The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS it is the ultimate interpretation of performance and technical prowess of the current generation of the iconic 911. It is the most powerful, fastest and most extreme series-production 911 clan member in history.

Let's go to the numbers? 700 hp of power and 750 Nm provided by a 3.8 flat-six bi-turbo block. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is accomplished in a scant 2.8 seconds and reaches 340 km/h of top speed.

Traction? Rear, of course. With these credentials, performances capable of scaring Chuck Norris are expected. And nothing scares Chuck Norris...

Currently, that title belongs to the Lamborghini Huracan Performante (6:52) – a time that was not exempt from some suspicions. On the Porsche side, the fastest model title ever belongs to the 918 Spyder (6:57).

One of the drivers who has already got behind the wheel of Flacht's "new beast" was Mark Webber, former Formula 1 driver and winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
