Richard Hammond's Porsche 911 GT3 RS could be yours... if you pay what they're asking for it

We know of his passion for Porsche 911s, we know of his passion for expensive cars, we even know of his passion for driving to the limit, both on and off set, which has led to more than one scare, but what we didn’t know, and now do, is which of the cars in his collection was going to be the next to leave his garage, and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS that Richard Hammond is parting with is one of the wildest and most thrilling variants ever built by the German firm.

It’s more common than it might seem for media stars to buy the latest versions of the most luxurious and exclusive cars, only to see them put up for sale a short time later, as the members of the world’s most famous motoring presenting trio have shown us.

From the Ferrari 458 Speciale that his colleague James May bought, to the gleaming Mercedes-AMG CLK 63 Black Series of the all-powerful Jeremy Clarkson, the garages of these three personalities have been a hive of comings and goings, and we must now add Richard Hammond’s Porsche 911 GT3 RS to that list.
