Dua Lipa, the British pop star behind hits like “Levitating” and “Don’t Start Now,” has a secret passion: cars. She’s co-designed a bespoke Porsche 911 GT3 RS, a beautifully engineered machine that combines Porsche’s precision with Lipa’s style. Up for auction to support her Sunny Hill Foundation, this is a showstopper.
Under the bonnet is a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine that revs to 9,000 rpm and puts out 518 horsepower through a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox. It goes from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 184mph. Downforce is massive – 860kg at 177mph – thanks to active aerodynamics and a Formula 1-style drag-reduction system on the massive rear wing. The Weissach Package, a $34,730 option, shaves 22kg off with carbon-fibre components and magnesium wheels in Satin Pyro Red. Ceramic composite brakes with yellow calipers and a front-axle lift for speed bumps complete the high-performance setup.

- Open the doors to access a radar screen, working steering, fire extinguisher system and a track map of the Laguna Seca
Starting with an Arctic Grey base, the GT3 RS now has a vibrant livery inspired by her Radical Optimism tour’s Mediterranean vibe. Turquoise leads, with red, gold and dark green stripes that echo classic Porsche race cars but with a modern, bold twist. “Dua Lipa Rennstall” logos on the hood, sides and rear, plus Porsche, Puma and Mobil 1 branding. Red single-lug wheels add to the motorsport heritage. Inside, black leather and Race-Tex upholstery with Guards Red stitching, with the tacho and stopwatch in the same color, blending luxury with a racing feel.
Unveiled at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, the car was driven around the streets of Monte Carlo with Lipa in the passenger seat, the flat-six roar echoing through the tunnels. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed she joined Iron Dames driver Karen Gaillard for the hillclimb.
With just over 3,200 miles from select promotional events, it feels barely driven and full of stories.Auction: July 12-31, 2025. Estimate: over $470,000. Above the standard GT3 RS’s $250,000 price tag due to the bespoke livery and celebrity connection. All proceeds to Sunny Hill Foundation, Lipa’s charity established in 2018 to support Kosovo’s arts and culture.
