The 2018 911 GT2 RS Has Been Spied Testing At The Nürburgring And It Sounds Savage
With the 997 GT2 RS now being a fully-fledged performance car legend, it seems Porsche is finally bringing the GT2 model back using the 991 chassis. Due to be twin-turbocharged and spitting out in the region of 650-700bhp, the flat-six GT2 RS should become the pinnacle of the Porsche range, save the 918 hypercar.
Add in a huge rear wing and a rear-wheel drive setup and the GT2 could be quite a handful in comparison to the four-wheel drive Turbo S that has a frankly tiny 572bhp. With speculations still swirling whether Weissach will bother with a manual shift in the new GT2 RS, it is fairly obvious from the footage that this test car has Porsche’s double-clutch PDK system.
Is a clutch and a gearstick really the right call when a car has around 700bhp? Comment below with your thoughts.

Porsche GT future model lineage confirmed
what’s wrong with the wing people? it’s just around the size of a 911 race car
I don’t know much about the last gen gt2 but wasn’t it awd? It only seems fitting that the gt3 and gt4 are the rwd range for Porsche and the gt2 is a more hardcore turbo s
TRIGGERED
2018?! Still haven’t finished bloody 2016 yet. Don’t get ahead of yourselves
GET READY FOR THE TWIN TURBO MADNESS panics
What about the normal GT2?
McLaren P1 be like: Pffff…Nah nah nah. I’m da real widow maker
It sounds good, don’t get me wrong, but “savage”? Settle down. There’s nothing “savage” sounding about that exhaust note. It’s a muted turbo six, not an N/A V8.
That’s “savage” to you? Buckle up and then search for Carrera GT.
