Porsche 911 GT2 RS Unveiled

Porsche has unwrapped its latest missile, the 2011 911 GT2 RS, which the company describes as the "fastest and most powerful road-going sports car ever built in the history of Porsche."


Output on the car's twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-6 engine has jumped to 620 horsepower, with power delivered to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. The GT2 RS rockets from rest to 60 in a mere 3.4 seconds and laps the Nürburgring's Nordschleife in 7:18. Velocity maxes out at 205 mph.

The GT2 RS arrives in the U.S. in October, priced at $245,000, after its world debut in late August at the Moscow auto show. Production will be limited to 500 units.
