Stolen Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

This is a really bad news for every automotive lover.

According to GT Spirit: In a tale all too similar to that of Jessica Barton who had her Toyota Supra stolen and scrapped for parts, a German owner of an equally unique Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 recently experienced the same frustration when his car which was stolen on the 30th of January, turned up in the heart of snow-covered Germany with little more than its shell.

Asides from the shell, some of the interior remains, including Porsche’ sports-oriented steering wheel, very little of the car remains with even its fuel tank being removed. It’s anyone’s guess as to why someone would go to so much effort stripping the car down when it could have easily been sold and the person responsible for the theft could have come out quite a rich individual.

Nevertheless, it’s very unlikely that this GT3 RS 4.0 will ever live again, as the owner would be much more likely to simple replace it with a brand new car rather than trying to salvage it for its remaining few parts.

That's a shame, someone is running around with a 4.0 clone with the real parts on it

A vey un-noble (apparent) ending to one of the greats.

what would the thief think will do with those parts.Unfortunately for him, every cent earned by selling those parts will be spent by himself in medicines and doctors

Hmmm. 3.8 owner looking to upgrade? Would be interesting to know if they took the ECU as well.
