991 GT2 RS 3.8L PDK (700 bhp)

At the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK from June 30th to July 2nd, 2017, Porsche unveiled its fastest and most powerful street-legal 911 ever, the rear-engine, rear-wheel drive 991.2 GT2 RS.

With a Nurburgring lap time of 6 minutes 47.3 seconds, it surpassed the Lamborghini Huracán Performante by 5 seconds and Porsche’s own 918 Spyder by 10 seconds, solidifying its place as the ultimate 911. Powered by a 3.8ltr flat-six twin-turbocharged engine delivering 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, the GT2 RS achieves peak torque from 2,250 to 4,000 rpm.

Equipped with a reinforced 7-speed PDK transmission, it accelerates from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 211 mph. The chassis enhancements, including adjustable suspension and ball joints for improved rigidity, ensure exceptional handling and road holding.

With weight-saving measures like carbon fiber components and optional packages, the GT2 RS weighs in at 3,241lbs, making it 286lbs lighter than the turbo S. Aerodynamically optimized with features like a fixed carbon rear wing and NACA air intakes, it strikes a balance between speed and agility, setting new standards for performance on both track and road.
