Not only is the 911 GT2 RS an incredibly rare, special sports car, this specific one didn't even finish its break-in mileage before getting wrecked, with only 361 miles on the odometer. Some Copart cars are salvageable and can be had cheap enough that repairing them makes sense. Not this one, though; this[ 911 GT2 RS ]()looks like a goner. How this 911 GT2 RS met its fate is unclear, but its entire passenger-side front fender is gone, the front and rear passenger-side wheel carriers look bent, the A-pillar is damaged, and so too is the roof. The driver-side door is mangled, too, and it doesn't even have a rear hood. There looks to be some pretty significant chassis damage, so this car is likely toast. ![]() ![]() ![]() That doesn't mean it can't still be valuable, though. Since most of its damage is at the front, its rear-mounted twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine and eight-speed dual-clutch transmission could still be good. It also still has some good interior bits despite every airbag coming to the rescue. Its seats look to still be in decent shape, and the same goes for its center console and touchscreen. So anyone that could use such parts for their own project 911 might be interested in this crashed GT2 RS. Leftover parts are likely little consolation to Porsche enthusiasts, however. Not only is the 911 GT2 RS a very rare car in the U.S., this specific one wears a fantastic color scheme. The car itself is painted in a dark shade of green, with black accents (such as the outside door handles), the rear fender intake vent, and black wheels, along with a few yellow touches, like the "GT2 RS badge" and yellow brake calipers. ![]() ![]() ![]() When writing this, this wrecked 911 GT2 RS had less than 24 hours before it moves on to a new owner. The current bid is up to $25,500. It would be interesting to know what the potential buyers have planned for a car that clearly needs a fortune to fix. Until then, though, seeing a rare car like the [GT2 RS ]()wind up as a mangled mess in a junkyard breaks my heart. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
