Porsche Experience Centre Toronto Opens: Canadian-designed Porsche 911 GT3 RS to be auctioned for charity

It will be auctioned off for charity through RM Sotheby's

The Porsche Experience Centre Toronto is scheduled to open in Toronto, Canada on June 18, 2025.

Prior to that, Porsche Cars Canada (PCL) announced that a special Porsche 911 GT3 RS will be auctioned at RM Sotheby's.

The auction is scheduled to start on June 10, 2025 (local time) and end on July 1.

A portion of the proceeds from the successful bid will be donated to Campfire Circle, a non-profit organization that aims to provide healing and hope through a camp experience for children with cancer and serious illnesses and their families.

The Canadian-spec GT3 RS built for this charity auction was produced in partnership between PCL and Germany's Porsche Sonderwunsch team.

The design was led by Grant Larson, the designer behind the first-generation Boxster and Panamera.

Now let's take a look at the details of the announced Canadian-spec GT3 RS.

This car is painted in the red and white colors of the Canadian flag.

The interior is finished in custom "Pepita" fabric, made especially for the project.

Under the hood are the autographs of Grant Larson, who oversaw the design, Andreas Preuninger, director of GT Car Line, and Boris Apenbrink, head of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.

Recently, Porsche likes to put someone's signature on special cars like this.

This GT3RS is a special car to celebrate the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto, so there are many PECTO logos on the car, even on the headrests.

Well, the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto is abbreviated as "PECTO".

In America there is a pet store called "PETCO," so I often confuse PECTO with PETCO... (I'm probably the only one who does this lol).

The door sill plaques feature the Toronto skyline.

By the way, the keys are also finished in a two-tone red and white color.

The left and right headlights also have red and white rings that match the body color.

The centre-lock wheels also feature red and white rings, as well as a red and white Canadian maple leaf design in the centre.

Speaking of maple leaves, they are featured prominently on the roof as well.

What's more, the successful bidder for this car will also receive a custom-made chronograph 911 GT3RS watch, as well as a 1/18 scale model of the car.

It also includes a driving experience at the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto.

Since it will probably be sold for a high price, I hope they will allow the driver to drive it as many times as they like per year, not just once.

If you win the bid, the car will be made to Canadian specifications, so if it is to be shipped to another country, you will need to confirm the specifications for each country.

The original price was 415,375 Canadian dollars (about 43.8 million yen), but how much will it ultimately cost?
