This is an awesome year to be a Porsche 911 enthusiasts, with the 991.2 lineup having now reached full maturity. And if you'll check out the GT Division side of the Neunelfer range, you'll easily understand that Zuffenhausen has somebody for every taste out there.
We've brought along a photo that can be used as an x-ray of the said sub-range. This pic shows a 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS spending some quality time with a 2018 GT3 at the Nurburgring - we'll tip our keyboards to the wilco blok automotive photography Facebook page for this image.
If we are to talk about the particularities of each supercar, we'll mention that while the GT2 RS does come with the Weissach Package, the GT3 doesn't sport the freshest Zuffenhausen pack around, namely the Touring Package.
Yes, we did mention that the German carmaker has something for every sportscar taste, but this implies that one's go-fast choice is backed by proper financial resources. We'll remind you that, while the 500 hp GT3 comes with an MSRP of $143,600, you'll have to pay double for the 700-pony GT2 RS.
One might wonder how this is translated into the Nurburgring lap times of the rear-engined beasts. Well, we obviously have to start with the recent Green Hell production car lap record of the Rennsport model, which went round the infamous German circuit in 6:47.3. As for the chronograph number of the naturally aspirated hero, this sits at an also-amazing 7:12.7.
Those of you willing to see a 100% complete 911 GT family will have to wait until next Sprint, though. That's when the 991.2 incarnations of the GT3 RS is expected to bow, with March's Geneva Motor Show being a likely venue for the debut of the atmospheric track special. Meanwhile, we'll remind you that we recently spied the Gen 2 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, with the prototype sill showing a mix of new and old exterior bits.
