Mat Watson from carwow reviews the Porsche 991 GT2 RS, the most powerful 911 ever built at the time. The video covers its aggressive design, including carbon-fiber bonnet, widebody panels, massive front splitter, large rear spoiler, and 20–21‑inch wheels.

Weight-saving features like polycarbonate windows, titanium exhaust, and carbon-fiber interior elements make the car lighter and more track-focused. Inside, low-slung carbon-fiber bucket seats, Alcantara trim, and minimalistic door pulls emphasize performance.

The 3.8‑liter twin-turbo flat-six produces 700 hp and 750 Nm, driving the rear wheels via a 7-speed PDK gearbox, enabling 0–100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph). Advanced tech like rear-wheel steering, adaptive suspension, torque-vectoring differential, and carbon-ceramic brakes provide precision handling.

Despite its track-bred focus, it remains drivable daily with decent visibility and relatively comfortable suspension. Limited to 500 units (some replaced due to shipping losses), the GT2 RS combines raw power, sharp handling, and extreme lightweight engineering, making it a brutally fast yet surprisingly manageable supercar.
