Factory color
Guards Red
Guards Red is one of Porsche's most recognizable colors: a rich, solid red with a minimal hint of orange and a special luminosity that makes a bold statement on any 911. Originally known as India Red, it has been offered as a standard 911 color since the 1970s. Earlier cars, including mid-1980s 911s, carried it under code 027, and it later appeared under codes 80K and 84A on models including the 964, 993 and 996 into the early 2000s.

The Porsche 911 GT3 997, part of the fifth generation of the iconic 911 lineup, was produced between 2006 and 2011. This model, revered by exotic car collectors for its track-focused design, saw approximately 2,378 units of the initial 997.1 version (2006-2009) and around 2,256 units of the updated 997.2 version (2009-2011), making it relatively rare compared to standard 911 variants. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six engine in the 997.1, delivering 415 horsepower, while the 997.2 featured a 3.8-liter engine with 435 horsepower. Both versions achieve 0-60 mph in around 4.0-4.3 seconds, with top speeds exceeding 190 mph.
Designed as a homologation model for racing, the GT3 997 offers a lightweight build, rear-wheel drive, and a manual transmission, appealing to purists. Its historical significance lies in its connection to Porsche’s motorsport heritage, particularly through limited-run variants like the GT3 RS, which added aggressive aerodynamics and performance upgrades. Values have appreciated significantly, with well-maintained examples often fetching over $100,000 USD as of recent market trends, driven by demand for analog driving experiences and limited production numbers.
