Istorie
The new 911 GT2 RS is simply the most powerful 911 ever build by Porsche, with the performance level of a super sports car. Its design combines the aerodynamic
requirements of optimum downforce and maximum air supply. Its consistent lightweight construction makes it a pure athlete. Its racing chassis with excellent cornering stability gives the new 911 GT2 RS those crucial additional seconds.
Full description
The new 911 GT2 RS is based on the extra wide body of the 911 Turbo. Its full contours are instantly noticeable at the rear, where the low-profile, tinted LED rear lights underline its appeal. The fixed rear wing in carbon-weave finish makes its own contribution to the overall impression of sporty performance. The two ram-air scoops on the engine lid – the ram-air collectors – are also made of carbon and supply the engine with combustion air. The rear panels with large exhaust apertures are specific to the 911 GT2 RS. At the rear of the underbody, four fins increase the aerodynamic effect of the diffuser. Perhaps the most striking detail of the new rear panels are the tailpipe trims of the free-flow exhaust system, which produces the characteristically throaty sound of the 911 GT2 RS. Technically functional and visually impressive: the catalytic converters, which light up red at high engine speeds and loads, and are visible through the open flaps – to anyone who manages to keep up with them at least. In summary: ideal aerodynamics for the racetrack and a good drag coefficient for long straights.
For the performance of a highly powerful sports car such as the 911 GT2 RS, weight is just as essential as the drivetrain. Porsche has therefore weighed every component and permanently sought the lightest functional materials. Also, Porsche used lightweight glass for the first time – for the rear and rear side windows. This material is just as light as polycarbonate and extremely scratch and fracture resistant. Inside, the new 911 GT2 RS also features lightweight door trims and door pulls.
The 911 GT2 RS is powered the six cylinder twin-turbo boxer engine at the rear, four-valve technology, variable turbine geometry (VTG) with large turbochargers, direct fuel injection (DFI) and Vario Cam Plus. With a displacement of 3,800 cm3, the engine produces an impressive 515 kW (700 hp) at an rpm of 7,000. Maximum rpm is 7,200, and the maximum torque of 750 Nm is available from just 2,500 rpm. A quick look at the speedometer. It goes up to 400 km/h (248 mph) and also sets the tone for the maximum speed: 340 km/h (211 mph). It ticks the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) box after just 2.8 seconds. It reaches the 200-km/h (0-124 mph) mark after only 8.3 seconds. And after 22.1 seconds, the 300-km/h (186 mph) mark is water under the bridge.
This unit has covered 33 km.
