The Porsche 911 (997.2) GT2 RS is a high-performance version of the 997.2 generation 911, produced from 2010 to 2012. It is powered by a naturally aspirated flat-six engine that produces 620 horsepower at 6,750 rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm.
The 3.8-liter engine features a unique design with a large intake system and a exhaust system featuring two titanium exhaust valves, one on each side. The engine's power output is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission or an optional seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox.
The GT2 RS weighs in at 3,272 pounds (1,480 kg), making it the lightest production car in its class. Its aerodynamics are enhanced with a front splitter, side skirts, and a massive rear wing that produces 220 pounds of downforce at 124 mph (200 km/h).
The suspension features adaptive damping controlled by an electro-pneumatic system, which adjusts to road conditions and driver input. The GT2 RS rides on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, measuring 265/30 R20 front and 295/25 R21 rear.
Interior features include a lightweight Alcantara roof liner, sport seats with integral head restraints, and a four-spoke steering wheel. Optional equipment includes a Bose sound system and navigation.
The GT2 RS accelerates from 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in just 3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h). Its stopping power comes from six-piston brake calipers with 390 mm slotted front rotors and four-piston rear calipers with 360 mm vented rotors.
Production was limited to 1,000 units worldwide. The GT2 RS holds the title as one of the fastest naturally aspirated production cars ever made, with a lap time at the Nürburgring of 6:57 minutes.
