The car was launched in the
presence of Pavan Shetty, Director of Porsche India. At the heart of Porsche’s
fastest 911 of all time is a 3.8 litre, 700 hp biturbo flat engine, which
delivers a power increase of 80 hp over its 3.6-litre predecessor. Weighing in
at 1,470 kg with a full fuel tank, the lightweight two-seater accelerates from
zero to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. The rear-wheel drive Coupé has a top speed of
340 km/h, and with its near-motorsport drive technology, achieves a torque
output of 750 Nm (an increase of 50 Nm).
The new model is the first 911
GT2 RS to be equipped with a double-clutch transmission. The Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) has been customised for the GT2 RS and offers special
features designed specifically for the track. The Intelligent Shift Program
enhances gear shifting, whilst the “Paddle Neutral” function gives greater
driver control and is reserved solely for Porsche GT sports cars.
A motorsport chassis with
active performance systems is central to the outstanding driving performance of
the 911 GT2 RS. Ultra High Performance mixed tyres, the Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) system as standard, rear-axle steering and active
driving systems including the PSM Sport function for faster lap times, combine
for optimal driving dynamics.
Visually, the design of the
911 GT2 RS is centred around the vehicle's racing properties from every angle.
A wide, low front spoiler lip, striking air intakes on the aerodynamic front
end and behind the doors, and the air vent in front of the front lid, typical
for 911s in the GT class, reflect the vehicle’s powerful performance
credentials. The interior is dominated by red Alcantara, black leather and a
carbon-weave finish as standard. A sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles,
full bucket seats, and the Clubsport package which includes roll cage and
six-point driver seat belt as standard, enhance the ride experience for drivers
and passengers further.
Already featuring a
lightweight, aluminium-steel composite construction, the Weissach package is
available as an option, offering up to 30 kg weight saving for an even greater
performance.
