Overview

The 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe. With a standalone trim on offer, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS has a base MSRP of $245,000, competing directly with the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, the Ferrari 458 Italia, and the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG which is considerably less expensive. Only a 3.6L twin-turbocharged flat-6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Together, they produce 620 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, the 911 GT2 RS maintains a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. Porsche offers the 911 GT2 RS in 4 stunning colors, with the Guards Red being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 911 GT2 RS is the most extreme 911 ever to crank up the heat in the supercar market. It offers a unique blend of everyday driving and race-track-worthy performance, unlike its rivals. With just one trim to choose from. Some standout features that are exclusive to the GT2 RS are carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon-fiber body panels, a more aggressive aero package, and styling revisions.
