| Porsche has gone Mad.... 911 GT2 RS
 Quote:
We don't have much in the way of details, but a singular shot snapped at a dealer event yesterday shows that the baddest Porsche 911 ever to grace the tarmac is coming this September.
According to a tipster, the GT2 RS will carry a price tag of 240,000 euro when it arrives later this year and will supposedly pack enough power to topple the Carrera GT. Earlier reports indicate that the revised GT2, recently caught testing at the Nürburgring, will put out over 560 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque. However, it's safe to assume those figures will be increased In RS trim and we can expect a fully-adjustable suspension, roll cage and possibly some active aerodynamics. The press introduction is apparently scheduled for May 14th, so official details on Porsche's newest rear-wheel drive road warrior should be forthcoming.
UPDATE: A forum member at TeamSpeed has some preliminary stats from the launch in Leipzig. The new GT2 RS is reportedly packing 620 hp and will come in nearly 200 pounds lighter than the current GT2. The 0-62 mph time is pegged at 3.2 seconds with a rumored 'Ring time of... wait for it... 7:22 – the same as the Dodge Viper ACR.

GT3 is the NA version so it's not going to be anywhere nearly as fast as this.

GT2 MSRP is at about 240k+ currently.
GT3's new go for about 160k... GT3RS are about 180k
GT2= lighter turbo w/o awd and more power.
i still think the GT2 is usually bought just for bragging rights on the street.
Turbos are plenty enough for daily drivers, while GT3's are agressive street cars.

911 carrera or Carrera 4 --> Carrera S or 4S --> GT3 --> GT3RS --> Turbo --> Turbo S --> GT2 --> GT2 RS
dont forget the cabrio and targa models for the regular 911, S and turbo models.
i dont think GT2's are officially in canada. MCL is willing to hook one up for customers if they shell out 240k (that was coming from a customer that came into weissach looking for one)

well engine wise
i guess it goes the order u put it
911 carrera or Carrera 4 --> Carrera S or 4S --> GT3 --> GT3RS --> Turbo --> Turbo S --> GT2 --> GT2 RS
so turbo version is greater than GT3, but GT2 is the almighty other than the CGT of course

pretty much.. dont forget the price too!
but the turbo and GT3 are two completely different approaches to 911.
GT3 has more personality... its a more raw of a car. it feels more.. special.
as for the turbo, its more of a comfortable daily driver that is more powerful than a regular 911.
ive driven both... and from an enthusiast stand point... GT3 > turbo when it comes to feel alone. the N/A 3.8 cars sounds wayyyyy better than the turbo cars.
as for daily, Turbo wins hands down.
all depends on what you want really. most people that buy 911's own/ have owned several.

they are only making 95 GT2 RS world wide
less then 300 997.1 GT2 was sold in North America, and no more then 1000 world wide.
PDK might be available on the .2 GT2

im kinda creeped out that ur posting like this..
i also agree with hyde, as im not surprised the PDK transmission would be available on the 997.2 GT2RS.. that PDK transmission is slick!
So far, from what i heard amongst porschephiles, there is only one 997 GT2
around town. and its in black. owned by an older gentleman.
deathblossom// i used to. not anymore.

But this is soooooooooooo expensive!! Why?? Yes it's fast, but with that price buying something like that, I rather get a turbo or GT3 and call it a day. I rather get a Lambo!

Two reasons this car exists. Only no. 1 really, to be honest.
1. So the GT2RS is considered a "production car" for GT racing.
2. Alternative to male enhancement surgery.
You guys should be familiar with the script by now.

^ i'd say it'd be the DI 3.8 most likely..
997.2 turbo has switched over to DI...... so why not for the GT2RS..??
998 is over the horizon.. i bet this GT2RS is the swansong model.. (ie murci SV)

The GT cars are dumbed down race cars, not a souped up street car. GT cars are to Porsche, what M cars are to BMW.....some would say the GT3RS is the ultimate porsche....
