Porsche Sells Out Entire Run of 911 GT2 RS

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos



How do you sell a $245,000 supercar? Easy. Make only 500 of them.

That's what Porsche's done with its latest top-of-the-line 911 GT2 RS. The 620-horsepower lightweight sportscar runs up to 62 miles per hour in just 3.5 seconds and tops out at 202, making it one of the most extreme street-legal machines ever built by the German automaker. And mere months after it was announced, all 500 examples have been spoken for. Now that's fast.

Porsche Releases New Flagship 911 GT2 RS

Looking for the new top-of-the-line from Stuttgart? Look no further, because this is it. The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS, leaked just days ago from its dealer preview, has now been officially released.

Stripped down to 3,020 pounds and boosted to 620 horsepower, the GT2 RS is a veritable rocket sled. Its 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat six has been boosted by 90 horses, encumbered by 154 fewer pounds than the GT2 on which it is based. Unlike the 911 Turbo S – Porsche's other top-of-the-line supercar – the GT2 RS drives all that power through the rear wheels exclusively. The result, if you've got the driving talent, is a 0-60 spring in 3.4 seconds, a 205 mph top speed and a devastating Nurburgring lap time of 7:18. Carbon fiber aero bits and an Alcantara micro-suede interior round out the package. Only 500 examples will be made, however, selling for $245,000 apiece.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Leaks Out of Dealer Preview

Porsche 911? Fast. Porsche 911 GT3? Faster. 911 GT3 RS? Even faster. 911 GT2? Well, you're getting the point. So what do you suppose would happen if Porsche were to produce a 911 GT2 RS? Well, we're about to find out.

The new king of the hill from Stuttgart was just previewed to a group of dealers a couple of days ago, one of which managed to sneak out this sole shot, likely taken on a camera phone. It's expected to top the existing GT2's 560 horsepower with 620, all driven through the rear wheels (unlike the all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo on which it's based) and unburdened by 200 pounds of removed excess weight. A 240,000-euro price tag is expected to come along with it, but so is a 3.2-second 0-62 time. Watch this space tuned for more, as the car is expected to debut this coming September.
