Porsche Cars Canada has unveiled a stunning one-off 2024 911 GT3 RS featuring an unmistakably Canadian design, now available through a charity auction running until July 1, 2025. This exceptional vehicle, dubbed the “PECTO GT3 RS,” was created to celebrate the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto and showcases the remarkable capabilities of Porsche’s Sonderwunsch customization program.
Bold Canadian-Inspired Livery Sets This GT3 RS Apart
The PECTO GT3 RS features an undeniably Canadian livery that pays homage to the Canadian flag using Porsche’s Guards Red and White colors. The exterior color split follows the steering wheel’s 12 o’clock position, with two-thirds of the vehicle painted in Guards Red and one-third in White. A striking duotone maple leaf adorns the roof, serving as the centerpiece of this patriotic design.
The attention to detail extends throughout the vehicle, with contrasting accent colors appearing on the GT3 RS side graphics, wheel outer lips, center-lock designs, Porsche script underneath the rear wing, and PECTO logos on either side of the rear wing.
Interior Features Canadian-Themed Customization
Inside, the Canadian theme continues with Pepita inserts on seat centers and door cards in contrasting red and white, accompanied by red and white contrast stitching and pass-throughs on carbon fiber bucket seats. The illuminated door sills feature a Toronto skyline graphic instead of the usual ‘GT3 RS’ script, while red seatbelts and PECTO logos on headrests complete the patriotic interior package.

Auction Details and Charity Beneficiary
RM Sotheby’s is handling the sealed-bid auction, which runs through 3 PM ET on Canada Day (July 1), with expectations around $500,000 CAD. The winning bidder receives not only the vehicle but also a scale model, a one-off Porsche Design Chronograph, and a driving experience at the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto.
Any amount over the reserve price will benefit Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium), a charity supporting kids with cancer or serious illness and their families since 1983. The organization provides in-hospital, community, and overnight camp programs that help children build friendships and develop resilience.
Import Considerations for International Buyers
While the auction welcomes international participants, American buyers must convert the vehicle to U.S. specifications before road use. The vehicle meets Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and includes Transport Canada’s National Safety Mark certification.
This extraordinary auction represents more than just acquiring a rare Porsche—it’s an opportunity to own a piece of automotive art while supporting a worthy cause. The PECTO GT3 RS stands as a testament to both Porsche’s engineering excellence and Canadian automotive passion.
