let me be the first....it'll Tcut out!

That's gotta hurt, how was the occupants?

What the hell! Looking at the the engine would be the only saveable bit (if it survived that sort of impact). There's no way that can be safely repaired. Does it come with the driver's organs in a bucket?

TBH the engine internals should still be ok, but you've still got to be soft in the head to buy that.

Engine / rear end looks alright, great project for someone to reshell?

How much is a second hand GT3 RS going for?

Kristoph · 30 Jun 2008 at 15:02

Feature Sets:
ABS, Alloy wheels, Central locking, Electric windows, Immobilizer, Leather seats

I have a feeling the electric windows might be a little stiff to open and close.

£90K plus

Well there are some expensive parts on there you could sell. I suspect for breaking it might be worth £35K ish. The engine is probably worth £20K second hand, and the ceramic brakes about £4Kish. The seats too would probably fetch £4K or more, and the boot section with spoiler would be worth something too, maybe a couple of grand. There are probably a few other bits too, but it is not something to buy to 'fix' as it will be worth zero come resale time.

Aren't the GT3 engine's hand built mental things that cost about £60k new? If so I guess that's what they're hoping a prospective buyer will be paying for.

Then why didn't they just strip the car, seeing a GT3 in that state would put anyone with a brain off the thing.

The GT3 driver had a big advantage, Merlin didn't have enough power for a proper crash
