We've seen the car at the presentation of Forza Motorsport 7 and later it was officially unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed: the new Porsche 991 GT2 RS. It is always exciting to see the very first spot of a car on our site and that moment has now arrived for the 991 GT2 RS. And as a bonus it was spotted in bright yellow, what a car!
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.
This particular car is probably a factory test car since it was spotted at the Nürburgring, where the almighty GT2 RS is going through the final rounds of testing before the first copies are being delivered to Porsche's customers. The factory picked a nice color and it really fits the character of the car.
