In an intriguing twist of market dynamics, a pre-loved 2022 Porsche 911 GT3, with a mere 600 kilometers on the odometer and swathed in an elegant Jet Black Metallic, refuses to bow down to depreciation, sporting a price tag that would make even the most affluent car aficionados do a double-take. Offered at a jaw-dropping INR 3.30 crore, this manual transmission masterpiece with the Touring Package is turning heads in DLF City Phase 3, Gurgaon, not just for its price but for its illustrious CH01CK registration plate, humorously interpreted by many as “CHICK”.
The twist? A brand spanking new 911 GT3 with the Touring Package can be had for INR 2.74 crore (Ex-showroom), making this offer a testament to the car’s desirability and the peculiar phenomenon where some wheels are just too hot to cool down in price. This second-owner gem is not just about looks; it packs a punch with a 3,996 cc, Flat-6 cylinder petrol engine, delivering a heart-racing 502 horsepower and 470 Nm of torque. Capable of reaching speeds up to 320 kmph and sprinting from 0-100 kmph in a mere 3.9 seconds, it’s no wonder this car is holding its value.
Enthusiasts and potential buyers might be scratching their heads at the price, but comments from the community shed some light on the situation. User sr39.ty noted the near-impossible task of securing an allocation for a new GT3, stating, “It’s almost near impossible to get an allocation for a new GT3. Unless Porsche wants you to have one.” Rajatb.21 chimed in with a local perspective, adding, “Not applicable in India. Few GT3 owners are first-time Porsche buyers in India,” highlighting the unique market conditions and the cachet of owning such a distinguished vehicle in the region.
This sale raises eyebrows and questions alike about the value of exclusivity, the allure of manual transmissions, and the undeniable charm of a vehicle that refuses to conform to market expectations. Whether this bold pricing strategy will find a buyer willing to pay a premium for this nearly new, barely driven marvel remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure: the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 with its “CHICK” plate is more than just a car; it’s a statement.
