THE 911 'TYPE 991' GT2 RS
"Exactly how quick are we talking? 2. 8 seconds to 62mph. 211mph top speed. And with a lap time of 6min 47sec it's quicker round the Nürburgring Nordschleife than any other production car, including the Lamborghini Huracan Performante and Porsche's own 918 Spyder hypercar." CAR magazine on the Porsche 911 Type 991 GT2 RS in November 2017.
Like its legendary Carrera RS forebearer of 1973, the Porsche 911 GT2 was bred directly from motorsport. The car takes its name from the FIA's now-defunct GT2 category of production sports car racing, for which the model was originally homologated, and has been produced in a variety of versions since its introduction in 1993 on the Type 993 platform. Even with the GT2 racing category long gone, the Porsche 911 GT2 lives on as the bad boy of the 911 range.
With 993, 996, and 997 versions of the GT2 (with the even sharper RS version coming in 2010) each one-upping the last in terms of performance, Porsche had their work cut out to turn the new 991 into a worthy successor. In June 2017 the latest iteration of the GT2 RS arrived on the Type 991 platform, officially launched at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The 991 GT2 RS is based on the 911 Turbo, and powered by a heavily reworked version of the Turbo S's 3. 8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine. Rated at a stonking 691bhp, it is the most powerful production 911 ever built. The engine was paired with a seven-speed PDK transmission, and the Turbo's AWD system was ditched for rear-drive only, further reducing weight. Unusually, the Type 991 version has a roof made of magnesium, while the front bonnet, front/ rear wings, and boot lid are carbon-fiber. Lightweight polyurethane is used for the front and rear aprons, the exhaust system is titanium, and the GT2 RS has a claimed wet weight of just 1, 470kg (3, 241lb). Porsche claims that the GT2 RS will accelerate from 0-97km/ h (0-60mph) in 2. 7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 340km/ h (211mph).
THE CAR OFFERED
This 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a highly optioned, barely driven example of the ultimate version of the Type 991. Originally delivered on August 30th, 2018, it is finished in Paint-to-Sample Maritim Blau (Maritime Blue) over a Black leather and Alcantara interior, highlighted with vibrant yellow stitching and matching yellow seat belts.
The GT2 RS upholds Porsche's legacy of performance, with its provenance further validated by featuring the exclusive Weissach Package. This package not only certifies it among a select few models, but also ensures an extended performance capability compared to standard GT2 RS. As proof of this elite status.
Having covered a mere 213 miles since its delivery, this GT2 RS presents in elegantly preserved, near untouched condition, comparable to a factory-fresh model. A remarkable reminder of its origins, a complete set of books accompanies the car, encapsulating its rich heritage.
With its striking PTS color combination, subtle interior accents, and the Weissach Package, this 911 GT2 RS is a beguiling example of Porsche's blend of performance-packed engineering and stylish aesthetics, making it a must-have addition for any discerning collector.
