911 GT2 RS - A Tale of the Widow Maker!

Porsche‘s Most Powerful 911 ever!! The Legendary GT2 RS!

When a 911 Turbo S isn’t enough, this is what is born! RIP our the front drive shafts, add more power, aero and a crazy body and thus is born the ultimate #Porsche from Weissach!!

Today we explore the history of the GT2, starting from the “Turbo S Lightweight” of the 964 Generation! A proof in concept of the GT2. To the first, the 993 GT2 back in 1993, a motorsport special of which only 57 were built, required to be made for Porsche to compete in GT2 division.

Then the 996 GT2... the #WidowMaker!! And every version leading up to today’s 991.2 GT2 RS!

Unlike the GT3 and RS which have the natural 4.0 engine: this has the Turbo’s 3.8-litre engine, Revs to a lower 7,200rpm Bigger turbos give 118bhp the Turbo S, also a water-spray system to cool down temps in the frunk!

This generates 700 PS or 690BHP and 750nm
And a 0-60 of 2.7 seconds: insane figures! It allowed it a Nurburgring time of 6.47, at its inception being the fastest car in the world.

The car we are testing has the Weissach package, which reduces weight by 30 kg thanks to more use of carbon-fibre and titanium parts. The package also includes a gorgeous set of magnesium wheels!

My favourite bit: the exhaust! The damned exhaust valves, are at the END of the pipes. THE END OF THE PIPES!!!

So we will explore the full history, and then look at the Rivals both outside the brand and inside, as well as the next 992 GT2 RS.
