Always there if you go to the extreme: Awe.
The standard could hardly have been set any higher: the 911 GT2. The aim: to surpass it. The method: Porsche Intelligent Performance. The result: the new 911 GT2 RS. Not a muscle too few. Not a gram too much. No more than 500 available.
Never was there a more powerful series produced by Porsche. Were there any reservations? Negative thoughts? Doubt? Not in the slightest. Fear? No chance. Our engineers experienced just one feeling: awe. Before they started. And definitely after they had finished. A feeling that goes with you. Every metre, every second. Technology. Some figures cause astonishment, others create awe. The increased power of the 3.6-litre Boxer engine means that it now delivers 456 kW (620 hp) and maximum torque is 700 Nm, which is 90 hp and 20 Nm more than the 911 GT2.
The 911 GT2 RS sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds. From 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.8 seconds. And from 0 to 300 km/h (186 mph) in 28.9 seconds. Right up to 330 km/h (205 mph). The main factor responsible for this extra power is Porsche Intelligent Performance. An efficiency based concept incorporated inside every Porsche, resulting in the effective lightweight design for example. And the reason why the 911 GT2 RS is 70 kg lighter than the 911 GT2. The body is 26 mm wider at the front, allowing a 12 mm wider toe angle and wider tyres. The 19-inch GT2 RS wheels with central locking device also provide exceptional driving dynamics. The ride height, camber, toe angle, and the stabilisers on the front and rear axles can be adjusted individually for the racetrack. The fact that the chassis is connected more rigidly to the body allows for even more precise steering. For exact driving and control. High performance demands a high level of safety. So the new 911 GT2 RS has Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) fitted as standard
Additional brake ducts on the rear axle ensure that the brakes are effectively ventilated. Another standard feature is the Club sport package including a roll cage, a six-point safety harness and a fire extinguisher. The end result: no series-produced Porsche has ever reached this level of performance. None has achieved faster track times. None has deserved more awe.
Lightweight construction.
Anyone who wants to go beyond the horizon has to work on their performance – and concentrate on strength. The way to achieve this is to make sacrifices. But only with regard to weight. The new 911 GT2 RS is 70 kg lighter than the 911 GT2. Its weight-to-power ratio: just 2.21 kg/hp. For excellent performance. And with relatively moderate fuel consumption. This is achieved thanks to a whole series of modifications. In particular, the use of materials that are more typically found in motorsport. The front lid, the side air intakes on the charge air cooler, the slats in front of the front lid, the rear middle section, the rear spoiler lip and the rear wing are all constructed from carbon. As are the lightweight bucket seats and door sills with the ‘RS’ logo. The front mud flaps are also available in carbon as an option.
