2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Coupe

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS, a twin turbocharged sledgehammer, was aimed at reclaiming the lap record at the Nürburgring. It had 620 horsepower and weighed just 3,020 pounds, meaning it was 90 horsepower stronger and 154-pounds lighter than before, giving it the best horsepower-to-weight ratio in its class. Because of the 3.6L twin turbo flat-6's overwhelming power, the GT2 RS was available only with a single-plate clutch and a track-oriented, close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox with Porsche's signature short-throw shifter. The GT2 RS features a fully adjustable all-independent strut suspension that is supplemented with Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management (PASM), unique anti-roll bars, specific engine mounts, recalibrated Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and specially developed Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires on pin-drive wheels for incredible handling, and Porsche Composite Ceramic Brakes (PCCB) provide impressive stopping power. Every effort was made to reduce the vehicles overall weight, including removing 9 pounds from the interior carpeting. The result of all this effort was a car that will accelerate alongside the fabled Carrera GT, with unrelenting acceleration generating a full g almost all the way to its 205 MPH terminal speed.

This particular example has just 7,500 original miles. It is finished in black with black and red interior and rides on the specially developed Michelin Pilot Cup tires.
