Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WP0ZZZ99ZMS298109
Every generation of Porsche's one-make Cup cars are fondly
remembered from the very beginnings of the concept that returned
the Stuttgart brand to GT customer racing in the late 1980s.
Naturally, with each successive generation, Porsche raises the bar.
The 992-generation 911 GT3 Cup was introduced in 2021 as the
seventh in a series dating back to the 1990s. The new car was not
only faster and easier to drive but featured extended intervals for
both the 510 horsepower flat-six and six-speed paddle shifted
gearbox. Porsche, once again, had a racing sales success on their
hands, finding customers from professional race teams to those
looking to enjoy a more aggressive 911 at track days and high
performance driving events.
The DMSB Wagenpass for this chassis reveals it was campaigned by
Allied-Racing as part of a two car team during 2021 Porsche Carrera
Cup Deutschland season. At the wheel of race number 25 was Rudolf
Rhyn from Switzerland, making the step up from a 718 Cayman GT4
Club Sport fielded by Phoenix Racing the previous season. Rhyn's
results were consistent, finishing 18th in the championship battle
and perhaps most impressive, finishing every race on challenging
tracks like Spa, Monza, and Zandvoort without suffering a single
DNF.
By 2022 the GT3 Cup was imported to the United States by Heinlein
Racing Development (HRD) and, at the time, noted to have 60 hours
on the engine and a freshly rebuilt gearbox by Allied-Racing before
leaving Germany. HRD sold the car that year to an individual who
used the car in PCA high performance driving events and track days.
Under their ownership the car received maintenance from HRD and
Precision Motorsports (PMR). Notable servicing included a
transmission refresh conducted in September 2023 by Bill Rader
Motorsports in Las Vegas, front brake pads and discs and rear pads
replaced in July 2024, and new drive shafts and bearings replaced
by PMR August 2024 after an event at Watkins Glen. In late 2024 the
GT3 Cup was acquired by the consignor and has since been used for
several track day events, while being supported by Air Power Racing
of South Salt Lake, Utah.
With no new 911 GT3 Cups in production for 2025, this example with
European race history offers not only compelling speed and the
thrill of competition, but regular care and maintenance as well.
Currently showing fewer than 8,000 kms, the digital odometer
records that the current hours on the flat-six are about 50.
Porsche notes that a maintenance check of the flat-six at 100 hours
is recommended and "minor inspection" of the gearbox needed after
60 hours. Perhaps Porsche says it best, "It's made for young
focused talents starting their careers as well as experienced
professionals who are fighting for places on podiums. And yet,
enthusiastic classic drivers will still find it easy to handle."
Succinctly put, the 911 GT3 Cup is a car suitable for nearly
everyone ready to answer the call of the racetrack.
