The Porsche 911 GT2 first blazed on the scene as a 911 variant in 1993. After 2000 it became the 911 GT2 RS and the hi-po car stunned from street to track. It became a record-breaking ride at events such as last year’s Road America when it set a new production car lap record, finishing the 4.048 mile, 14 turn, road course in 2 minutes 15.17 seconds.

As the fastest 911 approved for daily use, it packs a mighty wollop. Its 3.8-liter flat-six sends about 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. And it is every bit as amazing on the track. Holding the title as Porsche’s fastest production car, it is a powerful force to be reckoned with. And a joy to behold, especially hitting top speeds of 211 mph.
