Collectability & value

Rarity

limited series (≈ 1 000 units); Weissach pack and rare colours (Miami Blue…) highly sought-after

Desirability

most powerful road 911 at launch, Nürburgring record holder, last purely combustion GT2; original specification, low mileage, and Porsche service history are decisive; strong valuation

Points of attention

track use (wear), turbos, costly ceramic discs; expensive maintenance; originality (Weissach, options); complete history essential

Valuation

on request (price bracket + comparables + sources + date; significant Weissach premium)
