Available for auction is a painting by Greg Stirling featuring the "Porsche 911 GT3 - Purple Sunset" Painting By Greg Stirling. This 33" x 50" painting is made from acrylic media on canvas.



Simply put, the 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 and the all-out track-attack GT3 RS are utterly transcendent, blending everything we love about the standard 911 with otherworldly performance, uncompromised driving enjoyment, and hot-lap capability. A naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine makes demonic sounds as it howls up to its 9000 rpm redline, producing 502 horsepower along the way in the GT3 and GT3 Touring. That same engine is twisted to 518 horsepower in the new GT3 RS, but it’s that model’s wild race-car aerodynamic elements—ideas cribbed from GT and Formula 1 race cars—that comprise its major engineering advancements. A six-speed manual is standard in GT3 models but we’ve proven the optional seven-speed PDK automatic is quicker, as it shifts quicker than a human and seems to be linked to the driver’s cerebral cortex. The GT3 RS comes only with the PDK gearbox. While the GT3 and GT3 Touring models are designed to thrill on the world’s most challenging race courses, they’re nearly as supple-riding and easy to live with as the regular 911 when driven on city streets. It’s this dual-purpose nature that makes the GT3 one of our favorite sports cars and why it easily earns a place on the highest pedestal of automotive icons. As for the GT3 RS, it’s as serious about lap times as a 911 can get and still be licensed. We can’t wait to drive it to see if it’s too radical a car for anything but track duty.



Greg Stirling started painting in 1980. After going through three decades of self-guided exploration in abstract expressionism, the art of the 20th century, and post-war impressionism, he arrived at the door of realism. To continue his area of study, Greg experimented with new techniques, media as well as innovative processes and concepts. Mr. Stirling is also an engineer, kinetic metal sculptor, and automotive enthusiast.



A message from the seller: "I decided to mate this 911 Targa with an aircraft carrier and dock background such as might be found at Long Beach - Enjoy!! The proceeds from this auction will be donated to the victims of hurricane Ian, particularly my friend and high school classmate Greg Glenton of North Fort Myers Florida, whose house was devastated by up to six feet of storm surge, and 4 inches of mud, during Hurricane Ian. They managed to get their 2 dogs, the clothes on their back, and his truck to get out of harm's way. Everything else was ruined. They did not have flood insurance and homeowners insurance had already notified them that they are not paying. This money is needed for them to take care of the immediate things to get back on their feet only. They will get with FEMA for disaster help but all of that will take a long time. Greg is a double amputee and is going through dialysis." Fees for packaging, shipping, and handling are $245, anywhere in the United States. The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and fees.
