The Clubsport is a Porsche 911 GT2 RS modified specifically for racing and track use. As you may have figured out by now, the GT2 RS Clubsport isn't street legal. It is also very similar to the reborn 935 that I featured on here not that long ago, except the GT2 RS Clubsport has a more toned-down design and is less exclusive. Like the 911 GT2 RS road car, the track-only Clubsport is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six producing 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque paired to a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch. It launches from zero to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. Distinguishing the Clubsport from the GT2 RS road car are a larger rear wing, a vented front hood, additional aerodynamic parts, a racing steering wheel, and a completely stripped-down interior that seats only the driver. The Clubsport's center console contains necessary controls for racing such as traction and stability control. In addition, the GT2 RS Clubsport still has air conditioning unlike some track-focused Porsche vehicles.
Only 200 911 GT2 RS Clubsport examples were built, each starting at $478,000, which is a bargain compared to the more insane and more exclusive 935. Another version of the GT2 RS Clubsport was recently unveiled; known as the GT2 RS Clubsport 25, it commemorates 25 years of Porsche's partnership with Manthey-Racing. Although it doesn't stand out as much as the similar 935, the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport is an absolutely bonkers race car.
Included below is a Porsche 911 GT2 RS road car that I saw at the same car show that had the GT2 RS Clubsport on display.
