2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Weissach

The Porsche 911 GT2RS name laid dormant in Stuttgart for almost ten years, last used in 2009 with the 997. Then, in 2017, the 991 GT2RS was announced. With a stupendous 700 horsepower from its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged engine, this dual-clutch PDK, rear-wheel-drive “widow maker” was an instant sensation. Adding on top of its already resounding positive press, it set a production car lap record at the Nürburgring with a 6:47 minute lap time, cementing this car as the “baddest” street-legal car in the world, bar none.

This GT2RS represents the pinnacle of Porsche 911 performance that will certainly not be matched for years to come. With its motorsport-derived nature, the driver can live on the ragged edge of performance whenever desired yet comfortable enough to use within daily life driving. The duality of a track monster and daily driver is not often met in a balance such as this, but in the GT2 RS, Porsche has delivered such a masterpiece. The power is relentless, the handling sublime, and the styling could not have been better executed.

History

Records indicate that this GT2RS was initially ordered and delivered to the Portland Metro Area. The car only saw the pacific northwest for eight months before making its way down to the golden state of California. From there, this GT2RS found its home in sunny Los Angeles for the next two years. The car received a maintenance inspection and oil change at 4,000 miles in Costa Mesa, California. The vehicle then traded hands to a gentleman out in New York. This GT2RS lived in a warm and cozy garage for the next two years, with the owner only driving it in the most pristine weather conditions. Eventually, the golden state of California came calling back, and the car found itself back to Canepa.
