Porsche 911 GT2 RS Unleashed on the Track

Only mentioning Porsche's name brings spills down enthusiasts' spines. When we hear the automotive producer's name, we think about rear-engined madness, fine tuning and evolution. Studying how Porsche has worked to eliminate the negative effects of a rear-mounted engine over the decades is pure enjoyment.

Yes, we are aware of the fact that “Porsche” currently also means “SUVs” (the “s” comes from Cajun, the company’s upcoming mid-sized SUV), “sedan” and other types of vehicles but we’re really keen on the 911.

So, let’s see, what’s the meanest 911 (we are talking about factory stock vehicles here) in history? The number of answers to that question is probably equal to that of Porsche fans in the world so we’ll change the game a bit. What’s the most powerful road car Porsche has ever brought to the world?

This is a simple one. It’s the 911 GT2 RS. We are talking about a beast that packs a twin-turbo 3.6 liter boxer engine that puts 620 hp at the mercy of the driver’s right foot.

The powerplant allows the vehicle to play the 0 to 62 mph sprint in 3.5 seconds and can take its passengers up to a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).

But the GT2 RS can also deliver mind-blowing performance through the corners. This is where the car can be used as a tool to separate the true drivers from the rest of the population.

Porsche decided that it will only allow 500 mortals to enjoy the GT2 RS experience, with all the units having already found their owners. Now that the sales have been taken care of, Porsche is using the vehicle as a marketing tool. The company is offering us a video that shows the 911 GT2 RS being put through its paces at the Porsche Experience Centre and on the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit in the UK.

Before we end this story, we have to remind you that Porsche is offering you a chance to get behind the wheel of a 911 GT2 RS.
