what I recall I had an option for black Porsche tag or the silver look, it mistakenly got ordered with black and I had it changed by Porsche on arrival to Canada, so if its off that must be on them. Also not mentioned is the side marker lights, which were changed from the original orange (required for Canada) to the clear European style markers, much nicer. Thanks for your interest!
Looks like the PPF installer removed and replaced the "PORSCHE" emblem on the rear bumper incorrectly, it should be lower.

@AstroP59 thanks! I’be not heard of that report before but I’ll look into it with Porsche, they should have something from servicing. Not easy to over rev these that’s for sure!
The car looks great. Do you have a current DME report to verify over revs , or hopefully lack of
@Crx168 Great question, one of my concern with European pick-up given there was no option for PPF in Germany. The PPF was applied on the car's arrival to Canada. Fortunately the paint is like new, no rock chips or scratches. The euro pick-up was in March, we drove for only a short time on very good roads. In Vancouver there is no winter snow so no sand or rocks used on the roads here, very good driving conditions, which helps. Also driven primarily in the summer. Full service records are available, all completed with Porsche. Thanks for your interest!
Hi! Was the ppf applied before delivery in Stuggart or after it arrived back to Canada? Any stone chips or scratches anywhere? Any service records?
@joel I have to be honest, if I could go back and pick the options again I would follow your lead, love the spec on this car. I love mine but I should have been more adventurous, or less miserly depending on how you look at it. LOL
GLWS you won't need it!
@18GT3T Thanks for the note and the discerning view, I definitely approach my cars as a high priority project and spend a lot of time ensuring the spec is just right....these things are works of art! I love the spec of this car, wouldn't change a thing, but of course it's also a very individual thing....my guy at the dealership was pushing me away from the carbon buckets but I absolutely love them, expensive option but beautiful and also practical ;-).
I also went with the European Delivery and picked it up in Stuttgart, amazing experience touring the factory and museum. Highly recommended for Porsche aficionados to do at least once! The handover was awesome and very technical, including very prescriptive break-in instructions which I followed to a tee...something that the dealers I've dealt with here don't feel is necessary (Porsche clearly disagrees).
Anyway, regarding the importation process. It doesn't look overly complex to me, yes there's a 2.5% duty and a couple forms need to be filled out confirming it meets US safety and emission standards (which it does). Porsche provides a letter to confirm it meets the standards, which I can get if this sells to a US buyer. There are also numerous 3rd parties who will not only ship the car but also complete all the documentation (eg. https://usacanadacarshippers.com).
Thanks again for your comments!

Gorgeous GT3T, love the details. Most folks option the standard stuff (me included) and then decide to scrimp on the details, this car is def not one of those. All GT3T's are nice...... some are just a little nicer :)
What really surprises me is the lack of early bidding, I would have expected this to be close to $200k by now. Did I miss the gravy train? I knew I should have sold last week...lol
Is everyone put off by the fact that it's in Canada? I was under the impression it's a simple importation process, 2.5% import taxes and other "fees"
@joel may be worth clarifying the process/cost and taking some of the ambiguity out of it.
GLWS!
@ricm thanks for your interest! I reached out to my Porsche dealer contacts here and from what I’m told the warranty is fully transferable. Re importation. Speedo seems to be the only change but you need to confirm with your own State regulations, it varies State by State. Thanks again and good luck!
This spec is FIRE!! I would love to own this as my second Touring! ;-)
@Einm1 thanks for the great advice Matt, no doubt this is a difficult decision and yes finding another car like this will be very difficult. I also prefer this version over the new one (not a fan of front aesthetic)... and see this as the perfect GT3 produced to-date. You are prob very much right on this! Thanks for reaching out.
Joel, don't do it! Unless you are getting another 987 Spyder (I think you are the same guy I know from Rennlist) and just save the cash, you will regret this. I still have my (3rd) 987 Spyder and learned from selling 2 and having to find another one to replace it again. I will not make that mistake with my GT3 touring though. It is tempting to sell for the amounts that these are bringing now but I just can't think of anything I want to replace the one I have. (I paid over MSRP for a PTS Golf Blue touring back in January and it is my favorite car I have ever had). It is a perfect mate to the 987 Spyder.
Matt
@Crashklein Thanks for the info! Sounds like a lot of work to me.......
Great car, great spec, GLWS!
Will the 4/50 warranty apply in the US?
And other than the KM speedo what other differences does "Version for Canada" imply?
@Bored 1. Call Porsche NA ask them for a letter of compliance with US emissions and safety standards. They will ask for a copy of the ownership to prove that you are the new owner.
2. Call TFX transport. They will email you the forms needed to import.
3. Pay TFX the customs and delivery fees. Customs is about 3% of the purchase price.
Anyone able to detail the process and cost of importing to the US?
Hard to part with my dream car, even after the other Porsche's I've owned which are very special....but nothing can touch the GT3 in emotive performance and under the radar spectacular. Love the culture, refined exterior masking the screaming wolf inside.
Please send me any questions and thanks for your interest.
