Porsche 911 GT2 RS (991) (2018-19)

 





The GT2 RS is the most extreme version of the previous 991-gen Porsche 911 and one of the fastest, most extreme, most powerful, and best-performing Porsche 911 models to date. It was built from 2018 to 2019, leaning towards the end of the 991 generation's production run. Powering the most recent 911 GT2 RS is a rear-mounted twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six with 700 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. It propels from zero to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds and can reach a top speed of 211 mph. The GT2 RS is distinguished by an increased use of carbon fiber body panels and trim, along with more aggressive aerodynamic components over lesser 911 models. These aerodynamic additions are highlighted by large air vents on the front bumper and between the doors and rear fenders, a more pronounced rear diffuser and dual exhausts, and a massive rear wing. In addition, the GT2 RS' cabin is adorned in a combination of faux-suede and leather trim, and a central touchscreen display and center-lock wheels are standard like those of other Porsche 911 GT models. 

Pricing for the most recent Porsche 911 GT2 RS began at around $300,000 when new. Current values on the resale market for the 991-gen GT2 RS are certainly above that figure, while some examples are fetching more than $400,000. I spotted this particular GT2 RS right before attending my local college men's basketball team's game this past Saturday, and it was a specific example I don't recall seeing up close previously. I have seen other Porsche 911 GT2 RS examples in person, primarily at car shows and my local Porsche showroom, but rarely in a pure spotting scenario like this one here. Not only was I pleasantly shocked and impressed by randomly stumbling on this GT2 RS, but it has to be one of my best car spotting moments of the relatively new year so far, inspiring me to create a post dedicated to this vehicle. Overall, the 991-gen GT2 RS is one of the coolest and most amazing Porsche 911s ever made, and I am proud to have captured this incredible moment in what became one of my top car spots of 2025 so far.

Best of BMW CCA Cars & Coffee (January 2025)

 My first car meet of the calendar year is in the books, and although one vehicle from it was featured in the previous post, this compilation is dedicated to the best of the rest of the vehicles displayed at the latest BMW CCA Cars & Coffee. Heading into this past Saturday's show, I was anticipating a smaller turnout and crowd due to chilly and foggy weather conditions during this time of year. However, the turnout ended up being excellent and much larger than anticipated, with a variety of different cars appearing at this particular monthly meet. Besides the classic Ferrari 512 TR from the previous post, there were at least a few other cars from this past Saturday morning that I was more impressed with than others. Instead of creating specific and separate posts about these other vehicles, they will be showcased in this compilation as part of the top 20 vehicles listed and pictured in no particular order. Enjoy and stay tuned for more content from upcoming car shows and elsewhere heading your way soon.
