Brendan Mok’s Fayence Yellow GT3 is among the most beautiful 997s we’ve ever seen.

For this owner highlight, we caught up with one of our own, Brendan Mok, Head of PR & Communications at Porsche Asia Pacific.

For Brendan, cars have always been more than machines, they’re stories of “spirited freedom to roam, David vs Goliath ambition, and genius born of necessity.” It’s this love of storytelling that anchors his passion for Porsche, a brand he describes as “universal — no matter who you are, everyone is a bit of a Porsche fan.”

His 997 GT3 channels that same spirit of balance and endurance. “It’s a perfect confluence of harmonies,” he says, comfortable enough for city drives yet raw and alive on track. Beneath its subtle exterior lie hidden upgrades: Ohlins suspension, a built motor, RSS arms, and a Clubsport-inspired interior. Finished in Fayence Yellow as a nod to the Carrera GT, it embodies his philosophy of “power from a hidden place.”

On the rear glass, a mosaic of stickers tells the rest of the story: alpine passes, Spa Francorchamps, FAT Zell am See. Among them, a rare “Porsche Asia Pacific 20 Years” decal and the “60 Years of 911” emblem from the S/T press event. It’s worth noting that most of these aren’t for show but have been earned, through hundreds and hundreds of logged miles, with the most recent and distant run being a 1,000+ mile drive from Singapore to Bangkok — making for a total mileage of nearly 65,000.

In addition to his beloved GT3, Brendan mentions there is also a 997.2 Turbo S and 993 Carrera in the lineup, with the latter being one he hopes to use as a vintage driver in the future. “If anything it is now a journey of maintaining and safekeeping these cars for the future, as I don’t see how I would trade these for anything else!”
