Announced to the public by Porsche Motorsport as “the most powerful, non-street legal, GT customer sports car we’ve ever built,” the 991-generation 911 GT2 RS Clubsport was a fire-breathing track-day special for the most die-hard 911 enthusiasts. Introduced alongside the then-brand-new 992-generation 911 at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show, this showcased that Porsche had truly saved the best 991 for last. Using the GT2 RS as its basis, the Clubsport benefits from a freer-flowing, unique exhaust system, whilst the entire car is also assembled in Porsche’s dedicated motorsport facility at Flacht, alongside the 911 GT3 Cup, 911 RSR, and, until recently, the Le Mans–winning 919 Hybrid. The chassis therefore benefits from being honed and tuned on the adjacent Weissach test track and features a raft of improvements over the road car.

Offered here is serial number 065 out of 200 examples built. A bill of sale on file shows a GT2 RS was sold new to Formula One superstar Max Verstappen in August of 2019, alongside an additional set of wheels and a spares package. Verstappen used the car with the trackday assistance of the Dutch racing team GP Elite. Based in De Ripj near Amsterdam, the team has a stellar reputation, especially in their work with Porsches and running cars in Porsche-based series like the Carrera Cup and Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. To many, they are the go-to outfit in the Benelux region for training and race support, especially in regards to Porsche.

With Verstappen and in the care of GP Elite, it was driven by both Max Verstappen and his father (and a former Formula One driver) Jos on a test day on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in January 2020. This was filmed as part of a Dutch miniseries released in 2020 called Max Verstappen: Whatever It Takes. Filmed to showcase Max Verstappen’s ascent within motorsport to Formula One, a number of key figures from his life accompany him on screen, with both his father and his sister Victoria present in Barcelona. Verstappen signed the car in three separate locations: on the passenger side dashboard, in the engine bay, and on the front hood. Furthermore, Verstappen’s name appears on the digital dash alongside Raymond Vermeulen, Verstappen’s manager. A photograph of Verstappen signing the car accompanies the car, in addition to the aforementioned bill of sale.

The GT2 RS Clubsport was imported from Belgium to the United States later in 2022 and since its arrival, it has remained largely in static storage. Pushing the 991 platform to its very limits, the GT2 RS Clubsport was built to provide maximum performance on the track through the platform of the most powerful roadgoing 911 produced at the time. Max Verstappen’s previous use of this particular car makes it all the more interesting.
