The GT2 RS's reputation as the most powerful street-legal car is as monstrous as this comprehensive guide. Suffice to say, this supercar has been built with the best Porsche has to offer. It's not bragging, it's just facts. There is no doubt that the new GT2 RS is the pinnacle of the 911 in terms of performance. It is simply the fastest 911 in history, and that’s a fact. It is the quickest production car to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife. It is the most powerful 911 ever made.
This car was officially called as the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport, but the name is rather misleading. The car was not built for the GT2 racing class which is long extinct and club sport has stood for Porsche club track days while this non-streel-legal car is a real racing car. Finally, the car was based on the 991 GT2 RS, which already had the Clubsport version. So, in order to understand what is what, we call it "991 GT2 RS Clubsport racing version". The 991 GT2 RS engine with 515 kW was powerful enough, so it was not tuned.
991.2 GT2 RS – Most Powerful 911 Driven The Porsche 911 GT2 RS, then. Take a Porsche 911, add a turbocharged engine that’s even more powerful than the one you’ll find in a Turbo S, and fit suspension that’s even more focused than the GT3 RS. Hey presto; the GT2...
As had been anticipated, Porsche has beaten the Huracan Performante’s Norschleife lap time, and is now the fastest production car at the ‘Ring. The 911 GT2 RS lapped the Green Hell in 6:47.3 seconds. It tops our production car list for the fastest Nurburgring lap time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh8_2zQZ3xM  ...
Porsche set a new record for road-approved sports cars on the 20.6-kilometre Nürburgring Nordschleife in the 911 GT2 RS on September 20. The record time of 6 minutes and 47.3 seconds was achieved in the presence of a notary and surpassed even Porsche’s own expectations. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President Motorsport...
The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS, the most powerful road-approved 911 of all time, celebrated its world premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK on 30 June 2017. At the heart of this high-performance sports car is a 3.8-litre biturbo flat-6 engine developing 515kW (700hp). Weighing in...
Porsche’s 911 GT2 RS is a brute, a lightweight, twin-turbocharged, 620-hp bout of madness that stemmed from Stuttgart’s quest to see how high up the sports-car ladder the 911 could punch. It is the most serious roadgoing Porsche ever. The engine is a port-injected, 3.6-liter flat-six from the Le Mans–winning GT1 race car of the late ’90s, with a pair of variable-geometry turbochargers huffing a maximum of 23.2 psi of boost into the combustion chambers. The result is 620 hp at 6500 rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque at 2250. It gets a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-drive only. Yikes.
