Though the potential of the latest force-fed RS has never been in question, its newest record only solidifies its reputation as the ultimate track weapon. Perhaps more so than any of its contemporaries, the robust GT2 RS is one of the few cars which actually deserves the overused and often misappropriated accolade: "racing car for the …

How A GT2 RS Makes The Goodwood Hillclimb Look Easy
Though running the 1.16-mile Goodwood hill might look simple from the sidelines, it's a complex course full of nuances. Cambers, pockmarks, crowns, and debris make the task all the more challenging—especially when trying to deploy some 700 horsepower. However, there are few drivers better suited to managing these real-world conditions in …

Few racing outfits find the newest GT2 RS in need of modification, but Manthey found a few areas which could be improved. With tweaks to the suspension and the aerodynamics, their GT2 RS MR logged a lap of 2:31.00 around Spa-Francorchamps, where the Koenigsegg One:1 took 2:32.1 seconds to log its best. The Swedish hypercar's attempt might've …

We don't normally report on political topics. FLATSIXES exists solely to bring you the best coverage of Porsche cars and the community that surrounds them. Especially in today's highly polarized political climate, it wouldn't normally be in our wheelhouse to touch on international trade conflicts. However, when the topic being discussed is a flat …

The above image is a Corvette Forum rendering of the mid-engine 8th generation Corvette alleged to be launching at the 2019 Detroit show in January. The front-engine Corvette has been a mainstay of the American performance market since the 1950s, and some models have been compared favorably to contemporary 911s throughout the years. Built in …

The straightline speed is on a completely different level with this GT2-based racer. Armed with slick tires, an offensively large rear wing, the rear window inserts (read: air jack-equipped) from a Cup Car, and a bodykit with even more cutouts and canards, it's safe to assume this Porsche is some test mule for what could be an upcoming racing …

Though footage of the latest GT2 RS driven hard is still quite scarce, there is one fortunate soul who's been kind enough to soothe our frustrations and show us what the meanest production Porsche ever is capable of. The owner, a man who goes by Powerslidelover, is a rare breed of auto junkie. Not only does he own a stable of hypercars including …

Though some eyes might be on Mark Webber and his tidy lines through Albert Park in the GT2 RS, those who like to spec cars for fun might be wondering what his Porsche's Weissach Package offers. As first offered in the 918, the Weissach Package (and now available on the GT3 RS, too) is for those who want every performance-related box ticked; those …

The new rear-wheel-drive, turbocharged, Nürburgring-owning ÜberPorsche, the GT2 RS, is an intensely interesting beast. As cars are currently being delivered to customers, very few video reviews have as yet been released, and none of them have featured any on-track driving. This new video from Drive.com.au changes that. For the first time it give us …
Continue to the full articleAn Exercise In Traction: The Top 5 Fastest Accelerating Porsches
The current iteration of the horsepower wars is frankly a bit absurd. Today's fastest street cars would be required to have full roll cages and chassis certification under NHRA rules. Even the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is fast enough to require a 6-point cage to make passes at your local drag strip. For the last several decades mind-bending …
