Though we all acknowledge the advantage four-wheel drive offers off the line, how valuable is it when compared to a rear-wheel drive machine renowned for its traction? Both the 911 Turbo and the GT2 RS have the weight in the right place for launching—which, by the way, both do without the possibility of driver error. However, a combination of …

Turbo Vs. Naturally Aspirated: GT2 RS Clubsport Takes On GT3 Cup
Separated by 400 pounds and 235 horsepower, the comparison of these two is quite intriguing. When the chassis are fundamentally so similar, how does a little extra girth and a different power delivery alter the performances of two racing 911s? The environment plays a major role here. For one, the long straights of Road America obviously favor …

Watching the footage of the Manthey GT2 RS MR through the Hockenheim GP track makes you realize just how far cars have come in the last twenty years. Whereas its forebear, the 996 GT2, was a snappy car which didn't suffer the sort of abuse some throw at their cars gently, this latest offering is much more a pussycat. A really fast one.

Whether it be fear or ecstasy, the GT2 RS MR is a special implement which can bring out that intense emotion better than perhaps any other road car.

Porsche's current king of the hill, the track-only GT2 RS-based 935, is the kind of thing that dreams are made of. With just 77 units built for worldwide consumption, not many of us will get the opportunity to wring this car's neck. Especially when you consider the massive price tag that it comes equipped with. The big wing and slicks machine is …

Even thirty two years on the little details of the 959 can make other 911-based cars seem pedestrian. Where the GT2 RS is a wild machine covered in scoops, wings, and hyperbole, its floor is mere metal. The 959 separates its occupants from the pavement with nomex. Point, 80s dream machine. It seems that every other trait about the car is similarly …

As Porsche's first track-only 911 with turbos since the 993 GT2, the 991 GT2 RS Clubsport has a lot to prove.

Clarksonian excess is positively joyous on paper, and the items that grab review headlines trend towards both the extreme and the concrete.

What works in a headline to bring …
