At the heart of this high-performance sports car is a 700-horsepower twin-turbo flat-six engine. Weighing in at 3,241 pounds with a full tank of fuel, the lightweight two-seater accelerates from zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds. The new 911 GT2 RS can reach a top track speed of 211 miles per hour, and it surpasses the 2011 911 GT2 RS by 80 horsepower. The 2018 911 GT2 RS delivers 553 lb.-ft. of torque, an increase of 37 lb.-ft. compared to the previous 911 GT2 RS.<\/p>\n<p>The 3.8-liter engine in the GT2 RS is based on the power plant found in the current 911 Turbo S model. In order to increase performance further, larger turbochargers push an increased volume of air into the combustion chambers. A new additional cooling system delivers optimum cooling at peak loads by spraying water on the intercoolers when the intake air temperature reaches a determined threshold. This reduces the inlet temperature under boost and allows for optimum power output, even under extreme conditions. The customized GT seven-speed double-clutch Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission in the new GT2 RS enables maximum efficiency with uninterrupted torque transfer. The specially developed lightweight titanium exhaust system weighs around 15 pounds less than the system used in the 911 Turbo and delivers a particularly emotional sound.<\/p>\n<p>Porsche Design is celebrating the debut of this very special high-performance sports car by releasing a special-issue watch. Offering a nod to the world of motorsport, the Porsche Design 911 GT2 RS watch is exclusively available to owners of the new vehicle and can only be ordered in conjunction with the new GT model.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-329248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-1.jpg\" alt=\"2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS 1\" width=\"1140\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-1-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-1-1024x427.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-1-100x42.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-1-770x321.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-1-293x122.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Race-bred chassis for exceptional cornering<\/strong><br \/>\nThe 2018 911 GT2 RS has exceptional dry grip thanks to its race-bred chassis with rear axle steering and Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires. The stability management system is tuned for spirited driving in the new 911 GT2 RS. The PSM can be deactivated in two stages using the ESC OFF and ESC+TC OFF functions. Large air intakes and outlets and the striking rear wing underscore the emphasis on aerodynamics and down-force. The large, wide wheels with 265\/35 ZR 20 tires at the front and 325\/30 ZR 21 tires at the rear help ensure outstanding braking and cornering potential. The 911 GT2 RS features Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) as standard. The front fenders, wheel housing vents, outer shells on the Sport Design exterior mirrors, air intakes on the rear quarter panels, and parts of the rear are made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), as are many of the interior components. The front luggage compartment lid is also made from carbon fiber to make the vehicle as light as possible, while the standard roof panel is made from magnesium. Both of these body panels feature a visible recess in the center, a design element previously used on the 2016 911 GT3 RS.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-329249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-2.jpg\" alt=\"2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS 2\" width=\"1140\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-2.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-2-300x126.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-2-1024x429.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-2-100x42.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-2-770x323.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-2-293x123.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Optional Weissach package saves 40 pounds of weight<\/strong><br \/>\nThe optional Weissach package reduces weight by nearly 40 pounds, further enhancing the vehicle dynamics of the 911 GT2 RS. The package includes magnesium wheels and numerous elements made of carbon fiber. For instance, with this optional package, the roof and anti-roll bars are made of carbon fiber, as are the end links on both axles. The 911 GT2 RS forged magnesium wheels reduce both overall and unsprung weight by over 25 pounds, complementing the vehicle&#8217;s handling characteristics. When equipped with the Weissach Package, the carbon fiber weave of the luggage compartment lid and the roof are left largely exposed, and are painted with a centrally placed decorative strip in the vehicle color for a distinctive look. The Weissach package is optionally available with an MSRP of $31,000.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-329250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-3.jpg\" alt=\"2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS 3\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-3.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-3-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-3-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-3-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-3-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/2018-Porsche-911-GT2-RS-3-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A truly sporty interior<\/strong><br \/>\nThe interior of the 911 GT2 RS is dominated by red Alcantara\u00ae, black leather, and carbon fiber trim pieces as standard.

On a traditional chronograph, the buttons must be pressed three times in order to measure consecutive time intervals: The first press stops the chronograph, the second resets it, and the third restarts the measuring process. On chronographs with a flyback function, these processes happen automatically and in rapid succession. The stop function and the ongoing time display are clearly separated using yellow markings. Many of the details on the timepiece are based on the design details of the GT2 RS. The tungsten winding rotor is modeled after the rims of the 911 GT2 RS. The clock face is made of carbon fiber, while the design of the time display matches the instrument cluster and the tachometer. The 911 GT2 RS and its watch counterpart are exclusively available at authorized Porsche dealers worldwide. The vehicle and watch are produced and customized in line with each customer&#8217;s wishes and are delivered together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pricing and availability<\/strong><br \/>\nThe 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS model is available to order with a base MSRP of $293,200, excluding the $1,050 delivery, processing and handling fee.
