The 991-generation GT2 RS fused turbocharged force with a near-motorsport approach to weight, chassis and aerodynamics.

THE MOST EXTREME ROAD-GOING 911 OF ITS ERA.

At launch, Porsche described the GT2 RS as its most powerful road-approved 911. The company paired a 515-kW twin-turbo flat-six with rear-wheel drive, PDK and a weight-focused two-seat configuration.

“The right details turn information into a story worth remembering.”

WHY IT BECAME A REFERENCE POINT.

Power alone does not create a benchmark. The GT2 RS combined cooling, aero, lightweight materials, rear-axle steering and track-focused chassis work into one coherent brief.
