Since the Sonderwunsch program primarily works on design, the 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six will be the same as always, peaking at 518 horsepower and 342 lb-ft of torque from the factory.
Porsche presented the bespoke GT3 RS to Bergmeister in Zuffenhausen earlier this month, coinciding with his 48th birthday. The car is undergoing full paint protection, with the German driver not planning to use it as a daily car because it is a “little too precious” to him.
“I’m still proud of what we achieved back then at Daytona, and this car has brought back those memories already. I’m not usually that emotional, but when I first saw it, I got goosebumps. I feel so fortunate that it’s finally done, and I’m super-stoked with how it’s turned out,” said Bergmeister.
