Description

When Porsche first brought out the 930 Turbo in 1975, it became known as the “widowmaker” for its spiky handling once the turbo spooled up. With so much of the car's weight hanging over the rear axle, everything happened fast once the car let go, and before you knew it, you and your 911 ended up in a ditch. As the 911 Turbo progressed, Porsche refined it and engineered most of the treacherous handling out of the vehicle through more progressive turbos, improved suspension design, and, starting with the 993, all-wheel-drive. But for the driver still searching for a 911 to scare them, there is no better car than the 991 GT2 RS. This twin-turbocharged rear-wheel drive 991 remains the most powerful roadgoing 911 to ever come out of Stuttgart and is also one of the rarest, with just 1,000 produced for the world.

This 2018 GT2 RS takes this already rare 911 to the next level thanks to what is believed to be a 1 of 1 specification. The exterior is painted in stunning British Racing Green - a Paint to Sample option- and is complimented with gloss carbon fiber around the vehicle. The Weissach package was optioned on this car, which reduces weight by 66 lbs and fits the exterior with additional carbon fiber aero pieces and a beautiful set of gold finish magnesium BBS wheels. Thanks to this carbon fiber, the GT2 RS weighs nearly 300 lbs less than a contemporary Turbo S, which, when combined with a bump of 120 horsepower, makes for a truly lively driving experience.

What truly separates this GT2 RS from every other example is the interior. From Porsche, when ordering a new GT2 RS, you were given the option of selecting a black or black and red leather and Alcantara interior. This particular GT2 RS is different- ordered new by an executive at Porsche North America, he was able to put in a special request to make his GT2 truly stand out. Cognac leather covers the hardback bucket seats, lower dashboard, and door trim and is reported to be the only GT2 RS in the world with this interior color. The contrast between the deep British Racing Green on the exterior and the Cognac leather inside makes this one of the best specs imaginable on a GT2 RS and exceptionally sought after, given its 1 of 1 status.

The GT2 RS is propelled by a potent 3.8-liter flat-6 engine equipped with a pair of turbochargers, delivering an astounding 691 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. This makes the GT2RS the most powerful roadgoing 911 to leave the Porsche factory, and is paired with a 7-speed PDK gearbox. This enables the car to achieve an almost unbelievable lap time of 6:47.3 around the Nürburgring Nordschleife, translating to an average 184 km/h speed. For those seeking even more performance, the optional Weissach package enhances the GT2 RS's capabilities by including carbon fiber anti-roll bars and coupling rods on both axles. Furthermore, the exhaust system is meticulously crafted from titanium, reducing weight and imparting a distinct and captivating sound to this exceptional automobile.

Porsche is a company renowned for building some of the greatest ever driver's cars- and the GT2 RS stands as one of the most highly regarded. If that isn't enough, the 1 of 1 color combination on this car means that it will be the star of any Porsche gathering you attend- regardless of what other cars are in attendance. It doesn't matter if you are looking for that one crown jewel to add to your garage or another Paint to Sample Porsche to add to your collection. This GT2 RS is positively un-replicable and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
