There is a rare breed of driver who can't quite stand anything that resembles a creature comfort. Even the thinnest carpet offends these serious folks. For those who would skip another meal in the name of another tenth off their best time, Porsche has released a meaner, leaner, even more exclusive version of their fastest RS. For better or worse, …

Well-Driven Lotus Struggles to Match GT2 RS Around Silverstone
It's quite easy to become desensitized nowadays as, for better or worse, driving a 700-horsepower car doesn't seem suicidal. Perhaps I'm just a little jaded, but cast your mind back fifteen years, when even 500 horsepower was something that seemed genuinely dangerous, almost a weapon. Well, perhaps it was then, and perhaps it is no longer. After …

There's something so satisfying about seeing the Nurburgring street-car crown returned to its rightful owner. In this constant headline-snagging battle between the major sports car marques, it's only fair that Porsche enjoys some more time at the top of the pile after dethroning the Lamborghini Aventador SV-R, courtesy of specialists Manthey …

Never short on enthusiasm, Doug DeMuro dives in headfirst with a list of salivating stats on Porsche's fastest force-fed track toy, as well as a bold byline: "This thing is faster and more powerful than the road version of a Le Mans race car from twenty years ago!" https://youtu.be/C3N61UZ6Z84 That divisive wing, the fender louvers, and even …

Back in the 1990s, Porsche's limited edition homologation special GT1 Strassenversion was the king of the hypercar heap. With a 536 horsepower turbocharged flat six, the GT1 was about as crazy as cars got twenty years ago. With a mid-engine layout and a curb weight of just 2535 pounds, it was an analog outlaw, almost impossible to drive quickly, …

Warning: Lots of inappropriate profanity in the footage above. For Lars Kern, the man who set the 991 GT2 RS' record lap at the Nurburgring, this might've seemed like a casual jaunt through the forest. Braking early, giving the slower cars a wide berth, and avoiding much curb hopping, he strings together a respectable lap that wouldn't come …

If you're a wealthy track day fiend, and you love Porsche, today has been an extremely good day for you.

Amid the rolling Dutch dunes, the circuit of Zandvoort provides plenty of high-speed corners to test the hot-blooded sports cars of the 911 range. With technical sections, lots of camber, and heavy braking zones, it's a varied and challenging course that once hosted Formula 1 in the seventies and eighties. Fortunately, we're able to see how the …

It seems like just yesterday we were hearing about Porsche's wild 918 Spyder taking the new VIR production track record during C/D's Lightning Lap in 2014. That record was taken down just last year when they ran a Ford GT just one tenth of a second faster than the 918. One tenth of a second seemed right at the time, and a massive step forward for …

Turbocharged Porsches eschew ultimate sound for an incredible increase in performance, as is the case with the new power-leading 911, the GT2 RS. In comparison to its GT3 RS sibling, the GT2 RS is downright quiet and reserved.
