The technical fascination of the Porsche GT2 RS
The Porsche GT2 RS from the 997 generation was built between 2006 and 2012 and represents a significant milestone in Porsche's history. This supercar, powered by a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine, delivers an impressive 620 horsepower. The GT2 RS was developed based on the 911 Turbo but with a strong focus on lightweight construction and performance. Primarily designed for track use, the GT2 RS features a range of technical innovations such as carbon fiber body parts, ceramic brakes, and optimized aerodynamics. By forgoing all-wheel drive and utilizing lightweight materials, the vehicle's weight was reduced to a remarkable 1,370 kilograms (3,020 pounds).

The detailing on the wheels and tires is also visibly accurate.
Innovations and designers of the original
The Porsche GT2 RS was developed under the leadership of a team that included renowned designer Michael Mauer. Porsche's engineers placed particular emphasis on the vehicle's aerodynamic efficiency and weight management. The GT2 RS is equipped with special Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, which, together with the top-notch suspension tuning, ensure exceptional road grip and cornering speed. Experienced engineers like August Achleitner, responsible for the technical implementation, were also part of the design team. The main goal in developing this model was to achieve a balance between maximized performance and high driving dynamics. As a successor to the earlier Porsche 911 GT2 (996), the GT2 RS boasted numerous improvements in terms of technology and performance.
