2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Coupe

The Porsche 991 GT2 RS made its debut virtually at the Microsoft Xbox E3 briefing in 2017 before showing up at the Goodwood Festival of Speed that summer. This was the first time the GT2 RS did not have a manual transmission. Instead it had a fast shifting Porsche Doppelkupplung seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Combined with the powerful engine, the GT2 RS was able to race from zero-to-sixty mph in just 2.7 seconds. Top speed was achieved at 210 mph.

For buyers seeking even more, Porsche recommended the optional $31,000 Weissach Package. In this guise, more than 65 lbs was shed and came with the first carbon fiber stabilizer bars ever fitted to a production automobile. Carbon weave was used for its front hood and for its roof, too. Magnesium wheels shed around 6 lbs. per corner. Titanium was used for the integrated roll cage on European models, which weighs about 25 lbs. less than the steel unit fitted to models with the Club Sport Package.

This particular 911 GT2 RS has been driven less than 200 miles and was optioned with the Weissach Package. Work was completed on March 7th of 2018 and finished in the race-inspired GT Silver Metallic over a Black/Red leather and Alcantara interior. Other options include the front axle lift system, light design package, Bose surround sound system, chrono package with lap trigger, and a 23.8-gallon extended range fuel tank.
