The Porsche 911 GT2 RS. Awe.

Today is the day Forza Motorsport 4 released the Porsche Expansion Pack, loaded with 30 Porsches and new Porsche-related challenges to test the mettle of your Porsche-ism. We'll start today with the one that is truly one of the best 911's ever made and this one's truly hardcore...

Awe...

This is the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, the most powerful road-legal Porsche ever made. Of course, it started out in life as a 911 GT2 but with added 90HP of power and 70kg weight loss, the power to weight ratio is 2.21kg per horsepower. Thanks to Porsche Intelligent Performance, not only the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is powerful but also more fuel efficient thanks to 5% deduction of both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in the NEDC New European Driving Cycle.

It's hard to describe what's what about this ultimate beetle but let me put it this way, in a certain enthusiast's point of view...

&%$#!

*&#@!

The Widowmaker conquers the Corkscrew!

HOLY @$%#!

$#@%ING $@#!

Now that's hot!

ARE YOU $#%ING SERIOUS?!

#$%$@!!!

...and that concludes how I explain about the Porsche 911 GT2 RS. Awe.

Sorry about the rude words told but that's how it happened when your foot touches the pedal of the 911 GT2 RS and with such power, such style, such technique, it's a different animal in the playground. You'll never know what sort of tricks this car can do but believe me, it works like magic. 

Performance is art

It's easy to be seduced to the power, beauty, and soul of the most powerful road-legal Porsche in the world. Judging of its beauty, would you look at that? It kinda looks like some young woman is on her racing swimsuit. Very athletic indeed and yes. That 911 GT2 RS really looked sexy on the outside. On the inside, you would expect that it could be a cave but no. You couldn't guess that the sat-nav is an optional feature, something that The Stig wants to listen to nonsense music while driving the 911 GT2 RS.

Despite its raw power, this is turning to be a mild but menacing Porsche I have ever driven in my life. It can be twitchy, it can be difficult, it can be dynamic, it can bite you from a slight mistake, but overall, this is a fun but terrifying car only the hairy-chested of the men are brave enough to choose it. Surely, it maybe the most powerful since the 997 years but it doesn't win my heart. Sorry but you have to do better than that...

The 911 GT2 RS were made as a special edition model, with just 500 units ever made worldwide but I'm afraid that it's all gone fast. Who cares about it? Despite being sold worldwide in limited numbers, the 911 GT2 RS is all about exclusivity and ferocity only a true Porsche enthusiast would love.

Wow, I never realized that you never liked this one despite the fact that it is quick. Why?

Have you seen Jeremy Clarkson's DVD titled Powered Up? You seen the drag race between that and the McLaren MP4-12C? Well, you know why.

Oh...But anyway, that Porsche 911 GT2 RS really is the ultimate beetle in running shoes and I have no doubt that this one's very quick but is it quick?

To find out, let's go to His Excellency, The Stig!



My 911 GT2 RS did it in 1:17.851! You'd never realized that this Porsche really is quick! It's way more fun than the Carrera GT but sadly, both of them are dead.

(awwww)
