911 GT2 RS

2017–2019Coupé

Unveiled at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the GT2 RS was the most powerful production 911 yet: 700 PS (515 kW; 690 hp) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) from a 3.8-litre twin-turbo six, driven through a seven-speed PDK to the rear wheels only. It covers 0–100 km/h in 2.8 s, reaches 340 km/h (211 mph) and weighs 1,470 kg (3,241 lb) — about 2.1 kg per horsepower. The optional Weissach package saves a further 30 kg with carbon and magnesium parts, including braided carbon wheels. On 27 September 2017 a production car lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6:47.3, then the fastest-ever by a road-legal Porsche.
