997 GT2 RS vs. SLS Black Series: A Decade Later

The Intercooler

Debuting in 2010, the 911 GT2 RS (997) marked a milestone for Porsche as the first road-going 911 with over 600 horsepower. Its 3.6L twin-turbocharged flat-six generates 611 horsepower, paired with a GT3 RS chassis. The result is a car that feels both visceral and intimidating.

A couple years later, AMG released the SLS Black Series packing a naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 producing 622 horsepower with an 8,000 RPM redline. The engine benefits from a reworked valve train and modified camshafts, making it one of the finest naturally aspirated V8s ever made.

A decade ago, these two were among the most formidable performance cars on the road. Fast forward to today, do they still uphold that same legacy? This is the question that the folks from The Intercooler will answer for us by comparing these two icons on the road.
