Drifting a Porsche 911 GT2 RS With One Hand Looks Easy

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS, with its rear-engined layout and its 700 horsepower sent to the rear wheels, shouldn't be an easy machine to handle at the limit. And yet Zuffenhausen engineers have already proven worthy of the magician title, with this Neunelfer proving remarkably maneuvrable when grip isn't in sight.
We always enjoy keeping an eye out for examples that demonstrate the connection between the Rennsport Neunelfer and its driver, with the one that brought us here today involving drifting, as you've figured out by now.

In fact, you might consider the Instagram post at the bottom of the page, which shows the Porscha performing the sideways ritual, a season card for Porschephiles (and for many others).

We're talking about a brief video that allows us to see the 991.2 Porsche 911 GT2 RS drifting on a snowy road. The action takes place in the Dolomites, where the Giau Pass delivers some of Italy's finest roads.

And, as you can notice in the clip, the aficionado behind the wheel appears to slide using just one hand - this is a gearhead known as powerslidelover, with the nickname being self-explanatory.

Then again. nobody's perfect, as we find out from the short description of the video, which reads "when you mess up and stop the video too early,"

Here's why you might be experiencing deja vu after checking out this clip

Now, this tale might seem familiar. If that happens to be the case, it's probably because we've previously shown you the same aficionado sliding his GT2 RS with one hand on dry roads.

And, as we've done in the past, we'll ask you not to use such hooning samples as an example. In other words, it's best to stay on the safe side and hit the track when the need to slip angles kicks in.

There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
