    Default 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Announced

    Well Porsche has announced the 2011 GT2 RS
    620hp, 3020lb, 500 made, $240k US, 7:18 ring time
    Had to post since I love everything 911

    We're guessing that as you read this one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is on hold with a Porsche dealer trying to see how much he can get in trade for a 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. With only 500 such models slated to be made, he probably won't get much – and when he pleads, "But my steed destroys human souls!", the dealer will reply, "Ours does, too..."

    The 3,020-pound GT2 RS gets 620 twin-turbocharged horses from its 3.6-liter engine, making it the most powerful Porsche you can legally put on the roads. That's 90 more horses pushing 154 pounds less weight than in the previous version, and it gets five percent better fuel economy. Ground control is handled with tires specifically created for the car, carrying it from zero to sixty miles per hour in 3.4 seconds. On the one hand, that's 0.3 slower than the Porsche Turbo S; on the other, there's a 205 mph top speed and a 7:18 'Ring time.

    Note too the matte carbon fiber bodywork and the black and red Alcantara interior. It'll go on proper show in Moscow later this year, and it'll run $245,000 when deliveries begin in October. Follow the jump for the release, and be on the lookout for three horsemen and a water-cooled boxer...

    is that really necessary?
    the regular GT2 is nick named "widow maker", because it kills alot of drivers, and they feel the need to beef it up more..
    i couldnt imagine driving one

    This thing is soooo nice. I love the GT2 because it's such an agressive car.

    Imagine being the dude that shelled out all the money for a GT3 RS and one day GT2 RS will pass you

    I personally think the GT3 and GT2 comparison is apples to oranges. One being NA, the other boosted. Two different cars, two different styles of driving.

    Well for starters the GT3 isn't twin-turbo charged. Also I'm pretty sure the new GT3s have a 3.8L engine whereas this has a 3.6L engine. And I'm pretty sure the GT3s are lighter.

    GT3 RS is the ultimate N/A Porsche. GT2 RS is the ultimate turbo'd porsche.

    Nice, but there are tons of other cars out there that are probably just as satisfying.
