We don’t have much in the way of details, but a singular shot snapped at a dealer event yesterday shows that the baddest Porsche 911 ever to grace the tarmac is coming this September.
According to a tipster, the GT2 RS will carry a price tag of 240,000 euro when it arrives later this year and will supposedly pack enough power to topple the Carrera GT. Earlier reports indicate that the revised GT2, recently caught testing at the Nürburgring, will put out over 560 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque. However, it’s safe to assume those figures will be increased In RS trim and we can expect a fully-adjustable suspension, roll cage and possibly some active aerodynamics. The press introduction is apparently scheduled for May 14th, so official details on Porsche’s newest rear-wheel drive road warrior should be forthcoming.
UPDATE: A forum member at TeamSpeed has some preliminary stats from the launch in Leipzig. The new GT2 RS is reportedly packing 620 hp and will come in nearly 200 pounds lighter than the current GT2. The 0-62 mph time is pegged at 3.2 seconds with a rumored 'Ring time of… wait for it… 7:22 – the same as the Dodge Viper ACR.
there’s a new viper that I always walk past in my parking lot at work. I always think “damn that does look great” until I get close enough to see the interior, then I’m like WTF is this shit!
I like i drive… but im in the 1% who actually gets how to navigate it because i grew up with this kind of BS… my dad however couldnt do shit with it… and he is the target for most of bmw sales, so i get it…
But cmon, you have to admit that the center counsole area (radio/surround) on the 996 cars is pretty outdated… especially the radios
a base plether early model 996 is never going to look that great… but there are some nice 996 interiors out there too, they’re just quirky and different.
yeah well no shit they are out-dated. they havent been produced since 2005!
this thread is about the 997 but you came in saying that 911 interiors arent great but i really like my interior minus the lame “supple” leather option that the original owner went with.
