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 …

In Case Your New GT2 RS Isn’t Loud Enough, GMG Has An Exhaust For You
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. That factory exhaust note has more in common with your average performance luxury sedan than it does Porsche's rip-roaring …

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 …

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 …

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 …
Continue to the full articleIs Porsche Testing a GT2-Based Racing Car?
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 …
