Dua Lipa Is Auctioning Off a Special Porsche 911 GT3 RS for Charity

From singer to Porsche ambassador

British-Albanian popstar Dua Lipa may be one of this generation’s pop music powerhouses with Billboard chart-topping hits like “Don’t Start Now” and “Levitating,” but in addition to being behind some notable Grammy-nominated earworms over the years, she also serves as a brand ambassador for the storied German performance powerhouse Porsche.

While her partnership began with her participation in a self-directed and self-written promotional film for the electric Macan crossover last year, the “Dance the Night” singer teamed up with Porsche to configure a special one-of-one 911 GT3 RS that is set to cross the virtual auction block.

Meet the Dua Rennstall

Officially dubbed the Dua Lipa Rennstall GT3 RS, Lipa’s special RS is being auctioned off to support her charity, which is dedicated to supporting Kosovan youth. The special 911 was first revealed during the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix weekend before the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup race on the Formula 1 support bill, which took place between Lipa’s Radical Optimism world tour concerts in Paris and Prague.

The highlight of this special Lipa-spec GT3 RS is its eye-catching livery, which is comprised of a psychedelic-esque swirl-stripe of red, gold, and dark green over turquoise, Porsche, Puma, and Mobil 1 logos, plus a wordmark with the “Dua Lipa Renstall” name along the side and bonnet. According to the auctioneers, the special paint scheme reflects the “vibrancy” of the pop star’s elaborate stage designs and performances.

According to RM Sotheby’s, which is handling the auction on its website, the 911 GT3 RS used for this build was a highly specified example finished in Arctic Grey with a black leather and Race-Tex-trimmed interior featuring Guards Red stitching. Notably, the Dua Rennstall is equipped with the Weissach Package, a $34,730 package with an extensive selection of lightweight components like magnesium wheels, carbon fiber bodywork, and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) chassis components that reduce the vehicle’s weight by about 33 lbs.

Other options added to the special build include some beefy Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes with yellow-painted callipers and a front-axle lift system for those steep driveways. Much of the interior is left unchanged, like the evident guards-red stitching on the seats and on the faces of the gauges.

Recently, Lipa’s Rennstall was featured at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where she sat shotgun next to Karen Gaillard of the all-female Iron Dames sports car team, to tackle the famous Goodwood Hillclimb. In remarks to Sky Sports, Lipa briefly touched on her involvement in creating the special car.

“I feel very lucky to get to work with the Porsche team and to create something that feels really unique and fun and to bring it down here to Goodwood,” Lipa said.

Porsche for a cause

All proceeds from the sale of the special GT3 RS will be donated to the Sunny Hill Foundation, the charity started by Lipa herself. Established in 2018, the charity is dedicated to supporting Kosovan youth, with a focus on promoting the arts and culture.

Since its inception, the Sunny Hill Foundation has funded scholarships across Kosovo for young women to access quality STEM education, supported 17 cultural organizations and NGOs, and also given young Kosovans access to comprehensive arts education and training through partnerships with the OCS Institute of Arts and Innovation in Los Angeles and the Musikmakarna Academy in Sweden.

Final thoughts

The Dua Lipa Rennstall GT3 RS has an estimated value of over 400,000 Euros (or about $464,000), though the final hammer price will be revealed after the online auction ends on July 31. According to RM Sotheby’s, the odometer has over 3,200 miles following “light use in select promotional activities.”

Porsche is no stranger to using star power to promote its cars. In recent years, it gave actor Adrien Brody an opportunity to get up close and personal at the Porsche factory and teamed up with BLACKPINK member and K-Pop superstar Jennie to promote the Sonderwunsch program in South Korea with a one-of-a-kind Taycan 4S Cross Turismo.

It is nice to see that, once in a while, these ‘partnerships’ or ‘engagements’ become something more profound than a few #ad posts on social media. Knowing Lipa’s deep dedication to her Albanian Kosovan heritage (she is an honorary dual citizen of Albania), it makes sense that she wants to use her partnership as a vehicle, especially if it’s something for her charity.
