Country:  | | | Leaked! Porsche 911 GT2 RS coming this September
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Porsche 
We don't have much in the way of details, but a singular shot snapped at a dealer event yesterday shows that the baddest Porsche 911 ever to grace the tarmac is coming this September.
According to a tipster, the GT2 RS will carry a price tag of 240,000 euro when it arrives later this year and will supposedly pack enough power to topple the Carrera GT. Earlier reports indicate that the revised GT2, recently caught testing at the Nürburgring, will put out over 560 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque. However, it's safe to assume those figures will be increased In RS trim and we can expect a fully-adjustable suspension, roll cage and possibly some active aerodynamics. The press introduction is apparently scheduled for May 14th, so official details on Porsche's newest rear-wheel drive road warrior should be forthcoming. UPDATE: A forum member at TeamSpeed has some preliminary stats from the launch in Leipzig. The new GT2 RS is reportedly packing 620 hp and will come in nearly 200 pounds lighter than the current GT2. The 0-62 mph time is pegged at 3.2 seconds with a rumored 'Ring time of... wait for it... 7:22 - the same as the Dodge Viper ACR.

Yesterday I was thinking about this GT2 RS and I'm truly curious, how on earth can you put 620hp on two wheels and achieve 3.2 seconds from 0-100km/hr ?!!

But with all respect it still doesn't make sense to me... too much power for two wheel's grip IMHO.

I'd prefer AWD for that kind of power, but considering the ZR1 has about the same power. On a front engine. I'd say the GT2 has the advantage!
