Always there if you go to the extreme:
Awe.
The standard could hardly
have been set any higher: the
911 GT2. The aim: to surpass it.
The method: Porsche Intelligent
Performance. The result: the
new 911 GT2 RS.
Not a muscle too few. Not a gram
too much. No more than 500
available. Never was there a more
powerful series produced by
Porsche.
Were there any reservations?
Negative thoughts? Doubt? Not in
the slightest. Fear? No chance.
Our engineers experienced just
one feeling: awe. Before they
started. And definitely after they
had finished.
A feeling that goes with you.
Every metre, every second.
Technology.
Some figures cause astonishment,
others create awe. The increased
power of the 3.6-litre Boxer
engine means that it now delivers
456 kW (620 hp) and maximum
torque is 700 Nm, which is 90 hp
and 20 Nm more than the 911 GT2.
The 911 GT2 RS sprints from
0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5
seconds. From 0 to 200 km/h
(124 mph) in 9.8 seconds. And
from 0 to 300 km/h (186 mph)
in 28.9 seconds. Right up to
330 km/h (205 mph).
The main factor responsible for
this extra power is Porsche Intelli-
gent Performance. An efficiency-
based concept incorporated inside
every Porsche, resulting in the
effective lightweight design for
example. And the reason why
the 911 GT2 RS is 70 kg lighter
than the 911 GT2.
The body is 26 mm wider at the
front, allowing a 12 mm wider toe
angle and wider tyres. The 19-inch
GT2 RS wheels with central locking
device also provide exceptional
driving dynamics.
The ride height, camber, toe angle,
and the stabilisers on the front and
rear axles can be adjusted individu-
ally for the racetrack. The fact that
the chassis is connected more
rigidly to the body allows for even
more precise steering. For exact
driving and control.
High performance demands a
high level of safety. So the new
911 GT2 RS has Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM),
Porsche Stability Management
(PSM) and Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brakes (PCCB) fitted as
standard. Additional brake ducts
on the rear axle ensure that the
brakes are effectively ventilated.
Another standard feature is the
Clubsport package including a roll
cage, a six-point safety harness
and a fire extinguisher.
The end result: no series-produced
Porsche has ever reached this
level of performance. None has
achieved faster track times.
None has deserved more awe.
