The 911 GT2 RS is simply the most powerful 911 ever built by Porsche.Mark Webber and racing legend Walter Röhrl put the pedal to the metal! They chose the 911 GT2 RS for an outing on the track. With the performance level of a super sports car, this rear-wheel drive is more than impressive. Four numbers show this 911's capabilities: 700 PS, 750 Nm torque, acceleration 0 - 100 km/h, Vmax: 340 km/h. Period.
In April 2018 a brand new motor racing circuit was opened in the small town of Tailem Bend in South Australia. At 7.7-kilometres, The Bend Motorsport Park is the second-longest permanent racing circuit in the world – behind only the Nürburgring Nordschleife. As the Porsche 911 GT2 RS holds the production car lap record for the Nordschleife, it was fitting that the same car be the first to set a benchmark for The Bend. Experienced Australian racing driver and performance car test driver Warren Luff drove the 911 GT2 RS to a best time of 3:24.079 around the 35 corner layout. Luff, a former runner-up in the Porsche Wilson Security Carrera Cup Australia championship, saw the privilege of driving the GT2 RS around the state-of-the-art facility as a career highlight.

The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS is synonymous with precision at the very highest level. This high-performance 911 weighs just 1,430 kilograms and its six-cylinder engine now delivers an output of 383 kW (520 hp). Developed by the Porsche motorsport department based on the 911 GT3 and its racing colleague the GT3 Cup, the RS has a clear focus on delivering optimum race track dynamics. Among the features that help deliver this emphasis are the enhanced four-litre flat engine and the new running-gear setup. The rear-axle steering has been adapted to suit the new tuning and also supports the agile design of the vehicle, while simultaneously enhancing stability. The appearance of the wide, weight-optimised body is dominated by an aerodynamic design with an emphasis on downforce. And despite the strong downforce, the GT3 RS can achieve a top speed of 312 km/h. The large rear wing, like the widened front wings with high-mounted ventilation slits, is made from ultra-lightweight carbon. The interior is also dominated by a racing feel, and the full bucket seats made from carbon provide secure lateral support even when strong lateral forces are present. Lightweight door panels and reduced sound absorption are further illustrations of the consistent lightweight construction.
