By now, anybody with even a remote interest in Neunelfers has had the chance to find out just how brilliant of a performer the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean that taking the Rennsport Neunelfer to the drag strip isn't worthy of our attention.
In fact, during a recent drag strip stint, the Neunelfer managed to deliver monstrous numbers. Fortunately, it's all been caught on camera and you can check it out below.
The most impressive sprinting figure of the 700 horsepower Porscha has to be the one regarding the 0 to 60 mph, with this taking place in 2.4 seconds (to be more precise, that's 2.47 seconds).
This places the rear-engined machine ahead of monsters like the 1,500 hp Bugatti Chiron, even though the Zuffenhausen toy is rear-wheel drive. Other comparos involve the LaFerrari, a 963 hp RWD halo car that also needs 2.4 seconds for the said task.
And while Dodge claims the Challenger SRT Demon can play the game in 2.3 seconds, let's keep in mind the muscle car has been optimized for the drag strip.
As for the quarter-mile time of the German missile, this sits at 10.14 seconds, so only a blink separated the thing from becoming a 9s car.
Once again, we'll remind you that straight-line running wasn't the top priority of the German engineers who designed the machine. That title went to blitzing circuits, as the 911 GT2 RS holds the Nurburgring street-legal vehicle lap record.
We'll remind you that while the 6:47 recod of the standard Porsche 911 GT2 RS was grabbed by the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ (the Raging Bull did it in 6:44), a Mantey Racing-modded (the company is owned by Porsche) example of the 911 managed to lap the Green Hell in 6:40.
Returning to the drag strip action that brought us here, the video depicting the stunt involves all the acceleration numbers you could ever wish for.
