This Porsche RSR still has 10 km on the clock, and just doubled its 2023 price
Three auctions, one odometer reading. The only thing that ever changed about this Porsche RSR was what someone was willing to pay for it
RM Sotheby's sold a 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.8 Strassenversion at its Woodcote Park sale on July 8, 2026, for 3,492,500 pounds, roughly 4.09 million euro at that day's exchange rate. The same chassis has now crossed the block three times, in 2017, 2023, and 2026, and the odometer has read exactly 10 km every single time.
Three sales, one unchanged number
At RM Sotheby's Villa Erba sale in 2017, the car sold for 2,016,000 euro. At Bonhams in Abu Dhabi in 2023, it went for 2,127,500 dollars, around 1.95 million euro at the time. Nine years and two prior sales after that first result, the mileage has not moved by a single kilometer, but the price has roughly doubled since 2023 alone.
One of two, inside a car built to race
Porsche built 55 road-going Carrera RS 3.8s and 51 track-ready Carrera RSRs, and only two of those RSRs received this fully trimmed "Strassenversion" interior. Both were part of a private order for one client who also bought four Turbo S Leichtbau models alongside them, six special Porsches in total. The RSR's sister car, similarly finished, has covered 70 km, seven times the mileage of this one.
Red leather on almost everything
The silver exterior hides a cabin trimmed almost entirely in Guards Red leather, not just the seats, dashboard, and steering wheel, but the roll cage, steering column, center console, door panels, and even the lines of the pneumatic jack system. Gold-finished brake calipers and Speedline wheels with Amethyst Metallic centers finish the look. Under the rear wing sits an air-cooled 3.8-liter flat-six good for up to 380 hp, with twin ignition, a 120-liter fuel tank, air jacks, and a rear differential with 40 percent locking.
Nearly three years to build one car
Although catalogued as a 1993 model, the car was not delivered until March 25, 1996, with the client's extensive interior requests cited as the reason for the unusually long build time. It then disappeared into a private collection for roughly two decades before resurfacing in 2015 still showing 10 km, mileage RM Sotheby's attributes entirely to delivery and internal movement. The original tires are still fitted, the engine and Getrag G50 gearbox carry matching numbers, and much of the factory-applied Cosmoline protective coating never came off, leaving a multi-million-euro car that looks dusty rather than pristine in photos.
Why the price finally jumped
Hagerty's read on the 2026 collector market is a divided one: the broader classic car market has cooled, while the rarest cars at the very top keep setting outsized prices. A car this specific barely behaves like a normal market data point, there are only two Strassenversion RSRs in existence, and this is the one with less than a sixth of its sibling's mileage. It fits a pattern this season, with a Porsche Carrera GT recently breaking its own auction record and provenance-driven sales like Horacio Pagani's Ferrari 275 GTB4 showing the same top end of the market pulling away from everything below it.
AutoNext Take
Nothing about this car changed between 2023 and 2026 except what a buyer was willing to sign for, which says more about where collector money is flowing than about the Porsche itself. The 10 km reading is not really a spec anymore, it is the entire product, a state that gets less replaceable with every year it survives untouched.
That is also the trap sitting under the number. The next owner could drive it tomorrow and lose nothing mechanically, but they would spend a very expensive kilometer turning a genuine unicorn into just another well-preserved RSR.
