2004 Porsche 911 GT3
Overview
The 996-generation Porsche 911 was the first to introduce the GT3 nameplate. Combining the brand’s innovations in motorsports with road-going usability, the car offered a raw, analog driving experience among its peers. This 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 arrives as 1 of 18 finished in special-order Cobalt Blue Metallic paint, and 1 of only 2 in the shade optioned with Full Natural Leather. Additional exterior items featured include the Xenon Headlight Package, 996-generation GT3 exclusive bodywork (fixed aero rear spoiler, front bumper), and GT3 alloy wheels currently riding on a fresh set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
Natural Grey Leather upholstery meets dashboard trim and rear center console sections color-matched to the Cobalt Blue Metallic exterior, one of many customization options added as part of the Custom Tailoring package. The lower metal side door sills and rear interior carpeting also display ‘GT3’ insignias. Leather-wrapped steering wheel, gear shift knob, dashboard, and side door panels encircle the cabin. The inclusion of automatic climate control, Porsche AM/FM/CD audio, and power windows allows this Porsche to equally serve as a comfortable tourer alongside its elevated performance qualities. With a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-six producing exhilarating performance, this GT3 channels power exclusively to the rear wheels through a crisp 6-speed manual transmission.
Accompanying records illustrate exemplary maintenance by specialist workshops including a recent full engine-out service. Further, just over 40k miles are shown by the odometer—backed by clean Carfax history. Known modifications include a lightened flywheel and OEM Euro GT3 lower console delete. A Seller’s Disclosure, two key fobs, service records, factory literature, and build sheet accompany the sale. Whether acquired for spirited weekend use, track days, or adding to any sizable Porsche collection, this 911 GT3 presents a highly desirable modern classic elevated by rare factory optioning.
