2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Coupe

Porsche factory driver Lars Kern drove the 911 GT2 RS around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in six minutes and 47.3 seconds. It was quicker than the Porsche 918 Spyder hypercar's 2015 Nürburgring lap record by nearly 10 seconds. Upon its introduction, it was 'the most powerful streel-legal 911 model of all time.'

Launched at the 2017 edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the 2018 911 GT2 RS represents the apex of the 991.2-generation. The finely tuned engine delivers seven hundred horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Zero to sixty mph is accomplished in 2.7 seconds, and a top track speed of 211 mph.

This particular Porsche 911 GT2 RS was ordered through Porsche Warrington (formerly home to Holbert Porsche and PMNA) and specified in non-metallic Black paint over a Black leather interior with Platinum Grey thread stitching. Additional factory options include the extended range fuel tank, heated seats, Chrono Package, LED Headlights in Black with PDLS, and instrument dials in White, and front axle lift. Instead of Alcantara, this Porsche was given optional leather trim. The $31,000 Weissach Package reduced the vehicle's weight by 40 pounds, with forged magnesium wheels (reducing unsprung weight by over 25 pounds) and numerous elements made of carbon fiber, including the roof, anti-roll bars, and end links on both axles.

This 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS with the Weissach Package was finished in October 2018 and delivered to Porsche Warrington with an MSRP of $341,330. It remains an unmodified, single-owner example with 1,333 miles on its odometer.
