Awe. The new 911 GT2 RS.

Concept
The engineers knew exactly what their objective was: to make the new 911 GT2 RS the most powerful Porsche for the road.

Drive
Objective achieved. The watercooled six cylinder bi-turbo Boxer engine with four valve technology, variable turbine geometry (VTG) and VarioCam Plus delivers its power through the rear axle. From a displacement of 3,600 cm³, it generates an enormous 456 kW (620 hp) at an engine speed of 6,500 rpm. The maximum torque of 700 Nm is available from 2,250 rpm. From 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes just 3.5 seconds. To 200 km/h (124 mph) only 9.8 seconds, and to 300 km/h (186 mph) just 28,9 seconds. Maximum boost pressure is not reached until a speed of 330km/h (205 mph). The weight to power ratio that is essential for this kind of performance is just 2.21 kg/hp.

Chassis
Closer to the ground yes. On its knees no. The requirments for the new 911 GT2 RS chassis were high: driving characteristics that are typical of a race car, on both the road and the racetrack.

This car is around 25mm lower than the 911 Carrera and its systematic lightweight construction keeps the total weight and the weight of unsprung masses low. For extraordinary agility, excellent driving safety and stability, especially when cornering.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)
The electronic adjustment of the shock absorber systems actively and continuously controls the damping force depending on the driving style and situation for each individual wheel.

By pressing a button, the driver can choose between two setup modes, "Normal" and "Sport". Normal mode is designed for general road driving and on the ractrack in the wet. Sport mode is specially designed for maximum lateral acceleration and the best possible traction on the racetrack.

Safety
Being in awe also means knowing when to brake when necessary.

The new 911 GT2 RS is equipped as standard with the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB). This braking technology has already demonstrated its performance credentials on the racetrack, for example in the vehicles of the Porsche Mobile 1 Supercup. Its ceramic brake discs hav a diameter of 380 mm at the front and and 350 mm at the back for excellent braking power.

The reinforced bodyshell of the new 911 GT2 RS contains a highly resilient passenger cell which offers exceptional crash protection, whilst still ensuring the vehicle remains lightweight. A system of longitudinal and transverse member, patented by Porsche, is used at the front. In the event of a collision, this distributes the forces and minimises deformation of the passenger cell. An extremely rigid bulkhead cross-member made from super high strength steel absorbs impact forces from the fron longitudinal members to protect both front footweels. Reinforced doors contribute to the overall rigidity of the car.

Interior
The instruments in the new 911 GT2 RS are designed for pure sports performance. The provide quickly accessible information and are ergonomic and clearly visible - just like the rev counter with a titanium blue dial located in the centre of the five round intruments. The instrument needles and dial markings are coloured yellow. For optimum acceleration, the gearshift indicator is located in the rev counter.

Colours
The 911GT2 RS comes in Carrara White and GT Silver metalic, . These colours can be combined with the contrasting colours Guards Red or Black. The standard interior of the new 911 GT2 RS is in black and red.
