The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport celebrated its world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show on 28 November 2018. The near standard 700 hp racing version of the road-legal 911 GT2 RS sports car is limited to just 200 units, and can be run at clubsport events as well as selected motorsport meets. “For the upcoming years, our customers will not only race the GT2 RS Clubsport on track days but also at international motor racing events. We are currently holding very productive talks with the race organiser SRO,” said Dr Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President Motorsport and GT Cars.

The technology of the race car is based on the high-performance 911 GT2 RS sports car, just like in the 935, which Porsche unveiled nine weeks ago. Both cars share the same engine as their road-legal relative, a state-of-the-art 3.8-litre flat-six twin-turbo motor. Power from the rear engine is transferred via a rigidly mounted seven-speed Porsche dual clutch gearbox to the 310-millimetre-wide rear wheels. Like in all other racing versions of the 911, the driver changes gears via shift paddles on the steering wheel.

The positioning of the engine behind the rear axle ensures excellent traction and braking performance. Six-piston aluminium monobloc racing callipers on the front axle in combination with 390 mm diameter internally ventilated and grooved steel brake discs provide excellent deceleration values at the front axle. The rear axle is fitted with four-piston callipers and 380 mm discs.

Like the road-legal 911 GT2 RS, the 1390 kg Clubsport version is equipped with PSM (Porsche Stability Management) including traction control as well as an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Depending on the driving situation, these assistance systems can be adjusted separately or switched off completely via a map switch positioned on the centre console.

The carbon steering wheel and the colour display behind it have been taken from the 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 R model. A massive safety cage combined with a racing bucket seat and a six-point safety harness ensure maximum safety. Air conditioning provides optimal cooling of the interior.
