991 GT2 RS Clubsport Weissach

The rear-engine, rear-wheel drive Porsche 911 GT2 RS celebrated its official world premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK in 2017. It was here that the world was first introduced to Porsche’s fastest and most powerful street-legal 911 ever made. A few months later, the same car would go on to smash the lap record at the world famous Nürburgring Nordschleife, the legendary race track that has become the main car manufacturers’ testing ground.

With a lap time of 6 minutes 47.3 seconds, it completed the Ring 5 seconds faster than the Lamborghini Huracán Performante and 10 seconds faster than Porsche’s own million dollar 918 Spyder. Suffice to say, the 911 GT2 RS sits on the throne – equipped with its 3.8L flat-six twin-turbocharged 700 horsepower engine – with an unquestionable legitimacy to its claim. It didn’t get to the top with brute force alone – the GT2 RS is built to be as dexterous as it is powerful. Extensive work was done on the chassis to ensure that the agility and precision of the car were not overwhelmed by its own muscle, but rather, complemented by it.
