The first 992 GT3 RS to reside in Shanghai.
All 992 GT3 models are not officially imported to China. At first, we believed Porsche's excuse that those cars don't meet China's newest emission regulations. But later the parallel imported cars are running on streets, we find out that the problem is not technical. The real problem is that Porsche doesn't want to make certifications and tests, because GT3s have different engines from basic models, which means extra cost. Even if Porsche makes the largest portion of its profit in Chinese market by selling cheaper models like Macan and Panamera, it just doesn't want to sell top-end products here.
To make it more ridiculous, Porsche sells 992 GT3 RS as a race car in China at RMB ¥3 million ($418k) along with many other costs. And all cars are in the same spec, no Weissach, no special colours, no painted wheels. Those "race cars" can't get a license plate so they are not road legal. But they are not real race cars either so they can't compete in races. You can only drive them at very limited occasions like track days. Naturally, not a single car is sold.
Customers who want to buy a road legal 992 GT3 can only get one through parallel import which means double price. This one with Weissach Package and red wheels matching the colour costs almost RMB¥7 million ($974k). I wonder if Porsche would regret not importing 992 GT3s when they see Chinese customers are so enthusiastic about those cars.
