The GT2 RS was the pinnacle of the previous 991-gen Porsche 911 and remains the fastest and most powerful Porsche 911 to date. It debuted towards the end of the 991-gen's production run in 2018 and features a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six with 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It launches from zero to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 211 mph. The GT2 RS contains a greater use of carbon fiber and vents than any other road-going Porsche 911 along with a massive rear wing. Like other Porsche 911 GT models, the GT2 RS features a combo of leather and faux-suede trim covering its interior along with center-lock wheels, a center touchscreen display, and an optional front-axle lift system to more easily clear speed bumps and steep driveways.
Production for the latest GT2 RS ended right as the Porsche 911 entered its current 992 generation. As for the next GT2 RS, rumors suggest that it is expected to be equipped with a hybrid powertrain that will produce more than 700 horsepower. In addition, the next GT2 RS is slated to debut for the 2026 model year. Showcased in this post are the two most recent examples I have seen up close of the 991 GT2 RS. The first example in black comes with the Weissach package, which adds a roll cage, racing harnesses, contrasting red faux-suede trim, more carbon fiber and titanium parts, and other weight-saving measures over the base GT2 RS. It is currently for sale at my local Audi/Porsche dealer priced at $382,000. The second example in blue was on display at the most recent Cars & Coffee meet near me about two weeks ago, and I have seen this particular example at some previous local Cars & Coffee meets as well. In all, the 991 GT2 RS is an insane and marvelous Porsche 911. It also stands out to me significantly more than most versions of the Porsche 911 since it is a top-of-the-line model and I see a lot less of them compared to the standard 911, 911 Turbo, and other 911 GT models.
