News doesn’t necessarily have to be new. Sure, that goes against the age old rules of journalism… but it’s true. Case in point: the Porsche GT2 RS.
Unveiled at the Moscow Auto Show, it’s still worth covering here at the Paris Motor Show – although part of the reason is that we never covered the Moscow show because like almost every other automotive publication we value our lives. It’s also really far away.
With a total of 620-hp from its twin-turbo straight-six engine, the GT2 RS is the most powerful street legal Porsche ever. It’s also incredibly light thanks to a reduction in weight of 154 lbs. Looking at the car it’s easy to see where the weight went, with carbon fiber body panels and exterior trim items, carbon fiber seats, carbon ceramic brakes and light-weight forged RS Spyder wheels with center locks.
In fact, Porsche went to such extremes to save weight that the hood logo is actually just a sticker.
Along with a host of other upgrades, the proof comes with a Nürburgring lap time that’s well beyond any of the competition, besting the Viper ACR’s best time by 4 seconds with a 7:18.
