Frequent teasers, leaked photographs and rumours have revolved around the highly anticipated Porsche 911 GT2 RS for the past week, but now, finally, it\u2019s official. The mighty 911 GT2 RS has made its official debut at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Lo and behold a car that will be the benchmark for modern supercars; the most powerful and fastest 911 built to date, made to challenge the laws of physics. <\/p>\n
To put together the most radical 911 to date, Porsche has compiled quite an impressive performance figures. The GT2 RS is powered by a 515-kW – 700 horsepower \u2013 twin turbo, 3.8-liter, flat-6 engine and weighs only 1,470 kg with a full tank of fuel. With 750 Nm of torque (maximum torque is already available at just 2,500 rpm), the rear wheel drive (and rear-axle steering), coup\u00e9 does the 0 \u2013 100 km\/h sprint in a staggering 2.8 seconds, and will go on to reach a top speed of 340km\/h. The 200km\/h barrier is reached after only 8.3 seconds. What\u2019s more, the tachometer of the 911 GT2 RS will now read up to 400 km\/h \u2013 a premiere in the 911\u2019s 54-year production history. By comparison, the 918 Spyder has a tachometer reaching up to 350 km\/h. <\/p>\n
Mind you that this is all coming from a \u2018mere\u2019 911 \u2013 a car that is now reaching performance figures that give certain hypercars a run for their money. Starting at \u20ac285,000 in Germany (VAT paid) the GT2 RS certainly offers a bang for one\u2019s buck. <\/p>\n\r\n
