2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Debuts at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Porsche has finally taken the cover off of its new 991-based 911 GT2 RS.

The highly anticipated car first appeared during the Microsoft Xbox E3 2017 press conference earlier this month, where we learned it will serve as the cover car for Forza Motorsport 7. But strangely, Porsche never really acknowledged that as a debut, keeping details about the car under wraps until today. It even went so far as to keep it under a cover at the Goodwood Festival of Speed prior to its debut – as if no one had seen or heard of it by now.

As the fastest and most powerful street-legal 911 ever produced, the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS produces 700 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque from a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine and tips the scales at 3,241 pounds (1,470 kilograms) with a full tank of fuel. The result is a zero-to-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h). As previously reported, the powerplant is paired to a seven-speed PDK transmission.
