Porsche Experience Centre Toronto’s 911 GT3 RS Auctioned for Charity
The brand new Porsche Experience Centre (PEC) Toronto, which we recently had access to, will officially open to the public on June 18. To mark the occasion, a special 911 GT3 RS is being auctioned off through RM Sotheby’s.
This highly bespoke GT3 RS with Weissach Package was shown for the first time at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show. It was built in partnership between Porsche Cars Canada and the Porsche Sonderwunsch (special request) team in Germany to show just what’s possible through this personalization program.

The car sports a fully painted red and white livery, with the colour proportions of the Canadian flag, while the interior features a custom “pepita” fabric created specifically for this project. It also comes with a bespoke 911 GT3 RS watch and a special 1:18 scale model of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto GT3 RS.
"Much like the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto itself, this special vehicle was the realization of a dream," said Porsche Cars Canada President and CEO Trevor Arthur. “We are delighted at the potential that this vehicle has to fascinate and make its mark well beyond its new owner.”
As a reminder, the 911 GT3 RS with Weissach Package stands out with multiple carbon fibre elements inside and out. At the rear, the naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine revs up to 9,000 rpm, producing 502 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to its excellent seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.
A portion of the proceeds from the auction is set to be donated to Campfire Circle, an Ontario-based charity helping children with serious illness and their families. Bids will be accepted until 3 pm ET on July 1.
