The Ber-ber-Porsche 911 GT2 RS
Want to have bragging rights to the highest motorized street legal Porsche in Porsche’s recorded history? Don’t want to have a tuned one (Uwe Gemballa is still missing, Auto Bild has already written him off.) No problem! If you have the cash, Porsche will set you up with a 620 hp 911. But no dawdling around: If you want to be one of the 500 people who can drive to work in that brute, you better get in line right now.
In September, Porsche will offer a limited edition 911 GT2 RS. In the rear will be a 456 kW/620 hp 3.6 liter blown engine. Porsche says it will power the most powerful street legal car in Porsche’s history. And it will be a steal at an MSRP of only €237.578 for the base model.
It’s even greener than the GT2: mileage improved a whopping 5 percent. With a CO2 production of 284 g/km, it should be driven only by people who think climate change is bunk. Interested? Then act now. Porsche will make only 500. Operators are standing by to take your order. And drive carefully.

Now there are only 499 available. Sorry, couldn't help myself ;-)
Porsches may have their dynamic shortcomings, but traction was never one of them. The rear weight bias keeps the drive wheels planted quite nicely, which is what makes 911s such swell racing cars. Who wants to bet they're all sold out before they hit the dealerships?
F'n hilarious. Give me your 928 and 25K - 150+ more than that at the wheels. No matter who's dyno you reference. 911s are a (bad) joke. At the end of it all, there is no replacement for displacement. Hell, even Lindsey can get that out of a 951.
This one is awesome!
