At the time, the car world thought that was Porsche at its most extreme, but the 911 is the car that keeps on giving. That had just 620 horsepower, and did a paltry 3.3 second 0-60 mph sprint. The new car is a major step up in performance from the previous 911 GT2 RS, from 2011. Stick shift fans, sorry, this machine is only coming with a tweaked version of Porsche’s seven-speed dual clutch automatic, with paddles behind the bright red steering wheel. A racing chassis with rear-axle steering and a modified stability control system will help keep the car glued to the pavement. The box clearly works, because Porsche’s hot-shoe racers took a GT2 RS round the Nürburgring in a production car record-breaking six minutes 47.3 seconds, which was a great deal faster than even Porsche had expected.To squeeze an extra 120 horsepower from the 3.8-liter engine in the 911 Turbo S, Porsche magicians added a pair of massive turbochargers and a clever extra cooling system which uses a spray of water to reduce the temperature of the compressed air as it’s sucked into the combustion cylinders, which helps boost power. Its powered by a 690-hp twin-turbo flat-six from the 911 GT2 RS, and. It’s an RS, and therefore it’s a PDK automatic, simply because it’s the fastest way of shifting. This is the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport 25 customer race car that celebrates Porsche and Manthey-Racings 25th anniversary. But that increases that to as much as 450kg if you tweak the adjustable wing. While the aerodynamic elements are largely shared with the GT3 RS, they’re even more obvious, allowing 340kg of downforce at the car’s 211mph top speed. The GT2 RS is deliberately overt, appealing to a customer who wants to be seen. Not that you could be left in any doubt on what it is. New Porsche 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition 2021 review.

It’s also light, weighing 1,470kg, and you can drop 29kg off that again if you add the Weissach Pack.
What’s more, being a GT2 RS, the new car drives through just two wheels, but it still has enough traction to get from 0-62mph in 2.8 seconds, and to double that speed in 8.3 seconds. There’s a 3.8-litre flat-six turbocharged engine in the back, driving through a seven-speed PDK paddle-shift automatic transmission and pumping out 690bhp – almost 120bhp more than a 911 Turbo S. Porsche’s latest and maddest 911 is a bit of a hybrid – not in the electrified sense we’re used to now, but because it’s a crossbreed with elements of the 911 Turbo S and the GT3 RS. Good as it is, though, the car’s £100,000 premium over the GT3 is hard to justify. They’ve always had a fearsome reputation, too, but the latest generation exhibits ferocious performance allied with an extraordinary delicacy. Porsche 911 GT2 RSs don’t come along particularly frequently, and they appeal to a very specific type of buyer.
